A Sunday Social 19th May

Well look what we have here!!

I am blogging on a Sunday WOOOO!~!~!

It really has been months since I blogged on a Sunday and that is purely because I normally blog off my work computer but seeings as I have decided to plan out my blog posts a little more I am really trying to commit more to my blog and post more fabulous and totally AMAZEBALLS content!

Just kidding you will only be reading my regular crappola!!

Seeings as it is Sunday I feel that I should probs link up with the 

SUNDAY SOCIAL!

This Weeks questions:

1. What is your favorite kind of surprise?

I am not a really big fan of surprises  I suppose that is because I like to be in control of a situation and you can never be in control of a real surprise  However my favorite kind of surprise which I don't think I shall ever get sick of always seems to have something to do with my husband making dinner and getting a movie when I have had a long hard day at work. A simple surprise really is my favorite kind of surprise!

2. Flowers or Chocolate?

I love flowers!! I constantly buy flowers or cut flowers out of gardens to put in my house. I think that flowers make a house look a little more loved and put together! Roses are of course my favorite but I will take what I can get. Dylan often brings me home flowers because he knows how much I love them.

3. What is your favorite summertime activity?

I love heading up to my parents house and hanging out with my family and swimming in the pool, that or heading down to the beach with Dylan and the dogs for the evening and just throwing the ball and watching the sun go down. 

4. Do you have any vacations planned this Summer?

Well as it is almost Winter down here in Australia I haven't really been thinking about summer like people in the northern hemisphere but I have been thinking of maybe heading on over to Bali at the end of the year (our summer) over Christmas and New Years.

5. Favorite Summer Holiday?

I don't really understand this question, are you asking for my favorite Summer Holiday memory?? If so it would most likely be when I was 16 and my family headed to America for 3 weeks. We drove around California and down to the Grand Canyon. It was summer in America and we had a pretty awesome time.

6. Dream Vacation?

My Dream Vacation would probs be heading some where like Barbados or any beautiful beachy islands and just hang out at the beach with Dylan. I mean doing anything with Dylan for a week with out any work is a dream vacation to me at this point in time!!

Well that is my answers to the Sunday Social Link Up!

I am hoping to post a blog a little later this afternoon about my #SUNDAYPREP for my Revolt Now Fitness program but as we are looking at buying this new place I mentioned on Thursday and the fact that we will then have to put our house on the market I am running around the place trying to clean as best as I can!!

Okie Dokie Artichokie.

I better get back to Sunday Cleaning!!

A test font and a possible life time milestone!

Good Morning Lovers!

I have been seriously thinking about changing my font for the blog and I seem to have fallen in love with this font entitled 

pea ellie bellie.

Do you think that this is a little too much?

Is it hard to read?

Does it annoy you a little that I cannot type in capitals in this font? (that does annoy me slightly, I like a good capital letter!)

I am not 100 percent sure on this font and today I am testing it out, please feel free to leave me some feedback about it whether it be good or bad!

What font do you use on your blog?

What if your favourite font?

I think that the more and more I look at it, the less and less I like it! I tried writing the post all in the above font but it seemed to merge together so I might just stick with good ol' GEORGIA in Italics!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time to get serious (hence the serious line above!)

You may have noticed that I have been a little less vigilant on my blog recently and there is a rather important reason as to why!

There is a rather large possibility that Dylan and I may be buying a new house! We currently own a reasonably sized 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a small backyard which I bought back in 2009 when I was only 20 years old.  

At that time I was single and living alone so the house was plenty big enough for me. I got a great deal on the house and only had 7 years to pay it off in. But now that I am married, have 2 rather large dogs and thinking about starting a family the house seems to be getting smaller and smaller!

However recently a property came to our attention that has a rather large house (I am not too sure on the size, we are going to look at it today!) But more importantly it is on a 5 Acre block with fruit trees, rainwater tanks, solar panels, olive trees, horse stables, is still super close to work, has NO NEIGHBOURS and is exactly what Dylan and I would like for our family!!

The only real catch is the price................

Dylan and I make a fairly good living with him working for my families building company and I running it as well as our shopping complex. So we have a bit of money in our pockets but this price is big for us! We would probably have to lock ourselves in to paying it off for the next 20 years!!!

I am scared! I don't think I was this scared when I married Dyl or received my transplants! This has to be the biggest, scariest, most important thing I have ever looked into!

I haven't even seen the house yet but I feel that doesn't matter too much, Dyl and I love a bit of good hard DIY so lets just renovate the house ourselves.

I bet I will retract that later if we do have to do a lot of work on the house!

I am super scared about going to see the place, we have my uncle going with us and he has no problems with squashing dreams so he may decided that it is not worth the money or the hassle which will leave me horribly deflated!

I am scared, if we buy this house this will be the house we raise our family in! which is big for me because I was luck enough to be raised in a pretty spectacular place and that is al I want for my children too!

GOSH I HOPE IT ALL GOES WELL!!!

I will most likely blog a bit later this afternoon to let you all know how it went! I have also found a amazeballs planner that I will be using this weekend to start organizing my blog.  All I need to do is sneak into my bosses office when he leaves early and print them off on his super printer because mine is tiny and can barely print black and white :(

Oh and before I go please tell me that you have headed over and checked out all my AMAZING sponsors!!! Make sure you do!!! they are just over there!

I have butterflies in my tummy!

Do You Plan Your Posts?

Well Hello all my Beautiful Bloggers.

I know I have been pretty slack lately with blogging but I have just been so overloaded with work!

I find it rather hard some days to balance work and life equally when work is so incredibly important to me.

I love my job, I work for my family running a shopping mall. Its very busy work but its still not enough for me. My family also run a large building company and as my grandmother is getting older I have decided to bite the bullet and help take over her duites as well.

This means that more and more my work is encroaching on my free time therefore I seem to let aspects slip a little ie blogging and house work!

I love blogging it really is like therapy for my soul, I find no matter what is going on I always seem to have something to write about, even though I start every post with a blank page and no planning in my head.

I am starting to think more and more maybe I should have a planner for my blog posts and start organising what I wish to post on a weekly basis.

Does anyone plan their posts in advance?

Have any tips for me?

I have been looking at printable planners from Pintrest, what do you use?

So I am posting today to introduce my wonderful new sponsors on the side of my blog!

We have :

The Stunning Fariha from Fariha is Here

The Lovely Michelle from Binge there done that

The Fabulous Lisa from Something Infinitely Interesting

The Beautiful Nichole from Life's a Beach

The Wonderful Emorie from Oh Whimsical Me


The Amazing Rebecca from xoxo Rebecca

The Adorable Destini from The Healthy Wife

Please head on over to all their pages and check them all out, I hope to get a sponsor post from each of them!

Okie Dokie that is all for today!

Love You All

The wonderful Jenn from A Travelling Wife gave me a wonderful idea for a link up. Read the bellow picture, link up and tell me what you think!

A Critical and Negative Week

So I need to get some things off my chest!

I have been a bad blogger and a bad Revolter this week!

I have been dealing with my dreaded Aunt Flow this week and it is amazing how critical and extremely negative I am when ever she gets here.

It's like a switch clicks over in my head and I hate myself! 

I start getting really bad cravings and then the evil bitch voice in my head perks up to let me know that I am as well give in to my cravings, I am a piece of crap and always will be so why even bother trying!

As you can tell this little bitch voice has got me down A LOT this week and eventually I did stray from the plan!

I have been eating 1 frozen juice box for dessert each night and I feel terrible about it, I also have only worked out once this week!

I am feeling horrible, like I have just ruined all the work I did last week!

I also keep thinking well maybe that stupid voice in my head is right, maybe I will always be fat!

I am really REALLY trying to ignore it all but it is incredibly hard, hence the lack of blogging, I don't even want to think about this voice!

This seems to be my pattern, I smash the first week of a program but then get negative and give up.

I really want this week to be over and done with already!

 Monday was a wash, I felt sick and stayed in bed till 2pm. 

Tuesday I worked up in the city office and wasn't organised so didn't pack my snacks and went most of the day without food but then went out to dinner for Dylans birthday.

Wednesday was miserable, I took my snacks to work with me but felt sick all day and didn't really eat. 

Thursday I only worked a few hours then went home and sat on the couch all day.

And well Friday, today is not going so great either. I was rushed this morning because my manager has decided to divert his phone to mine and stay home so I had to rush into work and skipped breakfast and got to work without food and am now starving!

I want to start fresh again next week. 

The issue I have been facing this whole week besides the evil little bitch voice in my head is the fact that I keep looking at this whole week rather than taking it day by day which makes it extremely daunting!

I just need to remember to take it day by day.

I am extremely busy and stressed today as my manager is away and has diverted his phone to mine so I am running around a little crazy!

That is all I have time for, I may blog a little later if I can!

Love You All

A mini Revolt week 1 Review

Hello Lovers!

It has been a while since I posted and I have a back log of posts on Dyls computer at home that I need to post up on here including my first week stats from Revolt!

My first week of Revolt Now fitness went off with out any hitches! I was a little grumpy from time to time mostly in the evenings but I managed to pull through!

I followed my workout plan to the T and even included some yoga at night to help me relax and I went for some walks with my husband.

The diet was pretty easy to follow to and I even managed to keep my 'Free Day" under control with eating a clean breakfast and snacks but then enjoying a small 6 inch subway for lunch and a steak with salad for dinner.

If you follow me on My Fitness Pal you will be well aware of just how great I have been doing!

However Week 2 Revolt Now Fitness hasn't got off too such a great start!

Monday was a BAD Day! I woke up feeling like Crappola so I called my trainer and cancelled then fell back into bed and slept till 2pm!!

This meant that when I woke up I was pretty hungry so I had breakfast, then some corn chips then dinner.

It was also Dylan's 25th birthday so I felt super guilty that he was looking after me instead of me looking after him.

Tuesday was even worse, I ended up sleeping in a little so was running late to get down to the city office and didn't have my food properly organised so I ate breakfast and then ran out of the door.

I skipped lunch but then my sister organised dinner at a restaurant for Dylan's birthday so I grabbed a grilled chicken salad to try and eat something similar to what was listed for dinner.

Once we got back to my sisters house I ended up indulging in a chocolate cupcake that they made. I was incredibly disappointed in myself on the way home and felt so incredibly guilty, like I had just ruined all the work I did in week 1 with a stupid cupcake !

I wont be doing anything like that again any time soon!

TIME TO GET BACK INTO THE REVOLT NOW FITNESS SWING OF THINGS!!!

Today is going better ALREADY! I saw my gym trainer before work this morning and have been eating on track all day so far, I also have lunch organised so that going to make life a little easier as well!

I am hoping to go for a walk and get some yoga in before bed tonight!

I will also be posting all my overdue posts that are currently on my husbands computer.

Well that is all for me right now!

Hopefully everyone is having a wonderful day.

Love You All
