I'm still here, somewhere.....



Yes i'm still alive. Sorry for not updating. Here's a summary of my life as it stands right now:


  • Weight - is increasing and increasing - not good but I don't have the time or the energy right now to worry about it. Currently sitting at about 76 kilos. Oops.

  • Home life - about the same, maybe a little more stressful than normal. Lots going on.

  • Work - ridiculously busy. Don't have time to scratch myself at the moment.

  • Smoking - still smoking - too stressed to give up (again).

  • Drinking - have been doing a fair bit of this. I didn't think I was drinking too much but I just came home with DS's Happy Meal, poured some scotch into the Happy Meal diet coke and drank it!

  • Billy Joel - bloody awesome - best concert i've ever seen (so far) and a great night. I could rave about it for hours and hours.

  • Wedding No. 1 - I bought a new dress at Target - I was in a rush and bought a size 16. It's awful - way too big and doesn't suit me at all.

  • Wedding No. 2 - is this Sunday. I've decided i'm wearing my black dress that I wore to my 40th - hope it still fits me. I'm sure i'll look pregnant in it (and before you ask NO i'm not!!)

  • Beautiful DS - is as cute as ever. Has come out with some absolute clanger sayings lately that have me rolling on the ground in fits of laughter. He's about the only thing that's keeping me sane right now.

  • Robbie - 3 weeks to go. I have finally booked our flights and semi-organised lunch with the gorgeous Kellee. We still don't have anywhere to stay. If anyone has a suggestion about somewhere close to Suncorp Stadium I would love to hear it.

  • Exercise - what is that??? Non-existant at the moment. I'm a fat cow. None of my clothes feel comfortable, I feel bloated, hot, old and tired and all I want to do is sit around eating junk food. Blah, blah, blah - i'm sure you've heard it here before.

So that's about it. I'm not sure when i'll be able to update again, but as the fabulous Emily said to me today, if you don't blog you don't get the supportive comments. So here I am!


Help me if you can.....


Before I go I just want to say a huge congratulations to my beautiful friend Michelle for competing in her first Triathlon (she's probably done three by now it's taken me so long to put this in writing). She sure kicked that Triathlon's butt!! Well done Michelle.


Ciao for now,


Bri

You sound a bit down in the dumps to me... I hope you find something that re-energizes you soon. And by the way, 76 kilos is NOT FAT!!

michelle said...

Do I need to remind you what 97kg felt like. You are not fat, just not as thin as you want to be. Sorry you are feeling bad. Wish I could coem and give you a hug.

Hmmm, guess I'd better leave you a supportive comment then, hadn't I!!!??

You asked for a butt-kicking, but I'm not going to give you one. You're having a bit of a dumb time lately - so many of us can relate to so many of the things you just listed, so trust me, we know exactly where you're coming from!

Now, give Robbie a kiss for me, and let us know what you'll be wearing on your hot date with him.

BTW, at least it was scotch and DIET coke, important to make these distinctions!!!

DON'T BE SO HARD ON YRSELF! You have come so far, and having a little hiatus might just be what you need at the moment with all the stress that you have in your life. Whatever works for you! THAT"S what is important... It's ALL ABOUT YOU! LOL

Seriously, tho, I missed you and glad you're back. Emily is right, you can't get our supportive comments if you don't let us know what's going on!

(((HUGS)))

Now why that after we have done our best to lose weight for our birthday - do we relax way to much afterwards!!
I have been the same - not motivated any more, and have also gained!
I think we really need something else to work towards!!
- although this would have to be the worst time of year to be on a diet!!

Well, I'm sitting here with an ENORMOUS G&T, intending to get mullocked before sundown, so I don't get to preach about anything!

Dont be talking yourself down girl. There are enough people in this world that will do that behind your back. You need to concentrate on yourself and the positives. Then they will shine through and the negatives will be but a speck of dust!

Have fun at the wedding this weekend. Fingers crossed the stuff in your life sorts it self out soon so you can feel good again!
