Brain's Checked out, may not come back.
So i've ignored this blog for a while now
Ended up making a Fitcoracy account, and also signed up for that million kilo challenge.
Not going to tell the team name, as it is 1) in finnish, and 2) meant for the forumites. Also it's naughty words. "fat fuckers" to be exact.
so... yeah.
Seriously you should join fitocracy. they've got mums groups, fun groups, weight loss groups... its done so you can get achievements and level up - theyve given it an rpg feel to it. so excersixe = a big game! it makes it a bit more fun though, which is good.

Happy New Year! Also Fitocracy
Happy new year and all that jazz!
Now, i'm a member of an internet community (regretsy.com) - most recently in the news because of the bullshit paypal pulled for our secret santa efforts - http://consumerist.com/2011/12/paypal-rains-on-regretsys-secret-santa-campaign-over-use-of-wrong-button.html For more info.
It's workout social networking mixed with RPG elements. You log your workouts into Fitocracy and earn achievements and experience points. You can join groups, enter contests, and track your fitness goals. (stolen shamelessly from rjoriginals on the forum.)
It's quite fun acutally - I logged a cycle to the shops and back, and was immediatley leveled up! I've also managed to complete a quest (do certain excersizes in a #days time frame.) and i've also gotten achievement badges, just for being friendly.
I'm acutally being motivated, which is amazing - i've been having a very meh time lately. nothing I want = no motivation.. just 'getting healthy' or 'losing weight' aren't motivation, it seems.
Inerested?
edit actually it looks like i've completed 3 quests, and 2 achievements!

It's official!
Im forgetful!
Nothing much has been happening, apart from getting a freezer yesterday.
Hopefully there'll be specials a the shops, so I can get lots of stuff to make for pre portioned meals.
Or something.
the other plan is to get 100000kg of bacon and stick it in there, to hav cold bacon baths.
been rather tired as of late, and still trying to excersise, but still cant do to much, ankle is STILL. FUCKING. HURTHING. and i can hurt it really easy too! walk into town? yup, its going to be caning later. dont stretch it enough before i get up in the morning? cant barely stand on it. i hate this ankle at the moment. it's not like I can just, not use it, you know? need to stand? need to walk? need to shove it up idiots asses? you need your foot, therefore ankle. >.<
havent got any further on the wedding front, really should get some emails going for enquiries etc.
i'll do it later. or something. I have super powers! too bad its procrastination.
OH do you remember me bitching to you guys about not having any NYE fireworks/activities in lonnie last year? well this year they do have fireworks and stuff!
...its $18 per adult to get in.
yeah.
WTF, launceston council!
the sooner i'm home the better. I miss you lot.
I think i'm on my not-rags at the moment, i'm a lot more high strung andmood-swingy than normal. Not-rags is a thing I have, in between actual ragtimes. I get mood swingy and achey and ragey all at once... for about a fortnight. oh and bloated, and have an insatiable craving for one of the following:
cheese
chocolate
icecream (especially in wither for some reason)
chips (hot/packet, it's all good.)
but only one per not-rag times. right now its cheese. yummy soft white cheese, like triple cream camembert or something. you know, sooo healthy lol.
havent got to the gym yet, saving pennies still. 250 each is a lot, for 3 months! that bike is looking better all the time.
will be starting the christmas gift making next week, so far on the menu:
shortbread.
Gingerbread.
possibly on the menu:
spiced/coated nuts.
window bikkies.
also, just because this is funny - the Ikea Directions for making Baby!

Just For You, Sis!
The post, anyway.
Has it really been a week since I posted last? More? Oops..
Been sticking to the points more or less religiously, had one day when we went fuckit and blew the budget,nut honestly, homemade fish and chips and squid in beer batter is worth it.
Haven't weighed in the last few days, mainly because I forget, have breaking and then go, nah, I've eaten so the results will be off.
So that's hopefully the thing I will be doing tomorrow, weighing my fat ass!
Been on a few walks into town and back, so that's about 5km there for the round trip, still thinking about getting a pushie, over going to the gym, I think I would use the bike quite a bit, I'm slack and don't want to walk everywhere anymore, a bike is faster, and frankly my ankle STILL hurts if it's over taxed. Bikes are a no impact form of excerseiz unless you fall off!
Honestly it would make the 3/4 hour walk into town take like ten minutes. That's including traffic. And probably about 20mins In the other direction to the other shopping centre, Ings Meadows, (which is also where the gym is) but that's just coz the road is windy and uphill most of the way.
The bikes I've looked at so far have ranged from 150 from Kmart, which was pretty basic, to 350 from the bike shop down the road, which, while it was the basic version of the series it belonged to, blew the Kmart cheapie out of the water, if nothing else but the fact it had better parts! And was a damn sight more comfy, plus came with 3 year free servicing on top of the warranty.
I know ive said that the roads around here are death traps beau of the councils wisdom on marking bike lanes on roads that really were barely wide enough for 2 lanes, but the people at the bike shop told me about a LOT of back roads and tracks, so everything looks a lot safer and easiewr now. I'll likely put it on lay buy, no matter where I go, I hate being broke. :(
Did I blabber on about how ive decided to get into doing my own tapestry designs and stuff? Well i have, and I've figured out, if not the fastest way to do it, the most versatile. Get a cheap projector form somewhere like cashies, shine the pic onto the tapestry, and paint/draw/etc onto the tapestry cloth like that. Fully customisable sizes that wa, too.
Of course, that has to be a 'sometime down the track' thing, because tapestry cloth goes for over 20 a meter, and projectors aren't cheap. Plus I need to come up with some designs first. And then test them. And then produce a few of each size... Then list them!
So it's a bit of work to start off with, but I hope that it'll end up happening. And if you know my sense of humour... Yeah. These ain't ones that grannies would be making, lol.
I'm thinking of my first one : a biggish one, bordered,with "vittu!" on it. Vittu is Finnish for fuck. ;). So from there, let you mind wander, and these will be my staple as such. Sure there'll be fantasy and other things, but off centre will be the good stuff. Top hat mustachioed octopi for example. Actually I already have a pic for that.. Hmm.
Oh, boots had his stitches out on Monday, he's all fixed finally! He's been SO good through all this, considering he's put up with a lot of pain and stays in the vets, poor bugger. OH if you ever see these, and have cat/ know someone with cat, get the natures own treats, I think they're called love bites or something like that? CAT CRACK I TELL YOU. Boots goes mental over these. Utterly batshit. Took him a few goes to get around the funky smell, but as soon as he ate one? He was begging like a dog, sitting straight up on his ass, mowing his voice box out. If you chuck em, he will chase them, swallow, and come back looking for more. Freak.
So.. Yeah. That's the news of the day, and I think I need to stop looking at the pad and get some sleep! Night!

Day 7: ..Oops...
So I burned the last of the soup to the pot by accident. fuck.
Anton and I decided to not cry over the dead soup, have a 'free day' of sorts, and start on the points from tomorrow on.
Yes, this means I had 'fried rice' for breakfast. All it was was cookedbrown rice, an egg that was dry scrambled, a 1/4 rasher of bacon (mmmmm...) and a tablespoon of sweet soy sauce.
I really need to go and do some shopping, LOL.
Whats sad, though, is that of the 200 shopping budget for the fortnight, i've only got 20 left. All i've bought is cleaning and hygeine (toilet paper, shampoo etc), crap... and veggies for the soup.
Dammit, I miss the uber cheapness of the spud shed, LOL!
Today, i'm sitting on 123.1kg i've gained .3kg since last weigh.
and Anton is up to 97.something, he gained 1.7kg since last weigh. I think it was thesultanas he ate, and the (admittedly like, 5) almonds.
i'm going to do one more weigh tomorrow, though i'll be expecting a gain, because our bodys will be all 'holy hell! food! OMNOMNOMNOM'
but then it'll be weekly weigh ins, and starting the points.
I get 27points, anton gets 30.
All in all though, I'm happy with how much i've lost over this week - 7kg? fuck yeah.
Anton has lost about 4-5kg, but then, he did cheat a bit. More than me, anyway.
The Wii fit is definetly coming in handy for weighing and stuff - it's the one constant thing, LOL and if we feel like i we can weigh the cat, or play games.
The tv really does need to be bigger/mounted ont eh wall or something. it hurts to look at the screen sometimes, you have to bend over to reallysee it. something will have to be done about that. even if it's just raising it or something.
It's smaller than your computer monitor, Cait.
Anyway, i'm off, to go and annoyBoots, who is 'stalking' a bird that's outside. he's sitting on my desk, on the inside of the house.

Day 6: Almost there!
Thank F*ck!
I am honestly sick and tired and uuugh.... and that goes for the soup too!
Today is red meat day, tomorrow isbrown rice day, then we'll be done and dusted.
I think today may end up being the hardest day for me - I feel physically sick when I think about having to eat that soup, and considerin I only ate 1 bowl of it yesterday probably has something to do with the fact I lost .4kg since the same time yesterday. Oh and I had a coke zero.
Anton did too,and he sitll lost 2.3kg, since same time yesterday. ass.
This means Anton is down to 95.5
and I'm at 122. 8
Which isnt bad for me, really - I was at 130ish when this started, so i've lost up to 7/8kg at this stage.
And I am noticing it - it's much easier for me to scratch my ass now! :P
I guess the aim for myself, for today and tomorrow, will be to eat at least 2 bowls of soup, if I can manage it, 3 or 4. This diet is working, as much as it is grating at my stubbornpower.
Cait/Leigh, if you read this, what was your worst days on this?
