Hurry Up Woman

This morning while getting petrol I had this other woman tell me to hurry up as I was holding everyone up, she said this a few times and the old man next to me told me to sit in my car and make her wait and another woman said "how rude".....

Was I bothered no not in the lease, why because it was my sister Sandra and we like to do things like that just to see how other people will react and this morning she managed to get some people to react. I wonder if other siblings do things like this.....or are we just weird.........lol

Feeling Full

For a while I have said to Tim when I have seen on TV the adds for "fullness shakes" that I would like to give it a go.

Many years ago like around 21yrs ago I lost a lot of weight and that time I did it by haveing something similar, I had this powder that I would mix with water and drink half and hour before meals.

So when I saw these shakes in the shops I told hubby I was going to get some and give it a go and he was ok with that until he found out the price. I still got it though, the first one I tried was Super Slim and it was awful, the taste made me want to throw up. I stuck with it though the directions said to mix it with water or Soy but I switched to skim milk which made it more tolerable but not I still hated the taste, so I then took to adding some yogurt to it and that made it a lot better.

I then found Rapid Loss in at the chemist and got that one to try and it is so much nicer, I still like to add a bit of yogurt to it but I do not have to add it.

I have it half an hour before meals and when I do have my meal I don't have as much but the big difference is that after I eat a meal .........................I do not go looking for other stuff to nibble on.

A Lazy Sunday Arvo

I love lazy afternoons and today has been one of those lovely lazy Sunday arvo sitting in front of the computer blogging and facebooking and doing pretty much nothing else......I do go outside a take a short video of Little Leo riding his bike with the help of papa and then of him sitting on papas bike...........

Now the little one is feeling sick he has a temp of 39 celsius so stuck him in a cool bath and gave him some medince to bring his tempature down and he is now laying in his mums bed and she has come home to look after him..........she told be last night she is tired of feeling more like his baby sitter and not his mother. This is because why she is here I do so much for him and in one way she hates that while at the same time she loves it............

I have had a couple of Southos and Coke so feeling pretty good at the moment but that is all I wll have as I do not like to drink much.

A Name Change

I have decided it is time for a name change so this blog will now be know as Jo-Anne's Ramblings there has been no real reason for the change I just feel like doing something different and thought this blog is more about me rambling on about myself and my family.

So I have changed the name and hope it suits the blog a little more the the other name although I am a mother and nana and love being so I am starting to realise I am so much more then just that and I need the name of the this blog to reflect that. When I thought about what the new name should be I thought to myself.......Jo-Anne you do ramble on a bit often about nothing and you do get side tracked when writing comments so decided that Jo-Anne's Ramblings would be the new name.

Big and Beautiful

Ok I am a big woman does that make it hareder for people to like me or love me...............................I think not

That said it is something I worry about from time to time mostly when I have people commenting on how big I am and that I should lose weight.........like tell me something I don't know.

My husband has a habit of telling me that I have a fat ass and when I said to him and Kathy do either of you think I need a make over...........his answer was well you could lose weight that would make you look better..............

I have never thought of myself as beautful or pretty I think I am just an average looking woman, however Tim thinks I'm beautiful well he use to and I think he still does. I just wish he would tell me occasionaly along with when I ask how I look I would like him to say something other then ok or fine.............................

I'm Fat

Why am I fat?????????

Is it because I am lazy, maybe it is or is it because I overeat, yes and no..........................

I do not eat large meals never have I am just not that type of person, I do however have a tendency to graze through the day. This is something I would try not to do but I would eat a meal then around half an hour or so later I would find myself in the kitchen looking for more food and I would say to myself what the hell are you doing Jo-Anne you're not hungry. Then 5 or 10 minutes later I am doing the same thing and this will continue till I end up eating something.

Ok there is also the fact that I do not get off my fat ass and do much in the way of exercise and I know I have to change that........I just have no motavation to exercise.......

I use to walk every day and eat right but it didn't stop me getting fat, which I think is part of the problem as I feel that in the back of my head I am thinking why bother it doesn't work............Common sense tells me different but those thoughts are still there.

I know what to do and what type of food I should be eating but at times I just don't......................I am off to see a dietitian on Wednesday but what can she tell me that I do not already know.............................
