Welcome to My World

You might be wondering why I chose such a title for my blog?
There is a lot of things people don't know about me... I have a lot of 'inward' struggles that I go through day-to-day. I'm sure most people do. But I need a release place; a place I can go to when I feel 'under the weather', a place where no one can judge me, a place where I can feel safe. And so I've created this little place.

Thanks for taking a bit of time out of your day, to take a step into my head... x

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...
