Mermaid 2006

Had to put up with everyone at work telling me I look like sh!t and why was I in the office today. That's the problem with having strict timelines for month end figures...

WTF ... Are you sick? or just lacking sleep/stress?

Hope you feel better ... rest up

I assume it's jetlag. Taking a transatlantic flight ain't easy.

Btw, here's a tip I've discovered for airplane food on international flights: if you request the diabetic meal, you will get somewhat clean food. However, if you request for low-fat or low-cal meals, you will get crap

Aww .. Personally I can't stand when one co-worker in particular feels obligated to tell me I look like Sh1t when I obviously feel 100 times worse ...

I wanna smack 'em upside the head for her

Thanks, Bunny. I'd like to take you up on that!!

RT, great idea. I do ask for the low cal option and just get a tray full of carbs. I like to take my own food but the flight was so long, I'd eaten it all by the time I'd got to Bangkok and then the food at the airport was either a) fast food or b) of Thai origin that I was not sure what I was getting. So plane food it was.

Something I have not told you yet is that I have some visitors coming on March 11 - IP and Nelms!!!! They are coming to Australia as part of their vacation and they asked if they could meet up with me and P. We've offered to let them stay in our apartment for the week - using it as a base for their travel. I am very excited to finally meet some of the lovely people I have contact with on this board (even though I'm now paranoid about the shape I'm in and I've only got a week to diet down, will they be disappointed in me etc. etc.)

It makes me want to reference SG's log where there was discussion about how we have made some great connections here on EF and how people just do not understand how that happens - after all it's "just an internet board". My sister even (bless her) is literally quite afraid that IP and Nelms will "steal our identities" or take everything we own because after all "we don't know them from Adam". I tried to explain but she just didn't get it. I didn't even tell my mother, she would have freaked out.

I hope to eventually meet more of you lovely ladies over the course of time. I feel blessed to have you all in my life and don't give a monkey's bum what "outsiders" think.

That's AWESOME! Give them a big hug for me!!!

OMG!!!! That's so AWESOME!!!! Make sure you give us all the dirt on them!!! (wink, wink) Just kidding - love you guys!!!!

That is way too exciting!!! Why the hell is it so hard for people to understand that SOME people on the net are ACTUALLY who they SAY they are?!?!?!? Take some pics!

Yes, it is SO awesome they're coming!!!

Thursday 2 March

Oh dear, better than yesterday but energy levels still flagging and concentration lacking. Plus tomorrow night I go away for the weekend for my brother-in-law's wedding and christening of his baby and all I need is a quiet weekend resting (wah wah wah). Bought a really nice outfit for the event though - I actually look like a lady!!!

6.30am
1 cup whites, 1 yolk
1 kiwi

9.30am
1 wholemeal roll
3oz baked ham
1 slice RF cheese
1 tomato

12.30pm
3oz chicken breast
1/2 cup applesauce

3.00pm
3 scoop whey, 2 scoop maltodextrin

6.00pm
4oz broiled salmon
2 cups broccoli
Supps

1340 cals P:45 C:33 F:22 Fiber:20 2 liters water (not enough)

No gym. I know I should STFU and train but I am just so exhausted. I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to being tired - it takes me so long to repay my sleep debt. I'll be in bed by 7pm. I feel much better for the cleaner diet.

WOW, how exciting!! I'm sure you'll all have a fabulous time and bond being the two awesome couples you are! I hope you'll be posting up what y'all are doing activity-wise and take some pictures for the rest of us. And remember if there is any vodka to be had at all, do have some in honor of me since I am there in spirit!

I have no doubt you will look beautiful in your lady-like outfit this weekend!

And don't beat yourself for being too tired to go to the gym. Take the time to sleep off the jetlag and get back to being yourself. I took a 2 hr flight to Florida this weekend with no time difference and was still too beat for a day or two to get it together to work out. There is something about travel that zaps the energy out of you. Meanwhile, the diet looks great and I see that you scrambled back on that wagon fairly quickly! Good job

How exciting!!! To meet and hang out with fellow ef members!!!!

Hi, everyone! Nelms and I are sitting here just grinning like you wouldn't believe!

We are in Thailand and getting ready to go to Sydney, Australia. Woohoo! We'll be there for a few days, and then on to Auckland, New Zealand, and then to MERMAID'S!!!!

We both miss you guys and hope you've had a great week and a wonderful weekend! We'll try to check back in a couple of days.

Mermaid and P, don't worry...your friends, mom, aunt, uncle, co-workers, neighbors, and stray animals have nothing to worry about! LOL! The only thing we'll "take" is memories and pictures!!! LOL!
