Point and Shoot - Giggle Time!

Saturday afternoon giggles from my daughter! :) Play point and shoot at Fat Mum Slim! This is my first week but I hope to be playing along every week after my net is re connected after moving house! :)

Hot Weekend and moving house!

Well what a HOT weekend! 40 degree heat isnt my idea of fun, especially when all you have for fun is house to pack! We are moving later this week and have been busily cleaning out wardrobes and packing and everything else that comes with moving. Foodwise weekend was good, but I did have one slipup - Saturday night we had some icy poles left in the freezer and I had one while we watched a movie. It was so hot and the icy pole was just so refreshing. But its ok. Im not going to beat myself up about an icy pole lol! This week I lost 600 grams, which isnt much but still a loss. :)
Im hoping to put in a huge effort this week and to lose a bit more next week. So Im off for some Wii jogging! :)

Juicing

So I am a juicing fanatic. Not the stuf you buy that's sometimes weeks old at the supermarket. Im talking beautiful vegies and fruit that you juice yourslef at home. My boyfriend brought me a super cool juicer a couple of years ago and it was love at first sight! I love colour, so watching the pink from the beetroot, the orange from carrots and the green from whatever green vegie I put in from spinach to asian vegies!
I know its not exactly low carb but this is one thing which I dont worry about the carbs as I feel the benefit far outweighs having a few carbs!
Juicing is so good for your health. It can help you detoxify, lose weight etc and I have seen the benefits in my own body so I am a believer lol :)

These pics are of the juice I did this morning! I put in carrots, cucumbers, beetroot, celery, some Chinese leafy greens and an apple. I love the colours!

Yum!

I used to juice a few times a week but now I am low carbing I think I ll only juice once a week. Enjoy! :)

My favourite shoes

I have loved Converse shoes since I was a teen and I just keep finding ways to wear them! My latest buy was a pair of high top ones (you know the really high tops!) and they are the same candy pink as in the above pic. The other thing I love is decorating Cons. I was at my local spotlight a few weeks ago and they were having a sale on those iron on applique patch things, so I got quite a few they are cool candy and lolly ones and I intend to decorate my new cons with them. Oh when I can finally dig out my iron from the linen press! I will post some pics when they are done :) I just have to find some cool coloured laces longe enough for them now hehe! Xx

Friends!

I always love catching up with friends and today was Aussie Day so I caught up with one of my good friends for a coffee and chat. Im the kind of person who can really sit and talk for hours and I was child free today (yay! thanks mum :) ) so I literally did sit for hours and talk! Was great for the soul and it took my mind of craving carbs. :)
I couldnt survive without my friends :)

My goals for 2011.

So, my goals for this year are pretty simple. Im keeping them simple because I know if I set myself for something too hard, when the going gets tough I may not be able to keep it up. So here they are!

*Cut out all refined sugar (lollies, soft drinks, biscuits, cake etc) and white starchy carbs (aka crap!)
*Exercise. Everyday! Except on Sundays :)
*Look after myself better in general. Hot baths to relax, a pedicure every fortnight, drinking lots of water kind of looking after myself.
*Eat lots of salads, vegies, lean protein and good fats at every meal. And try to stick with low gi foods.
And last but not least I have allowed myself one treat for the week. On a weekend I am allowing myself to have a treat. Whether it be some dark chocolate, a junk food meal, or a danish and a latte for morning tea. Once a week, Im allowed too. The reason for this is because in the past I have said no to everything. And we all know that spells diaster!
