its not what you know...
its WHO you know... isnt that what they say??
this has been proven twice this weekend, Jase and I went shopping for vinal for our floors, found a nice slate look one at a ticketed price of $70 per metre, our mate who is putting the floor covering down for us came with us, he is also good mates with the salesman, we were needing 13 metres of said vinal which came to $1000, Jase asked about the cash sale price, this is usually 10% discount, but the salesman takes out his calculator, runs a few sums and says 13metres, how about $500 guys?!!! I could barely contain my excitement at such a huge saving! half price! gotta love it!
later that arvo we were awaiting a plumber as we've been getting a few quotes on replacing an existing toilet, we were looking at between $300 and $400, so the plumber turns up and turns out he's a mate of my dads, $120 to install the new toilet! woot!!
in between these 2 instances Jase went to purchase some new brake pads for his car, first place was $320, 2nd place said $260, 3rd place he went to price them... $96!
ohh i do love a bargain!

hungry hippo
im struggling today, not sure why but im feeling very tired and hungry, maybe its the weather? maybe i should get a good multivitamin? no idea, but im thinking the multivitamin cant be a bad idea so i'll give that a go and see how im feeling as the days go on. Doing well on the weight front, 10.9kg gone and my weights been steady for a few days now. i must say that im loving not having the 'bloated' feeling i used to carry with me day in day out!
Corey enjoyed the week he spent with his father and im pleased to report he is starting to discover that the grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence...
i ve finished painting Brock and Dylans bedroom and it looks much nicer, lighter and even bigger! next project is to strip and re gyprock the hallway, paint that and then were getting a mate in to recover the floorboards, im very much over the timber floors and im going with slate look vinal from through the hall, lounge, kitchen,laundry and toilet and will carpet the bedrooms later in the year, will have to get them done one at a time as theres just so much stuff in them, not looking forward to that job! but for now im having a week off before i strip the hallway.

time to cut the fat
well so far so good, seems my old cohens program isn't letting me down, I started back at it on Tuesday 29/12/09 weighing in at 85kg had new years eve night as a free night and here we are some 7 days later and the kg's are dropping off. I had the same success last time i followed my cohens program, lost 16kg in the first 4 weeks, fingers crossed i have similar success this time round, although i dont mind if its slower, i do think in reality that if the kgs come off slower there easier to keep off, you cant just come off cohens and resume normal eating, you have to follow the refeed program to find your healthy consumption balance and let your weight stabilise which is a pain in the butt... but for now I'm heading down to my first major goal... 70kg, 7.8kg to go :o)
