The girls took me out for a last hurrah as I started IVF sunday....and a good thing that is , its either that or rehab!!!!!! Ate myself silly and drank the bar dry...shameful really. Well I am back on the diet and still doing all the gym stuff so lets see what happens.

Joined a gym with a friend on Sunday, have been every day since doing aerobics classes, weights and aqua aerobics...have had no treats and if i don't lose a kilo next week I'll be drinking carrot juice all week!!!!!!!michellefieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694622120592103399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084509125240326895.post-11672083244693416602009-02-16T23:56:00.000-08:002009-02-16T23:58:30.878-08:00Week 5.....groan!Well, very disappointed to find at weigh in the morning I have not lost any weight this week or gained---a complete non event!!!! I guess that means i really have to up the ante on the exercise and be just a little more committed on the food front, oh well...back to the grind.michellefieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694622120592103399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084509125240326895.post-687124580617582022009-02-10T01:03:00.000-08:002009-02-10T01:09:09.788-08:00Week 466 kilos on the nose!!!!!!! I'm finding it easier now that I'm allowing myself the occassional splurge otherwise I just would not be able to maintain this! I have to watch my water intake I'm not drinking enough and the exercise has fallen off slightly due to work but am off for a bike ride in am before work!!!<div><br /></div><div>Really sombre mood around town due to the tragic bush fires, everyone is taking up donations for the appeal, we've had fires with property loss but thankfully no deaths...the temps have been high 30's to low 40's for 2 weeks now, the garden is completely dead as we are not allowed to hose, lost all my herbs and the grass is yellow...will take some pics. I work out in the middle of the bush and all you could see as far as the eye was smoke everywhere and the smell of ash,gross!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Really praying for rain, especially in Victoria....</div>michellefieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694622120592103399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084509125240326895.post-9284054513687483822009-02-06T00:05:00.000-08:002009-02-06T01:08:36.125-08:00Antique Hunting<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5TN7yqBjs7pYkINek9UH8YSVYsXWAYiekpH2OBmrPk1JQmTtsZ3bfiwTZmscmlnnsyngum499B3GaT9hqYfaHfIXGnALw8_DlTp1AfXu5LPo1do5ajak8A8k-rDQZPh-J8GkPcw091qI/s1600-h/IMG_5035.JPG">Thought I'd upload some pics of my recent purchases!!!

The interview itself wasn't too bad, my boss was one of the panel and she was as usual just soooo nice...it's not everyone that can say they really love their boss!! Just after I walked out of the interview I bit into a lollie to reward myself that the whole thing was over and my crown fell out of my mouth!!! Emergency call to the dentist, booked in for tomorrow to cement in the permanent one, unbelievable! i was just thinking over the years I have had some teeth disasters at the most inappropriate times- like splitting a tooth in half in the middle of labour!!! I am not even going to look for the symbolism here!!<div><br /></div><div>Stu and i are looking at a lovely house to buy but need some advice on building reno repairs so we will wait until we hear about that on Friday. Oh and received a gorgeous card from meliss and Ivan today with some gorgeous pics of Corey...he is a real cutey, I can see both mum and dad in him!!!

I think the world is getting faster and faster, spiralling upwards in a mad rush. Our first day of Spring was superb, couldn't have wished for a a more perfect day. However today it has not stopped raining for longer than 5 mins.... This always makes me slightly nervous after being flooded out last year, so every now and then I sneek a peek out of my bedroom window to make sure I can still see the road!!!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Well I have been super busy with my new on line art course... will upload some pics soon. I have been actually quite ill for the last week so have been hibernating indoors.. perfect weather for it really! Dad has just finished his 4th course of chemo and is really sick, the last 2 courses have been terrible for him. After his scan on wed we'll know whether or not the chemo is to continue or not... the day after dad's birthday so I am hoping it is good news for him and the rest of us.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have a new love- well besides my hubby of course!! Its paint!! Yep I have been going mad spending all my pay on all these fab art supplies and trying them out on paper, wood and canvas so stay tuned!! I'm getting right in to folk art... check out the pic!!</div>michellefieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694622120592103399noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084509125240326895.post-35209712582971926152008-07-04T02:14:00.000-07:002008-11-06T17:57:15.041-08:00Oh July!

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. However life has been rather busy.... working full time teachingis not a walk in the park-I love it but man the hours of prep is pure madness!! I'm sure it will get easier though. Dad starts chemo soon so that will be another season- he's not real keen as he puts it and can't say I blame him! Stu is flying off to see his folks and bro in South Africa next week so I will have to update this for him if no one else!!!</div>michellefieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694622120592103399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084509125240326895.post-1417658929815324672008-04-11T03:24:00.000-07:002008-11-06T17:57:15.240-08:00Art Swap for PraireWillow<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG5OnWAfYI1GDbZDWBvI4SHzrmLVjxBKKSiI-9dJ0O-ijsD0z2k1bZz3XcpwIbsHG7e2sdJ1VZ7rzaFGkg0dfkkNfui1qZ3NdFkCTl4e-nP_sbTl_6rAk99AtW-9t8to_tudZYECtF628/s1600-h/IMG_4428.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187931974694978418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG5OnWAfYI1GDbZDWBvI4SHzrmLVjxBKKSiI-9dJ0O-ijsD0z2k1bZz3XcpwIbsHG7e2sdJ1VZ7rzaFGkg0dfkkNfui1qZ3NdFkCTl4e-nP_sbTl_6rAk99AtW-9t8to_tudZYECtF628/s320/IMG_4428.jpg" border="0" /></a> Well its finished!!
