New beginnings, new journey

Awesome day yesterday... Will come back and write later though, have to start work at 5am for the next month so getting ready now... bla so early!!


Also... we found the cat we're going to get!
 
Had another perfect day today. Feeling bloated and awful still though, it's taking a while for me to feel normal again!! Damn you gluten for tasting so good!! My own fault really...


Um, so new development... We found a kitten we wanted from over east, and have been conversing back and forth with the breeder and she really wanted us to take 2 cats as it's a long flight over here (6 hours) and she was pretty hesitant to send it by itself. Anyway, after speaking about it at length with my husband and Wade, and then calling my dad (who used to breed cats, so he was full of good advice) we are getting 2 more! Eee, really hope we won't regret this (though being completely honest, I know I won't... haha does this make me a crazy cat lady??) It makes sense to have 2 kittens that can be kitten-ish with each other so they don't hassle our other two. Well, it's a new adventure. I have enough spare time and space to do it. So yea, that's going to be fun! I'm super excited!!!


So I'm going to be working in the bakehouse for the next month or so now... Pretty sure all the way up until I go on holidays. It means I start work at 5am every day for a month though... Bleh. Lots of extra hours to pick up now too, working 6 days next week!! Going to be pretty awesome for the holiday fund. Not long days though, 5am-1:30pm every day.


Plan for tomorrow

Breakfast: Smoothie with banana, mango, spinach, vanilla, cinnamon, chia seeds

Snack: Chick pea chips

Lunch: Chia seed roll with 2 hard boiled eggs and spinach
Snack: Coconut creme Larabar

Dinner: Slow cooked beef Vindaloo with lean beef, broccoli and chick peas


Exercise is a 20min walk, upper body workout and stretching. Working 5-2 tomorrow.
 
AHeya Crazy cat lady!!!

I totally laughed out loud when i read that you were having 2 kittens Together!!!!!! :smilielol5: My two are sisters and they totally wrecked the house :smilielol5: :smilielol5: In a very adorable cute kinda way but i have never seen two things that small, cute and fluffy cause sooooooo much havok lol I have breed from my dogs and a house full of puppies didn't come close to the chaos the kittens caused (still laughing lol) I can't wait til you get them. You have got to tell us all the crazy stories of what they get up to. I'm really jealous, mine are pretty boring these days, they are 13 now.

I sooooooooooooooooo know what you mean about feeling bloated, i'm the same. It really makes you never wanna eat that shit ever again huh. We will be back to normal in a few days

Love and hugs (still laughing at your craziness!!) Xxx
 
OMG! That's so great! I would love to have another cat, but my fiance says one is enough. When we get married and get a house we'll get a dog, but no more than one cat. lol. I'm hoping my little Evie (8 or 9 years old) will be with us for a long long time. She's been my baby since I got her in the 7th grade. Love that ball of fur!


Sorry to hear of your bloating issues. :( Hope you get back to feeling better soon.
 
Will definitely be posting photos!! Luna is a Scottish fold and Xena is a Scottish shorthair (same litter but ears didn't fold) they are both seal points. Probably going to be posting about them a fair bit as I think they'll be taking up a fair bit of my spare time!!
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh was sooooo tired all day!! Like INSANELY tired!!! One of the bakers tried telling me something first thing this morning, and I said What? 3 times after not understanding him, and he just stormed off and said don't worry about it... Seriously like he was speaking another language. He must think I'm mental, damn me and my morning brain fog! Ahh still so tired, but had to come home and make birthday cake for my husband and organise him a yummy dinner. So it's the first time I've had a chance to sit down today- cake is in the oven, kitchen is clean, beef roast is nearly roasted...


Didn't do my exercise yesterday, and then had a bag of popchips lol. So a 600 cal deficit yesterday, and a 987cal deficit today. Doing well I think! 5 days to go...


Plan for tomorrow

Breakfast: 2 slices chia seed bread with grilled homemade cheese and spinach
Snack: Slice of date and walnut bread

Lunch: Chia seed roll with leftover roast beef

Snack: Choc coffee Larabar

Dinner: Slow cooked Vindaloo with lean beef, broccoli and chick peas


Exercise is 20min walk, 10min upper body workout, and lotsa stretching. Have been pretty slack on the exercise this week, but I'm absolutely blaming it on my lack of sleep. I'm too tired to understand English, let alone walk outside... (Still cringing in embaressment, have to work with this guy every day for a month).


No chance of me eating birthday cake or fucking up today either, never been a fan of cake... Not really hungry or anything either. Just think I'll be going to bed at like 7pm...
 
AHeya hot stuff

That sucks that you're so tired but you made me giggle saying about your brain fog lol i have to have coffee in the morning before i even get out of bed to try and combat that.

Hope you have a lovely dinner with your lovely hubby.

Oh and when do the babies arrive.....I'm proper excited for you. I tried asking Mark if we can have another cat..........You can guess his answer lol
 
Kitties flight comes in at 11:30am on Tue!!! I'm working though, so going to take an hour lunch break to pick them up, then work back an extra half hour (I'm only rostered to have 30min lunch breaks) so they should know their way around their room by the time I get home. I'm soooooooo excited!!!! Going to keep them separate from our current cats for a while, while we are at work anyway. Going to be interesting introducing not one, but TWO cats to them... Haha let the madness commence!!


Oh and I've been having coffee every morning... and another when I get home. Doesn't really seem to help, I'm lacking in sleep waaay too much for it to affect me! Not exercising again today, I'm practically falling asleep. Think I might do a workout tomorrow on my day off, I'll get up and do it first thing in the morning (when I wake up.. I'm SO not planning on intentionally getting up early. Though I think a sleep in for me right now would be until 5:30-6am...).


Tomorrows plan

Breakfast: 2 slices chia seed bread with grilled uncheese and spinach

Snack: Slice of walnut and date bread

Lunch: Instant lentil curry pilaf

Snack: 2 rows of raw dark chocolate with coconut

Dinner: Slow cooked Vindaloo with lean beef, chick peas, and broccoli


Exercise will be a 30min walk, 10mins strength training, and 10mins of stretching. Plans for tomorrow are to go shopping and get stuff for the kitties room!!! I ordered a new (and much bigger) cat tree and several toys from dealsdirect, but they won't be here till late next week or the week after. So going to grab a few toys, some new cat bowls, kitten food... eeeeeeeee... excited! Plus my husband has the day off so we can spend some time together. Yay! Ahh... dont have another day off till Thur after tomorrow, working 6 days next week.
 
AHeya Crazy cat lady

Ooooooh, how exciting, tuesday is sooooo close. I am uber excited for you. Don't forget lots and lots of photos :) And check out all the stuff you are getting for them!!! They are gonna have the life of luxury with you :)

Thank you soooooooo much for the links and advice you posted on my diary. I did a lot of 'oh, that figues' when reading up on it. You are such a good friend :) Thank you so much for caring sweetie.

Love and hugs Xx
 
I went over maintenance cals yesterday, grrr. I know I can still have a 4000cal deficit though by Thu if I am good every other day this week... Hating how I'm kinda one step forward, 2 steps back right now!! Also I woke up at 5:30am today, which is sooooooooo frustrating because it'll be the one morning this week I get to sleep in until Thursday. Just have to slog my way through until then... Still really not used to getting up so early and being so tired all the time is really throwing my routine!!!
 
We have a really big tropical storm supposed to hit us tomorrow arvo sometime, it was a category 2 cyclone but it's calmed down a little... expecting insane amounts of rain and thunder and strong winds though all week. Awesome.


I am going to have 3 perfect days, then I'm going to weigh in and start from there!! Going to do this!!


Todays plan

Breakfast: 2 slices multigrain gluten free bread with choc peanut butter

Snack: Chick pea chips

Lunch: Chia seed bun with uncheese and spinach

Snack: Choc coffee Larabar

Dinner: Beef Vindaloo with chick peas and broccoli


Not planning any exercise for the next few days, still so damn tired and TOM is coming... if I can make it 3 awesome food days I'll be happy!!!
 
AHeya Crazy cat lady

Don't stress too much about going over a little bit, you're doing awesome and are so inspiring. (i am such a hipocrite, i know lol) But seriously, you're awesome!! and it's not 1 step forward, 2 back. Think of it as 1/2 a step back.

Ooooh how exciting about the storm, it's not dangerous for you guys is it? I love storms, especially lying in bed at night listening to them but we get nothing to what you are discribing.
Stay safe sweetie and chin up, you are awesome and you will get straight back on track, no worries. You rock :)
 
979cal deficit today!! 1 perfect day down, 2 to go.


Kate- I love storms, but apparently this might turn back into a cyclone so not really too excited about that!! It's already rained all day- first time it's rained here for like 4 months!! Of course, everything is flooded... hoo ha...

:grouphug:<------- That hug is for you by the way, thanks for believing in me when I can't!!


GETTING KITTENS TOMORROW!!! EEEEEEEEE!!!



Plan for tomorrow

Breakfast: Brown rice pudding with almond milk (the rain made me feel like it!)
Snack: Chick pea chips

Lunch: Curried egg sandwiches

Snack: Slice of date and walnut loaf

Dinner: Beef Vindaloo with chick peas and broccoli


No exercise, it's supposed to be pissing down with rain until Fri... and the Pilates books I've ordered haven't come yet. Grrr.


Did I mention I'm getting kitties tomorrow?? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
 
It's still pouring down here, and we are on flood watch... Hoping that they aren't going to start closing roads, there's only one road to the airport... would be devastated if they fly them here and I couldn't pick them up!! Bloody storm...
 
AHeya Crazy cat lady :)

:grouphug: Right back at ya sweetie. You are always there for me, it's the least i can do. :)

Aww NO!!! they can't close the road!!! Kitties!!!!

I am so excited for you. Can't wait to see pictures of the little cuties :)
 
Picke up kitties all good and everything, the storm has cleared for now... apparently it might be forming into a cyclone now though. Arrgh. Freakin weather!!!


Kitties are very tired, one is super playful and the other is really shy... I'll just post the couple of pics I've taken, they're dodgy ones from my phone and one kept moving, the other kept hiding lol... So not the greatest pics ever...


Luna





Xena




Ate to calories today, had a 979cal deficit. Yew!!!


Tomorrows plan is exactly the same as todays, so not going to bother posting it...
 
So... that storm has turned into a category 1 cyclone and we are on blue alert.. If I don't write for a few days it's cuz our internet would've been knocked out!!! Supposed to hit us around 2pm tomorrow.
 
AOooooohhhhhh i want one!!!!!

I'll take luna :) I'm loving the flat ear look, i have never seen that in cats over here. We just kinda have the 'moggie' kinda cats here. I want one! I want one!

So so cute...Sigh

Mark got a bit stroppy when i tried pestering him for a kitten :( Apparantly my three dogs and two cats are enough lol

Well done on a good food day and hope the weather calms soon Stay safe sweetie! I sugest you stay in doors for the duration of the storm........to play with the kitties :)
