big fat loser take 2

weight lossA few months ago when The Biggest Loser was starting on TV we had a biggest loser weight loss challenge on All for Women. The challenge ran for 12 weeks, and the winner was to receive $100 as well as the satisfaction of hopefully losing some weight. It started off well with lots of people interested in joining in, but in the end there was only Kay and I left. I was crowned the winner after losing 6kg and got to keep my money..score!

After a discussion on Plurk with Rah who is also trying to lose weight at the moment we decided to challenge each other to a Bloggest loser challenge. It seems I can only lose weight when competing against others LOL.

So tomorrow the challenge starts, everyone is welcome to join in!

Rules are easy, weigh in will be on Sundays, so the first week is a bit of a warm up, so you can jump in when you can. The challenge will run for 12 weeks, starting tomorrow, the 7th July.

To join in, just make a post about the challenge and leave a comment and I will link to you from the challenge page (work in progress) In your post let us know your goals for the challenge and how you hope to achieve them. You don’t have to reveal how much you weigh if you don’t want to…just how much you wish to lose and your loss each week

My goal for the 12 week challenge is to lose 8kg. My plan will me similar to my previous gym program. It will be a little modified for the next few weeks as we are currently on 2 weeks school holidays, so it makes it hard to get there everyday. Also packing and the stress of moving will hopefully help to lose some kg too.

So come on..don’t be shy. Join Rah and I. Patric has desinagted herself cheer squad :D

random kid funnies

Is it all kids, or just boys that love sour lollies..no matter how gross they are! Of course I love buying them for the entertainment value. And seeing how many he can jam in at once!

He was waiting at school to go on an excusrion this week, and I caught him dashing off to the toilets foaming at the mouth. Of course I had to make him stop..suck it some more and let Mummy take a pic. “Your going to blog that aren’t you mum?” of course!

King Henry’s Court

death to all monkeys!Yesterday I went out with Mum and sister to the markets at Penrith. Nothing overly exciting to be bought there..but O.M.G the monkey jackets were everywhere..oh how I hate those bloody things! Seems nearly every man, woman and child in the area has one…great feelings of rage come over me when I see them!

After the markets we went off for lunch at King Henry’s Court, a cafe come gift shop set in a 1860′s church in Penrith.

This place is unbelievably crazy. Gift shop is a bit of an understatement. The place is jam packed to the rafter with crapola. All the walls and even the roof are covered in stuff!

You really can’t believe how much stuff they crammed into this little place, then manage to have a restaurant in amongst it all. The food is pretty good too.
