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

Exhausted

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

*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! ;-)
