Oh my goodness - apologies for the time delay between posts - but unfortuantely I have been letting my workload interfere in my life!!!!
But I am slowly clawing my way back - work has not eased as such but I am coping better with it - this "recession" is certainly making things more difficult for our customers and with me being in Accounts Receivable and having to chase people for money it can be a bit of a downer being the baddie - something I do not cope with well - part of the must have everyone liking me phobia I have!!!
Anyways weight wise has been ok - I am up surprise surprise.
Feet update - have been to the podiatrist and have new inner soles which he altered slightly so now have to get my feet use to the new shape - so they are still cramping - hoping that will go soon.
Haven't walked in the morning for about two weeks so willbe looking forward to getting back to that even oif it has been very cold here in NZ.
What else was there to tell you???
Oh does anyone visit the blog www.msbitcakes.blogspot.com??? - She is in America and reports back on her meetings along with her insights and such - I personally find her interesting and lately a few things are hitting home so that had been good - go check her out and see what you think.
Anyway better continue with my to do list
Oh forgot to say I completed the mothers day walk in 44 mins - woo hoo 10 mins quicker than last year- so proud.

Update
Well I am still alive and kicking - work gets busy for me towards the end of the month so I get a bit mentally drained and just blob when at home.
I have still been walking 4 mornings a week and we have worked out the ks for it and it is 4kms for the route that we follow so that is great.
I work up a sweat as well which is even better cause I know I am working hard.
I have also been out and purchased some new walking shoes - $160.00 NZD later and am finding that my feet are cramping within the first 1km of our walk - I am off to the podiatrist tomorrow morning to talk to him about it and get him to check my inner soles I purchased from him last year to make sure that they are all ok.
I have 5km walk on Mothers day up and around Cornwall Park in Auckland so I would like to know that they are ok for that - my time last year was 54 mins so as long as I improve on that I will be happy.
Food choices for the last week or so - are so so - again stress equals crap food for me and I need to get this sorted!!!It doesn't help with the snack box right near my desk so I see it every time I get up - not sure where else we can put it but will look around the office and see
Well thats it from me for now - promise to come back tomorrow and post my weigh in and podiatrist visit

I MADE IT BACK!!!!!
Hey there bloggers!!!
I am back - boy is my job hectic at the moment and getting busier by the day.
I have discovered that I am an emotional eater and when placed under stress - I EAT!!!!!
So to combat this I am bringing work home in the evenings - not much - but the little jobs that need to be done but are time consuming at work - so that I can concentrate more on the meatier jobs with in my role.
It is getting a lot busier as we are really tightening the reigns with accounts so I need to be making sure all invoices and credits are being processed in a timely manner so the customers can't not pay them each month!!!
But enough of the boring stuff - altho it is related to the weight gain!!!!
So with that all said and done I am going to make sure I follow a few guidelines next week:
1. Track
2. Drink my Water
3. Post on the WW boards every day
4. Excercise each day
With regards to the excercise - fingers crossed my morning walking buddy is all rearing to go again next week (a few recent emotional issues for her but all sorted now)
I will also have dance class on Tuesdays which I was missing due to draining days at work!, and I am also going to get using my swiss ball - three nights a week to start with and then eventually increase it to 5 nights.
Why not 5 to start with you ask - well I have been trying to commit to that for a while now and don't so I thought start small and build up to it!!!
Ok I think that is enough for now
I promise to blog a bit more regularly from now on!!!

Update
Hi there - sorry I have been awol for the week but back at work and busy again!
Last week was a funny week as on Wednesday morning I rolled my ankle at the start of my early morning walk - ouch.
So I have had to rest that for a few days - it is much better today, so I will attempt a small walk this evening.
Anyway weight in this week (yesterday) resulted in a major kick in the pants for me!!!
A gain of 1.7kgs EEK - but it was what I needed!!!
So as of yesterday I have changed my diet around and am having a bowl of cereal in the morning instead of my egg and then a snadwich at lunch instead of my salad and lots of veges to snack on as well.
And the scales have been nice to me this morning showing a loss already - YAH!
off to work so will post again tomorrow to help keep me focused
Have a great day
Ciao

A quiet Sunday
Hey there - well it is Sunday afternoon here in NZ and I am tired.
I have been walking around for most of the day at a local event and my legs and feet are tired - I only had jandals on so no support.
Well last week on Wednesday morning I set out for my ususal morning walk at 5.45am and less than 100 steps into it I rolled my ankle!!!!
OUCH!!!!! so I have been hobbling around since, it is getting better and I am hoping by Tuesday morning I will be good for the morning walks again.
Food choices for the week, well lets wait for the scales to tell me i think!!!.

Day Five
Well the last day is here of my annual leave and hubby is home tonight!!!
This morning my friend came over to spend the school day at my place so we walked my kids to school.
Then sat down and "tried" to do some scrapbooking but did other things instead like rearrange my craft/office and utilise a shelving unit I was trying to sell on Trade me (That I don't need to now!!)
We also had yummy sushi for lunch.
She has just left as her kids finish 1/2 hour earlier than mine and she has a 20 minute drive to get home.
So I am sitting here thinking about all that the week had brought.
I managed to accomplish all bar two things on my TO DO list.
Scrapbooking and finish a piece of jewellery that I was making.
I have excercised alot
I have eaten so so
I have not been able to join the gym :{
But overall I think it was a great week.
Hubby and I are off to the CityLife Hotel tomorrow night (We had won a voucher in a raffle) so that will be nice and will have dinner out!!!.
Have a great day
Ciao
