| 3154 | I'm in on the 10kg. I have forbidden the Easter bunny to come near me, sent the baking off to scattered kids and just have to wrestle with the wine! Am just about to attack the wilderness outside so that should be good for me and have resolved to start walking everyday no matter how horrible the weather.

| 3156 | would you believe a change of diet and walking is all I did to lose my weight. and in time I found myself getting more active. Now I need to go back to the gym when I have the funds and tone up. jcprotea - 2011-04-22 10:32:00 |
| 3157 | Yeah is has been a week from hell for me too,had to have sleeping pills to get me to sleep,and yeah I ate everything in sight,too keep my hands busy,last night at work,I ate heaps of Easter eggs,but today I have been a good girl,and are back on my gluten free diet.
Stress makes me eat.
Motorbo,I had a feeling a new job would come up and the other one would cause you stress,good luck, a good move.
I am unable to walk on cold days,due to asthma,and some days I can not exercise due to wheezing,doctor thought it would be a good idea,if I went to the gym or did some swimming for my breathing.
Yep but it is money after being off work for so long,and I am saving to go to Christchurch on the train,something to look forward to in June,yep Charlie to meet my new granddaugher. |

| 3163 | Parents never bought me Easter eggs and I wish I knew why, not that I've missed out - i still managed to grow quite large without the help! I like the marshmellow ones rather than chocolate, and while the icing ones look pretty they are a disappointing experience to eat. sumstyle - 2011-04-22 13:53:00 |
| 3164 | I have made a small change by decreasing my chocolate intake at the moment, as from last Monday. Still having a milo if I need it I would like to be on the wagon as well Exercise is a bit difficult due to my knee injury. Have to change my eating habits as I find i am going with out food for too long if i get busy and which causes me to over eat. Cos I have been this size for a while I don't seem to recognise the hunger signs I had, when I was a smaller size if that makes sense. One exercise I am doing is a knee exercise but I don't think that I could be taken as weight loss exercise. after watching that program one hopefully it has shocked me into finding more motivation. The woman was just a bit youger than me and had biological age of a woman in her 80s. got me thinking about what my biological age was probaby 100. LOL and hides with embaressment. 510 - 2011-04-22 16:28:00 |
| 3165 | I could with marshmallow eggs Elliehen because I'm not keen on them but chocolate has been calling me lately. Usually I'm quite good at rationing but have been sadly lacking in willpower of late - particularly in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. My best effort was a week or two ago when my son came into our room in the morning and said "who cut themselves in the night - there's quite a bit of blood on the bathroom floor?". We both looked blank then he said "well who has a bandaid they didn't have yesterday because there are bandaid wrappers on the vanity?". Yep me - and I have no memory of it at all, but there was a cheesy knife in the sink as well. Turns out I am a sleep-eater and a really messy one too! I've spent years moaning about the boys eating and leaving dishes in the night so they are never going to let me live that one down. greerg - 2011-04-22 16:47:00 |

| 3168 | JC - you amazing woman - well done! I picked up a NZ book about weightloss in Paper Plus (top of their bestsellers, but I can't remember the title). The one sentence I read that resonated with me was about how we keep promises we make to other people, but are less likely to keep those we make to ourselves. This week a friend helped me sort out some really crappy stuff from my past that was still mucking up my life - it feels like I have put down a very heavy load, colours are more vivid than they were, and I keep smiling seemingly for no reason, and I found myself dancing to (of all things) "the Baby Elephant Walk" . It's fantastic and a bit scary at the same time. calista - 2011-04-22 18:10:00 |

What Pam was refering to was 'The Secret.'
It's a little book about the power of positive thinking & the effect on your life it can have when you not only wish for the things you want, but in your minds eye, see them already happening. (Like a marathan runner seeing/hearing/feeling themselves winning the race before they start)
It sounds simple but it's not always so easy ... self-doubt, negativity & fear creep in and sometimes we jepodise our own chances without realising.
When I moved to Chch last year I needed a flat in the CBD so I could walk to my classes & work and I needed a job with hours that would fit around my class times ... and that's exactly what I got.
I didn't know the earthquakes were going to happen & I've struggled at times since then but I still believe in the principles & am working on regathering my focus & what direction I want from here. winnie231 - 2011-04-23 06:34:00 |
| 3181 | Other than that, hi everyone and happy easter.
I met miss 14 off the plane last night & she's with me for a week.
I almost didn't recognise her!!! She's growing up fast!
Tomorrow we're off to Dunedin for 2 days ... going to meet a young man who came into my life 22 years ago but who I haven't seen since then - her half brother!
We have all been communicating through facebook for a while now and are all looking forward to this next step. It's going to be a pretty amazing & memorable easter for us!
Happy days :) Edited by winnie231 at 6:43 am, Sat 23 Apr winnie231 - 2011-04-23 06:42:00 |
| 3182 | Hey winnie is it too nosey to ask where your flat was? I had seen your posts when you were looking at different options in town, and some of them I thought I recognised. Yesterday me and the dog tried to do one of our "normal" weekend walks based near Cramner Square but I decided not to stop as the neighbourhood (buildings And people) all still looked too fragile to have visitors casually wandering past the chaos. Such a shame for some of those funky old buildings that had been made into apartments. Edited by sumstyle at 8:11 am, Sat 23 Apr sumstyle - 2011-04-23 08:11:00 |

Also see a little girl here about 10,maybe 8,not sure on age,but she is a deep thinker,and very smart,she is going to go a long way in life,also who goes to the gym or walks for exercise.
Also see you cooking up things in a hurry and love to have friends around.
Who also is having trouble at school that needs extra help,it may not be now but later,is teachers interview coming up?
Just know you are doing great and do not push yourself too hard,as you are an awesome,mum,friend ect. |

Predinzone has put on most of my weight as you build up fluid and you get the munchies,but it is coming off.
I went shopping this morning,it was good as I got a park,but when I came out there were people everywhere,bumper to bumper.
I was going to go into town,but decided not to,just got the weekly shopping done,and went to the warehouse,it was the first time in ages,I didn,t have a panic attack,going to stay on my gluten free diet,as my ceoliac disease is sooo much better today,I have a clear head,lol lol |

Just know you are doing great and do not push yourself too hard,as you are an awesome,mum,friend ect. You are so correct on your analysis of me. I mean I am usually a bit skeptical or wary of clairvoyants but I do believe they can see a whole other level/plain. Here is a breakdown of what you said: yes Never enough time. I feel very swamped all the time and I am always on the go with studies and running around with kids/running my household. Yes I am very shy, hard to believe but I do pull away from a lot of people.
I have three kids and I do do the school/daycare drop off. I have a couple of close friends but due to being rejected in past I get very full of doubt with myself that I am not good enough.
Home improvements I am unsure of as we are making lists of renovations we are wanting to do but I was hoping to have it more refined on a personal level. That is where I am undecided.
yes I am in the last semester of my degree and essays are due in and getting marked at present. I always think I can do better, hence the self doubt thing again.
I have 2 daughters 8.5 and 7. The eldest is a thinker and is compassionate, whilst the youngest is my academic. So could be either. Both like to walk with me to get their brother and run errands, youngest likes ballet.
I am always cooking things in a hurry i.e baking and the likes for friends. Food is my creative outlet at present. Youngest daughter is unsettled at school so could be her. my Friend from Brazil is also having issue with his studies so could be that too?
I do push myself hard and take on too much I think so I am trying to find that balance. I always do try to be a good Mum and friend to all even though sometimes I do not feel like it. Hope that gives you a better understanding of your analysis. Edited by jcprotea at 3:56 pm, Sat 23 Apr jcprotea - 2011-04-23 15:54:00 |

I also feel there is another baby as I see 4 children,really don,t want to mention too much.
Just let me know how far I can go,or you can get my email if you want.
Do you have motorbo email? also you are loved,your husband loves you,don,t forget it. lol lol,I do see you at a crossroad,but don,t throw away something good. |
