Hi all. Kinda new on here but have got the hang of this now I think. Only found this group today so Im glad to be able to connect with other fellow kiwis on this journey. At the mo Im doing the 30 day shred finished day 7 so Im pretty proud of myself so far! I was not really a exercise person thats for sure. Anyway happy to make new friends on here my diary is open so feel free to add

Good on you,Jillian is hard work for sure

Hi Folks, I promised my youngest (6) that if it was a rainy weekend I would spend sat arvo building lego with him......guess what I'm doing after lunch. Lol. ( I'm pretending its a mission, but secretly looking forward to it) " sorry dear , can't fertilise the lawn, I made a promise" haha.

Thats great zaxie that your husband is joining you on the shred! As for lego argh! Memories of standing on them all the time laying all over the house haha but good times

lololol, my husband could have posted that too Dizz. He loves lego time with his son. I think it's his favourite chore.

Your hubbie would be impressed Zaxie, just built zurgs spaceship and the bat mobile. Lol.

Hi everyone from a cold and wet Palmerston North. Have spent some time this morning at the Massey University Animal Hospital with our dog - he has been in and out all week with some kind of bug, they aren't sure what, but weight is falling off him. How ironical is that? I go on a diet and the dog loses weight. I'm just glad we have that amazing facility available to us in Palmy. But I'm even happier that we have pet insurance! Cheers, Kathy.

Thank you, so do I. He is my baby!

Kkooge, hope pup is ok, be so much easier if they could say whats wrong.

im down in balclutha for work and it is chucking it down outside. Im just about to do my workout in my motel room. Hopefully the people in the unit next door dont hear too much puffing and panting, they will see im alone and wonder what i am up to .lol.

Hi
I've been back on MFP for a week now.
I have 2 months till I go to Fiji, and have got to get my eating/exercising sorted!
Have had a whole week with no; chips, chippies or doughnuts which is a record (obviously had some problems there!)
I'm eating a whole lot more veges now, though.
I've added a bunch of you as friends as it keeps life interesting.
Rosie

Hahaha Dizzzlel .... that gave me a long needed laugh! You could easily be the topic of conversation at many a dinner table tonight!
Impressed with the dedication though - I'm more interested in a glass of wine when I'm away than working out! (Which is why I am on MFP!) Cheers Kathy

Hi everyone, Pippa here :-)
I've been on MFP for a while now, love logging everyday, and the support from everyone.
Taking ages to lose weight, I guess I am not putting 100% into it right now. I just had my birthday last week - I'm 39, and am aiming to get back to my pre pregnancy weight by the time I am 40! There, I put my goal out there, so now I will achieve it!

Nice goal Pippa, you CAN do it!

Thanks Kathy - now to get serious about it!

Hi All~! Hope your days are going well

JM lvl2 kicked my *kitten*. But then I did some stair running so that was good too.

Im so boring at the moment, I dont have much to say - I think I bombard my feed too much instead of saying hi here!

Psych I hope your toddler gets better with a dehumidifier! Its awful hearing little ones cough away, isnt it?

What's has everyone got planned for the weekend?

Evening all, just finished my fitstar work master 6 decided he wanted to watch ( and participate a little), and I'm not sure if it was the audience or what, but man did it take it out of me. Lol.

Kkooge, I would be the same as you, you're right they can't talk and you will know better than anyone if he is right or not. But on the same note they are amazingly resilient so don't stress yourself more than you have to (easier said than done).

Zaxie , I don't know how hard JM lvl2 is , but it's a great feeling having your *kitten* kicked, right? You feel like you've earned a seat in front of the laptop. Lol.

Long weekend here, woohoo.

Is there an election coming up?

Yep, young uns, croup...I don't envy you .

Oh boy yesterday was a boomer of a day weather wise. So much wind and rain here. Glad I gymmed on Friday and did a good hard cardio and weights. Increasing my leg presses again. Earlier in the year I had got to 140kg presses, back to 80kg now but my legs know it haha, will get to 140 again soon Can see the definition starting again. So.. quite glad it was a yuck day because I could have a rest day and clean house I work all week and don't really get near the computer so I am a weekend commenter sorry. Anyway, much better day today so I have a run planned, aiming for 8k. I am doing a relay in mid October around Lake Rotorua and I have the 8.2k leg so I need to know I can run it hehe. Last year was the first year doing something like this and it was with other MFP NZers. We had never met each other but made fast friends. Was the best weekend. We dressed as Zombies, grubby and bloody haha. This year it is undies and capes so I am making my cape later today Maybe you could be there next year?? Hope you all have great days planned!
