well today was so-so
got up, son made me coffee with sugar so i tipped it. Just as i tipped it he yelled "DONT! WE HAVE NO MORE MILK!"
So no coffee for this morning, no breakfast - was to late.
By the time i got to work i was starving! so bought a BLT and coffee from the cafe, scraped the 2 cups of mayo out of it and ate it. It was HUGE!
Anyway because it so totally filled me up i skipped lunch without realizing it till 3pm then had a yogurt for lunch (still wasnt that hungry)
Had hot dogs for dinner which was super yum :D
I have since gone shopping - but i still managed to miss toilet paper... hopefully it will last till i get some tomorrow :/

My daughter is doing well in her business that she started (bought 100 alphabet rings for $35 and is selling em for $2.50 each). Shes made $25 so far in only 3 days. Now shes talking about making a website (Or was that me making a website for her?).

My ugly pimple has started to receed finally - i have my husbands work do tomorrow so hopefully its not overly noticeable by then :D
 
What a little entreprenuer you have on your hands! That's good profit! We sell on ebay (well..my wife does) and she makes a fair amount there. Enough that I don't have to get a second job... and we're about to sign a deal to sell cars for a dealership and we get commission on it! I REALLY hope it pans out!

She's going to sell cars on ebay for a dealership? Whoa that's big, she must be good.
 
You have NO idea! She took this saddle from a garage sale that we bought for 500, cleaned it up, did the auction....turned around and sold it for about 1300... she's amazing!
 
Hey Wishes! Sounds like she's doing an awesome job! Looks like you're about to get busy creating her website! :p

Bummer about not having milk. With all this talk about coffee, I've started back drinking it again. :eek: Oh well...there could be worse things I suppose. :D

Hmm, might just ask her if she'll tutor me as I try to start my ebay career :p Seriously though, being a single mom is tough sometimes. I've been trying to find a second job that would allow me to work from home. Otherwise all my extra money would be going towards childcare...somebody's gotta keep my baby while I'm working. So I figured I'd try this.

I just limit myself to coffee only when at other peoples house or if i have visitors, and only in the morning to get me going.

Ive weaned myself off all sugar, but i still take low fat milk :D

And there is a LOT of money to be made online still. try finding an importer with a decent product that will sell and you can put at least 100% markup and it still be cheap (its easier than you would think).
Then order a bunch, sell them - reinvest the money into ordering more stuff
its xmas, you outta be able to make a fair few bucks.
Stuck to electronics or kids toys. Kids toys break less often though as a general rule (less returns) :D
Like i said, my daughter turned my $35 nto $250 easy enough.
 
I want to sell some recipies on ebay........is this stupid!??
Can i do it????
Good job on the scrappin off the mayo on the BLT I would have not been able to resist........love mayo!!!!
Have a good night wishes its only 3pm here!!!!:D STAR
 
Well today was a suck diet day. Probably my worst yet so far.

First we had hash browns for breaky - that was fine. I went to do a survey for some company (nothing like $40 for answering questions eh!), only to find out we had to taste test stuff ... so after an hour of taking tiny nibbles on various fish cakes we then went off to my husbands xmas work do.
Well it was nice .. until they rolled out the crackers and brie .. well anyone who knows me its one of my little vices.
So i was not to bad limiting myself, only had a few. I stuck mostly to pickled onions and a few crackers.

Okay i admit, im sitting in a room full of my own stench, i ate *LOTS* of picked onions.

Anyway, so then the meal came out. Fully catered. Mostly salad but a bit of meat .. well that probably put me near my upper limit on calories. I was ok with that.
It was when they brought out desert and i ended up having the cream cake and fruit pie thing that the major semi-deliberate blow out thing happened.
I seriously thought about it, then thought 'fuck it all its a party!' and ate it.
I feel terribly guilty about it now :/

I did eat to much, though i did try and stick to mostly fruit and veg, i KNOW i went overboard. Im tossing up weather it was intentional or not though really. Did i kid myself into thinking it was a choice? or was it just old habits ? More to the point, is this the start of breaking the diet thats been stuck to so excellently for the last 5-6 months?

Either way, its only made me more determined to kick this shit back in the guts. Ive been slacking off majorly with exercise - ive been doing "passable" with exercise, enough to keep up weightloss but not really enough to be kicking ass. The losses im having are less than they used to be and this is the course.

I havnt been to the gym in a month nearly. Just cycling - and i barely did any of that this week either.
Tomorrow im going on a very long bike ride up a very steep hill as far as i can go, then im gonna come back :)
Burn off as many calories as i used. Then as of monday im back into the gym AND cycling to work. December is gonna be my ass kicking month!
Im gonna ban all those sneaky things that have slowley made their way into my diet, and go with more salads and vegs and fruits (plus of course my protien)
 
Yo Allawishes...........go kick some ass!!!!!
I totaly feel inspired now!!!!!!
Your like that trainer dude in rocky!!!!!
YO ADRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!:D STAR
 
Oh Geezus, don't get me started on the cheese family. By far the most painful part of my 'eating divorce' :(

Nice to read you're grabbing problems and dealin' with 'em straight away. For people looking for 'secrets' on losing weight, that's probably one of the biggest tips right there. Deal with it NOW, not tomorrow.
 
haha thanks, and yeah thats true
Unfortunatly id forgotten that i was supposed to fix a friends computer today and my son had his BBQ thing for a group hes with. No riding done today :/
Ill try and do some cycling later tonight - i need to go to my friends place anyway - thats 7km away.
 
Okay, I found out what lots of pickled onions do.

I dont weigh in every day but the new scales are a novelty that havnt worn off yet :)
So i weighed in this morning wondering what damage if any i had from yesterdays eating.
I was up 0.5kg (about 1.3lb), i wasnt overly fussed by it - i know it will go.
So then i had breakfast, and went for a pretty long pee (ok i started to feel like austin powers when he got defrosted and peed for hours).
Then we went out to a friends place, i went to the toilet no less than 4 times in 2 hours. Both 1s and 2s. Then to my sons BBQ thing (stopping halfway because i had to pee!), and then got home and went several more times.
So by 4pm i was curious ... so i got on the scales again.
Even with a days worth of eating and drinking i managed to loose 1.5kg(3lb or so) from when i got up till 4pm!


:D
anyway enough about my peeing etc. Off to go fix yet another friends computer :)
 
LOL. Just changing my water intake has led to a whole series of inconvenient moments for me during this first new planned week for me. I have a job where having to run to the loo frequently is an issue. It was good to read about someone else's pee problems! :D

I was looking at your before and after photos. They are fantastic! Good on you! I don't feel too comfortable about taking before photos of myself but maybe I should. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. :) :)
 
Take the pics of yourself before, just dont show or post them. I seriously regret not taking more or having better ones.

Thanks for the comment about the before/after ones :D

Good to know that others are enamoured with me tales of the pee. hehe I think this week i know what will be on my grocery list!
PICKLED ONIONS! :D
