What does an old 29 year old look like??



I still haven't mastered this photo thing..... so the photos are first!! The first photo was taken christmas day 2004 - I didn't think I looked too bad - but here taken saturday night 18kg lighter (with my handsome husband)...



I had a great birthday - thank you everyone for your birthday wishes... Went out for tea with Jack, My Mum & Sister and had a great night. I don't know what the best thing was about it - Going out with no kids... a beautiful meal... great company... a clean house to come home to... or that the kids played up for their babysitter and he didn't get them to bed until late and the slept in until 8.30 (the boy still got up early...) So all in all - it was a great day!
Eating wise was also ok - I have walked each and every day this week - I am going to lose that 200grams that was gained the week before! I am still on NoCount and finding it still ok.. but I was caught out yesterday! Went to Skipton to have a look at a ute for Jack (early mid-life crisis - looking for a HX holden ute - like he had when we was younger...) and went to a pub in the middle of nowhere and I ordered the chicken fillet - thinking that it was just that - a chicken fillet.. but it turned out to be a deep fried crumbed little number - I still ate it - but it is the first time that I have ordered something and it turned out to be not what I expected... so I guess a lesson learnt!!
The guys have just left - after installing or Split System A/C - so bring on the hot weather so I can test out this little baby!! Hugh loved them - he sat out the front and ate smoko with them - they feed him biscuits, so I guess he wasn't going anywhere in a hurry!
All three babies sleeping at present - once they awake we are heading over to Murtoa for me to do an inspection for work - (I have gone back to work casusally - property manager for Real estate company - just doing out of town inspection etc - kids come with so it is't too much!!) so once that it done the day will be nearly over. I didn't get out and walk this morning..so it will again be a evening walk. Jack got me an MP3 player for my birthday so lovng walking at the moment. I went through all of my old Cd's the other day. You know how record company release those one hit wonder albums where they get the one and only hit a band might had and put it on one cd - well lI think I have the entire album of most of these one hit wonders... Frente! Arrested Development.. the list gets more and more embrassing (if that it possible)... so I have loaded up the MP3 player with all of these songs and I walk on my merry way! So with my pedometer and MP3 player - walking has become quite high tech for me - considering that when I started WW I didn't even own a pair of sneakers anymore! (My feet have become an entire size bigger since having children - I now have tranny feet - only transexuals and me have size 10 feet !!!) So a lot has happened since Sep!!
OK - better go adn hang out another load of washing... have a great day!!!

*humming* Accidently Kelly Street - thanks for that.

You look sensational!! You wouldn't even think you were 20 in that newest photo. It is hard to believe that you have 3 children and have done so much. Well done.

Hope you have a great time listening to your MP3 player. I am off now to find some Soft Cell LOL

Sounds like a great night out. Just wish I could see your photos. Might be cause I'm at work, so I'll check later at home.

Thanks so much for your supportive comment. It's a very sad time.

Skipton eh?? thats where Im doing the odd shift! Must make a mental note to steer clear of the chicken at the pub... Your progress in the photos is fantastic, you should be very proud. Hows the transition going back to work? Im in awe of working Mums, i find it hard enough to organise myself.

Just thought I'd drop by again and answer your mango question. You need to cut them on either side of the stone in the middle, then u make the criss cross cuts and turn the sides inside out and the flesh comes out cubed. I hope this makes some sort of sense or someone else can explain it a bit better. who knows? maybe there is a website on cutting them up...

You are looking amazing!!!

Heehee I fit a 10 in most stores so you are not alone.

Glad you had a great birthday :)

Hey again! I remember Derri! we used to play netball there a verrrry long time ago. Im always a bit frightened of chicken at pubs BTW...

With regard to the blood and gore side of nursing, Im always ok when Im there and doing things - but I cant watch it on TV! Wierd... You could always go back and do your nursing now or later you know... Im sure you would be great!!!

Im 167cm tall by the way, I dont really care if I get down to 56kg or not - though now I've said it I probably will have to stick to it!! Hopefully once I have got my orthotics and I can start running again it will come off easily.

It is almost wine o'clock so Ill sign off!!
