I've been banded over a year and didnt know it!

I have been soo busy lately, have finally finished my first week at tafe, and yes i admit it, i LOVE it! Maybe it is soo fun and interesting because it was only the first week? and it will get harder? who knows but i dont mind, it is something i have always wanted to do, and since loosing weight i have noticed how much more energy i have which will be a huge advantage for me there!

Monday i had OH&S stuff, that was kinda boring, but has to be done, Tuesday we made slime, that was fun, until i had to try and get it out from under my nails! haha was sooo theraputic just standing there squeezing the slime through your fingers, still warm from the hot water. We cheated, was meant to set over night, but we wanted to play with it there so added more lux soap flakes haha! But it worked, would hate to see what it looks like now tho! Wednesday was meant to be a teachers strike, but our teacher came in cos was our first class with her, was interesting learnt all the things to say to the kids, how to reword the way we talk now, so we dont say certain words like "dont" Thursday was a day off cos teacher was sick or something, and yesterday, friday we went to the park thing near tafe, had to get "natural resources from the enviroment" and then take them back and my group had to make a art experiment for children under 3. that was easy :P Just add paint haha!

Apart from tafe, my life has been going great, i have just reaslised that it has been a year on the 16th of this month since i got banded! And i am 32 kilos lighter! i would never have thought that would be possible! I have been having a acid problem lately, so went to the doctors and he gave me tablets, somac, they are great feel 99% better after the first tablet, and they are that small i could take them without any troubles! yay!!

I am sticking with my nails getting done all the time, i had them done yesterday, and i got purple french tips on them i love them! they look awesome! It is different, but soo me haha!

Mikey robins is coming to geelong next week i think it is, so i rang up and booked a seat for there, as i think it would be great to go listen to him, learn a few things that i havent heard before, as i have only read others blogs, talked within my local group that kind of thing, never been to a seminar about banding, my aunties friend is coming with me i think, she is going to be getting banded, and has asked me alot of questions about it, i have tried my best to answer, but i think this may be alot better for her.

Anyways, i have to go to the library and get a card to join up haha, i did have one but had a fine that wasnt mine, and when i rang them just then they said i dont have a membership, so i going in to get a new one :P its just across from tafe and massive so good for research!

A few goals i looking forward to!

I can actually start seeing changes in my body recently. Because some of my tops are a bit too revealing for my liking, i wear a singlet top underneat them, anyways was getting dressed today and walked down to lounge room to talk to mum, had the singlet top on, looked down and my belly is deffinatly going down! i mean, i dont have a muffin top as much now! Well not in these jeans anyway, ones that are tighter im sure i will, but im liking that alot!

I have heaps more energy, mum is liking it as i am doing heaps around the house helping out, cooking, cleaning, i even did the weeding this morning cos i was bored haha. I am babysitting tomorrow night, picking her up about 11:30 in the morning, i wish she was abit older tho so i could play with her, she is only about 9 -10 weeks old if even that but is an awesome baby to look after over night, sleeps all night no worries! By looking after taneisha, and now that im going to be studying child care, it has made me think more seriously (not that i wasnt before) about my weightloss, as i want to have children of my own some time soon, but need to lose the weight first!

No pictures yet, actually thats a fib, i have 2, but dont like them haha, i may still put them up but i may go taking some on weekend as i said last time, but who knows, if its a nice weekend will get cousin to come out, and will take taneisha to the beach or something, as long as its not cold, i could take some aorund the house, but they will be plain jane ones and i not into that much.

I still haven't thought of what to do when i get to the 40 kilos mark, but i have thought up a 50 kilos one, as i will need to save heaps for this one haha, i wanna get extensions in my hair, i think its about $500 for a full head? i have heaps of hair so they will prob charge me extra knowing my luck! When i hit my goal mark, i wanna get a motorbike license, i have always wanted one, but have been too big in my eyes to get one. A few people have told me im mad doing that, but i have always wanted it, i have lost mates from motorbike crashes, i know all about that side of it, but i still want it, i also want to get a tattoo across my lower back when i have my excess skin taken off, something like a butterfly coming out of the caccoon and flying away kinda thing, representing my new life. I am obsessed with butterflies can you tell?

Alot has been happening!

My last post was soo long ago, i forgot about my blog! Boy do i have some goss for you all!

I am now at 32 kilo's lost, i am 1 kilo off halfway and i have been banded 10 months i think, i cant really remember haha how sad is that! I think i was done in october last year? i will have to look that one up and get back to you all on that! I have been slack with the gym, i admit it, i dont like going on my own and mum is working arvo shift now so i dont go. But that is all going to change you see, i am going to make myself go as i need to shift my jelly belly!

As of monday, i will be a full time student! Oh no! I am going to study Cert 3 in Childrens Services, i have always wanted to do this since i was younger, either this or hospitality, i cant get no where with what i have with hospitality, so i am going to try this now as i beleive i will be better at this. I love kids, i always have, they just seem to be drawn to me for some reason, i dont know if that is a bad thing or a good thing?

I haven't taken any recent photos, but i am doing that this weekend if i have time, i am babysitting my cousin's daughter who is about 10 weeks old now on saturday night so will see what happens, if not this weekend then next weekend i will do it! I really need to start posting pics of my progress, which i cant see myslef but apparently everyone else can so i guess that is a good thing then!

I am liking going into shops and getting smaller clothes, its a great feeling, but i refuse to pay full price for anything in clothing now as i shrink out of them too quick now, like could last a month or so if even that, why bother paying $80 for a pair of jeans for 1 month? I still wearing my ones i bought from city chic for $10 cos they were on sale they are getting too big but i am happy to wear a belt and keep pulling them up for now! haha! i a scrooge with my money lately.

For my 30 kilos reward, i got acrylic nails on, i love them i have never had long nails well they not that long, just abit longer than the tips of my fingers, as i cant have really long nails, i couldnt type or do nothing! so i got them shortened back abit and they are alot better, but man they hurt when you break them! Hmmph! I am still thinking of what i should do for when i have lost 40 kilos, i was thinking maybe foils in hair? something like that? i dont know yet, if anyone has ideas, leave a comment, or email me if you have my email!

Anyways, that is enough of a update from me for now will post again soon, and yes i will, as i want to keep this as recent as possible now!
