Tatty Head

Bee coz I...had an ace time snorkeling today I had to spend 10 mins conditioning my hair, I looked like someone had placed a mop on my head!!

Most of the Christmas eating is over and I'm back to running and today had a bit of a snork. I am thinking I will be doing some making up for being naughty when I get back to Melb. I'll be happy with a 2kg gain or less as I can knock that off in two weeks of boot camp!

Things I have eaten that have been well off the food pyramid or at the pointy top at best:

Salted peanuts
Christmas plumb pudding
Small sausage roll
Rum and raisin ice cream
Cheese cake
Crisps
Alcohol

Everything else has been ok ish but too much of it.

I have walked everyday except Xmas day so maybe that will help!!

Fingers crossed bee x x

Natures way

Bee coz I....am out on a walk, well actually I'm currently sitting by what little water is left in a lagoon when the tide is out, I happened upon a nest. I'm not sure what bird it belongs to I suspect it's a seagulls nest.

I find beauty and comfort in nature and when I need cheering up and go looking for it it never fails me.

A very crazy christmas

Bee coz I...had christmas in Tassie with mine and Billy's family it was a crazy Christmas, all the usual things this year prezzies, Christmas hats booze and too much food!

One of the many best parts of the day was when we went to my brothers and spent the last part of Christmas belting it out on singstar until we barely had any voices left.

It was a great Christmas day really! Just missing my nephew who is in Queensland with his mum, I bet he had a good time playing with Miss T.

We will see him soon for another mini Christmas :)

A crazy family holiday

Bee coz I...carried, jiggled and wiggled little Maxi Moo for the best part of three hours at the airport in a baby carrier i have discovered a new way to tone my butt muscles, who knew it would be a good enough work out to feel it in my abs and butt two days later!!! I must do it more often :)

Ps not doing a food diary over crimbo I'm giving myself a few days off!

I know it's been a week again!

Bee coz I....am hols in 4 days I promise that will change!

Well the very silly season has hit, doing my best to balance things out between Christmas cheer and healthy living. Eg eating and drinking a few naughty things but doing lots and lots of exercise to make up for it.

Work Christmas party was the best I had way to much to drink and was talked in to singing in public (karaoke) I don't think I have done a public performance since I came to live in Australia 25 years ago and my work mate and I did a few, we even made everyone wave their arms to Robbie Williams Angels - boy were we merry!!!

The night ended with me putting myself on the bus home at 9.16pm (last bus for the night) and having to get off at Miss Jorja's for a Wee stop (literally) and a lift the rest of the way home!

I thought I might have my first ever hangover but no all was good in the world so I got my eyebrows done and hair done at the hairdressers - thanks Linda, best value hairdresser in the world!!! She even blow dried my hair strait for me!!!

With a hairdoo like that I just had to go out again but just for dinner and a movie! Saw the inbetweeners - so very wrong but so funny!!!

Well that's it only 3 more sleeps till the real silly season begins for me x x

Bye for now Bee

B:cereal
Lunch: chicken and salad buttie but I did pretend in my head that it had bacon on it!
Dinner: grilled chicken burger and 5 chips
Drink: lime and kiwi slushy - pretended that it was midori.

Silly season!

Bee coz I....am crazy busy with the silly season, work and squeezing in exercise it has been hard to blog!

I usually blog in bed but because I'm so busy I just fall asleep when my head hits the pillow!

Had a great weekend with a 10th birthday party followed by a 50th and best of all Jorja and I got a walk and paddle in before the rains hit!

This week things should slow down a bit in work I just need some good weather to dry all the washing in time to pack for the Christmas holidays!

Have a good day bee x x

Sunday
B: smoked rainbow trout on toast
L: crackers and hummus with mango smoothly (mango and lowfat milk with 1/2 banana to thicken it up)
D: ham and salad wrap

Stacking the weight on!

Bee coz I...decided to make my Lake walk a little harder this week I added 15kg's to my back in the form of Jorja.

Boy did I feel it going up those hills, it was a great workout especially when she would lean from side to side shifting the weight quickly so I had to counter balance - good muscle work!!!

Saw a black snake on the nature walk and I jumped back fast when I saw it as it was very close. I think I will have to stick to the big track until summer is over. It's not worth the risk!!!

I've been eating well with only the odd little treat and I know from last week I am back to where I was before getting sick but I am now not going to weigh myself until Christmas.

Good news is that I now fit in to two new pair of pants that I didn't fit into when I bought them - that's a good sign.

Well another busy week in work but things slow down then x

Night night Bee

B:fruit nuts and muesli
L: smoked river trout on toast with a yoghurt

Treat: stole one little cheese square off Jorja :)
