You know you are getting old when…

On February 23, 2011, in Shopping, by

..you enjoy nothing more than going shopping for household items.

We went to the store at the weekend to look for some modern dinner ware and I was super excited about it. I kept nagging my husband asking if we could go yet, like a little kid does to it’s parents when they want to go to the park or something.

I’m only 30, but I feel like I am 49 sometimes.

In my defense for the first time in my life I am living in a house that I own and plan to be in for many years to come, I’ve never really set up home before because I have always known I won’t be where ever I was living for more than a few years at most.

Wish I had checked Corelle before heading out to buy some though, they have lots of great products that are right up my street and even with the shipping cost they are actually less expensive than the items we did end up buying at the weekend.

Oh well, I will know for next time and I think I am going to order a few other bits and bobs from them right now any way :)

Getting the hang of this!

On February 18, 2011, in Blogging, Internet, Webmaster, by

I think I am getting the hang of this whole blogging thing, when I first started a few months ago I actually found it really hard to think of things to write about and I would spend days and days thinking about it before hand — now I feel like I can just write off the cuff and little things I wouldn’t have dreamed would be something worth blogging about now make for interesting stories.

I am still not at the same level as a lot of bloggers I see who blog a few times a day, but I think I am getting there :)

When I win the lottery

On February 12, 2011, in gaming, Health, by

If I ever win the lottery…no no…wait…I mean when I win the lottery I am buying a turbo air hockey table, among other things. I am going to live in a big mansion with 20 rooms including a gym, swimming pool room, nightclub and games room :)

It may be a boring and predictable ‘If I win the lotto’ dream, but whatever :)

She’s done it!

On February 10, 2011, in TV, by

Australia officially has it’s first female biggest loser – I never would have picked Lisa as the winner back at the start of the season, in fact I seem to remember thinking that she’d likely be an early boot. But she did it, she beat off the 3 boys with her in the final to take the crown – and she absolutely deserved it.

Great lady :)

I really enjoyed the finale this year even though I didn’t enjoy the series as a whole nearly as much as normal. It was nice to see some old faces trotting out to show us how well they are all doing – but I am ‘friends’ with a lot of these guys on Facebook and let me tell you the selections were very, well selective. A lot have gained weight back – more than they had to start with in several cases!

I was also shocked that three of the contestants had actually gained weight since leaving Camp Biggest Loser and finale night – doesn’t bode well does it?

Maternity Clothes

On February 9, 2011, in fashion, Shopping, by

I think it’s pretty awesome that maternity clothes are now a lot cooler and funkier than they used to be. I remember several years ago getting asked to help a friend find some trendy stuff and really struggling – I always get asked to help people find things online, I am seen as the shopping/Internet expert in my group of friends which I rather enjoy — it’s nice to feel needed for something :)

These days it seems that retailers have finally got with the times and realised that not every pregnant woman wants to wear a maternity dress that looks more like a tent than something she would have loved to were a few months ago!

Just because you are pregnant doesn’t suddenly mean you stop caring about fashion and looking good. Though I am sure a lot of women do prefer the big comfortable style maternity dresses that are out there — not all do and those ladies should be catered to as well.

I know loads of sites now that do funky maternity clothes such as Due Maternity, so on the odd occasion someone asks me I already know where to tell them to go without having to spend gosh knows how long surfing the Internet first.

Good times :)

New SHOES!

On February 3, 2011, in Shopping, by

I found out today that my favourite shoe store is closing down, nooooooooo. I have shopped there for years because they sell awesome and most importantly, cheap, shoes.

I got 6 pairs from them recently, yeah you heard me 6 pairs. 2 pairs of boots, some slippers, some court shoes and wellies.

I only wish I had more feet to put them all on.

I was searching around earlier for other shoe stores, in hopes of finding somewhere that offers a similar range for a similar price and I came across a neat looking site — I headed straight for their sale section which is what I always do whenever I go to an online store, I do love my bargains, and they have loads of designer shoes in the sale — yay. I never ever buy designer shoes unless they are a killer price because, well because frankly I cannot afford to and I don’t think they are worth it at full price, but I would buy a pair a day if I could afford to!

They have every thing from gorgeous Chloe boots and Micheal Kors heals to sexy steve madden ballet flats.

I might just have to get some stuff ordered, see how fast they arrive and if I have got myself a new favourite shoe store :)

Weight Loss Journey

On January 29, 2011, in Fitness, Health, Sports, Weight Loss, by

This time three years ago I weighed more than I ever have before in my adult life, I was a whopping 15 stone and 10 pounds, that’s 210 pounds — and I am only 5 foot tall — I was biiiiig.

I am currently weighing in at 9 stone 3 pounds and am well on my way to getting to my goal weight.

I have lost the weight the slow and sensible way. I work out 5 days a week and consume around 1400 calories a day. It can be really frustrating losing it this way, because I can go literally months without losing any thing — but I also think it’s the most sensible way to do it because it’s a sustainable life style change. I have no fears that I will suddenly come off the ‘diet’ and pile all the weight back on.

I give myself mini goals as they help keep me motivated, my next mini goal is 9.2 pounds — this will put me in the same stone as I was 5 years ago when the husband and I got together and it will mean I am no longer in the Obese BMI category.

I am unsure of my main goal weight — according to statistics my ideal weight is around 7 stone 7 pounds but that seems insane to me, I think I will be happy at about 9 stone 9 pounds but I guess I just have to get there and wait and see how I feel.

Who am I?

On January 23, 2011, in Fitness, Health, Shopping, TV, by

Well how rude, in my excitement to get blogging I completely forgot to introduce myself to you!

My name is Viki, I am 30 years old and was born and bred in the UK but moved out to America two years ago to be with my man.

We are moving house in a few months time. We are getting married in December 2010. We currently have no children and no plans to have any any time soon. I work from home full time doing a variety of things.

I have lost 6 stone over the last two years.
I love Nintendo and am always playing my Wii, NDS and N64.
I love nothing more than a good shopping session and am the bargain queen.
I love television, especially reality shows and soaps.

And that is me in a nut shell :)

I got new boots

On January 18, 2011, in Shopping, by

I got some gorgeous new boots today, it is especially exciting because they have a nice big heel on them — I could never wear heals like this while I was so overweight because my feet would be killing to the point of not being able to walk after 5 minutes!

They are black, knee high, 4 inch heel and with 2 buckles on them.

The best part is that they were in the sale at just $30 reduced from $75.

Happy days :)

I used to love web design

On January 14, 2011, in Blogging, Internet, by

I wish I could get back into website design again. I used to love designing new layouts and making them go live was like, my favourite online activity.

These days I am strictly a free template kinda girl. I got out of the habit of designing my own and have never been able to get back into it despite wanting to. With so many awesome free templates out there it’s too easy not to do your own website designing!
