5min at level 8 then 10 on bike. Feeling good and sore.

I am pretty slack at this blogging thing so I might try a weightless blog instead lol.

So I started about 2 weeks ago. Started at 99kg didn't get pics but weighed in at vee's on Thursday and was 96.4 woohoo and she got some photos. Might weight for the first month to get the next photo before adding it.

Today being Sunday I will start with what I ate. Monday is weigh in day and I will do measurements as well. Hopefully blogging how hard this is will keep me motivated enough to keep it off.

This week has been all over the place marissa's first week of school she seems to like it still gets sad when I leave and even cried this morning but is happy when I pick her up.
I think it will hit her next week when it's everyday. This week has only been 3 days.
Andrew seems to like his new school he told me today that it's all to easy for him and the homework is so easy he did it all in 10 minutes, might have to talk to his teacher about something more challenging :)
Noah and I are having heaps of fun hanging out. I am trying to really cherish this time with my last baby at home and hopefully try and calm him down a bit.
The weather is crazy so much rain it's scary we are pretty guttered we has to cancel our camping trip. We were so excited but better to be dry and not floating away.

I am starting back at gym next week. Doing up my own meal plan and going to do some research on the best healthy eating change for all of us I do need to cut down carbs so that will be my first challenge.

Roaring Emotions.

What a week it has been and what a week it is coming.

The retreat was so amazing. I dont even have the words to describe the amazing people, food, stories of struggle pain and intentions for our new beginings. The only words i have is support.....circle sisters.
I feel so blessed to have a sisterhood of support i know i can lean on when i am struggling and hope my they all know to call upon me when the time comes that they need a shoulder a hug or a support.

Leaving such a beautiful experience on Sunday morning to come home to my sweet little girl very sad and stressed out about starting school was horrible. She had tummy pains and the runs all sunday and monday morning and had an accident walking into school. I made sure i was the last mummy to leave and i stayed strong. As soon as i was out of those gates i let rip though. I was a mess untill i picked her up.
it was so different to when  Andrew started. He was so excited to start prep he TOLD me to go that he would be fine. Its been 6 years since he was in prep so it feels so raw and fresh all over again.
She was fine today though and was very excited to see her new friends. Made me feel alot better.

We had to cancel out camping trip......such a bummer we where all looking so forward to it but Brisbane is flooding yet again and this rain seems set in. I tell you it makes for an interesting school drop off haha.

Off to the Pead again tomorrow morning so hopefully he has some ideas to help me with my darling little devils spawn. ANd maybe he can give me some ideas on getting these children to eat. Marissa has lost weight yet again and Noah is following everything she does so when she refuses to eat so does he grrr.

Doctors say Marissa's issues are from stress.....well It is not easy getting councilling for a little girl that has been affected the way she has and feeling so stressed.......in a desperate bit to get her some councilling without sitting on these stupid waiting lists i called DOCs to try and get a referal WELL apparently when you are protecting your children know one will help to resolve issues. What a joke our health system is. Where is the victim help. I am so angry. We start private next week but the price is pathetic. I guess i am going through the anger stage now. I want to knock heads together.

Tomorrow is a big day for a special friend of mine and her beautiful family. Her Dad is having surgery to have cancer removed. They are all such caring beautiful people it make me really sad to see them have to go through this.I am sending love strenght healing and suppoet vibes to the universe to bounch back to this family.

Anyway I am off for some zzzzzzz and hopefully the rain eases up tonight otherwise kids can stay home tomorrow. I dont fancy the mayham of school drop of in the one way car park with 3 kids in the pooring rain. Wish the school would do door service haha.

PS I will figure out how to put photo's on here over the next week.

Peace out Ox

Retreat- strength, health, heal..... ~New beginning~

Today I am off on a new beginnings retreat today with some very special ladies. A sisterhood of awesomeness lol I wish all our special girls could make it. I am very much looking forward to meeting some new friends face to face, eating and learning how to make awesome yummy food and relaxing and finding myself after a very stressful few months. As of tomorrow u will be new refreshed and stressfree for myself my babies my wonderful man and my lovely friends. I need to recoup and renew the calm Alicia to be able to move my life forward in a positive direction. This retreat of help and healing will be the start. Look out kiddies your mummy will be coming home a new stronger calmer mumma. They need this as much as I do.

I have started reading a toddler taming book to help me with Noah. I am starting the reduction of processed foods and going to open up my domestic goddess and put on my apron and start making everything from scratch. I am a little scared cause I have no idea how to start or cook lol but you have to start somewhere.
Till next time peace out oxox

After 4 days of being a domestic goddess today I feel crap and tired. u have cleaned the while kitchen and dinning room top to bottom In and out of cupboards. Chucked out lots and cleaned areas that probably haven't been cleaned since my mum left 15 years ago. Its starting to look normal again. Once the walls are clean and painted it will look brand new. I have so many awesome Reno ideas. Stephy showed up to help me today and we got the main kitchen wall and doors clean now all that's left for today is windows and one ledge and kitchen is ready for a make over woohoo.

My eBay wedding dress showed up today and it is soooooooo beautiful. Needs some adjusting and maybe some added bling but I am really pleased with the quality for the price. And it was supper fast postage.
Taking it to be hidden tomorrow :) don't want B finding it. I want to loose some weight though so hope it can be aultered ok if I do.

This week is sad and miserable :( its my baby girls last week before starting her journey to big school. Prep has no idea what they are in for lol. I am really sad and so is she. I wish I had the patience to home school I am going to miss her so so much. But I must admit I am excited to be spending one on one time with Noah.

It's a big year for Andrew as well starting at a new school is hard but he is such an awesome sweet boy he should make friends quickly. I was on year 5 when I met my beautiful best friend Tamara so I hope the move benefits him. My little smarty.

Anyway back to do these windows and ledge so I can chill out and snuggle with my babies.

What lies ahead.......no one knows.

Today was a challenge.
This morning Noah had a peads appt about his behavior and social skills. He had a huge meltdown while there and doctor picked up on things I didn't even look for :( he agrees it is a different behavior and is going to talk with daycare and the other doctors that have worked with us over the last few months. We go back in 2 weeks and I am hoping for some sort of guidance for my poor boy he is such a beautiful boy but can't cope with high stimulant situations.

Then I came home to a phone call from someone very close to my heart who as a mother and partner has a very tough choice to make which will change her life forever. I can't get her out of my head can't sleep. Can't wait to give her a cuddle.

In better news this afternoon was lots of fun with the kids we got the slip and slide out and I hosed them down on the trampoline with soap suds to make it slippery until the hose was turned on me by my smallest boy lol. The poor dog had to run for cover to hide from the boy who thinks wetting everything in sight is funny.
