August-September 2010 Moms

Thanks for the Reminder Janine...

Then ladies we have to narrow the dates down to 12/13th of November.

our place is available and the kiddies can do the whole swimming pool thing

Let me know if youre interested

ps, if the JHB girls are still planning a meet - my teambuilding has now been confirmed for 18-19 Nov - they say it finish 9am on saturday, but no idea if that is when we leave there (wherever 'there' is) or when we arrive back here.

we are 34 people just on my team - so hope its going to be fun

Hi gals!

The much anticipated Farewell is finally here and my nerves are shot!!!!!
Abs went for her brow wax yesterday, took it like a real lady! Pls pls let all my girls transition into womanhood this easily!
Tha infamous dress is finally finished....4am...and I just went to get the last bit of things. My bestie is going to take some studio pics of her and the date at 4 and then we all gather at his house (did I mention it's the Dominee's son she's going with?)

Grace got a play date today and tomorow, so she wouldn't feel too left out.

I hear u guys on the weight issue! I still got 5kg's to go, my bum and thighs are skinnier than ever, but the tummy and DDDDDD boobs is tipping the scale in the wrong direction!

Robyn - that tummy pouch is ridiculous to get rid of - dieting won't do a thing for that. You need to exercise REALLY hard (which really - where does a working mom find time to do that!!) A friend of mine is super skinny, like a size 30, but she STILL has the tummy pouch from carrying twins. Guess what she told me - she has to TUCK her tummy into her pants so that it doesn't hang over - like SERIOUSLY!!!! I said, then I'd rather be fat!!!

But, what I saw on the scale on Wednesday REALLY shocked me, so I need to do something.

Hi Ladies
TGIF!!

I totally hear you about the weight issue
I'm also pretty much at my pre-preggie weight, but still need to lose 10kgs to be at my 'ideal weight'
But I just cannot get rid of the little tummy pouch
I finally told DH that I'm trying Laser Lipo last night ( )
He tried his darndest to make me feel guilty about trying that instead of gyming hard and dieting
But I tried the 5 day a week, 4 week bootcamp, and even that didn't help with my tummy - we try to eat well, and I really struggle to find time to go to the gym, so what must I do???!!!!!
I said I'll try 2 session and see how it goes - of course he mumbled something about it not working....
But he goes to the gym almost every day (finishes work at 15h30 and gym is on his way!)
He weighs less and is more 'ripped' now than when we first got married (I'm of course the opposite!)
But guys just don't understand that it's different for us women - esp if we have weight to lose, it's not easy!!
Aaarrrggghhh that's what I think of weight!

Sho Janine - your Job sounds brilliant... and i am sure you must be overjoyed moving back neat to your MIL...

BabyK - I hope John gets better soon! Glad to hear all went well with DH's friends!

Flowergirl - yeah i must confess i also do the bottle in the crib at night now (most nights) but K doesn't fall asleep while drinking, when she finishes the bottle i take whatevers left out the crib and leave a bottle of water in the crib.

I hear you guys on the wight think i am feeling it too... and with K i am seriously kepy busy, but somehow it just stays there!

BK - good luck with the job hunt!! What I noticed with mine is - if the agent already submitted your CV to the company, then another agent usually wont send it (they actually asked me which companies I've already been sent to - had quite a few 'duplicates').

We are moving ourselfs - just too short notice (and budget) for a moving truck. We are using FIL's trailer, and my dad is also coming through with a bakkie and trailer.

DH's plan for next weekend is simple - him AND baba will most likely just stay over by his parents And it sounds like I will be coming back Saterday morning (listening to chats about previous years' trips) - so its not a whole day thing. Biggest issue would have been transport, DH has a bike, so FIL would have had to drop baba off in any case - now that we will be so close, its not an issue anymore, but sure he will still stay there, or leave baba there alone...

ps, just got our snacks - sandwiches, and platter with meatballs and chicken - yummy... I'm going to SUFFER once I finally start dieting... (and I need to lose at least 15kg )
