Home Time

Hey All...

WELL what a day. I got a phone call from a Snr Sergeant of Caulfield Police station where I had applied for a job for Office Support! WELL i made the cut... I have been invited to join a selection panel to see if I get the job.. Apparently I made the top 8 of all the applications. Although he said mine was in the top 4. The panel is for Next friday being the 6th of Feb... DAM I can't go!!! So I rang Dad, who's handy in these situations, and I had suggested to fly down for the day then thought that's silly if I'm going to be coming back down a few days later!! SOOOO..

On Tuesday THIS week we are driving down.... Shaun is flying back to Toowoomba on Friday the 6th and will stay up here by himself til after the packing. He will then fly down on Wednesday the 11th (the day we would have been home) when we will then go into the new house. We will sign the lease and pick up the keys on the 5th, but I don't want to stay there alone with no furniture! SO we'll wait til Shaun gets back to do that!

So it's all happening!

Now we're just waiting to find Shaun some work, which is just waiting for the right role to come up!

Anyway Chat later

Guess What?

WE GOT IT!!!! WOO HOOOOOO

Not long to go!

Hey Guys

Well it's not long to go now. 15 days..... Very exciting!

Well It's been very very difficult these last few weeks. Since we are trying to get rid of all the food in the house it of course means I have to work with what I have. SOOO in saying that. i'm not weighing in again til we are in a house in Melb. In saying this it does not mean I'm going to go stupid. I'm still going to watch what I eat and chose the best option with what I can.

Apart from the days when the hosue is packed and we don't have a fridge then we need to get takeout, but I will not go stupid.

So I've got 3 - 4 weeks to lose some weight. I don't care if i only lose 100 grams it will still be better than putting on!

Well Mum and Dad went house hunting for us.. Thanks Guys! And we have put 2 applications on the properties. There is one I really really want so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

3.5 days left of work. It's gone so fast.

Did I tell you the Manager at an office down there wants to meet me? Thanks Anna!!! Thanks to my new Cyber Buddy Anna, I got the inside scoop that someoen was leaving an office down there and got my boss to ring the manager there. After a lengthy conversation the Manager sent me an email asking me to contact him when I get to Melb to meet with him and see if I can transfer. AWESOME. It's the same position too.

So we'll see.

Anyway have a great day. From what I hear it's rather warm in Melb... I hope it's like that when we get there. I love the heat, and Melb seems to have had more of it than QLD.

15 days til we're out of here... WOO HOO

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease.

3 weeks to GO!

Why Hello!!!

I actually forgot about you.. LOL sorry!

Well it's been a crazy week and I'm waiting for my brain to catch up and realise it's Saturday. Work has been a little crazy, we have had redundancies this week so everyone has been a little on edge, which is understandable.

So we only have 3 weeks left, thank god. I'm looking forward to coming home! Still searching for homes and jobs. I applied for a great job as Admin Support at Vic Police! I had to do key selection criteria which took me a few hours and I think it was pretty dam good even if I do say so myself! So hoping to hear from them.

OHHH, almost forgot, lost 500 grams this week. Which was great considering I struggled this week, not with food but my weight just went up and down since it was the end of my female month! This week so far is MUCH better, going well and watching the scales go in the right direction.

We have organised a cleaner for the vacate of this house. Getting Cleaning, Carpet and Pest done all by the same company. It's going to be expensive but we have organised for it to come out of the bond. I can't stay and do it myself. It would be too hard, trying to stay here with no furniture. So this way will be much better.

Anyway, best go do more searching.. Wish me luck

WI results

Well I put on 1.2 kg in the 3 weeks. Which after taking off round 3 in a week I'm not too concerned. I've weighed in now so onto a new week.

Right at the minute I have wind.. which is very annoying. I'm trying to talk to Job Seekers and trying to not burst in pain! NOT FUN.

I'm also trying to burp which is making me feel rather sick.

I had to put my phone in for repair. Stupid phone battery kept falling out! So that was put in yesterday, they said it could take 2-3 weeks I asked for an urgent on it as we are leaving so hopefully it won't be that long!

3 weeks today, til I finish here. I'm excited about coming home, but I don't want to leave here. But finishing here means that the move is happening, so I'm excited to finish at the same time... make sense???

CBA, when we get down there you and I will be each others motivation! So fret not.... And don't worry too much about the weight, just weigh in and get it over with. When's your day?

Anyway, best be off. Can't believe its Friday already... Can't believe tomorrow is already the 10th of Jan... CRAZY.

Talk soon

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease

oooh?

Hey Guys

Well tomorrow is D Day (ie. Weigh in) Over the last 3 weeks i had put on over 4kg. So badly infact one day i weighed in and I had undone EVERYTHING! well after I saw that it was straight to work and since then (Mon 29th Dec) I have taken off 3kg! So luckily I've worked my butt off to undo what I did! I couldn't help it, it was holidays, I was at home, and sitting in front of the telly is so hard. How do you not eat when you sit in front of it for long periods of time.??

So I got active! I cleaned, I did things around the house and it's worked. I have taken off pretty much what i put on..... So tomorrow I'll either break even, or put on just under 1kg. Which to me is just fine and dandy considering the amount I put on!

Well 35 more days til we come home. Yes I wanted to have lost more weight by then, but you know what? i can't change the past. I can focus on this year. I'm looking at this way... for every month I don't get preggers, I have another month to lose weight!

I've been great with my food over the last 2 weeks, I'm all of a sudden faced with the fact that we are going home and I'm no better than what i was! But knowing DAD. the fact that he'll see me more often will mean he'll be on my case more often which will mean I'll be more likely to do something!

I think I like pressure? The fact that my best school work was done when it was done late, and the fact that I'll work harder at losing weight when I know people who know me (family etc) will be able to see me more often and I can't escape! There will be no hiding for 6 months if I fall off track. I won't have anywhere to hide and therefore will have to live up to the job! So in one way I'm glad I'm doing it as I come home. It means I'll be on a roll when I'm down there, and when I see the folks every week or so they should see some differences! Exciting actually!

Well I finish at work on the 30th. The boss said it will actually work out better to finish earlier anyway, after asking me to stay longer and now telling me our origianl date is better in the end anyway!!!!! GEEZ.

I can't wait I'm way toooooo excited.

Anyway, Have a great rest of the week and I'll write quickly tomorrow.

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease

Happy New Years!!

Hey Guys

Happy New Year!

Well I've been soooo bad! LOL well I can't help it I'm on holidays. I've been sooo good this week though. I've almost lost half of what I put on, so working hard to get rid of it before Next Thursday WI (Weigh In).
I am leaving Curves, it's too expensive for something I could do at home. We've got the equipment! So I'm leaving that and I've drawn up an circuit plan at home.

5 mins on Bike to warm up
5 mins on X-Trainer
5 mins Boxing
5 mins on Bike
5 mins on Weights
5 mins on X-Trainer
5 mins on Boxing
5 mins on X-Trainer or Bike

= 40 mins. I figure if i do this each night it will go fast since it's 5 mins each activity!! ?? !!
So Im doing that and sticking to points and it seems to be working!

Well we have some news. Shaun informed me that he will be telling employers he can start work in Feb so instead of trying to change things at the last min if he does need to start then, we are going to come home early instead. Jobfind will have to do without me for 3 weeks. We are leaving 10th Feb and be home 11th. WOO HOO>..Very excited. 5 weeks and counting!

So I'll only have 4.5 weeks left at Jobfind! I don't want to leave but I just can't wait to get home!

Anyway got ppl coming over tonight so best be off. I'll be good I promise!!!!
