Look whats got me drooling!

Well, you all should know, by now, that I want to be the next Oprah…except ‘cuter’ cause of my Sexy Australian Accent…hehe! Admit it! You guys would rather watch and listen to me any day then her, right?…

I have been searching, for ages, for some good broadcasting software to record my FlabVlogs (Video Casts) and tonight I found some amazing software…so perfect, that I am still wiping the dribble from my mouth, quite literally.

Its called Videocue Pro and it would basically mean that I could produce broadcast quality shows incorporating pictures, video files, titles, slideshows etc etc…a broadcasters dream, really. I would be able to produce my FlabVlogs to a quality similar to the ElasticWaist video I posted in my recent post “Let’s get naked and lose weight” with all sorts of special effects and interesting backgrounds and angles…lol

I am an avid MAC user because I can’t be bothered with all the viruses and such that PC computers are constantly plagued with…and this is the ONLY software that I have found for my MacBook Laptop that can do all that I dream of doing in this blog and others eventually.

The trouble is, as a single mom, on a pension, barely struggling to make ends meet, its hard to justify spending money on anything other than rent, food, and warm clothes for the little ones…let alone $90USD on software. My mind tells me that if I was to take the plunge and make the sacrifice to purchase the software then I could use it as a tool eventually to maybe make some more money and develop some income revenue streams to help support me and my work on the web…But as much as I WANT the software, with a passion that I haven’t felt in a long time…I just don’t know.

So what do you think? Should I get the software, make your viewing pleasure all the more interesting…and start working towards my career path as the next Oprah.
Or
Should I do the responsible thing and just leave it?

I want to hear from you…cause I am REALLY torn over this. How do you decide what to do when there is something you really, really want but just can’t quite justify it…knowing the sacrifices that would have to be made to get it. Please tell me your opinions!

By the way…this is NOT a paid post…lol…I am very genuine in asking for your help in this decision.

Join the Finding Flabuless Blogroll

In order to further promote our unique and individual FlabBlogs, I am setting up a FlabBlogroll so that we can all benefit from each others links and so that other readers can easily find us.

The only requirements to taking part in this FlabBlogRoll is that:

• Your blog must be weight-loss focussed - it doesn’t matter how you are losing weight or where you are at in your progress. It also doesn’t matter if you have other, more general, posts on your blog as long as it is primarily about your own personal weight loss journey amongst other things…

• You must publish the FlabBlogRoll on the sidebar of your Blog…and it must be clearly visible.
• You must, at least, publish one new post in your blog each week.

So that I can add you to the Blogroll and send you the code to publish on your blogs please leave a comment below including your email address and Blog URL. I will respond within 48 hours with the code and confirmation that you have been added.

I will endeavour to visit everyone’s blogs periodically, so make sure, when I pop into your cyber home, the blogroll is displayed on your site…hehe!…or else Flabuless might brew up some fire and brimstone…lol.

Its a great opportunity to join together and help each other…besides i would LOVE to have a list of everyone’s blogs that visit this site…So many come in and out that its hard to keep up, at times. Just as you all are supporting and encouraging me i would love to be able to ‘pay it forward’ and support you guys too.

Drop by, leave your link and say hello!

Hi guys…

I FINALLY got my Guest Book to work…so if you have a moment…click on Guest Book or navigate there through the menu above and leave your ShoutOut’s, Cheer’s, Hello’s or Suggestion’s/Feedback there. Don’t forget to leave a link to your blog for all to see…I would love you to link me to your blogs too…and do let me know…if you have.

I am also in the process of starting a blogroll for Finding Flabuless. The FlabBlogRoll is a great way to increase the number of links to your blog and get your blog name displayed on other FlabBlogs. If you would like to be included in the FlabBlogRoll leave your email and url in the Comments section of my FlabBlogRoll Join Page. So that I can send you the blogroll code to add to your blogs. Alternatively you can email me the info using the Contact Me link at the bottom of this page.

As you can see below..its looking a little empty, so I am really looking forward to hearing from you all.

Lets get naked and lose weight

Check this out…I want to do it, it looks like soooooo much fun…and gives you a workout as well!!!! Oh, and I wouldn’t mind having lots of ‘practice’ sessions with that hunky instructor….see this kitten ROAR! who whoooooo….Down girl Down!

If he were my instructor…I would be at my goal weight and probably even below that in record time. Nothing like a little bit of ‘eye candy’ to keep you inspired and motivated!!!!!…lol. You can’t half tell, I haven’t had ‘ANY’ in over 2 years, can ya…lol

Stuffed myself…AGAIN!!!!!!!

Well guys, today was my dad’s birthday…and as usual, I over did it…especially since it was a special occasion. It was his 62nd birthday so it was only natural that me and the kids go there for a special birthday dinner…The problem was, I found myself being totally SEDUCED by the yummy delights that rudely accosted my gaze. I don’t know what it is about me but when I see food I tend to eat it…
Here’s what I ate:

Starters

• About 4 handfuls of potato chips/crisps
• 6 cheese on a stick…(small piece of cheese with a pickled onion on a toothpick)

Main Course

• 4 tiny potato quarters…I suppose adding up to one small-medium potato
• 4 thin slices of roast pork
• 1 desert spoon of cabbage
• 1 small portion of pumpkin
• Covered in gravy, and a desert spoon of stewed apple

Desert

• A small desert plate of blueberry danish…smothered in cream.
• A slice of date and walnut loaf…

Although I kept my portions reasonably small…I feel absolutely stuffed…and have this awful pain in my side. GRRRRR…I really need to deal with my compulsion to eat…I was full after the chips…yet, I kept on eating. If I had of had an ounce of self control…I would have skipped the ’starters’ eaten my main meal, had a couple of spoonfuls of desert and saved the piece of cake for tomorrow….But NO…I didn’t and now I am reaping the consequences of my actions EXCRUCIATINGLY!

Ow……..

If you haven’t been able to tell already from my previous posts…I am going through a black spot at the moment in relation to my weight loss journey…I need to break through again…I was going so well, I mean a 95lb loss is no small feat…but then my own tendency to ‘rest my laurels’ on prior victory has caused me to become slack, unmotivated, and downright greedy again.

I’m addicted

I will always be addicted to food…like a crack-head, desperate for the next fix

The Battle of the Bulge is never ending. Even when I reach my goal, it is going to be hard to maintain the weight, and not give in to my destructive food addiction tendencies. I am beginning to think that I will always be addicted to food and like a crack-head…desperate for the next fix…I am going to have to learn to stay away from situations/occassions that are going to cause me to slip again, and again and/or come up with strategies to handle such occassions…

Do any of you have some tips/suggestions for what to do at parties/special events when the ‘mountains’ of food just looks too yummy to resist. Please share in the comments…I would appreciate your contributions and advice.

Oh and by the way…the mood shot is doctored…lol…I don’t actually look that bad but it represents pretty much exactly how I feel.
