Aww! Just came home to find this hanging from my door handle. The other doors on my floor have the same.
14Day 70/70: Final day of week 10 weigh in:
Down a total of 8.1kg for the 10 weeks.
I was dropping roughly a kilo per week until the end of November, when there were too many parties breaking the diet. I only dropped 400g last week.Most importantly, my running pace has improved. I managed my first 10km in under 50 minutes for the first time since my accident. More than dropping weight, this was the main purpose of the diet.
I'll try not to go too crazy with the food over the next few days, I don't want to put 8kg back on. 😃
10Chores and shopping done. Hopefully now the only reason to go outside in the next week is to enjoy the sun and/or eat myself silly with others.
8I stopped on the way to Anglesea at the Waurn Ponds plaza because I remembered they had a shirt I wanted in stock at their Target. Got a park 1 spot away from the entrance immediately. Bought 2 shirts without waiting in any lines. Walked right up to Donut King and got 2 cinnamon donuts, no line. Drove to Anglesea and got a park immediately in front of the shops.
Even got a free surprise chip!
Today is going pretty well!
8I was there 3000 years ago when the interwebs was just starting
and trolls were seen as trouble makers who would post to get people riled up and arguing . They thought it was fun and they liked to disrupt.
Now legacy newspapers and tv are trolls, posting bait to rile people up to get hits. They don't even believe half the shit they post.
It's not good enough, we deserve better.
Choose your news sources carefully.
7Survived a social day. In reviewing today's play I can only see 1 overreaction and maybe 2-3 oversharing moments.
No anxiety though which is amazing. And didn't cause a scene (mind you, i generally tend to avoid those). Bloody exhausted though.
7I had to go to the shops (full shopping centre) and it surprisingly wasn't as bad as I expected, but I am very happy I have decent noise cancelling headphones. While there's kids melting down, people yelling at the underpaid security people, checkpoint alarms going off everywhere all I can hear is
🎵Do you like pina coladas
And getting caught in the rain
Are you not into yoga
Do you have half a brain🎵
7Psa. If you are having trouble with log ins and replies and such it's not you it's technical stuff going on. Don't make me explain in more detail because I couldn't possibly. Details are on the home page.
6First attempt at making pad see ew. I tripled the sauce recipe as I made a bigger serve, but I only needed to double it. Maths fail. This is very saucy! Will make again tho, much simpler than I expected.
6Being an absolute Nana and crawling into bed mega early to read and pass out before things don't stop for 48hrs.
6I have braved the market for Christmas errands. Now I wrap.
I’m going to fuck this up but good
6Just braved highpoint to grab a click and collect. That joint is chaos at the best of times. Stupidly grabbed a few more things and now I've got bulky items to carry home🤦🏻♀️ At least I bought myself a treat: The Body Shop vanilla eau de toilette and a white musk deodorant roll on. Love those two fragrances and haven't bought anything from body shop for myself for about 30 years. I will wrap them and put under the tree as gift to myself.
6Sister just sent me the pics she took. Me, hubs, niece A all sitting nice and grinning...and niece B rolling on the couch on her face with her skirt up around her ears
6I was just watching something before about becoming professional mermaids/mermen. Yeah I'm not talking about kids parties but actually grown ups making this a career. Not sure how it works, whether you need a sponsorship or perhaps advertise KFC on your backside but it's a thing. So if you are sick of your office job you too could become half human half fish and somehow get paid for it.
5Sky glowing. Gonna be chilly tonight.
5O oh @Duenan@aussie.zone CEO - 2 Duenan - 0. Good luck with the Hurricanes buddy. I love watching Dooley play btw. 🏏
5Wooo mini Christmas with sis done. Oooh dem kiddies gonna sleep well tonight
5I promised myself I wasn’t going to go out again and shop and here I am.
Luckily I could do a click and collect at a less busy place away from a shopping centre.
Parking was super easy too thanks to that but must hurry. Have to get home for the BBL cricket!
5I was right. My wrapped presents look like eldritch mysteries unto God.
On the bright side, this means no one is going to have a clue what they are until they unwrap them…
4Okay, I found a solution to my salad drama. Fennel!!! I freaking love the stuff - if it's roasted, usually, but maybe I can try shaving it very finely... For about 10 months of the year I forget it exists... got some green apple, pea shoots, arugula, Victorian walnuts, have a carrot and if I can find some raisins I'll chuck them in for colour. Amazingly, the fancy grocer had no oranges of any kind, so I've grabbed a lemon for acidity. That should do it, I hope!
4slow careful activity all day and my sore back is so much better
4A much needed nap was had.
Last of the items in the vicinity of The Incident in the washing machine, and a good whack of earlier loads that I hung out nice and dry.
Now gathering the energy to put together the new vacuum and giving the place a good clean.3Browsing YT, saw an ad for vid from some self help/psych type guy. He was talking about finding your special purpose in life.
All I could think about was Navan's Special Purpose. 🤭 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xLLwERIqXs
2Just dropped off the last of the Christmas choccies except for the ones I'm taking on Christmas Day. Didn't get much sleep last night (finally dropped off at 1 and Sammi poked me awake at something after 4) so hopefully a nap before I tackle the cleaning. Meanwhile I've washed everything in the vicinity that was on the couch (I had a lot of washing ready to be folded and put away, dammit) and most of it is on the line, so that's done.
For those of you braving the shops, may the odds be in your favour.2Oh no @Duenan@aussie.zone. Good game.
CEO - 2 Duenan - 1
2Went to the bakery today for fresh bread this morning only to get what is clearly yesterdays bread - a soft French stick. Shitty overpriced bakery - should have gone to woollies, and that’s sad.
(Eating prawns and cheese with soft French stick ☹️ )
