The final countdown!

Nice loss!

Finding an activity that really motivates you is so important. I imagine pole fitness requires a lot of strength, balance and coordination. Even if I was a female I am far too introverted for anything like that, but that's why everyone has to find there own thing. Mine was lifting, but now that my back is hurt I'm looking for something new.
 
^^ thx
It does require so much strength but the great thing about it is that you gain it as you go. I need to regain a lot :(
You will find something you enjoy,

I love it.
Here's a video just for pointing out that men and pole fitness is not what most people assume. This guy is very good and I can't do any of these moves lol

That was a cool clip! Thanks for sharing :)
You must be getting crazy strong arms doing that stuff! Well crazy strong everything really.
 
My internet connection is incredibly slow at the moment, so watching videos is out! :( I loved Icy's comment "Well crazy strong everything really" That made me giggle! Pole sounds like fun & great exercise. xoxo Cate
 
He is super good and I wish I could pole like him.

I have had a couple of bad days....
I even got jealous when the neighbor come to visit. She comes sometimes to borrow things and she's really nice. I have no reason to be jealous other the feeling fat which I guess brought on some insecurities. I'm not normally jealous and trust hubby with my life.
Lucien is in love with her and normally I find his showing off rather cute but I even got jealous of that.... Silly thoughts I know, it's strange how the mind works sometimes.
I went on a chocolate binge (details below) and tonight I cut my hair!
It's gotten so long and in all honesty I didn't really notice since I have kids and tie it back all the time. It was half way down my back. Anyway I untied it as Lucien wanted to play with it. I mentioned to hubby that is gotten long and he said yeah. I asked if I should cut it or leave it and he said maybe cut 10/15 cm off.... he looked like he really didn't like it that long
It was all I could think about while putting Lucien down so I went in the bathroom and just chopped it off to just under my shoulders....
I always trim my own hair but have never just chopped it like this! (I now need to book in at the hair dresser :-/ )
And to top this all off I have a huge pimple just under my chin. One of those ones that hurt... I felt so ugly I tried to squeeze it and now I have a big red ugly scab there!!!! Lucien points to it and asks what is that?

Anyway, hubby's parents are coming tomorrow so we are going out for dinner alone (our fav restaurant but they do amazing salads so that's what I will have)

Focus for tomorrow
- enjoy a few hours out alone with hubby
- better mood
- no eating bad even at the restaurant.

25/09 = 77.7
26/09 = 77.1
27/09 = 77.1
28/09 = 77.4 L&P chocolate 250 gms
29/09 = 78.2 cookie, pack of Tim tams and jambon cru sandwich with butter (over half a baguette)

Aww sweetie :grouphug: Sounds like a case of HGH to me. That's hormones gone haywire. You're the one they love sweetie.
You are the one they love.
Now that the damage has been done, treat yourself to a lovely haircut & do a little pampering. Get the cut that you want, not anyone else. Sending you a special hug & 3 pecks on alternate cheeks! Mwah, mwah, mwah, xoxoxo Cate
 
Thx cate.
HGH sounds like a good explanation. I knew they were silly thoughts as I was feeling them :-/
I told hubby after she left how I was feeling and why and he reassured me.
It was random as we have seen her many times.

I will treat me to a haircut. I will do this tomorrow as I have both boys home with me today as the crèche is understaffed. I start Owen there tomorrow for the adaptation period which is probably another reason why my emotions are haywire.
 
Sure :) I will PM it though. Hopefully I can get an appointment today with the hairdresser.

78.5 this morning and did the chocolate thing again yesterday... None what so ever today!!!

Dinner out though was really nice, just the two of us.
 
Haircut is tomorrow :D

No chocolate today :D

Owens first day at the crèche and tomorrow I have to leave him there for 15 mins :(

Lots of chocolate. Been there! I recently threw out all of the junk food I purchased for myself so I couldn’t eat it. Waste of money and food, but if it was here I’d eat it and then I’d have to work that much harder to work it off. Not interested in that! It sounds like you’re getting back on track with having no chocolate though, so that’s a good thing.

I wanted to touch on your comment a few days ago about feeling ugly. I think we all feel that from time to time, especially when we get pimples, but they will go away and all will be well. You’re a beautiful person inside and out. I’m sure of that! :)
 
My hair looks great but no pic yet sorry, I tie it back often as Owen like to spill up after feeding etc.

I've done that before also, if it's not in the flat I can't eat it. Chocolate is such a weakness for me.

Thanks :) I know the inside counts more but I still focus on the outside :-/ but your right.
76.6 this morning yay! Today I have to leave Owen at the crèche for an hour :(
I don't want to go back to work. I used to like my job and the people there but after the redundancy plan.... People changed and it's just so depressing! Plus I would rather be at home with my kids.
It's hard to not let it affect you when everyone else is involved in the bitching and complaining.
 
Sounds like where I work. I used to love my job too, but lately more and more people are turning into miserable whiners and it's horrible. For the most part, I like the people here. Some more than others, but there are a few I avoid like the plague because I know it's just going to be all complaining.

I'm sorry you can't be a stay at home mom. I don't have kids, but I have pets and I would love to be a stay at home mom to them! :)
 
That is one of the reasons I'm kind of glad I work alone. But I too wish I could be home with my puppy all day long. Hoping when we have kids that one of us will be making enough so the other can stay home with the kids and maybe work part time only.

Hope things at work get better!
 
I'm glad you like your hair Suz & well done on being 76.6 &
Congratulations
on being over half way to Goal!
Well done!!!!!
:party:
:D​
xo Cate
 
Thxsies, yes I wish I could stay at home, I miss them when they are at the crèche plus Owens still so little (big little lol)

Cate, BIG HUG, thanks. Yes half way there YAY me!

I was up today but I knew I would be. I had a planned treat with a friend. A pub dinner of fries and onion rings and 4 glasses of wine.
Was nice to get out and have some girly fun.

But OMG 4 glasses of wine over 4 hours and when we stood up we giggled so hard at ourselves because we were crouching from sore backs and were tipsy and couldn't find our feet..... I feel so old.

Yesterday 76.1 today 76.8
