What's The Go With Clothing Sizes?
I am totally over trying to guess what size I am.
Yesterday I went shopping for some cheap work clothes and I mean really cheap, $15 for two Polo shirts.
Now I would usually say that I am a size 14, only since I lost my weight, but here I was buying a 2XL T/shirt. The only reason I even looked at this size was because that was all there was left.
I held it up and measured it around my bust and I thought ooh my god this is going to fit.
When I got it home and tried it on, shock horror, it actually was a firm fit.
Now we all know where it was made, I really don't have to say, but how can anyone really say that they are a size 10,12 or 16 or whatever. the sizes are all over the place.
I would take a 2XL as being a size 20 or more. Why is there not a regulation on measurements for each size.
I measured this T/shirt against a size 14 that I already had at home and it was slightly bigger, I mean about a half centimeter, wow, not what you would expect.
So I have decided that size does not matter, it means nothing. I am going to try clothing on before I even think about the size of it.

Flood Devastation
What a very unusual five to six months of weather this country has had.
I just wanted to say that my family and myself are thinking of you all during these disastrous floods.
To those who have lost loved ones, our deepest sympathy goes out to you.
I have already donated some money at our local bank but I will be heading back there tomorrow to donate again.
To those of us that are not effected by the floods and have not donated as of yet, please don't hesitate, just a couple of dollars will be helpful I'm sure.
As I am writing this it has not stopped raining and I mean heavy, really heavy. I just travelled from Adelaide today and there was so much water on the roads it was dangerous. I have not seen so much water fall from the sky in such a short period of time.
I feel this country needs to pull together at this difficult time and I believe that as true blue aussies, we will.

Exercise Has Never Been So Much Fun
Yer, really.
You think I'm joking don't you, but I'm not.
I have found the best thing yet that is enjoyable but yet gives you a workout.
WII game console. I bought one for my daughter for xmas and I haven't stopped using it since. Told you I was still a kid at heart.
The first time I played, I played non stop for 2 and half hours and boy was I tired when I finished. The next day my arms where that sore from playing baseball that you'd think I played a real game.
Boxing is just as bad, my husband keeps telling me that I don't have to try and really hit them but makes no difference I still go in hard.
Best workout ever from doing something fun. You really don't realise how hard you've been working out until a couple of hours later when your puffing madly and sweat is running down your face.
I have bought her the wII fit Plus for her birthday middle of January, apparently that is suppose to be great.
If you haven't had a go of one try it, you really will enjoy it.
All I can say is bring it on!!!!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION-"LOSE WEIGHT"
2010 has nearly come and gone.
2011 will be upon us before we know it.
Let's make 2011 the best yet.
New Years resolutions, be nice to everyone. Treat others how you would like to be treated.
Keep on losing weight, even if it's just a little at a time.
As you can see I've got a few, probably could add a few more, but hey, For me the second one will be the biggest and hardest to keep.
I do remember making the same one last year and I do believe that I may have succeeded with it but I need to keep going and just keeping it off will be the struggle.
So to all,
Have a HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
May 2011 bring happiness and good times.
