30th June - We got them

Lounge dining of our apartment

Thats right we actually got tickets - Im so excited! Although I have so much on coming up that I am not that excited about Britney yet! It will come though as it gets closer, at this stage Im excited about the netball on Monday! Haha.

So the weightloss is REALLY on now.

There is less than 8 weeks to go for Pink - I just HAVE to be under 80, I have to be.

Ugh, on the massive save money thing too - Im a bit nervous about it all now but I should be fine just got to keep saving saving saving! I REALLY want a Wii - looks like thats going to have to wait now huh!

We just booked our acommodation - Im so excited the place looks amazing the girls will love it! Its a 3bdm apartment in the heart of Sufers Paradise - bring it on! The website is http://www.chevrontowers.com.au/

29th June - The day is here

UK's biggest loser - amazing eh!

Whooooho tickets come out today - do you really think we will get them?

Just got a text from Chontelle saying she only wants to go to Brisbane so if we miss out on Brisbane then she doesnt want me to get her Sydney tickets. I dont think I'll go to Sydney either, because Kirst wont be there either so it just doesnt feel as exciting to me to go there. But thats ok.

I am SO excited - the Pulse won their first game last night, after nearly 2 years they have finally won. They have had SO many close games going into extra time, losing by 1 so many times - your heart just had to go out to them, then finally last night they won - its funny because the team they won actually are the current champions because they won last year! They are having a terrible year and are coming second to last! Its weird how that could happen eh. Every one was just so rapt for the Pulse, even the New Zealand coach had tears in her eyes in the crowd. The coach and team just went crazy so did the commentators they were crying as well! It was just amazing. Im so happy for them. God there would have been one hell of a big party in their camp last night!

The Magic also won - the first team in nearly 2 years to win in Australia, so thats wicked to break that voodo to!

I said to Dean yesterday morning that today is a day of changes that the Magic will win, and I'm going to call a long shot and say that the Pulse was going to get their first win today too. If I was a betting lady - I would have won a lot of money!

Finally back on track with eating, had breakfast today and totally focussed on getting that 900gms, I think I can do it - but only just because I have been pretty bad!

Will let you know how I get on with the tickets!

28th June - Feeling ugh

Some of our um view?

Oh yeah the rugby

Yep feeling ugh again, stupid AF is here and Ive been a bit naughty on the food side of things. I havent over eaten at all, just ate a few of the wrong things -and feeling it today!

Last night the rugby was awesome, yeah the game wasnt the best, but hell our seats where the best - what a view...photos to come! Haha.

Mum came over yesterday and helped me with Duffy with the cat door - and today she has finally got it, shes now going in and out it like theres no tomorrow haha. I'll put the kitty litter outside on Monday and hopefully start getting her to go outside - god I cant wait to get rid of the awful kitty litter - not only is it disgusting but it costs a fortune.

One more sleep to go - Im excited but not as excited as I thought I would be for some reason? Maybe because Pink is closer so Im thinking about that, maybe I feel bad for Dean, maybe Im worried about money, maybe I have it in my head that we wont get tickets - maybe its a mixture of all of them.

Really need to get back into eating well tomorrow, Ive fallen off the bandwagon, not big time - but enough to annoy me.

27th June - Maria

Its been 7 years since my best friend past away, still quite hard to believe really. I went and saw her at the grave - but I hate going there. I just remember seeing her looking so peacefull in her coffin the day before her funeral, then the next day getting lowered into the ground, I just cant get the image out of my head when they lowered her into the ground - thats why I hate going there. But it was good to go, her headstone does look great and her parents always have her plot looking nice - but I still hate going and I feel I dont have to go there to remember her or think about her. Feeling a bit down about it, AF has just arrived which makes it worse, but I just need to think of the good times because there was a hell of a lot of those!

We lost netball - again. I dont know what is happening to our team this year, every game we come out like we are asleep then do a full 360 in the last half and play like we should! But today was the opposite came out firing - then nothing. Its getting really dissapointing! Were kind of having a season like the Swifts!

Anyway moving on, going to the rugby tonight cant wait! Its going to be so damn cold but it will be worth it. Im definately taking my camera!

2 sleeps to go!

(Photo to come)

26th June - Weigh in day

Whooooho Im rapt! 1.5kg loss! That is 3.7kgs in 2 weeks!

Bring it on!

Last nights meet and greet actually went really well, some really nice people there - BUT I had to have a glass of orange juice and 2 of these yummy cranksy things they were small - but really bad for you I bet. I didnt have anything else though which Im rapt about.

Although - I got home and Dean had ordered pizza because we had a free voucher, thats ok though I only had one peice and one peice of garlic bread so I was pretty happy about that too.

Beef stirfry for tea tonight yum!

I think AF is on her way ugh, but hopefully it means that next week I would have gone down even more!

Netball was cancelled in the end last night the other team pulled out. Which was so annoying but I was kind of glad since it was such a late game. Although it means less exercise for the week which is a pain, I really need to go do shuttles tonight and practice my goals, hopefully this rain stays away though!

So all in all it hasnt be the greatest week because Ive done hardly any exercise and eaten a couple of things I shouldnt have - BUT I am still really proud of myself because that is still a good loss and I have been so good in so many other ways like eating breakfast and lunch etc every day! And treat wise I only had a few bad things ALL week - normally it was 3 or so treats A DAY!!!

Going to the All Blacks game tomorrow night, Im quite excited should be lots of fun! Hopefully the weather is nice though, would suck if it was pouring down as were in the Tui Stand! Front row though! Im guttered that Richard Kahui isnt playing though - he is so hot!

So bring on the weekend!

Weightloss chart updated:

25th June *update* - Another photo cause I can

That photo below of Dean and I is so much worse than this one!

25th June - Dress up party!

Dad's 60th birthday - 60's style

ARGH, I have a dress up bustrip to go on next week - I dont do dressups lol. It is TV/Movie star theme. I was thinking Sarah from Shortland Street and just wearing my normal clothes and a white doctor jacket if I could find one! Or maybe hire a Pink Ladies jacket? Im on a budget so want to do it as cheap as possible!

Dean's not coming on the bustrip because thats when hes friend is over from Australia, thats ok though, because I know heaps of other girls going and my friend Lisa is going by herself and she lives in Belfast too - so it works out perfectly.

Soooooo what am I going to wear?!

Other than that Im feeling good, really looking forward to weigh in tomorrow actually which is kind of weird for me!

Ive got a stupid meet and greet type night tonight for work, I HATE going but once Im there it is totally fine, anyone ever have that - dont want to go somewhere but once your there it really isnt that bad? Its a bit like reffing for netball - its such a pain when its your turn but once your actually doing it its not that bad.

Then after that I have to race to netball, we have a 8.45 game - I hate hate hate with a pashion 8.45 games. But its got to be done so I have to suck it up and just do it. Got to collect everyones subs etc tonight too - so its a double pain in the butt night for netball!

BUT Im excited about weigh in and its only 4 more sleeps till Britney! Im starting to think that maybe just maybe we might get tickets...

24th June - Skincare starts NOW

I wanted to show my skin "before"

So I feel good, all back on track etc. Was sneaky and jumped on the scales today and I have gone down so Im pleased. So bring on Friday weigh day. Im dying to hear that people can see a difference so hopefully soon people start noticing.

REALLY need to get the water intake back up though - any ideas there?

Breakfast is still going well which is great because that is one thing I have struggled with in the past!

Man how cold is it today?! Its freezing! Ive got netball training tonight, I really need to work extra hard because since I only had half a game on Saturday and no netball yesterday my exercise has pretty much been non existant this week! At least Ive got training tonight and a game tomorrow. Actually I think I rememebr someone saying that we actually have a game tonight as part of our training - hope so!

I started a new face care routine today, Im cleansing, toning, moisterising twice a day - which is HUGE for me, Im normally a once a day moisterer girl and she'll be right type thing. But I have really noticed my skin going down hill so I really want to sort it out. Got to be looking my best for Australia!

Can you believe that in 9 weeks time today it will all be over, I will just about be on the plain to come home - great.

5 more sleeps until Britney tickets come out, seriously how am I going to cope if I dont get them? I think I'll die lol.

23rd June - Back on track

So today was a pretty good day, I knew Mum and Dad where coming around for tea and that I wanted dessert so I saved points and pretty much starved all day - but I got my dessert lol and boy was it nice!

Feel that I really need to pick up my water intake again, really slacked off there.

I have dropped Tuesday night netball now too, I know I shouldnt be dropping exercise but with my sore shoulder it was getting a bit hard all this netball - and plus it costs $16 for a Tuesday and I REALLY need that money for Britney!

Ive got a few things on Trademe at the moment so hopefully they sell which will go into my savings fund - I am doing SO well I really am so proud of myself!

Look at these 2 photos taken today - I reckon its all in the way you stand too, the second photo looks DISGUSTING! Well they both do but I reckon the 2nd one looks worse.

22nd June - Feeling ugh

Ok so I feel like crap today.

Just one day of bad food has done it! I feel bloated and yuck. Actually just thinking I think Im due my period in a few days that probably has something to do with it too. This month was the first month that I didnt take down when I got AF for some reason! Damn it!

So I had to weigh myself today to see if I did any damage - I didnt think it would have because I wasnt that bad but you never know I guess!

So I weighed and I was the same as Friday 87.8, thats fine - but god I need to work hard then during the week to crack my goal of 900gms a week!

On a positive note I hardly spent ANYTHING in the weekend whoop whoop! So Ive just hit the $1000 mark for my savings for Australia this year whoooho!

I feel crap, I really do bloated and sore and just crap. So thought Id put one of my favourite pictures at the moment up of Dean and Duffy, shes such a beautiful wee cat! She likes to sleep under the covers with us, its SO cute! Dean loves her, hes absolutly smitten its just so cute! He is absolutly 110% attached to her, he was with Tyson too, but not like this, he picks Duffy up, goes and talks to her all the time, calls her etc - its just so gorgeous!

Thinking of showing Mum and Kirst this blog too, although I dont want to many people to know about it I think Mum would find it quite interesting.

Right just heard my toast pop so Im off to eat breakfast - yah go me!

21st June - Tylers Birthday

Tyler and I at Akaroa Christmas 2008

So my baby nephew is 8 today, where did that time go! We had afternoon tea at Mum and Dads house - so not good for my weightloss challenge.

Dean went and got us suvalarkis for lunch (surprised me) and because he doesnt know Im on this weightloss challenge I couldnt not eat it now could I lol.

So went out to Mum and Dads about 1.30ish and had afternoon tea about 3 - I was proud of myself I didnt eat to much at all! I would have normally gone mental - but I seriously didnt. I still ate a little bit so I wont pretend Im an angel but I harldy ate any which is great!

Although - I must admit we had pizza for tea. BUT I only had one small peice and 2 small peices of garlic bread - which isnt to bad really.

So that was the weekend really, definately not the best but could have been a hell of a lot worse.

20th June - Concussed

Netball final 5 years ago around 85kgs

Yep you read right, I got concussed at netball today. A non contact sport. Ok Im maybe dramatising it a bit, but I did get a slight concusion - worst part was that it was in then first minute of the game - great.

So only ended up playing 20 minutes of netball which sucked. I was VERY wondery and just basically didnt have a clue what was going on!

Was good all day eating wise which was good!

Went to Mum and Dads for tea though - and had dessert - I had to it was my favourite chocolate self saucing pudding. I LOVE it. But it wasnt as nice as usual though - but did you think that stopped me - no.

I took my wireless modem to Mum and Dad's and Evette and I had our laptops there. I dropped Tim and Dean to the boxing after tea and went back and we got Kirst on MSN. It was so much fun because we put on Evette's webcam and Kirst had hers on so we talked on it for free! It was SO much fun. Pool Boy (PB - Kirsts husband) was sooooo funny, he kept coming in with his shirt off! Hes all muscley now after doing workouts etc so hes loving the attention eh Kirst. And WOW Kirst my cousin looks fantastic. She says shes only lost 7kgs but I think it would be more than that. She looks sooooo good. Kind of gave me a big kick up the butt really because the second to last time she saw me Id lost quite a bit then the next time she saw me I was heavier, so the NEXT time she sees me - I want it to be the smallest Ive been in a LONG time, which would be the 70's mark. I CAN and WILL do it.

19th June *update* I look pregnant

Terrible terrible terrible photos but hey at least its going right?!

19th June - Weigh in day

Whoop whoop so happy right now! I was 87.8 this morning - so have lost 2.2kgs in my first week. I am rapt. Absolutly rapt. So 9 weeks to go and I want to be in the 70's so I have 7.9kgs to go - that is about 900gms a week, I KNOW I can do that if I put my mind to it - and at the moment my mind is sooo focussed its not funny!

Had a crap game of netball last night, we got dicked! But it was a good run around I guess and thats the main thing at the moment!

How cold is today?! Its freezing! I dont have anything on after work today so Ive got my gym gear with me and I'm going to go down to the netball courts after work do some shuttle runs and practice my shots - I told you it really is scary how dedicated I am!

Hi to Megs and E! You guys are the only ones that know about this blog and my weightloss - I really am trying to keep it a secret as am quite embarrassed how last year I lost 15kgs and then put back on 7!

So bring on the weekend, have got home made pizzas for tea tonight and Saturday night a roast at Mums yum! So should be good healthy wise and budget wise!

Weightloss chart updated:
12th June - 90kgs
19th June - 87.8kgs - Loss 2.2kgs - Total loss 2.2kgs

18th June *update* - Booked!

My 19th birthday bustrip!

Eeek have just booked my flights for Pink - Im SO excited but also feel a bit bad for Dean - I am getting 2 trips to Australia this year and hes getting none!

Im sure he will be fine though, Im only away for 2 nights!

18th June - Exciting news

Im SUPER lucky and going to Pink AND Britney in Australia. Pink is in August and Britney is in 23 weeks. I cant wait. My cousins husband got her 2 tickets to Pink (her and I talked about going WELL before Britney came out but then couldnt get tickets) anyway Pink has realised yet another concert! And he got tickets whoop! Anyway it doesnt really bother him if he goes or not so shes asked me if I want to go over and stay with them etc, its great - one problem though is that the weekend before we are in Auckland so I cant go over until the Monday - (I know what jetsetters) so it means I will only have 2 nights there - but thats ok Im going to PINK!

So I guess this will make me feel better if I do miss out on going to Britney - which of course Im not going to miss out on.

Cant believe Dean has let me! Because were suppose to be saving hard for a section at the moment! Bless him!

So just over 9 weeks to go - do you think I could lose 10kgs and hit that golden mark of the 70's?! Even if it is 79.9 I wouldnt care!

17th June - Hump Day

Mum and I when the got back from Rarotonga

Well now I have made the decision with my husband of course to put off having a baby until after Britney. I dont want to be pregnant in Australia with the girls - I want to be having a great time and partying it up with them. Its only another 5 months so not to long...is it?! Nah I can do this.

Im feeling really good, really confident and have already gone down on the scales since the dreaded 90kgs mark that I hit on Friday. I am going to try and not weigh myself again until Friday though and will then let you know how I got on - whoevers reading this.

I actually feel really confident which is weird - kind of like how I felt when I started last time - long may it continue!

Breakfast has been my hugest challenge - but this time touch wood it hasnt been to bad. I am MAKING sure I have it every day - this morning was a bit of a mish, but I forced it down. So I think that is helping heaps.

Im also on a HUGE budget so I think that is helping things to. Im saving for Britney - god imagine if we dont get Britney tickets I will be devestated. Will I be able to keep up the weightloss if I dont go to Britney? I dont even want to think about that because we ARE going to Britney god damn it!

My cousin is on the huge weightloss wagon too, shes doing fantastic Im so proud of her. Its funny last year I was doing really well and she was finding it hard, now this year shes doing really well and Im finding it hard! So Im also trying really hard so that when I see her she can see how hard I have worked to - oh and how fantastic I look lol.

12 sleeps to go until tickets come on sale - SURELY I'll get some?! Please!

So this is the most recent photo it was taken last week. I look semi ok weight wise - but I have the camera fooled because Im behind the kitchen bench haha.

15th June - New motivation

I have the biggest motivation now - I am going to Britney Spears with 5 other friends who are all stunning and have the best figures ever. I am so not going to be the big fatty boombar in the group.

Thats it - I am SO never eating crap before the 24th November lol.

23 weeks today to go!

These are some of the girls Im going with...get my drift!

12th June - The day I hit 90...

Ok so here I am Friday morning getting ready for the weekend - and had this brainy idea of jumping on the scales - holy crap, when did I suddenly get back up to 90kgs?

Last year at my biggest I was 97.7 - this year at my smallest I was 82.4 so needless to say I was pretty dissapointed with myself!

Thats ok am on the band wagon again!
