Bwhaha I did laugh. Whenever its my birthday i get a slew of cards that say 'Best Wishes' etc and 'Warm Wishes'. Its always fun.

I WON!!!!!!!!!!

Went to Auckland to visit my other kidney for the weekend. Brother is doing really well. Im able to eat now but unfortunatly thats ALL I've been doing all weekend :/
I swear I have eaten at least 1kg worth of calories just in the last 2 days. Its insane. Im not even gonna bother with dinner because im so full from the HUGE breaky and lunch i had today.
Let alone the 4 tacos i had last night, i was so stuffed to bursting point. Then the hotel we were staying in had a herd of elephants arrive in the room above outs at midnight just as i was dropping off to sleep, and they decided to run the bath.
Now the bath in these places is a HUGE spa bath thing, so it takes FOREVER to fill up. We're talking over 30 mins easy. Finally they fill the darned thing, piss about getting in it, and then ..... decide to turn on the bubble pumps! Oh yeah!
By this stage I had re-opened my book trying to read again. After an hour of them froicking in the spa bath they decided to go to bed, finally ....... and then proceeded to do the 'wild thing'.
So needless to say, I did not get much sleep last night!

Got the new toy, gave it to husband. Hes completely pulled the home network apart and we had no internet or TV for some time.
I still cant get the darned thing to work. I think im probably too tired and would get frustrated and pissy.

Hmm let me revise that .... it *felt* like i ate lots of calories ... having gone over it in my mind, yes i did eat pretty bad food, i actually didnt eat that much.

Breakfast was out at a cafe, french toast (2 sandwich slices of bread+egg) with 2 slices bacon + fruit ... it FELT like 5 slices of toast smothered in copious amounts of bacon, egg, ice cream, cream, etc.
Lunch was tomato soup with couple slices bread.
Dinner was skipped because lunch was lateish and I was too full (i did have a muesli bar as a snack though)

They didn't charge you extra for the "free listening show"?

wow your weight loss is incredible. you should be tickled pink over your success! sometimes i get down because i feel like its such a large amount i want to lose (75 pounds), but you've lost almost twice that. Very inspiring. keep up the great work and you look stunning

Thanks! for a second there I had to look twice, I have a friend called Miriam M whom ive known for years. Shes not very techy though

Well this year i decided to give the Lake Taupo a miss and do the Auckland Marathon instead .... scarey!

Daughters want to also join in and do it with me. Training starts next week!

Awesome! You guys are going to do great!!

This is a running marathon? Wow! That's a big deal. When will it be?

November!
We have 18 weeks and an 18 week program! i think we can do it! even a half would be excellent

Sorry for the lack of updates and modding, been a tad busy. Had a girls weekend out last weekend which was awesome.
Then something cool happened, i won a trip to Fiji, but this set off a chain of events which went insane .... somebody found out about the weightloss, so he media picked it up.
The same time the world stats came out and NZ was one of the 3rd fattest people behind america and some other place (havnt even read the news). so other media picked up on it.

This is me on tv this morning 3 News > Lifestyle > Story > Amazing 80kg weight loss: One woman's journey
Apparently im the number #1 highest hit non celeb on the website .
Im currently sitting in a McDs on my way to another prime time 7:30pm tv spot about weight loss etc tonight.
Miss my family being away a bit traveling for all the tv and other stuff, but its cool non-the less.
