Had a fantastic day

Actually a darn good day.

Slept in until about 9 had a rough nite hurt my knee earlier in the nite and it was throbbing then to top it off I turned over in bed and twisted my back the wrong way so it was sore too. So by 2am I was doped up with painkillers.
Had breakfast-went to shops, did some chores, went to Mum's then realised it was time to go to golf and hadn't had lunch-will I go won't I go wouldn't be any good anyway so why bother, I can't go back again on Tuesday till March because of work so why bother, then I thought I am going to go. So grabbed couple of banana's and off I went got there and no one else there so nearly left again. Waited few minutes others arrived but no faces I knew-come on ya wimp u r not piking out now. So in I went couple of folks greeted me and then others arrived and names drawn and off we went.
Had a fantastic time-didn't embarrass myself and first hole I even only missed it by 1 shot over par. 3hrs later back to club for a much needed toilet stop and lovely refreshing lime and soda. Got home from golf-showered and biked to weight management-stayed same so that was a HUGE boost. Biked home head wind so took shorter route. Tea.
So I am pleased with today.

Well things changed

Went to Inv hubbies aunt wasn't at all good
Tuesday night while I was out hubby got a call to say they were going to take her off drips etc. Then when I got home from work and there was a message on answer machine to say she had gone. So appointments had to be changed and cancelled(leg wax for one) So with lots of juggling we were back on the road again on Friday. We decided to stay in motel, had offers of accomodation from friends etc but I thought hubby needed some space. Food was dismal over the weekend. Scales last week were dreadful and a 3.4k increase and I thought I'd been ok so with a dreadful weekend of bad eating I dread to think what the scales will say Tuesday night.

Planning to play golf tomorrow socail group meets Tues at 1pm will be my first day with them(and last till March but gonna go all the same) Looking forward to it but nervous at same time-I know most that play either by sight or hello basis so will be ok.

Have a hair appointment Wednesday colour and cut-I want a new look but guess as i am dealing with same gal I'll get same treatment. Even the same will look better than the grey blob on top of my shoulders.

Thursday trip to Timaru again going to see dietican haven't seen her since July and really not keen as I have gained all of what I have lost in time since I seen her gaine dit in 2 weeks.

Went for a great walk this afternoon-felt so good.

Tonight we went to Wizard of Oz-I wasn't all that impressed with the show can't see what the connection with wizzard of oz was but the kids in audience enjoyed it and guess it was a kids show.

Bought a motivational CD from Annette Sym (Symply too good to be true cookbooks) very good and its excellent. Need a cd player in bedroom I could listen to this while going to sleep. Will turn it on now Hubby is on phone so listen for a few minutes till he gets off talking motor bikes so he could be there a while heheheh.

Hubby and I am off to Invercargill for the weekend-his Aunty isn't well and this will be last chance we get to go before Christmas.
Unfortunately the style workshop has been postponed was to be on Wed but think its going to maybe happen in January. So will have to fit in a hair colour before Christmas. Have an appointment for 22nd to get my legs waxed and eyebrow top up.
Had a hell of a thunder storm her early hours of this morning some of the tunder really shock the house and I can tell you it was the main topic of conversation at work today.
I have been so organised this week I cooked the weeks meals on Sunday so all I have to do at night is heat and eat...so far I have remember to take food out of freezer night b4...stir fried beef snitzel and salad and crusty rolls for tom tea...have the marinate made with mix it with the meat in mornng and bob's ya uncle. Working begining of next week too so will have to get some salad mixes at supermarket and cold meat.
Made some more lovely clothes purcahses on trade me and mail order...I think I might have to go to a 12 step program My name is Felicity and I am a clothes buying junkie...wouldn't be so bad if I actually went any were to wear the clothes heheheh or had shoes to match.

Here I go again

off to Chch this morning(well actually only going to Ashburton tonight Chch tom after a day of garden tours) Case is packed bike is leaning on car...live in fear of forgetting it. I had hoped for a restful nites sleep but that didn't happen and here it is 6am and i am wide awake and have to fast for blood test at nine...I can tell you this cup of hot water isn't doing it for me I came here to keep my mind of being hungrey oh yeah I guess I could do some housework but what is the point I won't be here to see it and himself sure won't keep it clean while I'm away, I haven't even cooked his meals for the weekend this time he can fend for himself.

Had a great day yesterday. Left home at 8.30 walk to town did some messages bought a frizbee and meet the girls at 9am. This was huge for me-I only know these girls by site and they are all young slim chicks I felt a bit grandmotherly but not for long was made feel welcome and had great fun...wish I'd known more about this when Rachel was here we could have had a game. After couple of hours some of the kids were geting cranky so we moved on the the cafe for much need coffee some had food amazing how throwing a frizbee can make u hungrey I was but after coffee bought a yogurt, banana and very crunchy apple and took it round to Mums to have she was baking so I didn't stay long...my trade me parcel had arrived so I checked out the 3 new tops great and the skirt.

wear last one and pink slacks today with my black K & K jacket I got off trade me a few weeks ago. Had hoped my ezibuy pants woul have been here b4 leaving they are brown for the other 2 tops but never sure of ezybuy sizings and could take them back if to small. Made a couple of sales myself last night so keen to grab a t-shirt and skirt but both close after I leave so playing that one by ear. Anyway back to yesterday I got home about 1.30 time enough to checkmail and much need toilet stop and then off out to meet Dawn for a bike ride(18k) was ned having company on the ride and didn't seem nearly as long actually took me a litttle longer cause we went slower than i usually go. Dawn is just starting out she has been inspired by me and I am very proud of how much she is doing couple f time she said oh but you do this or that I said Dawm I couldn't when I started I've got 12mths on you Told her she does more than me she goes to gym walks to work 3k and works in a cafe on the go most of the day and bikes as well she is doing great...warned her not to burn out but she doesn't hear that It took me months for her to realise she wasn't eating enough. oh god there I go food again my stomach just did a flip. Dawn and I are going to stay togeter in Chch at the hotel I usually stay at she will drive up Sat night get ther after 11 then we have to be up at 6 to do the duathlon and drive home again by herself to work again Sun night.

Had a nice pork stirfry for tea and no night nibbles so was pleased with my day all round.

Oh well I best go make a start I could load the car and lock bike on that will help get a bit closer to 9.

Have a great weekend everyone.

well bugger me days

I got my new shoes from #1 shoe today and they are great have them on now breaking them in pinch a little but will stretch I would think(and my feet were pretty swollen too) but they are fashionablestrapy with a bit of a heel. I am so happy with them and only $35 including postage. Can't wait to go out somehwere flash to wear them....not sure how comfy they'll be for walking any distance, may get a second pair.

Weighed in last night 600gms loss yeah 2 weeks in a row lost now to manage to keep it up.

Frizbee golf tomorrow should be a laugh.

Also got another 2 tops bought off trademe will go great with jeans.

Well Prison Break is nearly on so I'm off to get settled in front of telly.
