weigh in week 3
ok so its week three of round 2 and holy buggers my weight loss is slow, i got on and off the scales till i was happy that the weight didnt move lol, 11.1kg down, and im not happy that it has taken so freaking long, its time to step it up, harder workouts from now on and less hand to mouth, i will be really watching those calories and not a one over this week , and if i dont lose more i will be kicking my own ass.

suck it in baby and get that zip up...
Hello again, aren't you all lucky to get 2 posts from me in one day lol, i will have to do my weigh in post tomorrow too but that is then , and this is now. I have decided to join some of the other members of the 12wbt in a blogging challenge they have, chronically their journeys to fit into an item of clothing. I was seriosuly thinking of blogging me trying to get my ass into my very thin bath tub but i managed to finish that goal already yayyy, to clarify ,i have a spa and the bottom of the tub is still a narrow bathtub design, great for the kids but when i was bigger and lay down the air couldnt get through the jets because my ass and thighs were blocking it, and when i try to move a little to let some bubbles out , it either forced the water into a spout and sprayed it everywhere or it just made a raspberry farting sound as the air squeezed past my booty, then i had that awkward moment of kids asking why it looked like i had been in a battle with an octopuss and had sucker marks all over my butt.
I decided that i didnt really like spas anyway, its just not natural to have air sprayed at you at such high velicoty, it reminded me of the time i stood too close to an old person with gas.
I did however rejoice that i can actually fit now and if i wanted to have a spa i would be able to enjoy it..... I have 4 kids at home, there is no spa time for me.
So back to the challenge, i bought myself a new dress for my birthday, it was an XL , or so i thought, i have bought dresses from the company before and XL was always great, well i didn't count on the fact that it was UK sizing and XL to them is a 14 to us......oopsies. This meant i had the sweetest , floral dress and i could not wear it.... The sadness in my little heart was felt the world over. well i am determined to get my ass in that dress, or should i say breasts, it seems the mammaries are causing a calamity in my dress sizings. I will first say that i actually have the sewing skills to make the dress fit me beautifully this afternoon if i wanted but like my daughter Tatjahna said to me, "don't cheat mum".
Yes yes alright, the hard way it is, but im telling you all now, if this dress does not blooming do up properly by the time i get to my goal then im going to alter it with my trusty machine :) you have all been warned lol.
Below is a picture of me and my cute dress, first i will put a pic of what the dress should look like , as per the over thin model of prefection advertising the dress , then a picture of me trying to get the zip done up :)
i am in love with the clothing from this lovely store , who even does laybys, so say hi to Jade for me if you find something you love. for awesome dresses
somehow i just dont quite have the look for it yet but you watch me , i will make this dress look good one day, just you wait and see :)

Justin Standley , oh my how i have changed since i saw him last :)
Hi to my wonderful readers , today is a lovely rainy day here, just that light rain that makes it a want to snuggle in bed and read but will fall asleep after one page kind of rain.
today was the reopening of our major shopping center here in town that was damaged entirely during our australia day floods. I didnt want to go to see the store, i wanted to go to see my dearest friend Justing Standley perform at the opening, so i really couldnt tell you what shops are inside hinkler, i only stepped into the front doors to get a kebab, small with no onion and lots of lettuce, ( gotta watch those calories) and stepped back out to the pavillion where justin was singing. Now if you have been following my blogs there was a blog http://12wbt-getting-jiggly-with-it.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/over-did-it-now-i-have-injury-oopsies.html that explained how a woman had used a pic of my back view to have herself a laugh at my expence, this pic she used was at one of justins concerts, I was hoping to see the same lady there so i could introduce myself and ask her if she approved of what i was wearing today so i didnt end up the brunt of her bullying jokes again. i didnt see her, but i will watch out for pics of my rear end online though.
I may have just beaten her to it because i have lost 10.9 kg since i was at that last concert, and im now going to add some pics of today and last time, just for you to see.
I should be very proud of myself but im still a long way from happy about my size so i will save some of that pride till then, instead lets have a photo session as always.
Justin performing ,
yup thats me getting a big welcoming hug from a dear friend :)
These pics below show you the difference between me, on the left, in late october/november last year, and me , today :) still only a third of the way through but still working hard at it.

Im also going to add some preogression pics of THAT grey dress, so you can see how far i have come in a short time :)
the first was the one used to humiliate me in public , the second i took the day i saw the pic the woman used to laugh at me with , the third i took just an hopur ago to show you the stages i have changed.
Today i laughed and enjoyed myself and i didnt care at all that my ass might be photographed, in fact, i was bpouncing that baby to the music and daring anyone with a camera to have a shot at it cause Damina thinks its a hot ass and thats all i care about lol. im about to type up another post with a little something interesting that i want to share with you all so stay tuned:)

Holy want to curl up and go to sleep batman
Good day to you fine readers, what a lovely day it iszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, sorry i keep dozing off, I'm seriously tired. I didn't get to bed late, i was all set to read my kindle, i have 85 new books to read on it , i was sneaky and found the free kindle books on amazon, including some to read to the kids at night so i was rather excited, anyway i didn't get past 2 pages before falling asleep lol. Damian came over and i was probably drooling and snoring, or farting. goodness knows what and he snuggled in, this managed to wake me up and i didn't go to sleep for a short while later. So having a disturbed nights sleep didn't help when i awoke and it was overcast. i just want to go back to bed, why do i always have to get up and get the kids to school? probably cause I'm the only one there . doh!!
i get the half of my kids that are not sick off to school while doing my usual cleaning up after them and getting ready to do my workout when suddenly, rock and roll, my vertigo yells "oh you are awake , cool we can play" not fun, it felt like i was on a boat when i stood up, so i took something to help and kept trying with my workout. mum was saying i can see you are visibly stressed ,so we can do this Sunday, nope i had to get it done, i just said no its ok gotta try, it hasn't been fatal in 4 years so I'm not going to die from this. then i wobbled my way through my workout but holy sheesh i was tired, I just hope the kids germs have not tried to camp out in me as i will not be impressed. i have been walking around cleaning everything saying, "Catch it , bin it , kill it guys,"
lol paranoid much and the only thing that worries me is not being able to train. Before i would have been frantic thinking i would get sick and possibly die thanks to anxiety but now i am moreconcerned with losing strength and not being able to train. I pushed through my training even though there were moments i was thinking it would be easier to go to lay down. i got through it and even survived shopping at two different stores, i felt relieved to be home though and I'm fighting the urge to have a sleep lol.
I have so far completed 200 of my 300 push up challenge this week which is on top of the workouts we already have to do .
i will throw in the pic i took of myself as i was hurrying to the car to go shopping, I'm doing a flair stand lol, its simply me standing with one leg out and one hand pointing up lol look at me go.
until next time , take care and say hi to ya mum for me

week 2 weigh in , plus a late week one post,
Boy oh boy where has my week gone? i usually do a weekly weigh in blog then a weekend blog but i have had the busiest week ever, House inspection was today.... need i say more? This things drive me bloody crazy, i swear to you that one day I'm going to leave a whole bunch of sex toys sitting on my bedside dresser. they are such invasive things to have, i mean yes i can understand them needing to check in on a home but 3 monthly ? and so thorough it borders on privacy invasion , ugh it just rattles my bees it does. i was like a crazy woman making sure everything on my inspection list was done, even to the point of still mopping at 10 last night to make it all perfect. i even shaved my bikini line cause , damn you never know how thorough these real estate agents are going to be.
My biggest worry was my teenagers room, its always a bear cave in there, well I'm assuming it is cause all i ever get is a grunt or a growl if i enter. i find it easier to throw in some food then run in and grab what i need while shes munching on something. she assured me it was fine, why didn't i check for myself, my instincts warned me and sure enough the agent walks in there and the fan blades were dirty. WTF????? yes she took a picture and i knew that you can get form 11's for a dirty fan.... its so pathetic it is amusing. my mum was here for our daily workout and she heard this and says, that's alright i will fix that right this minute , and raced in and wiped it down, so it will be interesting to see what happens, the old house i rented before this one, i got a form 11 and thought what the shit is this for as I'm uber careful as a renter, and i mean careful. having kids and renting means I'm always on the look out almost to the point of paranoia. The form was for a dirty kitchen fan, but it wasn't even dirty it was a wipe mark from me cleaning it..... grrrrrr i had to fight hard for that as i knew it would be a mark against me for future rentals, how is that even allowed? I'm sorry your honor, yes it was me , the value of this house that i was paying over priced rent for was dropped by 50 thousand dollars because i left a smear mark on a fan during a routine house inspection, it has now been remedies your honor , i am just thankful the agent didn't look behind the poster in the hallway or under the mat in the lounge and don't even think about looking at the 2nd drawer down in my bedside dresser.
I know that these things are a must to keep check of due to many houses damaged by tenants that are just neglectful but sometimes it is just too much. So after that little rant, i spent alot of time this week making sure things were just right and a fan blew it all, its almost like the lady thought , oh my gawd if the fan is dirty , imagine the other gross negligent things this woman has done, i better check the toilet bowl for impurities if that be the case.
i must have burn hundreds of calories this week getting this all done , including mowing, raking and edge trimming , the old fashioned grass scissors way. So i was really thinking , yer i have to be in for a good loss this week, Last week i pulled a 400 gram loss, which was too small for my liking so i was really sure that this week i would finally get into the 91 bracket.... how did my weigh in go? ugh bloomin heck, i did the usual prep, got onto the scales and bom bom, only lost 500 grams, bringing me down to 92.1 and no matter how much i sucked my tummy in it stayed that weight. i am seriously going to have myself a massive celebration when i get to my 80's cause the 90's were bloody hard. ( should have seen my clothes in the 90's lol)
Last weekend i had no kiddies at all at home so it was really nice to just get in the car and go fishing. Went to the usual spot and not even much of a nibble so the next day we went to our old hunting grounds, sadly it isn't out really old grounds as the floods have wiped that spot completely away :( so the newer old spot had to do. This day i figured i would wear a skirt, and singlet top, the skirt was short but i thought well no one sees us in this spot and it was a lovely day my legs could get some sun on their pasty whiteness.
From the look of my ouchy pic i probably should not have underestimated the sun or the gale force winds that hit us when we got to the jetty . i was a little concerned with the skirt and wind combo and had to apologise to Damian for the flashing problem. He apparently didn't mind at all, wink wink. I , however was horrified that boaties kept coming back and forwards past the Marilyn Monroe show i had going on.
I did manage to catch a couple of fish though, that were released immediately as they were too small lol.
Damian caught the first little cod of the day, i soon showed him who wore the cod piece in this fishing trip lol, they both still were lucky enough that i wasn't interested in eating them so they went back.
It was nice to just relax this weekend and get some time together.
The last few days have been so busy with my training and cleaning, and even when i was so exhausted from all the work i had done i remembered the challenge that was set this week of 300 pushups on top of the ones we have to do in a workout.... what?????? how in the world, what was this woman thinking? Anyway. i was chatting to Connor while cooking dinner and realised i didn't do my 50 push ups for the day. so i stirred the dinner, then got my 50 done and got back to the dinner, he didn't even batter and eyelid lol, he just kept happily chatting and playing while i went from stirring dinner to push ups and back until i did my fifty.
so i am halfway through my 300 , yayy, i know i will get them done, but wow they make my shoulders all wanky. i will no doubt be having trouble raising my hands above my head for a while, so i have made sure not to have any appointments at banks, cause if i do and a robber bursts in yelling , " get your hands above your heads of you die" then I'm stuffed lol.
So house inspections done, fishing was taken care of, ahhh that's right, i wanted to tell you all about my mindfulness course i also went and had a gander at yesterday.
It was a really interesting course and i have decided to sign up for the 4 weeks one in August. Mindfullness is all about living in the now, not the past or the future,. As someone who suffers both anxiety and depression i have always lived in the past or future, both of which are not places i liked being if they were negative and usually my head found all the bad things and reminded me of them. Being mindful tackles those issues and teaches you how to stay focused on the now and not letting these thoughts and feeling stop my day, but instead I'm accepting they are a normal part of life and am letting them come along for the ride.
I even download Russ Harris's book the happy trap for my kindle and will be reading through it as i feel its got a lot it can teach me. I even went to www.thehappinesstrap.com.au and had a sticky beak. I was impressed with the information i received and will learn alot of coping strategies from here.
Being disorganised or having your mind be a mess can interfere with life's goals, so i found cleaning my house up more and organising my office space more., doing these courses and having the support i do has made my weight loss journey a lot easier. I love so much that Damian sees the strength i am using to achieve my goals and he is being so very loving and sweet with me, complimenting me and helping keep me on my journey. I love that my mum gets on her workout finery and comes over every day to sweat her ass off and get through the workouts with me and is actually enjoying it. I love how the new me is proud of her work and yet is still motivated to lose more.
i just wanted to share this last pic before leaving you to go and finish your chores. Kahlyssa had left her nutella at my place and i text her to say , whyyyyyyyyyy you leave your nutella at my house???

My birthday :)
well yesterday the 9th of May was my birthday, i turned 38 :) some may think that is getting old, and you may be right, but just because ypou are 8 doesnt mean you can pick on me, to the rest of the world 38 isnt too bad. I had a great day. My gifts were all thoughtful and loving, i was loving it. The evening before, kahlyssa called in and brought me flowers, :) nawww shes a sweety. Then she was at home bright and early to wish me a happy birthday and give me a present. My first gifts were make up and toiletries, which i love :) and also a red capsicum lol when kahlyssa was litle we used to jokingly wrap up food items, namesly garlic, onions, apples as gifts for a funny, so every year thats what we have usually done, so this years she sneakily added the capsicum which ironically i was thinking i better get some of this week for my recipes.
Then i had a shower and when i came out there was some sticky notes... telling me to look in all these different places, a treasure hunt if you will, woohoo i love trasure hunts... these led me to my wardrobe and i was told i had to find it, damn i knew i should have cleaned my wardrobe earlier, I found a large gift bag which was unusual and seemed like it had a brick wrapped up in it lol, it was in fact what i have been wanting for over a year .... a salt lamp for beside my bed :)
It even has a dimmer switch for romantic nights, or just so i dont have a blinding glow beside the bed at night, this first pic of my lamp wasnt the first pic i took, the one below it is, and i retook the pic for reasons you will see if you peek through the mirror , lol
i cannot wait for a chance to wear them, i actually wore the black one to lunch i had with mum yesterday.
It was late afternnon that i realised that i didnt even have a cake or some dark chocolate, i mean gee come on , i might be on 12wbt but i still love to cut cake and give it to others , then kahlyssa showed up and had a naughty mud calke and some lindt dark chocolate in mint intense, woohooo, i promise i didnt eat any cake....last night anyway and i only had a little of the choc.... then maybe a little more. ugh there goes treat meal saturday.
do you remember the white top i was sewing a few blogs back? well i wore it briefly yesterday too, testing it out with my fave black corset i must say i was a happy chappy
so all in all i had a lovely day and got some amazing gifts, my mummy gave me some awesome wash and soaps in my fave scent of tabu, and also some very cute leopard print cups for my yummy hot aktivite, and a sweet little speaker for my phone i was very happy indeedy do di day.
the below pic is of my little guy, him and his brother often hijack my phone , and you dont want to imagine the pics i have found on my phone.... note to self do not let the boys borrow my phone when they are adults
so thanks for reading and sharing my birthday with me, i thouroughly enjoyed unwrapping my number 7 meheheheh, oh and mum loved her heart rate monitor for early mothers day.. i will blog her first test on saturday :)
Then i had a shower and when i came out there was some sticky notes... telling me to look in all these different places, a treasure hunt if you will, woohoo i love trasure hunts... these led me to my wardrobe and i was told i had to find it, damn i knew i should have cleaned my wardrobe earlier, I found a large gift bag which was unusual and seemed like it had a brick wrapped up in it lol, it was in fact what i have been wanting for over a year .... a salt lamp for beside my bed :)

Dakotah lovingly gave me her card she made , gotta love my kids, she wrote, " To mum happy birthday we love you soooo muchforever and when the boys say they hate you they dont" nawww such sweet things she says
The next three pics are off the gorgeous Indian jewels that Damian bought me, he knows i have a massive sweet spot for bridal jewellery from india... im guessing once he decides to marry me i might not be so enamoured with it lol, a universal hint most likely. and he also gave me vouchers galore so i bought a beautiful book chest to store my jewells in , that i will be decorating myself .

Mothers day
I got my mum a fitbit for mothers day, her Hrm i ordered was not available yet so i got her the fitbit zip to tide her over till the HRM arrives. I myself am wishing for fitbit one but realise its too expensive so i will get it another time, well i got home and hid her gift, then i got too excited and later said , ok do you want it early? She of course said yes, damn her for not resisting and telling me to wait lol. We set it up and signed her in online , synced her fitbit zip and away we went, i later dropped mum off home and went about my daily chores. Later that evening mum messaged me saying she couldnt log in to fitbit online. I shall come to the rescue, i logged in and then got her to try again. I then asked her" so mum did you have a sleep today? " yes she tells me so i then said" at about 1pm?" By now i know mum would be looking around thinking what the shit? She gingerly said yes and i proceeded to tell her of the times she sat down. It was hilarious as she was messaging me wondering how i knew so i explained the graph i was looking at and then told her that while shes getting ne to check it , i didnt want to see and spikes in her activity at bed time or i will vomit lol each day i know mums making an effort with activity and thats awesome. Im so glad i got it now and cant wait to use mine to compete with her :)

Am i miss behaving ?
hi guys, this is the first day of the "free"week between round one and two of 12wbt, we were given an ebook with a weeks recipes , and exercise to keep us going till the 13th of May when round 2 starts. I have decided to try my own food for a few days at least, only due to low finances lol, but i hate weeks like that as i know it really is very easy for me to gain weight again. i am going to do my best to not end up with a gain at round 2 beginning. I will be royally pissed off with myself if i do and as usual i watched Mish's self sabotage video and then managed to sabotage anyway , tsk tsk tsk no wonder i had a gain. As my hormones start to level out a bit i am hoping to make up for the gain, and praying i don't have another gain. I have a day of clogging this Saturday and literally its all day clogging , i will be wearing my heart rate monitor to keep you all informed of my burn for the day. I told mum i had better take my walking stick with me just in case my vertigo tries to ruin my day. I will then have it to dance with to keep me balanced.
So this week i have also been a busy little bee rearranging my office/paint/sewing area, i rewrote my affirmations on some little clouds and stuck them all around my desk, i printed out pics of my family and stuck them around too , it now makes me feel really good to be in here, Its amazing what a good clean out will do... that reminds me , i might enquire about colonic cleansing.
I will go now and have some feet up time before tackling even more cleaning, I'm rather excited as its my birthday on the 9th of May, i don't usually get too excited about things like that but this year i am, as i am getting myself a few new key pieces of clothing to revamp my wardrobe. yipeee.
oh and i will be 38... oh boy I'm getting old. i have decided to not keep colouring my hair as much, i want to see what condition my natural hair colour is, , I will them probably hate all the greys and colour it later lol, but i thought i would try natural with a few highlights to blend the grey... we will see what happens.
I must go and email support again as i am still not getting any emails from Mish :( that makes me sad faced . Hope you have a great week and i will give you my weigh in stats on Wednesday. oh boy we all know that will be a gain again... whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

How are you ? , well i dont know why i am asking that really because i actually know, i saw a photo of you today, well i saw a few photos of you , You were not really smiling in any of them, you look miserable, you look lonely and like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, it is going to be ok, I promise i have got your back. I am not going to let you down any more.
I see your eyes in your photo and you look lost, you have so many worries inside you and i know they are real in your mind. You worry about your kids, and what will happen if you die, no wait, i remember you saying , "when "you die cause you didnt believe someone with your problems could live for very long. A little dramatic i think but with the way you were living , i am understanding of why you would think that.
You are not going to die, at least not by neglect any more, i know you will find your inner strength, i know you will find something deep inside you that will make you a fighter and want to be like those women you see getting stronger. I can hear you now wishing for a miracle , but you need to make that miracle happen, you need to do the hard yards yourself, you will not be alone, i will be there with you , im the one you hear deep inside you , cheering you on and reminding you every day that there are reasons you need to keep doing this.
I am the one who loves you more than you realise, its just that life tried to pull you down and you forgot.
i will hold your hand through this, and we will walk through the finish line together , and we will spend the rest of our lives getting stronger and living, yup i said it , Living. Hang in there, I will bewaiting :) xxoo your future self

Final weigh in for round 1
Im such an idiot, i knew i was sabotaging my final weigh in but this little voice kept saying " oh you will be fine don't worry" wrong wrong wrong ..... I am now majorly disappointed in myself as i gained 300 grans, making my final weigh in 93.1. Wtf was i thinking , i will do an updated before and after and post it later. Im going to have to work harder this round, i dont like this guilt feeling of letting myself down. I have lost a total of 45.5 cm's in body size so i should be proud but its not registering at all . I still see a fatty boombah and have a long way to go. Maybe by the end of next round i will be happier with results. I will post pics this afternoon but for now i will save this as a draft and see how i go later, might even do a vlog. ok so its a couple of days later and im finished my final fitness test and measurements i am going to type them up here for you to see . and i retook that before and after pic i did a couple weeks ago so i am going to post that too.
my week 1 stats were week 12
chest 120cm 111cm
waist 107cm 92.5cm
hips 130cm 116cm
l thigh 70cm 66cm
r thigh 69cm 67cm
l arm 34cm 34cm
r arm 36cm 34cm
my time trial went from 10.20 to do 1km to 5 mins 40 :) but holy crap i need to learn how to breathe during my running, it felt terrible and i know that i would have been able to up my pace if i knew how to control my breathing better.
so here is my pic, not that different from week ten but its an official 12 week body transformation before and after.
so my wee ones, i must go and rearrange some furniture now, i will figure out the vlog thing when the kids are at school on monday , i hope you all stay tuned doe round 2 :)
