I can't even remember what I blogged about last...lol! Everytime I promise to blog more, things end up getting all crazy! We are sooooo busy at work. But it should calm down a bit now.
The things taking up alot of our time was the Golf Day we did for a charity... wow! It's stressful planning a Golf Day. It was yesterday, and went pretty well. Except for the guy helping us organize...all he was interested in was taking up all the limelight, and he ended up making his name shit during the prize-giving last night cos he is definately not one to talk in front of people.
Tomorrow is my birthday and this is the first year I'm not even looking forward to it. Reason: Hubby & I have still not been paid for February. So we are battling. All our stop orders have gone off, and there's been no money so they've all been rejected. Hubby is so depressed and so am I. We can't go through anymore, and yet it seems that the bombs keep dropping on top of us, one by one.
My BFF said that she is going to buy meat and booze, then we are gonna braai by our place tomorrow - but i really don't want to. How embarrasing is that? Your friend must pay to do something on your birthday?!
I'm going first thing tomorrow to get my papers done for the payout for my trust fund. And im sending it in tomorrow. They said it gets released once im 25...and it couldn't have come at a better time... A little sooner would've been good, but i have to hold on just a little bit longer. So hold thumbs that they pay out asap because we really need this. Then I'm set for quite a while.
I've been on Simply Slim for 19days now...It's going reasonably well. I am losing... but apparently not as fast as most of the people on it. I think that has to do with my water intake. I HAVE to increase it... i just have to! Going to do some research now...
Anyway, here are the stats for my 19 day loss so far:
I'm only noting my loss...
Waist - down 4cm
Hips - down 4cm
Bust - down 3.5cm
Thigh - down 1.5cm
Arm - down 5.5cm
Total = 18cm lost
Weightloss = 3.5kgs
Hope you're all well...

The Climb
Ive lost about 3kgs so far on Simply Slim! Yay! So it works!!! lol. Well i know it does. I have almost no appetite, im always thirsty - so my water intake is increasing, i feel it in my clothes, and the scale tells me so! haha!
Again, its been a really crazy week at work. Late nights, etc.
Last night we had a scare - we woke up to our dogs barking, and someone shouting for us at the gate... it was just after 2am. So we went to the front, and it was a guy who is part of the 'neighbourhood watch' where we stay. He told us that people saw men jump into our yard, and now they cant find them... and that they've blocked off our roads so that whoever it is, cant escape. He asked if he could come into our yard to check if they're hiding or if we would check... we let him in... he even asked if we have a weapon on us...which we didn't. He checked with a torch and saw nothing. Then he came to the front again, and apologized for waking us up... and also told us there are about 30 cars circling the area trying to find them. He also told us about the meeting they have once a week which we are welcome to join.
Obviously I couldn't really sleep after that...
I'm also sick as a dog. Flu that went straight into my chest in like a day!!! Crazy! I've never gotten sick so quick... I feel terrible.
I haven't been eating dinner this week... which i think is awesome!!! I will get to work, have a small breakfast, like muesli or somethin... and then at lunch time, a sandwich with ham on or marmite or whatever...and that's that. So my intake has been pretty good.
I'm very under the weather today... Started from this morning, when i went onto hubby's facebook profile, and i saw that he had left a comment or two on one of our 'girl' friend's status's... it really hurt cos he never even comments on my status's or comments on the nice notes i leave him, etc...
Her status was ''Loving the rain'', and he commented ''Great for snuggling'', then she said something-nothing important-and he replied ''Why?Are you a night or dark lover? LOL'' WTF?!! He's such a flirt... I wish he would flirt with me a little...
Anyway, i got to work, and it was crazy busy... hubby had to drive to jhb for 3 deliveries, and i had to go to 2 suppliers...
There's just tooo much to explain via writing, but needless to say, everything is getting too much for me... I feel like running away. Not telling anyone, and just disappearing....(pulling a stunt like Sherri did)... I doubt i'd do it, but thats how i feel. I just feel so overwhelmed, so emotional - just depressed.
I think that's why I'm hardly eating too...
I'm going to post the words of a song - Miley Cyrus's ~The Climb. You all know it, but the words ring true to how I feel.
I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
I got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes it might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
Cause there’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

*Sherri*
So, I'm dedicating this blog to my fave cousin in this whole wide world... It doesn't matter how hurt, cross, & upset I am! I still love her with my whole heart!
So here's the story... Sherri was with her boyfriend for about 3yrs... and then left him. The reason: he hit her one too many times. The last straw was when they were at a club on the eastrand - Nicci Beach! She asked one of the bouncers to take a pic of them with her camera...and he flew off the lid because she gave her camera to a black man! I mean, come on!!! He's a bouncer for goodness sake! So he backhanded her down a flight of stairs...she thought he was on his way down to help her up, when he hit her down the next flight of stairs. She thought her nose was broken!! She was bleeding! That wasn't the first time... A year or so ago, they had come this side for the weekend for our other cousins 21st. After the 21st, her and the bf, came with us to a club...on our way out the club, she recognised a far cousin of hers, who is leb(not on my side), and she said hi. Now, porra's and lebs do not get on! He almost got into a fight with the guy for no reason...on our way home(they were in the back of the bakkie), they had a huge fight - he apparently strangled her. when she tried to scream for my help, he tightened his grip...then eventually let go... when we got to my place...she was in tears...and told me everything in the bedroom. She even developed an ED while with him... she weighed something like 48kgs when she got home.
Now everything was great... She had left him - moved back this side...we had a welcome home party for her... she and one of our other friends were showing interest in eachother...he's an awesome guy, and the total opposite of what she knows... she wasn't ready for a relationship yet, but they were working on their friendship, etc... she was mending her friendships with everyone...
Last thursday evening, before we went to a club... i fetched her from her parents place so that she could come and get ready by me... on our way home... she was on the phone to her ex the whole time...he wanted to pitch up at the club...but we all would've made sure his ass got kicked so hard that he never would've set his feet near my cuz again. Well he didn't pitch up. I was upset with her though, because she lets him walk all over her... even though they weren't even together anymore. I think that is the reason she didn't tell me :(
We all had fun that night... partied hard. I never heard from her after that... All I know is that sunday, her ex was going to go and apologize to her parents face-to-face... Today, when I logged onto facebook, I noticed she had deleted her profile. Then I got very suspicious...
I sms'd her mom to find out what was going on? If she was ok, etc as I haven't heard from her...
She replied that Sherri had gone back to her ex... She told her mother that she was going to Warmbaths for the weekend, which was a lie. She never told any of her friends. She also changed her cellphone number.
I am so upset! She is supposed to be my best friend! She never even told me anything - She never even said goodbye. :-(
When I spoke to our mutual friends, they were all told that she was going to one of her aunts for the weekend. Just the night before 'that sunday' - she had told all of us, this is the year for new beginnings, friendships, etc.
I'm soooo worried about her - how will she be able to contact us if she needs us?? She's moved far away! She deleted her fb account! And her number is non-existant. How will we be able to contact her to say hi, to just check if she's ok??? :-(
It feels like my world has turned upside down...
Here's some pics of my gorgeous cousin: (ignore any dates on the pics... these pics are all recent - within the past 2months)
~~~~On a brighter note - we went away for the weekend. We left on thursday, and got home this morning. It was awesome! I had such a great time with my hubby, my friend and her bf... They are awesome people!
Took my simply slim for 3 days last week. Thought it would be best if I left it over the weekend because you aren't supposed to drink alcohol on those tabs... So I will officially start it again tomorrow.
I'm going to call it a day - It's been a rough one!
Have a great week everyone! Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Day 1 - SimplySlim
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great day?~ Mine wasn't too bad.
Started on the Simply Slim today... It went quite well... Took the tab at about 7am this morning. And about 30min afterwards, I could already feel the dryness in my mouth. This stuff forces you to drink atleast 3litres of water a day. I'm not a water fan! Hate it! Only managed to get down 750ml or so today... not even 1 third of what im supposed to drink. From tomorrow, i need to seriously up it.
From about 2pm, I started with a headache... I'm not one to get headaches often, so I assume it's as a result of my body starting to detox. It's just after 7.20pm now, and it feels as though its getting worse. I'm very tired though - so it doesn't look like I'll battle with the whole insomnia thing...
Managed to organize a box of SS for a lady I know who begged me to get for her. So I managed to get someone who still has a few boxes left. He just phoned me. He will be dropping it off at work for me, at 8am tomorrow morning. A little nervous as people aren't supposed to sell it anymore, so if I get caught - which i doubt I will(unless he's actually trying to catch me out), then I'm in big poo! This guy seems pretty legit though...as I found him on the internet speaking up for the product. Which is a good thing. Well lets see how it goes... I'm going to ask him to keep a box aside for me so that I can get it from him at the end of the month... I need more than 1 box to get to my goal weight. haha!
It's hubby & my 2nd year Anniversary today!! We didn't get eachother anything as the funds are a bit low at the moment, but we are going away this weekend as I mentioned in a previous blog. So that is just perfect for me. When I got to work though, my mom had picked some beautiful pink roses out her garden, put them in a vase, and put in on my desk as a surprise for when i walked in...
Ok, now I'm pissed off - hubby just walked into the room. He was on his pc... He looked tired, so I asked him what's wrong, and he said that it was a long day. So I asked him, whats his plans for the rest of the evening? And guess what he said?? Sleep!!!! FFS! I hardly saw him today.... and now he's not even gonna spend some time with me tonight?! Wtf! Now im not happy anymore! What a shit ending to an ok day!
Intake was ok I guess.
Breakfast-Rusk
Muesli
Lunch-Pumpkin with 2 fish fingers
Snack-small Blueberry muffin x2
Dinner-2egg whites
3bites of steak
a few chips
hmmm ok, looking at that, it was really shit!
Time for bed! Night all...xxx

ExCiTeD!
What a crazy busy year so far! WoW... lol.
On thursday night we went to a High-Flyerz... didnt go off to well. It was hubby's first time there, and he's really full of poo as to what the music is like, etc... That place is right up my alley though... loved it!
Friday we had to work late. Saturday we went in early. 5am!!! yes i know we're mad, but if I wanted to get off at 10am, i had to do it. The plan was to go to watch the kick-off of the drifting season at the rock. But as we got there, it started raining... badly! :( So we called it a day and then went home, slept, relaxed, etc... We had nothing planned for that evening, but then one of my best friends invited us to go to her bf's friends place to drink and visit, etc. What a great time we had! Pool, darts, booze.... etc. Really different to the norm... which is clubbing. lol. Then on sunday, we went to braai at the inlaws....so we had quite an eventful weekend.
OMG! Who in SA saw that Simply Slim got banned on friday???! Soooo sad! But atleast my order was in, and I received it today!!! Now I have to do the best I can to lose as much weight from this product in 1 month cos I dont know if I'll be able to get it again... It should get released for sale again soon, as someone tried to 'frame' Simply Slim...so they're just doing their research, trying to find the culprit, and then they are going to get it registered by the MCC, and then all should be ok. Otherwise I'll have to find someway to get it...
Soooo I officially start taking it tomorrow... I'm soooo excited!!!
Hubby & I are going away with friends this weekend to our plot on the Vaal River... so excited about that too... I seriously need to rest! I'm trying to get half day off from work on thursday, and full day on friday, so that we can leave thursday afternoon... Yay! Long weekend!!! x
I'm going to log off now...
Till tomorrow...x

woMAN Down
I haven't blogged since last week sometime.... and it's not like I have alot of time now. Still at work...
But I'll do what I can.
The ABC diet was a total flop...its not that I didn't manage or that I couldn't...i just didn't have time to track my calories, etc... Life just happened! We are crazy busy at work! I guess its a good thing... but still... I have no time for anything! And when I get home, its time to make dinner for the man, or just relax and pass out...lol
We got a new puppy on friday... A Jack Russel. Born on the 15th November '09. Sooo cute, but sooo naughty. It's to be expected though, as it's in their nature. Hubby's wanted one since we've been together, so I'm glad we finally got her... we named her Joey.
This weekend we had another Pool Party! OMG!!! Talk about hectic!~ I'm not even sure how many people were there...but seriously...it was big. I didn't really enjoy myself as much as i could have though, because some people arrived(invited by others), and really spoiled it for me. Drank booze that they never bought... stole booze, wanted to cause fights, etc...
I went wild that night though... Still felt the consequences up until last night... but im feeling much better!!! Thank goodness! haha!
I placed my first order today for Simply Slim... my friend ordered, and then I got me a box too... so I can't wait until that arrives. Apparently it's the miracle weight-loss tablet. Well we'll see...
Hubby went for an interview this morning at a big company... doing what he loves, Draughting. He will know on monday if he got the position or not. But it sounds very promising...
We are also planning a weekend away... for next weekend. Not sure who to invite though... so scared people feel left out...which is not what I want... It'll be fun though... Next week its my anniversary, and obviously Valentine's Day...so it's the perfect time for a breakaway...
I'm gonna wrap this blog up for now... I will try my best to blog a bit everyday, even if its just a small little something..haha!
Much love...
But I'll do what I can.

Hubby went for an interview this morning at a big company... doing what he loves, Draughting. He will know on monday if he got the position or not. But it sounds very promising...
We are also planning a weekend away... for next weekend. Not sure who to invite though... so scared people feel left out...which is not what I want... It'll be fun though... Next week its my anniversary, and obviously Valentine's Day...so it's the perfect time for a breakaway...
I'm gonna wrap this blog up for now... I will try my best to blog a bit everyday, even if its just a small little something..haha!
Much love...

*DrAmA*QuEeN*
This week has been one of pure craziness... Workwise, we have been working to the bone...
I'm just praying it pays off- I can't take this stress anymore. I just cant! Broke down again this week, and the smallest things crack me further... Not fun! If i stress, I get physically ill... And i saw it again this week - my stomach was upset for the better part of the week.
Had a braai with friends last night & our place. Was great - but went overboard... too much booze, and and and.... stayed up all night with my cuz & my other friend, while, Bj slept, and our other friends in their room. Had to take my friend home at 5.30am this morning so she could get ready for work. hmm wasn't in a good state to drive - but did pretty well. haha
Had a huge fight with my aunt today. I cannot believe what a selfish & self righteous bitch she is. It's about that gym cardio equipment my mother swapped with her for her health walker...
Now, i was upset about it when the whole 'swap' thing happened because I used it more than anyone in my whole family did. I thought i would have first option to get that cardio equipment. But anyway - the deal was that after a yr or so, when they're bored, they'll swap back. So, we asked if we could swap back a few months ago, and there were always excuses... so today, my mom spoke to my aunt, and my aunt said my mom must speak to my uncle about it, she's not getting involved. So my mom did. My uncle apparently pulled every excuse out why not to swap back, which my mother kept backing up with other facts of her own. And when he saw he wasn't winning - he told her that my dad owes him money for a gate he put up yrs back for them. You know what's the funny thing about this whole part.... my uncle NEVER even finished the gate - my dad had to. And anyway, that deal was made between him & my dad, so it had nothing to do with what was going on with the exercise equipment.
So the verdict was this - my dad could keep the 1500 that he owes my uncle, and my uncle will pay him another 500 for the cardio equipment. My parents paid about 5000 for that. Where's the logic??? They're fucken thieves. *sorry for the language, but I am very upset and hurt! And I did say this was my 'venting' space, didn't I?* lol
So then I sms'd my aunt, and this is the rough convo:
(Aunt=A)
Me: 'I am so disgusted & disappointed right now.To think that your own family can turn on you like that. It makes me sick to the core. Well that's it from me. Take Care'
A: 'Pardon me, but what does this have to do with you?'
Me: 'I could ask the same.What does this have to do with Uncle D?'
A: 'Your mom/dad owes D money, so I must find out both stories before butting in'
Me: 'Oh, money for the gate was never even finished, leaving my dad to do it. Funny that. I know alot more than you think I do. Atleast its not us that will have to answer to the big man one day.'
A: 'According to me, this book is closed.'
Me: 'Oh yes it is. And you'll never see me again.'
A: 'Always the drama queen, that has to have the last say... 25??? Hard to believe.'
Me: 'Well it must run in the 'family'.
*****
And that was it... can you believe it??? I'd rather be a 'Drama Queen' than be selfish & self righteous. You know - im tired of it. I'm writing them off. They mean nothing to me. I'm sooo tired of people walking over my parents and me. They don't deserve it. My parents do their best to help anyone who is in need of help. And it's like there is people with knives around every corner, just waiting to stab it in their backs. I have decided F#*K that! I will not keep quiet anymore. I will stand up to everyone and anyone who treats my family unjustly, I will not hold my mouth... Where everyone else is too scared to say something, I will be the person to say it!
Come on now? Is that really wrong of me? I don't think so...
You know - my mom is nothing like her sister - she is caring, unselfish, honest, always there to help at the drop of a hat, and just one of the best people i know. Some of the few traits, her sister doesn't have. Her sister takes after their mother.... everything is always about 'me, me, me, me, me and what more can I and everone else do for ME' - how can one live with their conscience being like that. Self bloody righteous. It disgusts me, and sickens me to the core.
Well, it's over now -
I had such a lazy day - slept from about 10ish till 3.30... and feel like sleeping some more... haha! My perfect saturday!
I weighed in this morning - thought I would take a chance. After all the booze last night, after eating a boerewors roll for breakfast cos I was soooo hungry, and with a full bladder.
The scale showed me that I was 0.6kgs down. OMG! Shocker - but sooooo happy! I'm trying so hard.
I became an agent this week for the miracle weightloss tablet - Simply Slim. So excited to get this going. People are losing crazy amounts of weight on it. Mr South Africa lost 3.5kgs in his first 2 days.(during this week) It has a 92% success rate - the 8% only going to those that have problems such as diabetes, or thyroid, etc... Check the site out... www.simplyslim.co.za
The nice thing about it - is it forces you to drink a minimum of 3litres of water per day... which keeps your body hydrated, you don't lose water weight, so what you lose is pure fat. It speeds up your metabolism with no drastic changes to your dietary as well as your exercise habits. I'm going to be starting on it month end too. I'm sooo excited. It's a little pricey. Going at R590 for a months supply of 30 tabs - but it is soooo worth it. It also comes with a 7month guarantee. If you don't lose in 7 months - you'll get a full refund. Now what diet product does that?? None. Says something doesn't it.
If anyone of you live in SA and would like to order some to try - please let me know.
Ok, I'm going to browse some blogs now - for inspiration... Have a great weekend lovelies...
*Drama Queen - signing out... Haha! ;-)

I ended up being the shoulder to cry on for alot of my friends that night though...found out one of my friends also battles with an ed, and that she SI's too... sooo sad, but yet comforting to know that I'm not the only one in my circle of friends. I havent SI'd for years though...but the Ed, well we wont even go there...
The only part that gets me down about partying is that when I drink, I feel the need to binge on all types of crap the next day! And I can't help myself.
I couldn't even weigh-in this morning, as I left my digital scale at my parent's place cos my mom wanted to get an accurate weight to see if she's on the right track with her diet.
Brought it home today, but left it in my car(blonde)...so now I'm gonna have to get it first thing in the morning, bring it in, then see what's the damage.
Did sooo well today - well it started off that way. Had breakfast(Weetbix), then 1.5 medium banana's for a snack... then didn't eat til dinner time. All i wanted for dinner was a cuppa-soup, but ended up having about 4bites of a lamb chop(no fat), and some chips. So that took my calorie intake to something like 670 odd. Not impressed!
I've set myself a goal - by the 30th(the next Pool Party), I want to have lost atleast 5kgs... I think that's pretty do-able...well even if it isn't, it will just have to be.
One of my friends noticed on saturday that I've lost some weight, and when I see them again next saturday, I want her and others to notice how im dropping this fatazz!
It makes me feel good! I need this. I thrive on compliments...
My cousin is spending the night by me tomorrow so that we can plan our bday party coming up in March/April. She's turning 21, and I'm turning 25.
We decided to throw a huge combined thing. So after work, I'll fetch her, then go home - and we can plan every little detail of our party. It's soooo exciting.
This is really a big year for me. My grandfather passed away in 2004, and he left me an inheritance that will only be released to me on my 25th... I've waited so long!
Don't get me wrong - before he died, I never even knew I was in his will. We thought it was just my father, as he was an only child. But turns out, he split his possessions between the 5 of us(mom, dad, sis, bro & I), and his closest friend at that time.
I was only allowed to apply to my trust for things like my studies(which helped so much), and my car(which I bought straight out the box, and owe nada on it)... so he really helped us alot!
I miss him you know - and my grandmother who passed on a yr or 2 before him... They divorced when my dad was 2... but they were the best grandparents ever!
Work was not too bad today - was crazy busy though because I had to get alot of things done before I could go to my Pastel training at 1... ended up moving to 2...
I do soooo many jobs in my dads/hubbys company...We actually worked it out the other day, if I got paid what I was worth, it would almost amount to a 6 digit number monthly...lol. Crazy...
But we are building this business...Its only been up and running since September, so I must just be patient.
I'm gonna end this post...time for bed. I can't anymore!

In Demand, for a change...
I've been quiet for a few days... just haven't had the time to post - but I'll update quick.
I went yesterday(friday) morning for a 2nd opinion on my lower back pain, etc as i was still so sore and couldn't take it anymore. After more tests, etc, turns out I have a bladder infection that went into my kidneys- kidney infection. Atleast now, I'm on the right medication, and am on my way to feeling alot better.
Last night, a friend and her new bf came over - had such an awesome time. Braaied, went through 3litres of Wine between her and myself, lol, danced, played a bit of guitar hero, etc. It was really great!!! Looks like we'll be visiting alot more, as her bf and my hubby get along really well. which is awesome! I said in the beginning of the year - this is the year for NEW friendships...and its happening!
Today we're having a pool party at my place from 2ish with a few of our friends. So it's gonna be another alcoholic-calorie fest - bang goes my calorie restricting. But i will do my best to make up for it afterwards.
You know, last year, it was always hubby & I doing the inviting - wherever we went - clubs, or if we were just having a house party, etc. No one really invited us out. But so far, this year, everyone is inviting us to parties, etc. We are in demand for some or other reason. Maybe it's got to do with the fact of our new friendship circles that we're in. Real friends that we have made. Not people who say they are friends, but turns out they just want something from us. I like it!
Now to just lose this damn weight, so that I don't feel out when the camera clicks.... All these hotties and then the blob! It's so true. I'll post some pics of my cousins welcome back party we had last week - then you'll see. My friends are gorgeous!
Anyway, time for me to end this post - have to get ready for the party this afternoon.

A Shattering Heart
Wow! Look at the time. I haven't had a chance to even think about blogging today.
It's 20h51 and I'm still at work. Fun! We are busy with a truck wrap that the guy is fetching tonight. The joys of working in the printing industry. :-/
I got my blood test result back today - and guess what? It's negative. Could've guessed~! Story of my life. Ok, by rights, it is still early - but I am taking this as a solid negative! I'm so tired of being let down. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
The gynae said I must wait to see if my cycle comes this month or not - which is another week or so - if not, back for tests. Then if it's negative again - she's putting me on something to force my cycle. Tired does not even begin to describe how I am feeling about this topic.
My back and stomach is still killing me - and no hint as to what the cause is...
Enough about that - On the work side of things, things are picking up nicely. I'm just tired of hubby's attitude. He's always negative. (We work together - bought into my parents company).
It's as though he's getting worse. I just wish he could try see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not far away. I think it's just because he's financially under stress... I'm tired of playing 'middle man' between him & my parents. Trying to stick up for him, as well as them.
He is not an easy man. Some of you ladies think your men are difficult, lol - well a week in my shoes, and you'll be running! No jokes.
Diet-wise, things are going pretty well. From last Monday morning until yesterday morning - I lost 3kgs(6.6lbs). Not bad for my first week back into the swing of things. I'm limiting myself to no more than 500cals - if more, its all negative cals, but not by much.
I need to make up a point system for myself - so I can keep track of how I'm doing. Haven't had time to exercise at all yet. Thats my downfall - but it will happen! Working on it. I also need to drink more water...another downfall!
Watch this space...
Soooo tired. Going to try finish my work up and head home.
Sweet dreamz everyone.

Surprise Surprise!
I had a terrible night last night. I had such lower abdominal cramps as well as lower backache. I think I only fell asleep around 2am. So this morning I thought I better get it checked out as my cysts are forever giving me nonsense.
My gynae did an internal sonar - apparently my endometrium is very swollen, which could indicate an early pregnancy or that I'm about to start my cycle. No! I'm not due for another week and a half, and my cycle is so long and irregular anyway - so the gynae suspects an early pregnancy(as I had a funny cycle last month) . Did the whole blood test thing - so I must phone in to get the result after 11am tomorrow. She says, even if it shows negative, there's still a chance because its still early. (I would only be 2 weeks or so). She ruled out bladder infection, other infection, other tum probs, & there's no cyst in sight.
I'm tired of this emotional rollercoaster. We've been trying(TTC) for about 18months now.
Everytime I get my hopes up, they get shattered. I'm really trying not to, but deep inside it's so difficult - I'm really hoping that this is the end of my little infertility spell, and it means some kind of joy will be brought into hubby & my life very soon.
I've waited patiently(sometimes impatiently) for so long - even watching my younger sister bring the first grandchild into our family recently. That hurt a little - ok a lot, as she isn't married, the boyfriend isn't in a stable job, they don't have their own place, etc, and here I am, happily married, we've both got stable jobs, we don't owe on our stunning house, neither do we owe a cent on our cars...and yet we can't add a beautiful little being into our family.
Don't get me wrong - I love my sister so much, and I love my little nephew to bits... He wasn't a mistake! Life happens! God put him here for a reason. Sometime's I just don't understand why things play out the way they do.
That's why deep down I am secretly, silently hoping, that this is the end of our struggle - but if it isn't, then I'll just have to pick myself up and carry on. In His Time, they say - not our own.
I will see how things go during the day - a bit busy at work. Might post a bit later.

A lazy Sunday...
Well, now that I've gotten to my first blog post, I have to think a bit... LOL.
I'm not in a very good place at the moment. It feels as though life is just one big mess right now. The only thing good in my life, is my wonderful husband. He really tries his best! He really loves me, and I love him more than anything in this whole world!
A little bit of background; Before I met my hubby, I went through a lot of traumatic events - I won't say alot about that now, as it might come out later in my blog posts as I try and work through my disordered thinking. I was diagnosed with PTSD and was put on very strong anti-depressants. When I met him, I decided to go cold-turkey, and take myself off of them. I suppose you could say that I thought If I was still on them, maybe he would think that he wasn't making me happy. Stupid, I have now realised. Anyone knows that one has to ween themselves off anti-depressants.
Things were going really peachy, they still are. But as I go through daily struggles with certain things, as all of us humans do, I find myself battling - and wishing that I could cope a bit better. Sometimes it seems that the smallest things cause me to sink a bit deeper back into that deep, dark pit of depression, and I don't know how to pull myself back out.
I've cried a few times this week, which shows me something is not right.
I feel as though I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. That is why I decided to start a blog, and see if maybe I can release some of my built up tension/feelings.
Now that you've read my first blog - you might understand things a bit better, as well as understand certain blogs to follow.
Now for some general banter - Wow, are we having such a lazy Sunday or what? haha! I love it! We really need it! My cousin had a Welcome back Party at her place from about 2pm yesterday. It was fab! Saw some of my old friends that I havent seen in ages. It's great that our friendship circle is coming together again. Hubby & I left at 8ish. He wasn't feeling well & neither was I. I think it's all the stress that we're going through at the moment.
I started my diet again as of Monday, and I've done very well so far. I've lost 2.8kgs this week, which I think is a great start! I've decided that I'm tired of being the 'fat' one in my group of friends. I'm just tired of everything to do with being overweight. I got to a nice weight just before I met my hubby... but then after meeting him, I was forced into recovery and gained so much weight. I also found out when we started trying for children, that I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome...which causes infertility. So I'm insulin resistant, and have been on this crazy dose of meds to try get my body right, which also added to the weight gain.
Anyway 2010 is the year for ME! The year I get the body I want! I'm doing it for ME! I'm doing it for my sanity!
I better get going!
I know it's belated, but Happy New Year to you all! May all your dreams & aspirations come to pass!
