A bit of an update

Its been a while since I last update the blog

and one of my resolutions this year was getting back to doing blog entries.

Its a really good way to keep a diary

and I do actually have my blog bounded into books..

I suppose the reason for the non blogging is lack of things to blog about.

My main source of blog material is still living in Emerald

my scrapping now is usually just my weekly class kits

that I have here in the shop.

And the shop itself keeps me really busy

and then in the extra time I have...

I am still trying to loose weight!

As far as that goes, I am still signed up for Michelle Bridges

but I wont be signing up again.

Lets just leave it at that.

I am still exercising everyday though and trying really hard to eat well.

I had an episode of illness a couple of weeks ago,

massive pain in my chest!

I callasped and was rolling on the floor in agony.

Stu dragged me to the hospital

(I told him to ring an ambulance!)

and the whacked me on all the monitors.

My heart was really good despite the agony I was in so it wasn't that.

The doctor said Gallstones or upset tummy!

I was vomiting which I do when I am under extreme stress

like this pain I was in.

Anyway all the blood tests and things done and then went to the doctor

and of course his diagnoses without any results in front of him was

You have cholesterol because your so fat!

I told him ok then run all the tests and I will come back when they are done.

So I went back a week later and the first question I asked was

What were my results.

Good he said,

yes fine, but what actually were they,

Everything normal

Yes ok, what was my cholesterol?

It was good, maybe a little below average...

Hmm I see.

What about my sugar?

Yes Ok, also a little below average.

So I dont have cholesterol and I am not in any fear of getting

diabetes... 

So why do I have gallstones

(Bear in mind he said it was because I was so fat and had cholesterol! I am proving a point here!)

He then said that 85% of woman have them but very few get attacks,

There we are, thats more like it!

Dont you hate how doctors blame fat, smoking and drunking on everything!

I damaged my knee running on a treadmill and he also blamed it on being too fat! Probably true but still!!

Come up with someone original will you!

Anyway, so health issues aside, I feel pretty good.

Scrapping:

I am really getting into project life at the moment!

I have weekly classes here with the lumpy bumpy scrapping

but I am thinking I might start flatening it out more.

I know the ladies love the lumpy bumpy

but I need to fnd a way to adapt my flowery scrapping

and make it flatter!

I am also going to start Project Life kits too next year.

I am gathering supplies and looking for things that are a little different.

Keep your eye out!

Here are some kits that I have onsale at  the moment.

A Confession

I really dont know if anyone out there reads this blog anymore?

Do you?

I cant remember the last time I had a comment.

But for those out there that do read the blog from time to time, 

I thought I might share my current challenge with you.

Its a little embarrasing, but Im not alone,

there are alot of us out there!

As you know, I have struggled with my weight over the years!

Ive tried every diet imaginable!

After the trip to NZ which I am sure you will agree

was life changing!

I thought I would start to make steps for a more personal life change!

I hoping something has clicked this time!

Ive had the busiest week of the year

and I stayed on track...

So I am hopeful!

Im doing the Michelle Bridges 12WBT Challenge.

I have started it before in its early stages

and I found it difficult to keep up!

But now its been refined and definitely easier to achieve!

Its idiot proof and when It comes to my weight,

I am a total idiot!

So I am linking you into my experience.

Ive had this private blog since 2009

and now I have made it public.

You can follow along in my personal journey

and maybe offer some support?

I am not interested in Criticism,

I am not interested in any negative comments.

Im not interested in hearing about how much weight I have put on, or any of that other crap that will make me feel bad that some people see as being supportive!
That's just rubbing my face it in!

I figure that any one out there that is still reading this,

must have a genuine interest in my life.

But I do welcome encouragement.

If you would like to share my journey

here is the link.
