Awstats

[toomanylogins]

Hello, I have a low-volume sites and when I am updating the pages my requests when I am checking the site is confusing the awstats statistics. Is there anyway to setup awstats to ignore "hits" from my ip address. I think this might be the hidden refers option but in the control panel this seems to apply to Webalizer Preferences? also can this be applied retrospectively?
thanks
Paul
