SpArKLy_StAr the grouch!

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the support RE: the bathing suit situation. Yes, it is a vacation to sunny warm northern Australia - hooray! considering it's the depths of winter right now.

I really, really love theme parks and love hte water - and it's only been recently (probably since my boyfriend and i got together...hrmmmmmm coincidence?) that i've been self concious.

Came home from work last night and was in a really grumpy mood.  My boyfriend.. lets say.. isnt the best communicator. He gets frustrated with stupid people, and he also wont ask questions if he doesnt understand something. So i asked him to call the tax department to ask something, and he did... but came back with some convoluted answer that didnt make any sense. So i grumbled at him. I get really frustrated that he cant say "i dont understand what you mean" or "can you explain that again" when he's faced with someone talking jargon and not plain language. So i kind of made him call his tax man, and we got the answer we needed.....

But i was grumpy and had to rush off to the gym - we only see each other for like 30 minutes on a Tuesday despite living together. I get home from work at 6pm, leave for the gym at 6.15pm. He goes to gridiron training on tuesdays and thursdays from 6.30pm - 9.30pm... so its a perfect chance for me to go to the gym. I almost didnt go - but am very glad i did... apparently one class of combat burns around 500 calories in 45 minutes!

I then came home at about 7.30pm, veged on the couch and ate dinner/watched tv, then got to see the boy for about another 20 minutes before we went to bed. at about 10pm.

I apologised to him this morning too... told him i loved him and was sorry for being a grumpy bum/

Food eaten yesterday totalled 1494 calories. According to Calorie King i should be around 1560 calories... slightly different than the random 1200  - 1300 i created for myself. I was hungry at the 1200 and feel more satisied around 1500, so we'll see how this goes for a few weeks.

Only 10 more sleeps until my holiday!

Food eaten yesterday:

• Carmans muesli bar 197
• bagel with light cream cheese 402
• 100g smoked salmon 133
• 2 chicken drumstick 240
• 5 slices of corn thins 102
• Hommus on corn thins 142
• Banana 80
• yoplait no fat banana and honey 106
• 2 Paradise lite chocolate cookies 86

Men!

I know what you mean about the communication thing - my boy's the same. Except he'll ask questions, but get frustrated if you don't answer the question the way he wants (usually because he hasn't phrased it properly)... but he's quite happy to ask for directions when he needs to - Bless! (is this a world first?!)

As for QLD at the moment - sunny, not necessarily warm. It's nice in the sun, but it's been blowing a gale lately and the wind slices right through you. I hope you don't get sick!

PS. For some stupid reason I have EP wired to my home account, will change it right now, if you really want me to read your email before 4:30pm... lol. Do you use MSN messenger?? Ohh that could be naughty... haha!

Allowed

Don't sweat it - everyone gets grumpy sometimes.  Maybe TOM is on his way?  Kudos on getting to the gym for your combat class!

Have a great day!
