DAY LIGHT SAVING

Day light saving is back with us once again, had to forward the clocks by one hour one Sunday morning, which was good for me as I did a night shift at the hospital that night so instead of a 10 hours shift it was a nine hours.

When day light saving came into affect last year I was all for it but now not sure whether I like day light saving or not, we get enough day light without it. I like getting up early in the morning and now at 5.00am it is dark and come evening about 7.30pm, night has just fallen. I don't think it should take 3 years for us to decide whether we want it or not - 1 year is enough for us to make the decision. I think my vote will be no for day light saving.

PS: Weighed in this morning just lost over 1/2 kilo was hoping for a bit more weight to come off but hey slowly slowly, so in 2 weeks have lost 2.8 kilos. I am happy, feel really good in myself, I have more energy now and I am take multi vitiams - which I think I needed. STILL A LONG WAY TO GO! BUT SLOWLY AND SURELY GETTING THERE!!

KATE CEBERANO HEADING OUR WAY

My favourite aussie singer Kate Ceberano will be playing in our town for the Golden Gift Weekend. I love her music, she has a fantastic voice, exotic looks and I have always admired her.

Us girls in the office are ecstatic that she is coming - we can't wait. When John told us that he got Kate Cerberano for June long weekend next year we were like teeny boppers, jumping for joy.

WA SPORT & REC INDUSTRY AWARDS

Ladies of the night! - Kelly & Micheala all glammed up ready for the awards night

You little beauty we won!

Kelly & Micheala attended the WA Sport and Rec Industry Awards night held at the Burswood Entertainment Complex last Friday night. Kelly won the award for Provision of Sport and Rec to Regional WA for the Northern Goldfields Recreation Program. There were 30 applicants for the award and Northern Goldfields Sport and Rec were one of 3 finalist, the other 2 were Masters Swimming and Netball WA . Yeah - Well Done Kelly.

The amazing thing about the photos above is that the girls are in dresses and they look great - what so unusual about that you may ask - well I have never seen them in dresses before, they are pants and shorts girls.

WEIGH IN

Weighed in this morning and I have lost 2.10 kilos - I am so happy. I know it is only the first week and I have a long way to go but after seeing that amount of weight drop off in the first week has made me more determined than ever. I am enjoying drinking my shakes for breakfast and lunch and look forward to my evening meals. Your usual weight loss on this Tony Ferguson program is 1 - 1.5 kilos a week, I am sure I shred that extra weight because of giving up on my bread & beloved Ice Coffee intake, this is my second week going cold turkey and I have only once had a craving for them last week when I was reading in bed and the thought came to me on how nice it would be to have and IC right now - thank god the shops close early around here!

BAD BOY COUSINS

Report from one of the papers:

West Coast Eagles star, Ben Cousins has been released by WA police on bail after being charged with drug related offences. He will appear in court on Thursday.

Cousins has been charged with possessing a prohibited substance and failing to give a blood test. He spent several hours being questioned by major crime squad detectives at Curtain House (WA police headquarters). Cousins was driving in the Perth inner city suburb of Northbridge at about 11.30am when he was pulled over by police.

Cousins' blue four wheel drive was searched for approximately ninety minutes during which time police will alledge they found a quantity of a prohibited substance. The vehicle was later impounded.

I say:

Get rid of Ben, sack him, de-register him from AFL. In the past year he has given West Coast a bad reputation, how many chances can he have? I am sick and tired of listening to West Coast supporters saying how Benny Boy can do no wrong! If he wants to do drugs, then drop him from the team.

THE SNAKE HUNTER!

Yesterday I felt really sluggish, tired and head-achy so I went home a little early, had a few hours sleep and upon waking still did not feel any better (though they did say I would experience dizzy-ness, headaches in the first couple of days of this weight loss program, but I feel 100% better today.

Last night Andrea (The Snake Hunter) bought me over some panadol and as I walked her out to the road I noticed something slithering on the road, I screamed out "snake", Andrea being the brave person that she is, went up to the bloody snake to check it out, I am screaming out to her be careful it might bit you as she had sandals on, I said she had to kill it as I did not want it in my front yard, so I grabbed the shovel and gave to her to chop the bastard in 1/2 as she went to sliced it in 1/2 the bloody thing slithered off into the bushes. The way I carrying on- anyone would of thought there was a murder happening in our street. I know it is the season for snakes to be out about and they wont harm you if you don't harm them , and you shouldn't kill them, blah, blah blah but HEY snakes just send shivers down my spine and when people ask what sort of snake it was - my answer is always who cares what sort it was - as a snake is a snake!!

TONG FERGUSON - DO ME PROUD

I have started on the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program today - with the aim of losing 8 kilos (a kilo a week) by the 10th December.

I have for breaky and lunch one his meal replacement shakes and in the evening a palm size piece of protein plus 3 cups of vegetables which can be cooked or uncooked, plus I can snack on a piece of fruit mid morning and mid afternoon, with diet jelly which I will make as my dessert.

I have gone cold turkey on my Ice Coffee, plus Diet Coke (though I did sneak in a Diet Coke yesterday evening) as they are a no no on this program. I am not into caffeine free diet drinks so looks like the diet cordial for me and plenty of water.

Dear Lord help me survive this.

DUST STORM CHASING!

Drove down to the oval after work yesterday to do my laps, got 1/2 way down the road and I could see this humongous dust storm heading into town, got a bit scared and turned around and bolted home, by the time I got home the dust storm hit our street, I was brave and took some photos (though a little scared as I thought it would pick me up and who knows where I would of ended up, probably at the rubbish tip!

Dust storm hits

Dust storm has passed and heading out yonder!

R.I.P MAINY

Though I am not an West Coast Eagles supporter I am a proud Dockers Girl, I would like to say it has been a sad week with the news of Chirs Mainwaring's death, I was totally shocked when I heard about him last week and thought that this cannot be true. May You Rest In Peace Mainy.
