Only 300gm down but at least its a loss and I have had a really bad food week. Not normal bad prior to meeting Kate but bad for being on a diet. So could have been better but it makes for 2kg in 2 weeks. Happy with that.

I scrapped and...
I like it! Actually I am VERY happy with this LO. Love the pic by Clair. Also love the MM Noteworthy paper range. Might even sub this one, but not sure if thats a horse I want to get back on or not...
In brief, we went to hobart for a night with Mum and Aran. Jamie was down there doing a festival. Got to see him a couple of times. Went to look at a tent and still came home without one. It was fun. Want to go back with them.

Happy Birthday Miss Bethany
We love you so much honey. You are just a delight. You have changed our lives and brought so much happiness into our family. You are a ball of energy though have really settled in the last year. You love to have fun...

not the best pic but its her!
I was inspired by Mel Goodsell to post thing that I love about her, the number of which correlate to the current birthday... so here goes.
1. I love your beautiful eyes. Seems odd to start with such a superficial thing, but your big blue eyes are so expressive and just light up my day.
2. I just love your sense of fun. You live to have fun. May it never leave you.
3. The way you care for your sister just warms my heart. Not for one minute have you not wanted her in our life. You accepted her from the first minute you met her and have loved her with all your heart ever since. You can't wait for her to wake up in the morning. I hope you always appreciate the blessing of a sister, may you always be each others best friend.
4. I love that you love me. As a baby you weren't cuddly, just didn't have the time. Now you have plenty of time to show your love to me.
Love you so much baby. You'll always be my baby. Much to your disgust LOL

A big day...
yep its been a big one. Started at around 6am with a very excited birthday girl waking us up and absolutely delighted with her cake, balloon and presents. The face was lovely and the "its what I wanted comments" came too! Gotta love that!
Was a bit of a downer for us early (just me and J) - work issues with a particular person got me very very upset and then her main present - a Leapster L-Max didn't work. So I had to do a rushed trip in to town to replace - and of course none to be found, so I got the last Leapster in town which has been a big hit.
She has done really well for a 4 year old. We gave her aforementioned Leapster, a singing Barbie which has been long coveted by her lol, a sleeping bag and a cute dress. Mia gave her the Bindi DVD which is great for dancing. She also got - a Coles Myer voucher from BIL and family, colouring books, stickers and $40 from MIL, tap shoes from my parents (too small to her disgust so another trip to town tomorrow to swap them) plus a voucher for the Ballet Shop which we will get a bag for her tap shoes, plus a cute little ballerina figurine from Aran. So thats a pretty good haul, when you consider there are other presents such as Barbie things, paints etc that have come from her little friends. So she's been pretty happy with it all.
She desperately wanted an aeroplane cake - and of course I have no pics do I - forgot to take my camera! But I will have one later of part of the cake. The aeroplane had a little dome full of smarties on top, and THAT is the reason for wanting the cake! Funny girl, she is such a lolly fiend. She ate so many at her little party today, she's lucky she copes OK with them.
So she had a little party at Judy's cause they were at day care for the day so that was nice and easy, having said that, i hardly sat down all day. Between party food, getting ready for BBQ and all the other stuff, I'm exhausted.
{TSC}
TSC is doing well atm. It's been an interesting ride the last 12 months as things have changed. We lost some big contracts but have got these two massive festivals coming up - one on Saturday and then one on Feb 16. It's pretty stressful, more so for Jamie. There is a lot of people hoping we fail which really sucks, but understandable! We won't though! Hehe. Its been a difficult time, dealing with people what we can't fully trust and who are out to make their profit and who cares about the rest. Come the end of the day I am just hoping our profit is OK.
We have a new book keeper starting tomorrow. The office is just in a mess and I feel very out of control, but i know this new one is going to be far far better and so in the long run a very good thing.
{Tennis}
the Australian Open is on - and talk about some good tennis. There have been some fabulous matches in the rounds, hopefully it continues.
Yes I'm rambling... very very tired
I was actually going to post about Bethany's birth, we really my feelings around it. But honestly I'm too tired.

Four tomorrow...
where has my baby gone? This time four years ago I was freaking out about going in to be induced, knowing that i was putting my body in for something it wasn't ready for. But no regrets of that choice.
She's an awesome girl. Love her to bits. She's funny and mostly caring! She just wants to have fun all the time, she lives for the fun times!!
{kate}
is doing well! Been challenging and I have cheated but feast on this!!! Well done to me!

So its official....
I love bread :) Actually I love carbs :( I find myself missing food to chew in my mouth. Which is odd, because I am still having fruit, vegies and meat - so its not like I am on a totally liquid diet. And i admit to cheating :) and I know that I am the only one who is going to pay for the cheating, it will just be a slower process. But I have to tell ya, that piece of Kinder Bueno I had last night was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. And I wolfed it down like I had never seen chocolate before. And today i once piece of crust off Bethany's sandwich and the consistency in my mouth was yummo! Sad but true. Anyhoo, the promise of tonight is keeping me going!!!
Today is our 11th wedding anniversary! Happy anniversary to us! 11 years wow! Who woulda thunk it! Love ya Jamie. Must finish his card while he's away hehe.
On that note better go.
Went to the bike centre today for a play. We are blessed with some great friends, a couple of lovely early presents for B. Just a nice group of people and somewhat different mix to the usual. Very nice.
Can't believe my girl is four next week! :o

Weight Loss
It was an ongoing thing last year, I did manage to shift a few kilos and got down to pre pregnancy weight. Still more to go. Motivation is lacking so i know i need to do something fairly strict to get my body shifting the fat again. Sooooooooo today i have started on the Kate Morgan programme :o I'm still not sure why, do I see this as an easy way? Dunno, I sure don't see it as a long term answer which I know is what is needed. I don't really believe in these sorts of diets as the answer to long term weight loss and maintenance of that weight loss. So it is kinda confusing to me as to why I am doing this. I am really only looking at this as short term, 6 weeks or so I think. Actually probably my birthday at the end of March.
