im a bad bad girl...

 hi there my e.p friends, well ive finally got my butt down on this chair and writting a blog, its been a while since ive done this,every time i went to, something came up and stopped me but here i am. Hope everyone is doing wonderfully on their journey in slimming down. As for me well ive gained  a little grrrr   Some would be belting them self around the head for doing that but im not going to be crying over it. As far as im concerned we're aloud to gain a little every now and then, we're women thats our job    lol , sometimes its not our fault.  i wasnt pigging right out like some wild animal that hasnt been feed for a long time, i was just a little naughty a couple of times. What with all the fires around us and being busy doing the rounds helping out with the ones that sadly lost their homes the last thing that was on my mind was dieting.we were one of the lucky ones but it was scary there for a while.Then there was a couple of girlfriends birthdays so i let my hair down and had a few drinks and some naughty nibblies, well maybe more then a couple lol and partyed on.    Then i made this big country baked cheese cake Yummy!   NOW how can a girl not have a piece when its staring right at her and calling out  EAT ME EAT ME..  I blocked my ears and quickly covered this evil thing and shoved it as far back as it would go in the fridge and walked right away saying to myself I dont need it , im strong , i dont need you EVIL CHEESE CAKE.  Well for the best part of the day i ignored this big Creamy, Delicious cheese cake that sat in my fridge. BUT by the late afternoon i ended up having two little guys on my shoulders whispering in each ear over and over .. The first was saying.. GO ON SALLIE TAKE IT YOU'LL LOVE IT, IT WONT HURT YOU ITS SMOOTH AND CREAMY EAT IT EAT IT. then the other one would start in the other ear saying ....   NO NO DONT DO IT ,YOUR DOING SO WELL DONT TAKE A STEP BACK BE STRONG GIRL WALK AWAY...    My goodness my head was spinning it was like a mad game of tennis my head was going left then right then back again over and over these little fellows were going on and on, I just couldnt stand it any longer then something bad happened i gave into that evil little fellow and gave into  TEMPTATION..  and cut a little piece JUST A LITTLE BIT.  OMG! it was sooooo wonderful sooooo creamy sooooo delicious so scrumptious, its been such a long time since ive eaten anything like that. WELL girls you know what happened then dont YOU..  YES i cut another little piece and then one more..WELL WHATS A GIRL SUPPOSE TO DO? so theres my kilo and half i gained     iM A BAD BAD GIRL. But hey! i must say i enjoyed every little bit of that EVIL cheese cake.. yummy...  SO now the thing is ive got to work harder to get rid of the weight gain.. What am i doing about it we ive still got a smile on my face and ive up the anti in my aquarobics instead of doing it 3x a week im doing it 4x times a week and staying away from evil foods lol.  ok guys ive dribbled on enough must be boring for you so i'll get going. until next time take care and happy slimming to you all.. P.S watch those little guys sitting on your shoulders lol....

A POEM FOR YOU:

One day i decided, to get on the net ,    i thought a support group would be my best bet...     I took a chance and had a nice thought ,   i could do this, as i need some support....          I saw names on the screen , post's and blog's too...            But dietinggrammas  stood out ,  they sounded sweet too...       Julyorchid and Daylene , were in this group,      They said ,     "Come on in"    we can chat , do some good..     Don't be afraid we don't bite ,  cause we're sweet loving grandma's all on a diet....        Two new people by the days end , and after a while they called me their friend....     Sometimes i go in and my new friends arnt there , but i keep going back ,  because i know they both care....      I think we'll be friends ,  for a long time i'm sure....      I'm glad i found dietinggrammas that i am sure....    So to you dietinggrammas i thank you , and i think your both sweet...      So we'll diet together till the end           And SLIMMER GRANDMA'S WE WILL BE....   AMEN....

Thoughts On Getting Older...

 I HAVE DECIDED THAT ...  OLD IS A GIFT

Probably for the first time in my life im the person i have wanted to be. OH! NOT MY BODY !! i sometimes dispair over my body,the wrinkles the slightly sagging butt, belly, the eye sight not as sharp as it once was and that older women in the mirror.. oh! i could go on and on, but now that im older i dont agonize over those things for long, well not as much as i use to...                                                                                                                                i would have to say now, that, i wouldnt trade my family, friends or my life for less grey hair or a flatter belly. as ive gotten older ive become more kind to myself and a little less critical. ive become my own friend, thats a good thing as i use to be my worst enemy. now that im older i dont beat myself up anymore if i have that extra cookie or for not making my bed or for buying something silly that i didnt really need, or for playing on the computer until 4am and sleep until noon. and whose business is it if i wish to dance around the loungeroom to 50's 60's music by myself.. im at the age i can please myself.  i know im at times forgetful, but hey! some of life is just as well forgotten..                                                                                  im entitled to a treat, to be messy and to be extravagant .. after all the years of looking after everyone else i can now do what i need to do for myself. getting older is good. i will even walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body (scary) dive into the waves with gusto if i choose to, dispite the pitying glances from the young and beautiful. THEY too, will get older one day , THEY tend to forget that.                                  i have seen friends leave this world  to soon before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging... my heart has been broken over the years, but a broken heart is what gives us strength, understanding and compassion.. a heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.. as you get older it is easier to be positive, you care less about what people think, you dont question yourself anymore and you've earned the right to be wrong now and then.  so to me getting old is a gift, your able to do more things now then you did when you were younger..

I LIKE BEING OLDER  IT HAS SET ME FREE.........

my pic's

O.M.G    how SCARY are they, i hope none of you have nightmares if you check them out.  i just hate my photo taken even though ive always got a camera or the camcord in my hand i run whenever anyone else has one in theirs. when i look at them i  think  NOWAY!!  thats not me i couldnt be that        FAT,     its the photo, they always make you look bigger then you are, but when i look into that  horrible thing called a   MIRROR   i moan & groan , i hang my head in shame & walk away thinking about that old saying .......             a picture tells a story, its shows the truth it doesnt lie..          But im not going to cry    anymore about them because by christmas i'll have a few new ones to show off as they'll be pics of the    NEW THINNER ME    and i wont mind looking into that mirror anymore. WELL thats the PLAN guys..                   NO MORE SCARY FAT PHOTOS ... 

ILL DO THE PICS LATER GOTTA RUN BYE ALL

first blog

 well my first blog. so what do i write. i really dont have a clue but here goes..     Today is the first day of my , hopefully smooth road to the thinner me.. yes ive been down this road before but this time im determinded to go the whole hog. like so many of us its been a bit of diet yoyo'ing over the years. but it hasnt all been because of me wanting to be slack its because of the accident i had  and spent 4 months in bed then having to learn to walk again properly , that took 12 months. then it was just one thing after another you know what its like, ( i think i must have killed a lot of chinamen that i didnt know of ) but things are better now with my health and life,so im raring to go with a positive attitude  ... went for an early morning walk just half hour then went off to aqua 45mins. plan to go 3x a week to aqua ,walk on off days . i have a spin exercise bike so i'll brush off the dust and fit that in along the way. anyway until next time smile and be happy.
