Hi yes I am back
Hi all Well we have had a big holiday to Brisbane and it was great lots of sun food drink and great company and lots of laugh and of course a little bit of shopping too But one thing i realise while shopping that is i am still to big to buy those nice clothes off the rack so made me realise i really should have put in allot more effort too .I can not change that now so have to look forward to next holiday ha ha .i am sorry for all those people that gave me good advise on what and how to eat when on holiday though it didn’t go quite according to plan i did put on weight even though we walked and walked so i guess it could have been worse if we hadn’t done that I have been extra good when we got home though to get it all off but must say did have a bit of a blow out at the weekend and I don’t really no why .because it did not feel good and now i just want to turn back the clock but as you all no cant do that so I have had a big talk to myself and no excuses now i have to do this for me and for my family and I do need to do it so hopefully you will be hearing more from me from now on,so far today is going well although still need a wee bit more exercise Until tommo Lianne

Busy week
Hi Why is it when you are going away that you think you have to do everything before you go ,it will still be there when you get back .We are away to Aussie on the 18th and back on the 25th so only a week really will be lots of fun plenty of walking but lots of tempting foods to ,so i have decided to be extra good this week so hopefully it will make up for that.We had a great group session there were six of us four from last challenge a two new ladies its so nice to meet the new ones to after the session we all went back to Dawns for a cup of yes herbal tea and a chat we have all found that we get so much out of that i do hope the new ladies did to ,we are all there for the same reason just different amount of weight to loose thats all .I feel so lucky to have made such wonderful new supportive friends and Debbie has been very kind and thoughtful and has organised a us to go and see lady about what wear and what suits us I think she exchanges clothes and does alteration too.She thought we all needed a pick me up so thanks for that Debbie .Dawn and I are still emailing each day well most anyways it keeps you thinking about what you are eating.Heard abit about the retreat to from the girls and Dawn showed us her and Grants vision boards .Have not done it yet but i am going too.Its really great to see so many blogging this time I do enjoy reading them and get alot out of it do ,I think its nice to no that we are all human and not prefet ha ha
Until next time Hope you all have a good weekend and stay away from the easter eggs and buns

Yea I no a bit slack sorrt
Hi all Sorry I have been really slack blogging not really sure what I do with my days but I do find time to read other blogs so much better then writing my own I had a loss this week I was rapt about that but have been trying really hard to .Not always as good as I should be I find it really hard when I am away home things just aren’t there the same and your eating out more but try to make the best choices that I can do .We were in Dunedin at a 21st at the weekend I was so proud of myself I don’t drink anyway so that bit wasn’t hard but the super looked great but they had chicken and you could dip in sauce if you wanted but I didn’t and only had one piece too so I know I can do it I am just not hungry later at night now . I have missed a few of the live calls just cant get it in my head that it is Tuesday now not Wednesday like last time .Thanks for all your support again its great to know we all want the same thing. We are off to oz in 11 sleeps and there is just so much I need or want to get done but we are only away for a week so it will wait .Last time I said I needed to drink more water I am struggling with that but still not drinking enough for my weight I do drink a lot more herbal teas though and I am enjoying them too still do have the odd coffee but its organic must help a little ha ha .I am finding it really great to read others blogs you all are so focus and motivated and such will power I no I am lacking that I was talking to Dawn the other day about how my how world revolve around food I start finding about it when I get out of bed in the mornings can anyone help me with that its not good and then its what’s for lunch and then tea and on and on. Looking forward to our group meeting tommo night Will try harder ok Bex but its nice to no your missing me thanks Lianne

Right i am ready to start again
Hi all I no you have heard it before but this time I am really going to try I have struggle alot to get back into it I lost nothing this but that’s my own fault too.I have done alot of thinking and talking, boy we have a great lot of supportive peolpe down south thanks guys it really means alot to me all your help and support and also all the comment from others as well .it nice to no the help is out there and i am going to use it this time.My blood sugars have gone up as well and i really done like that at all,so i have to do it for my health really and so far so good this week . The hole exercise thing is still not there I want it to be when i read how others are going but hey one step at a time yea at least i am doing some that’s got to help.I also need to drink more water and hey I should be thinking if i lose weight then I don’t have to drink as much do I.i got the recipe book out again and had a read i think i was getting board with the same old things all the time and I must i am looking forward to winter so I can have more soups and that the only reason i look forward to winter i must say.I went to visit a friend today she was asking me all about how i was going she is so supportive and likes to help when she can unfortunately she is about a size 8 but still never judges me.Well that’s me for today i have decided that’s its better to write little and often than not at all SO hopefully you will hear from me more

I am back and on track too
Well what a interesting few weeks it been I was not sure what I was doing but yes I have decided with the help of my wonderful husband we sat down and wrote a list of for’s and against and the for’s won by a long shot and only against we came up with was the money so James said he did not need to think about it anymore it was my decision now so here I am I have struggle to get back on track but today is the new beginning for me and I am going to do it this time get to my goal that is. Thanks to everyone again for there support its just so great to know we are all out there to help each other though the good and the bad times and there are a few of those too. I have read though my folder again now started back into exercise and eating really well again and drinking lots of water and herbal tea too. It is surprising how quickly the weight can go back on to when you go off a little bit but we have booked our trip to oz and leave on the 18th April with a smaller me I have got clothes that I want to wear over there so have to be so good because I am NOT buying anymore to take . I have put on 1.5 kilos and no I am not happy about that but hey I have confessed now so need to do something about it. Had an email, Cat today asking if I would be the challenger of the week for week 9 just what I needed to get me going thanks for that. I had missed the last 2 calls but we have that sorted now . Great to read the blogs and will be great to catch up with the new challengers too. Now it is all about me and as Bex said I am so worth it I am going to try and blog each day now
Till next time Lianne

Do I Dont I
Hi I have been thinking for the last few days am I going back on the challenge or not The mind is a funny thing isn’t it yes no will I wont I, I can do it on my own or can I .I really want to loose the weight so I should just think of it as a new start and not just a carry on boy i do hope you guys can understand this but it is good to be able to write it all down too ,so just read it if you want to Sounds like you all had aIgreat time at the retreat I did have regular texts from Debbie don’t no when she had time to do that thanks Debbie .I feel like I have made some new friends along the way and if I do not join again i might loose you guy sound a bit soppy ah .But i do mean that with out your support i would not have got this far so thank you.James told me that he thinks i need to be push and he isn’t the one to do it because i don’t listen to him but really i do i hear him I just don’t do what he says not good but I no he only does it for my health hes not wanting me skinny just health and happy.Well we are off the oz in six weeks and I really do want to be smaller how much not sure yet but do need to set a goal for myself might have to get smaller togs ah Bex. i know I have made alot of small improvements in my life but I know there is alot more I can make but its all up to me no one else can do it for me unless i get my jaw wired shut haha that would stop me from eating anyway but it isn’t all about the eating it is for me anyway the exercising and doing more of it I do it but in fits and fads not good I no I can hear you saying it It is really hard to believe that 112 days is almost over where does the time go I am looking forward to our group session tommo night i am sure we will here more about the retreat from the girls.Good luck all for tommo weight in i will sleep on it and make a decision in the next couple of days and I will let you no what that is

Where to begin
Hi all it doesn’t pay to leave the blogging for to long does it you do forget whats been happen.I did have a really busy weekend with NO exercise but i guess it was aciddental weight lifting i made mine lime stone sculpture it was lots of fun but heavy going when you had to move it around to so hence the weight lifting but my eating went really well did nt have time to think about food .Monday wasn’t such a good day either i was so tired but did recover after a nanny nap during the day .Tuesday I wenot to invercargill to get my hair cut and colored thought i better good my best for Damian and Phyllis ha ha I did get some after photos but didn’t think where was alotof different but yes where is when you put them together I was a bit late sending them in so none of the Invercargill ones were up on the big screen which was a pretty because dawn and Gillian have lost about 20 kilos get so they do look way different , it was also great to you Desi on the screen now we can put a face to the name you good so good well done.It ws good to meet up with Damian and Phyllis and meet Phyllis husband Gary too but a wee but disappointing that we met up late and then people started arriving real early so it was abit hard to talk to them properly but they did have lots of positive comments too .It has been so great to have the support from the other ladies in invercargill you have been a wonderful help to me ,Its still hard to believe that the 112 days is just about up but we have learnt so much along the way and a lot of challenges to I guess that why it call the 112 day challenge is’nt it.

Where does the time go
Hi all where does the time go.Wasn’t the call last t ime really good but I am no where near ready for other foods yet.have can say one thing I have not missed is potatoes I still cook them for my family but have not had one since the challenge begin so found it very interesting when Cush was talking about them.I had another small loss this week but hey a loss is a loss .We are trying to organise another meet down here like we did after our group meeting I did really enjoy that and felt I got alot from it too as i am sure the other ladies did.I have got a real busy but enjoyable weekend this weekend ,we have our local flower show tommo watch I so kindly put my hand up to be the co-oderater for but have had alot of help and support that’s goes for all day and then at night too and then om sat and sun i am doing a lime sculpturing course its just so much fun i did it last year and made an interesting piece ,this year I am hoping to make a small bird bath with paua shell on it so will let you no next week how that goes and no i am no creative but we do have two tutors to help us last year I need them alot.Looking forward to next week seeing what new for the next challenge,i am sure there is going to be alot more people there this time it is on the radio so much and they are giving away alot of tickets too.well must go to bed now keep up the blogging My aim for the next few day is to geet though the nexr few days and try and do a little bit of exercise too.will be back after the weekend.

Have been a bit slack
Hi haven’t written for a while things have been a hectic but getting back to normal ha ha what ever that is James is recovering nicely but still abit sore Great reading how everyone is going I am sure that the day counter is going down to quickly though,we are nearly in march!! The exercise is getting easier I must be getting a little bit only a little bit fitter.We were away in Te Anau for the weekend both boys were riding moto bikes the normal routine is we help lap score and while waiting around we eat yummy junk food but not this time i came prepare with fruit and nuts and chicken and all good healthy things and we all enjoyed that much better.Isn’t it good when everyone can enjoy healthy eating with you and all feel better for it to.The only thing that slipped up at the weekend was the exercise but hopefully making up for it this week.Looking forward to seeing Phylis and Damian next week and hope we can get some good tips from Leeann too not so good that she has been unwell though.Well that’s it for tonight I am off to bed i do need my sleep have a really busy week this week so better make the must of it .
