Hi Lana its all go go go for you now. Now Leila can roll just watch out if you leave her on the change table or the bed, Kasey did the roll of the bed trick when I was changing her once and it scares the c*ap out of you and the baby too,there fast little buggers these days, it will go from rolling to sitting up to crawling climbing walking around the table and before you know it she'll be off out the door LOL, have a great weekend I hope the Dr stuff goes well and sorted out. Ciao Chez

Well it has been one busy week! We fly out on wednesday about 6am and will be extremely flat out for a few days unpacking etc. As far as my food goes - there has been alot of temptation and i must admit i have been a bit weak in that dept. Last night i went to Trav's sisters 30th and had way to much to drink - certainly wont be doing that again for a very long time. We have been extremely lucky to have been staying at Trav's parents house and they have loved looking after Leila.  Tomorrow i'm off to clean up the house and get it ready for some tennants - hopefully it wont take to long before being rented out.

Lelia has been very good and handling the moving about well. I thought she might be a bit unsettled having to sleep in a porta cot and not her bassinett but she has adapted smoothly. I still cant get over how lucky we have been to have such a good bubs. I think my tapping on the keyboard is waking her up so i must say night night and will write again as soon as we have a connection in Port Hedland.

Take it easy

Hey there Lana,
                       I hope the moving and unpacking is going well. Do you have an actual cot for Leila?? I found my youngest adapted very easily to her surroundings because during the day she slept in her cot and at night time she slept in her bassinette, I didn't do this with my first two and had trouble getting them to adjust to the change. 

Looking forward to seeing you back here with us!

I just realized I have not written in here for a few weeks, so i best get to it.

Everything is coming along pretty well since the move and Leila is now rolling onto her belly and onto back from belly - vice versa. She is also scooting herself about on her back - no great distances as of yet, thank gosh! 

I have managed to get back to my starting weight for the comp - or near abouts - 121.8kg. My weight balloned out to 124.8 a few weeks ago which peeved me a bit. But it's slowly coming back on track so thats good.  God help me over xmas day! I will be good though i have been planning it out in my head..lmao Instead of having everything i will only have a small taste of a few things.

The hardest bit is going to be the 18days at travs parents place - always alot of food put out. But i can get through it and i will tell his mum i'm dieting and i know she'll be considerate.

Drinking water is still a problem for me at the moment - the water here is gross so i have been buying it, all i have to do now is start drinking it. Have to think about including a bit more exercise aswell - small steps but i am slowly getting there and i feel i will make it this time!

Take care

p.s Oh i have worked out a little plan for myself - if i lose on average 500g per week i will be at my goal weight july 2009. Give or take a few kilos

Hi Lana,

July 2009 is very acheivable. It's funny I was just speaking with Kristie (TBL1) the other day about when I used to train female athletes. It was amazing how mentally strong they were if they'd had a child. Whereas, the childless one's were more prone to whining and complaining (I didn't say all!). I really think it helps put things into perspective and I believe it's such a demanding thing that once you've done that, pushing yourself during exercise is nothing!

I hope you find that too Lana!

welcome back lana im glad the move went smoothly for you! Stay focused and you can achieve your goals!

Hi Lana, My names Jo and I've just joined the forum here.  Congrats on getting over the move (Always one of the most stressful things we can do) and also for getting back into the rhythm of losing weight and reaching your goals.  I am also working on around 500g per week :-) it all adds up and if I can make my eating pattern fit me then I'm thinking I will be able to maintain my weight loss better.

 I also have a little one, Ethan, born 28th June 2007, now 5 months ish.  He was really upset last night and was running a fever that was going up and down quite rapidly so I was a bit nervous for a while.  Anyway, he eventually settled down again by about 5am.  Poor little tyke. 

Anyway, good luck this week and hear from you soon.

Jo :-)

I would agree that the 500g/week seems achievable.

 

The only problem with the plan is the strategy for setbacks (eg getting sick) or feasting type occasions such as Christmas.

 

Hope it goes well for you.

Glad to hear the move went well, and great to see a realistic aim!

Caution: Sarcastic and Cynical!!!

Yeah i thought about that aswell Don - sickness part i cant control but feasting i can. Christmas will be extremely hard as Trav's mum puts on a full spread...but my plan of attack is to eat sensible and have a little bit instead of huge amounts.

We are going to perth for 18days and they will be the hardest days - but i will be ok!

Trav has brought me a new polar thingy - not sure which one, At the moment i have been using an Oregon. I'm consuming roughly 1700cals and burning 300 in exercise each day. Since doing regular exercise i have noticed my weight go up slightly - i must be putting on a little bit of muscle.

Not sure if i mentioned how all my tests went for my ovaries - but i have tumour on my left and fuctional cysts on my right. I have to have another blood test to see if my left one is a progressive tumour. They give you an hcg blood test as if it is progressive my ovary will be producing this hormone - my last test come up with some but due to pregnancy they think it may be some hormone left over - even though i had the test in Nov and my baby in Aug - didn't realize the hormone stays in your body that long.

Having my test on monday - i have been putting it off due to the unknown fear i guess.

WM42 polar - trav just told me thats the one he got me. whooooooooo i pick it up tomorrow from the postoffice.

 
It's pretty hot everyday here so i have been making the most of the pool - although there is no shade over it so i cant use it untill about 5pm. The other day i jogged up and down my hallway - haha  Now i have the yucky chaffing - It truely sux when your thighs talk to eachother all the time

 Well i best get going for now; i think we are taking measurements tonight - wish we took them this morning. oh well

Take care, i'll try and report in before we leave for perth - if not i'll be back on the 2nd.

Hope everyone is doing really well and have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

Holy crapola' I just noticed I have not written since christmas...naughty me!

Well a little run down - I'm still getting my crap together mentally and physically. I have decided I need to really get bloody serious with the whole weightloss and have joined weight watchers - so now I really am accountable!  I have lost a little bit since having Leila but I think if I really put in the effort I would of lost alot more..alot more

I have also seeked help for my mental issues, to which has been ok untill today...was rudely spoken too this morning by a mental health worker who was ringing to change my appointment, which had already been done three times by other workers there!!!  Major case of miss communication between staff there and unfortunately I copped her rudeness this morning. I was so upset as I had only had an hours sleep and was trying to explain to her that someone had already rang about this and it was becoming frustrating - in the end I got so upset I told her that if this is what the mental health service was like then she could shove it up her...where the sun dont shine.

I was so emotional after that phone call, and having no sleep did not make my emotions any better.  Trav ened up calling to sort out  everything and she apologised.  

It has taken me a long time to get help and when this sort of thing happens it really makes me not want to bother; good thing I'm somewhat mentally stable.  Anyways, enough of that stuff.

 

As I mentioned I have joined Weight watchers and I attended my first meeting tuesday night. I was so nervous when I joined online which I have never really been nervous before, maybe its a good sign of great things to come!

Leila is over 9mths already and I can not get over how fast it has gone!! When everyone tells you to enjoy it because it goes fast, they are bloody right    I'm already planning her 1st birthday!

She starts daycare next week, only one day a week. I wanted her to go for the interaction with other children as she is mainly with just me and Travis, so I think it will be good for her.  Its funny, because I have worked in child care I'm actually worried about her going...lol... I just think of all the kiddies in their biting phases and think gosh I hope she doesn't get biten..oh the bullies that are in care    I know she'll be fine, but I will find the first few times hard.

 Travis's mum and dad are visiting for a couple of weeks; we are meeting up with them on friday and spending a few nights in Ausky so we can explore Karijini National Park with them.  This will be my second visit to the park - so beautiful there.  It'll be great exercise exploring all the gorges etc.

Well I best be off to have a cuppa and some down time as Leila is napping. Mummy time now

I will promise to come in and keep you updated with my WW's journey.
