Feb 2013!

Feb has been quite a roller coaster.

School is back and the boys have settled in nicely.

Tas and I have begun our new lifestyle, eating well and looking after ourselves..
His trainer didn't weigh him, and they are going off measurements only. I can tell her has lost some weight. Each morning he has been getting up at 5.30am to go to the gym before work.
My weight began at: 112kg
My current weight is: 105.6 kg
I was extremely happy with that when I saw that! Wasn't expecting 6.4 kg loss! Motivation to keep going!
I want to get my hands on a Nike+FuelBand, but they can't be bought in Aus just yet! :(
Great pedometer which syncs with your phone.

Yesterday was a scary day! There was a grass fire that started in Donnybrook, Vic and made it's way down through Wollert and into Epping. Some of Epping was evacuated, and the danger zone as I've pictured below was the danger zone. Our factory, our livelihood was within this zone. I was frightened Modern Marble wasn't going to be there today. But thanks to the CFA and their fantastic efforts, they contained the blaze. 1 house was burnt down, and several sheds. That section of Epping is all industrial, but many homes behind it in a new estate of Epping North & Wollert were all evacuated and in serious danger.
Make sure you have all of CFA's details to be able to keep up to date with all necessary details:

Jan 2013

Jan is a big month for us. My sister and brother in law's birthday and then on the 24th is my husbands and then on the 25th is MINE! 31! Time is just flying by, and I'm getting older.. :( Not Happy about that.

Tas and I have both began a new way of life! - Tas has begun using a personal trainer and he is training every morning at 5.30-6.30am! We have completely changed the way we are eating and so far, so good.

We are also planning to register in Herald Sun/ Citylink Run for Kids. We've never done anything like this before. We will register for the 5.5km course and we will join white zone (which is for beginners and walkers). I'm excited but a little frightened also....

I'm so glad school is going back tomorrow.. I've loved having the boys home, but Adrianna is so out of routine. She's been off tap the last couple of weeks.... Can't believe my boys are grade 4 and 2! Wahhh stop growing up!!!

There is always news with Modern Marble & Granite. We are currently resetting up our factory to fit in all the machinery, offices, and toilets. Can't wait till it's done. It'll look awesome, once it's complete but for now it's a messy job site!

That's Jan in a nut shell ......

Merry Christmas

Happy New Year! 

We started our new year celebrating with friends and family, who came over for new year and 

also for Billy's name day (Jan 1st). 

2013 is going to be the beginning of a new way of life. 

We have some goals we are setting and are determined to happen. 

Goals:

* Weight Loss (Tas and I)
* Stop Smoking (Tas)
* More Quality Couple Time
* More Quality Family Time
* Happy & Healthy Family Overall! 

Jorge had his follow up appointment today with his ENT (Simon Purser). He had  a hearing

 test done and he his hearing is in the right range where it should be. That was something I was 

very happy to hear. 

We plan to go to QLD this March, we're taking the boys finally who have been asking to go to the theme parks for a couple of years now. Finally we've told them, we will go. Adrianna will stay here with mum and Tas's mum.
