Embarrassing car

On Saturday I got my hair done in the morning and stopped by the supermarket on the way home about 1:30pm. I was walking back to my car pushing the wonky trolley and clicking my car remote (I have keyless smart start on my Carolla). I even went to the door and pressed the button; nothing, zip. nada. So I decided to try the key button again. Still nothing. I was getting annoyed now as my trolley was at the back of my car and I was at the drivers side door. So I pulled my key apart and stuck the key into the hole. The car alarm went off; it kept going for at least 20 minutes whilst I swore and yelled at the car (I didn't know I had a car alarm... BLUSH). No one came to help me. One guy laughed as he was at the servo vacuuming his car. Finally somehow I got the alarm off. I ended up coming home late for the Tupperware party (people had stolen my car parking spot) and STILL had tonnes of groceries to unpack. Do you know how heavy groceries are to carry across from my house to my mother in laws. Why did I buy heavy stuff? After it was all packed away I settled in with a vodka lime and soda. I spent $218 on Tupperware, I'm having my party hopefully on the 2nd April as it is the next free date I have. I am hunting for a battery to put in my keys, I've stolen Greg's for this week.

What embarrassing thing happened to you on the weekend?

Fat to fit - slow and steady

 

Slowly the weight is coming off. I am eating better than I have ever before cutting out a lot more processed foods. I am now buying natural Greek yoghurt and chopping my own fruit up into it for morning tea. This week has been hectic so this post is not so involved this week.

This week I was going to talk about superfoods - I might edit it later!

Here is my  fitness diary for February

What are your wants? 

Mine is that the emergency services find and rescue more people in Christchurch New Zealand.

My thoughts and wishes for those people in New Zealand after the earthquake that they find their family and friends and that those trapped in Christchurch are rescued today. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Grandma love

This morning we were invited to breakfast with Greg's Grandma and all her other grandchildren. There are 7 grandchildren in total. Grandma got everyone around so she could make a speech. She then handed out a card to each grandchild and said you must all open this gift from me to you at once. I was told to take photos whilst this was happening. Let's just say we received money enough for us to do our kitchen and maybe the two remaining bathrooms. Grandma wants all the kids and partners to enjoy her money and to tell/show her what we did with it. She wants us to be able to afford to have the lifestyle as young adults that she wasn't able to have. Now she is pressuring us for kids and marriage.

Oh well enough excitement for one day, back to working on the house.

Military Chic - Weekend Shopping and wish list

As we are on the opposite end of the earth we are only starting to get our Autumn stuff in store now. So what's big this Autumn is MILITARY!

I have plenty of items already in my wardrobe that goes with this look. These are from pics are from BigW and Kmart catalogues.

I bought these skinny cargos and they are hot!

I love these boots but they were all sold out of the cream ones in the middle :(

I bought the purple Mambo T shirt it light weight and a pretty colour.

Aren't these cute! I totally want them. But I resisted.

I bought an orange and black singlet. I so can see myself in this look. I have everything to make it work!

You know that danoz direct ad about the TOBI Steamer. I dream about that ad. But I'm not spending that much. I really hate ironing; so to replace my iron I have bought a garment steamer. They were sold out at my local store so I bought it online. I can't wait to use it.

Fat to Fit - Weekly Overwiew

 

Over the past few weeks I have bee trying to loose the last 4kg I have gained over Christmas and the New Year. I think that my body hates the new Weight Watchers ProPoint System and is rebelling. Seriously. I am doing everything right! One week I ate all daily allowance and the exercise points earned, the next I ate all daily plus weekly allowance, I also have only eaten my daily allowance too. None of these combinations work but Weight Watchers says if you follow their plan exactly then you WILL loose up to 1kg a week. On the old plan yes I did. As I am on the minimum points allowance of 29 ProPoints I cannot reduce what I am consuming. I track, weigh and measure everything. I do lots of exercise to. I am stuck and don't know what more I can do I am 2kg over my Weight Watchers Goal and 3kg over my Personal Goal. I am not happy.
