Just checking in...

Things are still going along nicely - weighed in yesterday and LOST weight for the first time in a long time:)

Last week 95.1
This week 94.4
Lost 0.7
Total lost 0.7
Weight left to lose 29.4 kilo's
( to reach goal weight of 65 kilo's)

I am going to love watching that 29.4 go down:)

P.s Wanna - that pic was taken in my loungeroom, you can see a bit of the dining room over my shoulder, our house isn't huge - just high and really open:)

Weigh in

****Edit ~ I just got a new job!!!
(working in the deli of my local supermarket)
They rang me the other day to ask if I was interested~as they are interviewing people,
I said 'hell yeah!!!' Went to interview and they gave it to me on the spot!!! I start tommorrow...very excited!!
~as I am still waiting for the resturant to reopen after the flooding they had before christmas!
Isn't it weird when you are busting your ass looking...not much happens...when I'm not really looking...they chase me...lol


Last weeks weight: 87.2 kilo's
This weeks weight: 87 kilo's
A loss of: .2 kilo
Left to lose: 22 kilo's

Am very happy with this weeks result...after a big loss last week, as well as a few indulgences over the weekend!

I signed up to calorie king this week and I just love it...have been going through the forums and found many new recipes and I have a plan all worked out for this week...have just come home from shopping without choc and other snacks that I just don't need:)

Hope all are having a great week:) xxx

Weigh In

Last weeks weight: 88 kilo's
This weeks weight: 87.2 kilo's
A loss of: 1.2 kilo's
Left to lose: 22.2 kilo's

There was no weigh in this morning because of the public holiday tommorrow - but I took a peek on my home scales and I am .6 down from last week which is great ... a huge boost to my confidence seeing the numbers finally go down!

Things are going OK with FIL being here. He does repeat himself alot, but I am learning to zone out a bit...lol
He has made his mind up about the situation in Tassie (not that they know, and they wont be happy) so the whingeing has been minimal here, compared to other times:)
One thing that has really grossed me out is he has the only clothes he has is the ones he arrived in plus another pair of dress pants and a jumper.... and he is staying until around the 4th of Feb!!
It was his birthday yesterday (turning 78) so we brought him a polo shirt :)
Unfortunetly he is not very fond of the shower - last time he only had 2 in the couple of weeks he stayed, so we are interested to see if he is going to brake his record this time:P

Eating has been pretty good the last few days - the exception being birthday cake last night and a few timtam's today - the new ones mudcake flavor...yum. My throat has been a little scratchy the last few days so I have been drinking plenty of water:)

Home everyone has a great day off tommorrow!!

Nanette wanted me to post the Yucky photo so here is the one Jason took on New Years day that made me really cringe...unfortunetly the camera doesn't lie...

This one is a closer photo taken the other day...

My weigh in for the 2nd Jan was 89 kilo's. I have done all my measurements, and have them written in a note book that I am also tracking my food and exercise (so I won't lose them) My 1st official weigh in will be on the 18th Jan....my last weigh in was 84 kilo's, so my goal until then is to get as close to 84 as I possibly can. I have been pretty good the last few days, eating well and doing a little exercise each day...my motivation is back!!!

Feeling like*&^*!!
I weighed myself this morning and was horrified to see the number blinking back at me 88.7 ... I have been feeling depressed about my weight going up lately ...and stupidly have just been in denial....but now it is so close to 90 which really scares me - especially since I was down to 79.5 in October....what am I doing to myself???
I really need to get my shit together, starting TODAY - If I wait till after New Years, staying on the same track I will be close to a hundred in the new year....I can't let that happen!!!
Gosh, my clothes are getting tight, I don't want to have to buy a biiger shirt for work when I go back on the 16th - I am supposed to be getting into the smaller one!!
The last week I have been so good in the mornings...then everything goes to shit during the afternoon.

I need to exercise...can't remember the last time I did anything regular....sorry Sarge!
I need to drink water instead of alcohol...I find I eat more when I am drinking!
I need to get back to planning my meals and tracking what I eat...have not done that in ages.
I need to get my motivation back!!

So starting right now I am going to try to make a more concentrated effort...wish me luck!!

I am still here ... things are pretty hectic at the moment!!
It has been so hot here lately, and smoky from all the fires that are burning around the state.

I weighed in on thursday and lost 100g - which is ok, my goal for the next few weeks is to try and maintain - It has been hard with numerous lunches and dinners...and I have not exercised much in this hot weather. Last year(and the year before that!) over christmas I gained 3 kilo's - so to lose a little or stay the same will be the best outcome for me....then I will start anew in the new year!!

My youngest brother Malcolm, came home with me on thursday and spent a few days with us which was nice...the boys had a free day on friday - I got the boys santa photo done and we all went and finished our christmas shopping!
Then we went and visited my new nephew (my other brother Brendan, first baby) which was born on 2nd dec...he is so tiny, was only 5 pound 6 oz - I didn't have my camera on me, so will have to make sure I have it next time....feeling very clucky...lol

I have finally sent out the christmas cards...I feel really bad this year as I normally make the cards. but with working I just have not had the time...so just shop brought ones this year!
Yesterday the boys and I spent most of the day making chocolates to give as gifts... at school they have kris kringle - but it has to be something made - not brought, I will make up a box for Vic to take to work to share in the luch room...and take the rest for the family on christmas day!
The boys had fun squishing candy canes to put in the choc, and mixing white and milk choc...made heaps of mess though!
Well have heaps to do...hope everyone had a great weekend:)

Here is a pic of our christmas tree, which we put up last night!

Weighed in yesterday and lost .9 - it is great to finally have a loss after being out of wack for the last few weeks!

I am hoping that over the next few weeks, which includes many lunches/dinners/drinkies is to at least maintain my weight!
At work I have told the girls in the kitchen not to let me put my hand into the m&m's jar - and it has really made a difference this week...we also have been very busy with christmas functions, so I am not standing around 'snacking' - lots of walking around ( I must really get myself a pedometer!!)

I am hoping that I don't get off work too late to meet some of you guy's on sat night... hopefully I can get off by 10.30 to meet you all around 11.30....I am a bit nervous...but can't wait!!
