Guess What.... STILL BLOODY HOT

So I'm bitching about the weather again... today will be 40 degrees. We are close to breaking the Australian record for a heatwave... and there is talk of a cool change coming in Wed next week... thats 6 days away!!!! Not coping very well - and especially having another 5 or 6 days of 39 or 38 degree weather.. Thank God I have airconditioning. I much prefer cold weather at least you can put more clothes on to warm up.

So trip to Sydney was quick and to the point. I hate taking off in a plane. The rest I can cope with, but taking off messes me up. I love window seats, and managed to have one both on the way and on the way back. It was amazing the difference in the landscapes from SA to NSW. We are so dry here, and brown, and of course bloody hot. And NSW gets greener and greener the closer you got to Sydney.

We were picked up at the airport by the CEO of the company we were visiting, and then WELCOME to Sydney traffic. We had a 1hr45min drive to get to the Southern Highlands, and it was and absolutely BEAUTIFUl drive once we got out of the city. Everything was so GREEN!!! In contrast to SA it was all so lush. When we got the factory, and they had green grass, and all I wanted to do was roll around in it and enjoy it!!!

Meetings were good....except they didn't understand the concept of wanting to drink water... so even though I asked a few times, I only ended up with one small cup of water. We got a factory tour which was really interesting, and then it was time to make the 1.5hour drive back to the airport. And again I was salivating over the green country side.

Luckily we had access to the Qantas lounges, so we got free coffee, and free food which was good cause we didn't manage any time for lunch with our customer. Then it was back on a plane and back to Adelaide.

For some reason we did a big loop around Adelaide which was great cause I managed to find work and my bosses house, but I was sitting on the wrong side of the plane to see my house. And then we were on the ground and the trip was done. Best thing - I get paid for a 12 hour day!! You beauty.

Volleyball - I got there for the last 20mins. We lost. And didn't play the second game cause it was too hot, and the team we were meant to play were too good, and we would have lost. Dinner at a cafe, desset on the way home, took the boy to work at 11pm, and then I fell into bed at 11:30... having completed a 17.5 hour day.

It was a long one, but worth while. Now I'm back at work... but thank god its Thursday!!!

This is so crap

Day number 9, of temperatures above 35 degrees. And its not letting up any time soon.... the forecast for the rest of the week is 38,39,39,38.... and then who knows.

Luckily for me I'm off to Sydney tomorrow for the day, and I'll be able to get out of the heat for a while. Its gonna be a long day though, flying out at 7am, then landing back in Adelaide at 6pm, then straight off to volleyball for 2 matches in a row. Yep, tomorrow is gonna be a busy one.

Today is just normal work, then I'm going to brave the heat and go to the gym.... I'll do the pep class then see how I feel about doing anything else. I can see the scales going back over 100 this week... I had a bad weekend.

I just can't get my shit together to lose weight. Not sure why, but just can't get it happening. Will have to assess this further.

Sunny Sunday

Ok, this hot weather is getting beyond a joke. This is the 7th day of above 35 degrees... and in fact, we are heading for a top of 40 today...... Thank god we have air conditioning. Its autum, why the hell are we going through a heatwave... oh thats right - global warming has fucked everything up.

Anyhoo, so today not much will be happening. I didn't even go for my walk yesterday cause it was so hot. Didn't go to the gym, cause the room that holds the classes isn't airconditioned properly, and I didn't feel like fainting. So all in all its gonna be a quiet weekend. A bit of packing, and a bit of housework - but I think mainly I'll be studying - I've got to get a 300 word assignment completed by the 20th, so I might as well so it today.

Bring on the rain god damn it!!!!!!!!! And the rest of the week is predicted above 35 degrees, with 39 for Saturday. FUCK!!!! Can't stand the heat.... mostly cause the gym is not airconditioned properly,and I can't go without feeling like crap, and wanting to faint.

Public holiday tomorrow... goin to work for a few hours, then back home to do not much at all.

Off to Sydney for the day on Wed to visit a customer, so should be an interesting day.

YAY FRIDAY

Finally Friday. It seems like its been a really long week. I've only been to the gym once (Mon), and played volleyball Wed, ate out 3 nights in a row, and had a night of boredom eating last night.

Tonight (if I get through the day OK) I'm planning on going to Pump, and then 20mins on a spin bike. The yummy stirfry for dinner.

Our mortgage docs are all sign, so in 2 weeks we will own a home, and owe the bank shitloads of $$$. But its all good. I'm looking forwrad to being able to paint - and pull out the awful geraniums out of the front garden.

Small walk tomorrow, and a catch up with my friend, then off to see mum and dad, and then the afternoon will be spent packing and doing a budget. Sunday is study day, and Monday is a public holiday here, but I'll probably go to work for a few hours to get some extra $$.

Have a good one!

And the magic number is....

99.9..... yes, I am UNDER the dreaded 100kg mark. A few weeks ago I was over 100, but today, 100 flashed up then disappeared, and I was left with 99.9kg.

So this gives me something to work with.

And I'm sure as hell going to work my butt off to try to make it back to 95kg in 4 weeks.

Then its all downhill from there.... well thats the plan anyways!!!

SO TIRED....

Last night I went a bit NUTSO at the gym. I did my 5:30 spin class for 30mins... and I worked HARD. Then because my favourite instructor was teaching the step class... I stayed for a 45min step class, and ALSO worked hard. Then I was ready to head home and the super cute spin instructor was hassling me to do his kickboxing class... so like a sucker I decided to do that for an hour. Afterwards I felt FUCKED!!!!! I never do 3 classes in a row... so it was a major achievement for me. I liked the kickboxing, and absolutely kicked the shit out the bag, and when it came to the kneeing part, I kneed it so hard that I kept pushing the chick holding the bag back a few steps.

So today I'm feeling a little sore. Hamstrings are killing me from cleaning on the weekend, and I didn't sleep well.... I was having odd dreams about the cute instructor... :)

So tonight is a rest night - going out for dinner with my best mate, and probably a 30min walk. Tomorrow night I'm hoping to be able to get the a Step class, but we gotta sign our mortgage doco's, so I might not make it. If not, then running around at volleyball will just have to do.

I think extra coffee's will be the go today... I'm feeling rather buggered. AND I had quite a good food day yesterday.... the worst thing I had was 4 x Lite bickies, a handful of snakatas, and a small bowl of lite icecream.... so better than what I would normally do!!!

So another good day on the way - and only a tomato based pasta for tea tonight. I'm trying to follow CORE principals from WW, so we'll see how things go.

3 weeks to go!!

Only 3 weeks till Easter, and that means moving house!! HOORAY!! We had open inspection in our rental today, and 8 people came through in half an hour to check out the place... so hopefully, one of them will be suitable to move in here after we go. It sux we are breaking our lease, but I would much rather be living in my own home that living in someone elses.

So today was spent cleaning the house, and then packing this arvo.... Half my kitchen is packed... the other half will happen next weekend.

The whole weight loss thing is just non existant at the moment. Its not the lack of exercise - I'm doing heaps of that. Its just the inability to say no to the food that goes into my mouth...

So I'm GOING to have a good week, and get back on track - and weigh myself on Wed, cause I have this feeling I'm hit the 100 mark, and that scares the crap outa me.

So almost time to take the boy to work and then home to Bed - and up early for another week in the hell hole.... well kinda. Uni start tomorrow aswell... so 13 weeks full of studying, and doing research and doing assignments... Its gonna be a big 3 months.
