Firstly I wanna say a huge congratulations to Phillippa for reaching goal this week!!!
she has been a great inspiration to read, and I can't wait to see how maintence goes for her:)

Today it was only a little loss - .1
I am happy with a loss!!

My friend is still being kept comfortable ~ thanks for all your good wishes!!

This will have to be a quick post - Jason is away at camp, and Luke is lonely so I will go and play with him!

Hope everyone is having a great day:)

I lost .2 at weigh in this week, which isn't too bad being easter time - last year I gained a huge amount, so I think I am finally learning a bit about control!!

It has been a busy week - the kids don't go back to school till wednesday, so it is feeling like the weekend still.

My friend, Margaret, that I mentioned a few weeks ago, was put back in hospital during the week - the tumor is growing again and she has had a minor stroke on the side of her body. So things are not going well. She was moved to pallitive care over the weekend - so they are just doing their best to keep her comfortable. Going to see her has brought back memories of being with Nan during her final days...very sad!
My Nan would have been 91 last thursday.

On a brighter note - I am doing well with my exercise, eating is just ok!

Hope you all have a great holiday tommorrow:)

Hope everyone had a great Easter break!!
I spent some great quality time with my sisters on Saturday - the rest of the weekend I caught up with alot of spring cleaning - the main thing was a huge cupboard that is 1/2 a linen press the other half just full of stuff, the kids were to scared to open the door as things always fell out...lol
It was a huge job, but it is lovely now!! there is even room to put more suff in!
I washed all the sheets that were in there too, aswell as all the other washing that needed to be done - I was so proud this morning that ALL washing was done and put away. The boys got home a few hours ago - so it's all piled up again!!
I also cooked a few meals to put in the freezer for when I don't have time - or can't be bothered cooking.

I had done very well not eating choccie all weekend! the boys brought home chocolate which is broken up in the fridge, which I have been picking at...naughty me!! That's why I came up here to blog instead.

I forgot to mention that I lost .7 last week, which is a total of 1.8 since the new sart of my weight loss journey (from 1st April)

Tonight I am cooking beef and blackbean from Annette Syms cookbook!!
...Did I mention that am loving cooking again??
Well enough rambling from me!!

I am still doing great with my exercise at the moment - in the mornings I am doing a 40 min walk with the Mums a school, and if I am not working I have been doing at least 30 min of various exercise at home. I am finding that since there is no daylight savings that I really miss my late afternoon walk!

Yesterday after school the boys and I went the the local park and did 2 laps around the oval before we went home, they enjoyed doing it so I am going to try and make it a regular thing!

I am enjoying cooking again, I have leftover portions in the freezer - so the food side of things is going really well. Hubby is taking the boys camping for a few days over Easter, and I will be sending the eggs with them, so I won't be left with a fridge full of chocolate. So hopefully I can come away with out to much damage over the weekend *wink*

Hope you all are having a great week:)

Hi all!!
I weighed in yesterday and recorded a loss of 1.1kg which I am very happy about!
The weigh in group I go to have a slimmer of the year thingy like weight watchers - the difference being we have a winner in each group - then a winner for the whole state. The start of our 'year' is the 1st of april - so any weight lost from now is counted, so it is a new 'year' for me so I am off to a good start!! I would really love to be the Queen for this coming year ( which is slimmer of the year for wwers) so that is what is keeping me focused!!

Today was walk to school day, so I have done two walks as well as working from 9am to 3pm - today we had a big conference so did alot of lifting chairs and moving tables which means alot of exercise done for me!

Tonight we are having Sue's chow mein for tea - it is cooking at the moment and smells divine!

I hope you all have a great weekend ~will catch up on some blogs over the weekend!

Thankyou for all your lovely comments! My fil and friend are doing well:)

The past few days have been going along really well, I have been drinking 3 litres of water everyday and I have walked every morning with the other ladies.
It is amazing how much things you can get done in the day when you are feeling in control!
Things have just seemed so much easier and motivtion is here...lol

I have to confess this week I have been 'faking it' ... for dinner I have been having frozen meals to help keep within portion sizes - a thing I was having alot of trouble with! I have been making a better effort with my lunches, having things like pita wraps or pita pizzas!

I went though all my recipies from various blogs and have planned my dinners for the next week, I am also planning to make a bit pot of pumpkin soup :)

I am glad to say that I am officially back on track!!!
