That's awesome that your story was in a magazine! Too funny that they had to change the color of your shirt!

OMG wishes. I was blown away this afternoon, to stand at a checkout and see you on the cover of that magazine. I haven't been on WLF for ages of course, so I wasn't up to date about what you were doing.
They should have let you write the story, eh? Your writing is heaps better than the magazine article's.
But wow this blew my mind!! You are on the front cover of a magazine, 5345 kilometers (3322 miles), away, in another country, and someone you have never met has just recognized you!!
Congratulations!! Great pics - and I love the latest avvie too!!
Countdown to surgery time now - I hope every little thing goes as smoothly as possible. View attachment 6767

omg seriously? you saw it and recognized me? 
thats so cool. I finally have the mag in my hands! im soo happy!
I gave a copy to some friends and she read it and just cracked up laughing. She said 'the only truth in that magazine is the fact that i lost weight, and im donating a kidney!'
But i agree, it is utter bullshit. she also said 'Liz doesnt cry! clearly the story made up garbage, and i have never EVER seen her hang her head down, even at her biggest!'.
it was the coolest thing anyones ever said
Anyhoo im going back to bed, cycling this morning cancelled due to rain and a late night - more rain than anything.

Warmed up OJ is supposed to give you an incredile vitamin C boost! Jst put it in the microwave for half a minute or so.
Other old wives tale remedy: the juice of half a lemon and a spoonful of honey, again warmed up in the microwave (these old wives clearly were quite modern), will help cure a sore thoat.
And I love your article in that glossy mag! It was fab! Took a while to load up, but it was worth the wait!

blerg bad night - feel like ass.
Applied for a job down the line and now waiting to hear if we've got it (2 jobs, hubby and i both applied for them both). Would be great to move out of the city, and get away from this company, but right now i just want to go back to bed because i cant breath.

i did, i went home early and called it a halfday. went and got some asthma medication, some antibiotics for chest infection, some antibacterial throat lolly things, and some cold medication.
Feeling marginally better, but probably wont feel much better for a day or two (as with any cold).
I have the last test before the kidney operation tomorrow, so i had the day off work already planned. Hopefully the medication helps me sleep some tonight better.
Pizza for dinner tonight - thanks to my son who has a job at the local gourmet pizza place, we get it cheap
And its actually decent pizza too, not just tons of cheese and lard, but more like a gourmet dinner on a pizza base.

yep thatd be my birthday.
okay the cold/flu got worse and after last post i ended up in hospital for asthma. got a ton of drugs and shit for it. The next day i did the other hospital test for the kidney.
My arms now from all the needles make me look like a heroin junkie with bruises and pinholes from all the various needles. Still no exercise, you really gotta be joking. The drugs i take make me not able to sleep (steroids etc) so im tired but cant sleep, i think ill try for an arvo nap in a mo.
To top it off, i have a dinner to go to tonight with my cycling team and have had to deal with the entire family being sick as well. And tomorrow (sunday) i have to get up bright and early to drop off kids, and drive 2 hours for a job interview.
We may be moving down country if we get these jobs! horay!
Cheaper housing, higher pay, nicer area! fingers crossed
Anyway thats the general catchup. Oh yeah and even though i was off work sick and with designated day off for hospital tests, i still had to go into the office to fix shit because dickhead developers somehow accidentally added the CEO user into the ldap repeatedly, which meant it broke his email. Imagine being a CEO and not being able to get any email :O
So thats where i was at midnight last night anyhoo. On the plus side i had been hyper from those drugs anyway
I think ill stay away from the booze tonight!

How funny! My birthday is September 7 as well! I'll hope that means we have some cosmic link that means I may have some tiny portion of your determination for good health!
Also, chest infections are frightful. I'm battling a nasty virus that's settled in my chest just now. I really, really need it to be gone so I can climb back up on that elliptical.
Love the new avatar!

oh yegads ive overeaten tons in the last 2 days
seriously
cooked breakfasts, leftovers for lunch so much dinner that i couldnt sit down.
Then going down the line (2 hours trip) eating cooked junk food, then paid for fancy lunch as the guy schmoozes us, then friends on the way back for more junk, then more food at friends when picking up kids at dinner time.
For the most part i wasnt even hungry today, i just ate! and i cant get on a bike to burn it off either which is mega suckage.
Im gonna have to regain a bit of ground. On the plus side the guy at the interview said he would come back with an offer mid next week.
So this means the job offer is definate, so long as we can agree wages and terms etc then its all good, we might be moving own the line!

the potential job offer and move sound like an exciting new adventure.. i do hope it works out in your favor.
As for the other stuff.. I've faith in you - you know what you have to do and you'll do it - as long as you enjoyed yourself... you know it's not going to send you int a spiral of months of overeating...
