Hi all
Am going to take a break from blogging for now... don't feel I have a lot to say that interests anyone these days and it sure isn't about weight loss that's for sure!
House still hasn't sold - only 5 people thru in 5 weeks so very quiet and very stressful.
So will take a break and will be back at some stage... might be a week, might be two, might even be a month or so... will see how I am feeling and how things are going.
Thanks xx

Morning all :)
Thought I would do a quick update before leaving for work since Rachel and I are both ready early for a change! :)
Managed a loss of 1.1 kilos this week though that has probably been aided by a V&D bug I had for 24hrs on Friday and Saturday so am still recovering from that! But I must admit that was one of the worst bugs I have had for a long time!!!
Here are a few recent photos of Rachel:

Another bad week weight wise... have offically pulled out of the 12 week challenge on the parenting forum as the graph was looking real bad for me! But am going to try to continue it on here - just didn't want all those other mums etc who I don't know that well seeing how badly I am doing!! Had another gain - this week it was 400gms! Not going to dwell on it - just move on and TRY to do better. One day I will get there.
Had another open home on Sunday - no one through this week but out of the 7 or so open homes our agent had - three of them had no one through so we don't feel to bad about it. These things take time (like Chris H knows too well)... and am sure the right buyer will come around sooner (rather than later).
We went up to Mum's during the open home to take her out for lunch to say a big thank you to her for helping me declutter and clean the house. We went to a lovely cafe around the corner from Mums and had a lovely lunch. Both Steph and Mum had the fish of the day while I had the specialty burger which was fantastic!
Work is full on as usual - didn't help matters being away sick on Friday so things just piled up for me! I do wonder about the "Team Work" motto we are supposed to have in our team at times! But never mind I am over that already... Have heard rumors that there may be a sole charge Payroll position coming up fairly locally so am keeping my eyes and ears open on that one as that would be fantastic!
Rachel is doing really well - 3 (maybe 4) teeth coming through so they are causing her a bit of discomfort. She learnt how to climb on the coffee table this evening while we were having tea!! She has been trying for some time but hadn't been able to get her leg right up - but tonight she succeeded and thought she was so funny doing it! I did finally take some photos of her at the weekend so now I just have to download them...
Am out tomorrow night at the Parents Center AGM - am not taking on any new positions as the Funding Officer role is more than sufficient for me at the moment. Then Steph has his rifle club AGM on Thursday so a busy week for us.
Anyway, time to go hang out the washing and then make Rachel's lunch - catch ya all later

Well week 4 of the challenge is over... and unfortunately another disappointing result with a gain of 600gms! :(
Not going to say much more rather than life sure is a bitch at times!
One step at a time... baby steps... but in a vicious circle of not having time/energy to do exercise... wanting to... but make excuses.... feel guilty and feel like crap.... know deep down that if I do exercise I will feel better and more energised... but don't have the energy... so feel guilty yet again... get the picture???
Had first open home yesterday - only 1 person through but it only does take 1 person to be interested and to buy it... but unfortunately for us it wasn't that person. Problem is that next door is on the market too and as a mortgagee sale - has a new kitchen and bathroom and an extra bedroom and will probably go for about $30K less than what we are asking. So until the auction next week - we just have to sit tight and plod on. As that one will probably go first so best we let that one take its course... We did have a nice time at Westfield for a couple of hours while the open home was on - nice family outing and Rachel was so well behaved :) Next Sunday, we are going up to Mums to take her out to lunch to say thanks for all the help she gave me cleaning and decluttering... the following Sunday we have a post wedding BBQ to go to.... then the following one is Easter Sunday and we may head to Masterton to my sisters.... fingers crossed it may be sold by then but am certainly not holding my breath.
Right, time I was in bed - better finish making Rachel's lunch and then head to bed. Have a good week everyone :)
