Thank god its FRIDAY!!!

Yay! I love Fridays.

Wasn't feeling up to exercising this morning so did my shred workout this afternoon. I really need to change this however, because it's easier to stick to a morning routine than an afternoon one. Feeling pretty positive. Can't wait to slip into size 8 clothes again.

Day 2 and I'm forgetting the rules already.

I started off really well today. Got up at 5.30am and did shred workout. Followed it up with a shake. Had yoghurt and a carrot for morning tea. Lunch was another shake. Drank lots of water throughout the day. But then........


Scott wanted to take me out to sushi for dinner. We were halfway there when I remembered that I'm not supposed to have rice on the celebrity slim shakes diet. Whoops. Stuffed myself with sushi cause I felt really hungry and then paid for it with an uncomfortably full stomach.

At least I didn't have the icecream that Scott offered to buy me afterwards.

Ohh, just remembered. Also had a piece of homemade caramel slice that a lady brought into work. Only because she put it on my desk and walked away. So it would have been rude to not eat it.....wouldn't it.

Welcome to Hell.

I WANT TO EAT YUMMY, SCRUMMY, NAUGHTY FOODS!!!

Bloody hell. This is really hard.

Did really well yesterday and avoided beer and softdrink when Scott and I went to the surfclub and instead sipped water. I even ordered a Thai Beef Salad instead of the usual Chicken Parmi. Sigh!

I have started the 30 Day Shred....again.  The sweat was dripping off of me but I did feel better afterwards. Now I need to keep it up for the next 29 days.

I don't know what I'm going to do about the trip to Bundy. We are leaving Saturday morning and coming back Monday. Am thinking I could do the workout on Sat morning before we leave, just do some basic exercise on the Sunday and do another shred workout Monday night. We'll see.

Manicures and pedicures

I have been neglecting my hands and feet for a loooooong time.

When I was a teenager, I used to pride myself on my hands and feet and did DIY manis and pedis every Sunday.

Now that I am trying to makeover my image, what better (and cheap) way to give myself some pampering as I work on improving my looks.

The finished result...

Friends Wedding

A long time friend was married in Bundaberg. This is the second wedding that Scott and I have attended this year. Luckily, my big sis Trina was able to come along for the ride.

We started getting a little silly....

The bride and groom cutting the cake.....

A VERY large muffin cake at the wedding....

Even though it was a backyard wedding, they still used sweet touches for decorations.....

Awwww, another lovely couple :)

Since this wedding, Scott and I have put the deposit down on our own wedding venue, happy dance!!

Jillian Andrews - 30 Day Shred & my Summer Slim Down plan

I've been very erratic with exercise and eating. One day I'm doing a 30 day shred workout and eating well, and the next I'm skipping the workout and eating junk and downing cans of softdrink like there's no tomorrow.


But.........


After looking at some weight loss clips on youtube, I've become inspired and motivated again. So, tomorrow is the official start day of my Summer Slim Down!


I'm going to start with doing the 30 day shred (properly) and then move onto mixed workouts that change every two weeks. Along with eating a low-fat, low-sugar diet.


I would like to go from this.......

To this...............

....wouldn't mind the lovely, golden tan either.

Beer, old movies and the internet

Kicking back with a beer, watching an old movie and looking up crap on the internet.

Its Saturday night and most people my age (I'm guessing) are out socialising and having a good time.

Woops! I guess I missed the memo because I'm quite enjoying just hanging out with myself as company (fiance is in other room watching TV). But I do wonder if this is because I don't feel confident in getting all dressed up and going out or if I really just prefer to hang out at home.

Well, I guess once I am more confident with my appearance, and have the clothes to go out in, then I will find out if I prefer being a social butterfly or coach potato on a Saturday night.

I'll let you know.....
