WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Well I went to my WW meeting this morning to weigh in but nobody turned up so I guess it was cancelled because of it being Christmas and since I wasn't there last week I didn't get informed I was a bit annoyed about that. I really wanted to be weighed today because I weighed in at 99.0kg on my scales at home which means I would have weighed 99.6 on the WW scales So I have made the 30kg loss YIPPPPPEEEEWOOOOOOHAAAAAAA. I am so pleased with myself I would never have thought 6 months ago that I would be under 100kg!!

So to celebrate I went to town to spend my gift vouchers I got for Christmas from my family I firstly went to crossroads pick up all the jeans shorts I could find in a size 20 and went and tried them on well was I in for a surprise they where all to BIG!!! so I took them all back out again and got 18's another proud moment today. Anyway I ended up with a pair of size 18 jean shorts from crossroads and pair of kmart jeans from the normal section in a size 18 and new strapless bra and socks plus I picked up some fishnet stockings and black g string since I promised my husband I would put on the corset I bought a year ago when I finally made it under 100kg although since its ttom he will have to wait for that surprise.



I thought Id put some pictures from my Tassie Holiday:

My mum and Thomas on the swings I would have been on there with him but they were for 10 and under I figure my mum was closer the a 10 year olds weight than me hahaha

Me and Thomas with my Nan

Me and Thomas at the Beaconsfield gold mine

At the Gold Mine again

My younger Sis Amy,me and a sleeping Thomas at the airport waiting to leave :(

Well thats all for now

Tootaloo

HI IM BACK!!

Anyway I didnt quite make my goal of being under 100 but I lost 400g while I was away so pretty stoked about that. Had a fab time in Tas I didnt take any photos but my mum did so Ill have to wait for her to send them to me then Ill put some up.
Anywho Ill be back sometime tomorrow to write a proper blog.

Weigh In Number 19

I have changed my Weigh In day to Saturdays because after this Sunday I officially have the weekends off!!!! So exciting! Anyway back to my weigh in results down 700g in 5 days which ain't to shabby at all. There isn't a meeting next Saturday our meeting hall has a wedding at it, I'm going to have to go on the Monday so I can see if I have reached my goal before my Tassie trip. I'm quite sure Id make my goal if I could weigh in naked since I was 100.7 nude this morning so if I weigh in at ww on the Monday and I haven't reached it on the scales but have at home do you think I can count that as goal reached?? Mind you I have 1.7kg to go I can do it!!!

Well I have to get back to the Christmas presents I'm making my family since they don't get to see Thomas very often I make them these for Christmas they have photos from throughout the year in it. This is one I made for myself early last year (oh how I miss my sweet little baby)

Tootaloo for now

P.S I forgot to add I had a photo taken the other day and I had COLLARBONES!!!!!!!! can you believe it!!!

My Revelation

There are a lot of people that say they have no motivation and cant get off there behinds I have been thinking about me and my motivation and why I'm still going strong and I realised that I don't fail in my motivation because I am just doing what I am going to be doing for the rest of my life I haven't deprived myself of anything not even takeaway or lollies I just choose what I have differently. I have set up a exercise routine that I will be able to stick to forever I'm not over doing it at the gym twice a day we all know that isn't sustainable. Anyway just thought I would share my revelation. Also I forgot to mention in yesterdays post I had to get a couple of new work shirt since I was going from 2 days a week to 6 days , My old shirt was a 3XL the ones I got the other day XL YAY!! and Im sure I could of fitted into a L WOOOHOOOO!!!!
Tootaloo All

Weigh In Number 18

This week I had a whooping loss of 1.9kg Yay me!!!!! so now I have 2.4kg to go til I hit the big 30kg loss so fingers crossed Ill get that in two weeks just in time for my Tassie trip.
I had my WW leader tell me today that I was looking good and she wanted me to get up in front of everyone and talk about my journey so far, I declined, I'm not very good at talking in front of a group I turn bright red like a tomato which is quite embarrassing.
Work is going well at the moment I'm definitely going to be working the weekdays only but at the moment I have to work the weekends to as I'm trying to train a girl to take over and it isn't going very well at all *sigh*.
Thomas is going well at daycare still cries when i leave him there in the morning but the girls are great they say he stops pretty much as soon as i walk out the door so that a relief plus he is always happy when I pick him up so that's fantastic. Ive learnt that I have to be super organised with everything including washing , housework, meals etc. Sunday I hardly sat down which is great for my healthy life but sucks when you are tired.
The weather here has been shocking hasn't stopped raining since about a fortnight ago. Last Friday it was so bad peoples houses were flooded, roads were closed and creeks and street drains overflowed apparently it was the most rain we have had in one go in 130 years and all this a week before it is meant to be summer!!! Crazy!!
Ive stopped reading the WW forums so much anymore they are becoming quite bitchy and negative which is not what I need and I'm way over them although I love Midjerks Motivated Mob thread which although I don't reply to it I love reading everybody Else's replies.
This last week I was having a battle with my mind over eating after dinner thankfully I remember reading one of Jo's replies to some thread about saying to herself the kitchen is closed and boy did that save me this week who would of thought saying those simply words would help.
Well I best be going I might walk to Thomas's daycare to pick him up hopefully we don't get rained on!!

Weigh In Number 17

This week grand total loss was ........... 100g wooohooo hahahahaha. I must say I am very greatful for that 100g loss considering I went out with the girls on Friday night and had a huge chicken parmy (that came with chips which I ate 2 of) and a delicious scoop of ice cream rolled in coconut with a chocolate inside(I didn't know about that surprise) as well as little exercise this week so I'm happy it was a minus and not a plus. This past week I thought I would give my knees a rest and considering even swimming was hurting them I had to have a break I'm very glad I did as they aren't hurting as bad now so back into it all just a bit more lightly.
Ive started back at work full time this week so Ive had to get organised which I must say is very hard the housework has been delayed again and again but no excuse tomorrow as it is my day off and Thomas will be in daycare.
Well just a short one today got to pick Thomas up
Tootaloo

Weigh In Number 16

This week I lost 1.5kg Yay me!!!
So Ive now lost a total of 25.6kg and am over half way there WOW! So I know have 4 weeks to lose 4.4kg to get to my goal of 30kg lose before my Tassie trip. I think I might be pushing it but definitely doable if I work hard.
I'm hoping my knees don't get any worse otherwise I'm going to have to stop walking which I will hate a lot. Ive been helping a friends mum sort her house out and they have a huge big stairs oh the pain when I walk down them, I have figured out that I have to walk down them sideways and it doesn't hurt as bad.
Well not much has been going on in my life, Thomas had his first full day at daycare today he loved it thank goodness, ummm I was talking to my older sister the other day and is getting her bum into gear to lose some weight since she is about 100kg (she has put a bit of weight on) and has always been smaller than me and now that I'm catching up she doesn't like it hahahahaha love it. Work is sort of stuffing me about I was going to be working Mon to Fri but now they want me to work Thur to Mon so I'm not going to be getting the same amount hours in as I thought I would since on the weekends I usually get in 7-8 hours for the two days instead of 11-12 hours I would for two days during the week so I'm going to have to have words to them I need to make it worth my while being there otherwise there is no point me going back. Its all to do with them not being able to find anyone to do the weekend shifts I was/am doing argh it shits me!
Anywho better be off go to get ready for my swim and aqua
Tootaloo

Patella Femoral Syndrome....

Well that's what they call whats wrong with my knees. When I was younger I used to play or train for netball about 5 nights a week and that started these issues but as soon as I stopped playing completely they got better because I stopped doing any real physical activity (which is why I'm fat now!)
I ended up get special knee braces made which helped a lot while I was still playing netball but since it has been years they have been lost so I'm going to have to buy some more at $96 a brace I'm bloody glad I'm going back to work!! I hadn't really thought anything of the pain I was getting in my knees when I was sleeping but it all makes sense now. So no more running or squatting (which makes siting on the toilet hard) just swimming and walking.
I donated blood yesterday and got a cool keyring that they forgot to give me last time it has my blood type on the back of it. If anyone reading this has thought about giving blood please do the number to call to make a appointment is 131495 it a good way to find out your blood type,your hemoglobin levels and best bit you get a chocolate when you are done plus a cool donor card.
Anyway best go for a walk in this rain before it gets any worse
Tootaloo

Weigh In Number 15

Down 500g this week I'm pleased with that considering my scales at home were telling me Id stayed the same as last week.
After every weigh in I send a text message to my family letting them all now how much Ive lost it, saves them all calling me and asking, anyway my MIL sent one back saying that's disappointing but I suppose a loss is a loss WHAT?!?!? I was gobsmacked!!! I sent one back saying I wasn't disappointed its half a kilo gone!!! I didn't get a reply, I then realised why I am succeeding and she isn't( she gained 800g last week after gaining 700g the week before that).

I made my 2nd 10% this week and I have 5.6kg or 5.9kg to loss in 5 weeks to make my goal of under 100kg or lose 30kg before Tassie so I better get into gear.
I started the c25k again on Saturday I bought a ankle strap thing for my ankle(obviously lol) it helped a bit I just have to make sure I don't go down any ditches in the oval and it should be ok. The weather here is nice to day so Ill go for a walk later when Thomas wakes up from his nap I put my walk into the mapmyrun website and it comes up at about 5.6km so weather permitting I should be able to do that daily plus the c25k, aqua and swimming every second day although I'm getting a bit bored with that so I'm going to start changing my strokes and use a kick board to give my legs a workout. I'm finding I'm starting to get a bit hippy so using a kick board might help with that.
I couldn't stay for the meeting this week Thomas was being a tired cranky boy so it was better for everyone there if we left but I will definitely say next week why you might ask Thomas is at daycare from then onwards Yay!! I love him dearly but it will be nice to have adult time again. I have to work Monday to Saturday at work til they can find someone to do the weekends so I'm not to sure when I'm going to be able to go to my meetings hopefully still Mondays Ill just tell the boss Ive got to nip out for half an hour hes pretty lenient so it should be good.
Anyway I suppose I should do some housework or maybe go on the wii fit hmmm which should I chose hahaha wii fit it is!!
Tootaloo
Have a good week all

The mind journey

I was just reading the WW forums and came across a lass that had written how bad she was feeling another lady had written a lovely post in reply which made me think about how my thoughts of myself have changed. When I first started this journey I wore board shorts with my bathers to do aquarobics, the thought of anyone seeing my legs horrified me, then one day I woke up and realised who gives a flying toss these are my legs deal with it and I have no more board shorts in fact I gave them to the salvos with the rest of the clothes that now longer fit. I had a conversation with a board short wearing friend about me not wearing board shorts anymore and how these are my legs who cares what anyone else thinks, she agreed I had a good point and she no longer wears them!!! I no longer think negatively about myself at all I look at all the positives which is what I do with all things in my life apart from myself funny that is it. I'm not saying they don't pop into my head when I'm looking at myself nude in the mirror but I focus on the fact that I know have a waist or I no longer have a double chin or I actually have a bum until it drowns out the negative. Anyway I just wanted to share how my mind has changed in the short time Ive been doing WW.
I don't know how I will go at weigh in this week its ttom so my scales have stayed the same at home my food has been good and exercise has just been swimming and aqua again since my ankle still isn't right hopefully Ill get a walk in today if this rain holds off fingers crossed.
I have decided to go back to full time work starting the 17th November I'm very excited Ive been busy trying to get all the paper work for the childcare benefit and rebate sorted so Thomas can start on the 10th November to give him time to settle in and so Ill be available to pick him up if he gets in to a real state. I went there yesterday to ask a few more questions and ended up leaving him there to have lunch, a sleep and play and of course he loved it when I went to put him in the car after picking him up he kept pointing at the place like he wanted to go back in hahahah so I don't think we will have to much trouble with him settling in. I think the main problem will be dropping him off in a good mood at 630 in the morning he usually wakes up at 8 so it will be interesting.
Anyway better go have some lunch and put Thomas to bed for his nap

Random Stuff

I was thinking about changing my goal weight I have it at 80kg which still has me in the overweight category to be just in the healthy weight range I have to be 72kg so I was thinking that might be more acceptable for WW standards. The reason I chose 80kg was that I have never been skinny nor do really have a desire to be I just want to be strong and healthy and the last time I remember being like that was at 80kg. Maybe Ill leave it at 80kg and see how I feel when I get there.
I was talking to my mother in law yesterday (she also does WW but goes on the weekend with my sister in law) she asked how much I lost this week so I told her 3.6kg she called me a biatch and told me she couldn't understand how I can lose that much considering I don't go without anything, I told her I make the points system work for me, well she couldn't argue with that hahahahaha. My SIL and MIL are having a real hard time losing their weight my MIL finally got her 5kg before we left for Bali but put back on a kilo so she said she wants to lose that first before she gets her bookmark she also doesn't exercise although she says she is starting shallow aquarobics tonight. My SIL has a thyroid problem and goes up and down in weight sometimes up by 3 kilo in a single week, she also has fluid issues and some days doesn't eat nearly enough as she is working she is a midwife (well that's the excuse she uses). So I think they are a little jealous of my weight coming off so easily at the moment although I do remind them I exercise a lot whenever they say an off handed remark.
I have started to feel lighter finally, I have been waiting to feel different and yesterday finally I felt it, it being able to run after Thomas and feel like I'm a pebble (I would say feather but not quite there yet) not a huge boulder and I'm liking it a lot. I cant wait to get under 100kg now!!!
I forgot to write yesterday that I was looking into doing tap dancing lessons how cool Ive always wanted to be a dancer unfortunately I have to wait for next years school term to start I'm so excited if will be so much fun I have no rhythm at all so it will be funny. So hurry up next year!!!
Its crap weather here today so I think I may be running in the rain hopefully it might clear up
by this afternoon.
Tootaloo for today

Weigh In Number 14

Well I had a huge loss this week 3.6 to be exact so now its a total of 23.6 yay!!!!!!!! Our WW leader said I am the best loser she has ever seen!!! and that was before I told her of my 3.6kg loss this week she was gobsmacked when I finally told her. So I'm down to 106kg now 2kg off what I was in 2002. I'm so proud of myself and how far Ive come I cant imagine how proud of myself Ill be when I get to goal. I also achieved what I wanted to be at the end of November so I'm still a month ahead of schedule wooohoooo!! and Ive decided that I want to have lost 30kg by the time I go to Tassie/ Adelaide on the 12th of December so I have 6 weeks to lose 6.4 kilos very doable as long as i don't hit a plateau
I think my huge weight loss this week was because I drank loads of water Ive figured out my bubba gump cup holds 500ml so I only have to drink 4 of those a day and I'm set, anymore than its a bonus.
I didn't get around to starting my C25K last week because I twisted my ankle twirling Thomas around so it was just swimming and aquarobics but I'm planning on starting it tomorrow.
Well better go clean the house tornado Thomas has been through

Weigh In Number 13

I put on .8 on my two weeks holiday how great is that!!! and the best thing I have still lost 20kg. So back into it all now I went to aqua last night and did a few laps, the pool was freezing and I seriously wanted to go home but I realised it was an excuse so me- 1 excuses- 0.

I got my athletes foot shoes before I flew out to Bali here they are

They are so comfy but for the amount I paid for them I suppose they should be. I'm starting the c25k again tonight so excited to test out my shoes. My hubby forgot to bring his camera cord from work so no Bali pictures( we took his work camera) hopefully tomorrow. Well I best be going got to get house ready for inspection tomorrow.

Tootaloo

I'm Back

Well I'm back yay!!!! I'm happy to be home and back into my own routine and my own cooking.
Now to the important stuff well I didn't get my goal of losing weight in Bali, I put on but not very much under a kilo I think, I have weigh in today so Ill come back later with the results. As soon as we got to our resort I realise it was going to be very hard most of the food there was food I don't like such as rice and satays so I did my best with what choices I had. The pool was an odd shape so I couldn't swim real laps but again I did my best. I did lots of walking (and sweating!!) when we went into Kuta, I was hoping to be able to walk outside our hotel (we were in Benoa) but it was too dangerous with a pram.
We had a great time Thomas loved having his dad and poppy around which gave me a fabulous break, we did plenty of shopping and relaxing and at times to many cocktails hehehe.
So straight back into my exercise routine tonight with deep water pump and some laps I'm really looking forward to it.
I wasn't going to go to my WW meeting today I thought Id give myself a week to lose the extra few 100g but I don't want to miss a meeting plus I'm proud of the fact I haven't put on a huge amount in my two weeks away. Hopefully Thomas will behave this time the last time I had to take him he played up a treat I had to leave mind you the meeting is timed when he is meant to be sleeping.
Anyway Ill back later

Weigh In Number 12

I cracked the 20kg mark today woooooohoooo!!!!!I lost 1.7kg this week so that makes it 20.8kg total loss in the 13 weeks I have been doing WW.

I have made my goal for my Bali holiday plus I'm only 1.8 kg from my end of November goal. I'm so proud of myself and I starting to like what I see in the mirror and camera. This picture is me getting ready for my bike ride a bit of a dodgy one but hubby wouldn't get off the couch to take it
mind you he joined me for the bike ride two minutes later!!

So I have 3 days left at home then off to Perth Friday then onto Bali Saturday morning so exciting I'm really looking forward to Thomas's reaction to having his daddy around for two whole weeks he is going to love it. Ive got alot to organise this week I have a house inspection while we are away I'm hoping we can delay it til we get back fingers crossed if not Ive got a lot of cleaning to do, got to do the last minute shopping for animal food, toiletries and essential we need to take for Thomas plus locks for our suitcases. Ive got to find a dog kennel for our dogs since they wont be able to sleep in the laundry, got to get Thomas's haircut tomorrow, my hair done on Thursday night, got to shave Adam's head the list goes on. So best get of here and start I suppose.

Dishes here I come

P.S If I don't get back on here before I go (hopefully I will) Ill be thinking of you all and good luck with the next two weeks

Random Stuff

OK so I was at Autograph yesterday and saw they had some bargains, so I went and tried on some tops, I tried on a size 20 in one top and it was like a tent so I went to get an size 18 and there was none only a 16 so I though why not give it a go and can you believe it actually fit So I'm now a proud owner of a size 16 top obviously it is a very big 16 but I don't care its a 16 in my wardrobe!!!!!!! I also went a bought another pair of workout pants from target that I'm in love with they do wonders for my legs. My legs naked yucky, my legs with these tight workout pants heaven, If only I could wear them everywhere hahaha.
Adam was looking me up and down yesterday while we were talking to his dad, I thought I had something in my teeth so I asked when his dad left why are you looking at me like that he said because you look so great I was perving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it, Love feeling this good about myself, love having a size 16 top hahaha, and love exercise who would of thought that would ever happen.
I'm 5.7 kilos away from my halfway point I cant imagine how great I'm going to feel when I'm in that final stretch bring it on!!!!!!! Oh and bring on Bali, Im challenging myself to lose weight while Im away even if its only 100g Im not going to put on a single kilo thats for sure.
Well that's about all the random stuff for now

Weigh In Number 11

Drum roll Please ............................................................1.8kilo lost this week total of 19.1kg yay!!! I now weigh 110.5 so I'm the skinniest Ive been in 5 years wooooohooooo. I can remember weighing 104kg the last time I joined WW so 6.5kg more and its the smallest I can remember being since I was 17 and then on to the double figures I can hardly wait!!! Ill definitely have my 20kg gone by my next meeting (also the last before my Bali holiday) and Ill be putting my hand up for a bravo star then.
I bought another set of scales that measure fat% because the others stopped working and these ones are telling me I'm fatter than the highest registering percentage so it says ERR-H so I'm hoping it will stop telling me that soon. I also got a new Ipod one of the new release ones and it is fantastic especially the fact I can put Dora and Diego podcasts on it for Thomas to watch when he starts getting tired and cranky just got to get a hard cover for it so he doesn't drop and break it. I got my new phone today to I had to deal with mine telling me the back cover has come off when it hadn't it also froze about 10 times a day so its great to be able to text and it not freeze on me. While on my new things I got my bike this week I went for a ride on Saturday which was fun my butt hurt the next day though I'm hoping it wont hurt as much next time. Adam bought a Wii on Thursday and it is fabulous I was going to wait til Christmas for my Wii fit but I couldn't so I bought it on Friday and that is fantastic too I have muscles hurting that I didn't think I had!!! If anyone is thinking about getting one Do it you ll love it!!
Hmmm what else Well I didn't do as much exercise this week as I usually do because of all different thing but I lost more weight this week than I have in the past couple of weeks I'm guessing my metabolism has decided to start working properly yay.
I bought a pair of jeans the other day in a size 20 and they fit perfectly so impressed with myself I then bought a pair of 18's and tried them on and they do up just that bit to tight my flabby tummy hangs over them so not quite there yet but no doubt it will be soon.
Anyway that's all for now I'm going to play on the Wii fit

Weigh In Number 10

This week I lost 1.5kg a total of 17.3kg gone forever yay me!!!! so now I have 1.3 to lose to get to my Bali goal of 111kg which is also my end of October goal. Ive been thinking about changing my Bali goal to 20kg loss so it will be a bit more of a challenge getting 2.7kg in two weeks. All has been going good I'm sticking to my points and exercise as much as I can I even went for a run on Sunday when the wind was nearly blowing me over hahahaha.
I'm ordered my clothes from Sara on Friday and what was on the back of the ww meeting book this week at 20% off Sara clothes I'm a wee bit peeved considering I spent $300 and could of saved $60 which means I could of bought more hahaha anyway what can you do.
I went over to my friends house yesterday to scab some clothes off her to wear in Bali and she had these cute black short which I have always avoided anyway I tried them on and gees they look fab shes lending me these so I'm going to have to find my own pair for summer I'm planning on buying 5 pairs hahahahah I just cant believe they look good I mean since when do clothes look nice on me!
There is a show on foxtel called X- Weighted its a show about ladies losing weight in 6 months there was a lady on there who weighed 216 pounds and I said to Adam I wouldn't complain if I looked like her he told me I did I said no way do I have legs like that he said the problem with you is it is all in your head you do look like that, I didn't know what to say I still think he was being nice. Although when I was trying on my friends clothes yesterday I could see I had lost weight especially in my tummy and legs oooo and I can feel my collar bones I don't think it will be long before everyone can see them how exciting!!!!! The one area that I'm still not impressed with is the fronts of my thighs i mean they have improved but I want more any ideas how to get them into shape??? I'm getting a bike this week hopefully that will help a bit.
Anyway I best go Thomas is wanting my attention
Tootaloo for now

Picture update at 113.8kg 15.8kg Gone

So heres a picture of me (and Thomas he had to be in it) I really need to stand up straighter especially now that I cant blame my heavy boobs since they arent so heavy anymore!!

Random Stuff

Ive been sneaky I got on the scales nude this morning and I weighed 111.9 yay!!! if only I could be weighed nude at the ww meeting hahahahhaha I don't think so hahahahahaha.
I'm going to town tonight to get my father in law a birthday present and I'm going to put on some nice clothes so Ill get my hubby to take a photo so I can put it on here.
Speaking of hubby he is so proud of me he keeps telling everyone that Ive lost 15kg. He was on the phone to some lovely friends we haven't seen since last December who we are going to meet up with when we are in Perth and was telling them he told me afterwards, I said to him to not tell anyone because I don't look any different and don't want them looking at me thinking where did she lose it from he said that I look a lot different and that he was very proud of me and that he hasn't seen me look this hot in years and then proceeded to ravish me hahahaha love him.
I'm trying to figure out what size clothes to order from SARA for Bali I'm in between a 20-22 so I'm not to sure I might leave it til next week hopefully my measurements might all be a 20 fingers crossed.
Something I forgot to mention with going to Bali is taking my points calculator I had forgotten all about it so all my ww stuff will be coming with me even my food diary.
My nan had to go for tests yesterday as she had a shadow on her lung well it turns out they aren't to sure whether it is breast cancer or lung cancer as it is in between so she has to go to Melbourne (my grandparents live in Tassie) for more tests and start radiation in 6 weeks, she had had breast cancer years ago and had radiation then and got through it so finger crossed it will be a good ending again.
I had a good exercise day yesterday did 16053 steps did 80 laps at the pool and deep water pump class with no floatation.
Food wise was ok I had weetbix for breaky with a banana, I had a curly wurly at morning tea I had been obsessing about it so I just had one to stop, it was 2.5 points and wasn't as good as I remember, lunch I had two toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, I forgot to eat a snack for arvo and boy was I feeling it after my swim I went to the cafe at the pool to get some fruit but they didn't have any so I had to starve till dinner time when I had lamb steak and veggies and for dessert I had strawberries and icing sugar for 1 point and a jarrah hot chocolate yum yum.
Alright better go start the day its nearly 9 o'clock and me and Thomas are still in our jammies

Weigh In Number 9

Drum Roll Please.............................................1.3kg down this week yay me!!!!! So now I'm 2.8kg from my Bali goal and I have 3 meetings left so that's less than a kilo a week very doable. Actually the weigher asked again today what I wanted to be before Bali I told her 111 she said do you think you'll make it I said Ill make sure I do and I will.
Ive been thinking about changing my exercise plan and changing my eating just because I usually eat the same thing for breaky and lunch everyday but I think I might leave it for a bit until my weight loss slows down then Ill change it up for that extra kick start. I got a star pin today I'm not sure why I put my hand up for a little sticker star because Id lost 15.8kg and was given the star pin as well so I'm guessing its for the 15kg loss.
I was having a conversation last night with Ad he was saying he cant remember the last time we had KFC, I couldn't either, he was also saying he is craving chicken and chips and pizza because we haven't had that since I started on my healthy eating. I said we could have pizza if he wanted one night Id just have to have a thin and crispy Hawaiian and only eat 4 slices which would come to 12 points which is the same as Id have if we would have maccas, he said so no whole classic crust meat lovers pizza then I said Id still love to but that's not how I'm eating anymore so no point thinking about it like that. Who would of thought Id say something like that 10 weeks ago!!!!!!!!
Ive been thinking about my eating in Bali a lot lately because I really don't want to go off track while I'm over there to much if any at all, so I'm thinking of taking weetbix over there for breaky and take some jarrah hot chocolate for dessert still. As for the rest of the time well Ive really studied my points books and tried to figure out what the best choices are in the takeaway places and icecream joints. My meals in restaurants that I'm not sure of well Ill just try to make the best decision and make sure that I only eat the correct portion sizes and leave the rest. Plus heaps of walking and swimming, the hotel has a beautiful huge pool so that wont be a worry at all just have to get up early before everyone else gets in there. I was thinking about getting a sling to carry Thomas in while we are there I was going to get it because I would probably be easier than a pram but now I'm think it will be better exercise for me so hopefully our tax will be back in time for me to order one off eBay.

Well I better go for a walk then later Ive got my laps at the pool to swim and aquarobics

Random Stuff

So I bought some new scales from ebay the other day and now of course they have stopped working always the way!! Anyway I got on them the other day with Adam standing right next to me that is the first time he has seen my weight ever!! and the best part is I'm only 7 kilos away from what he weighs yay!!
I just realised that the scales are my third thing to break in the past month first my phone has finally decided to pack it in after I dropped it for the 500th time and then my Ipod decided it had had enough and wont work at all. I'm glad I have my tax money coming so I can buy all new things.
We are going up to Perth a day before we head off to Bali so I can get some new running shoes from the Athletes Foot, I'm going to get there footprint thing done, I'm so excited about it lol who would of thought Id be excited about getting new runners.
During Wednesdays session at the pool I got there a bit earlier so I had finished doing my 60 laps about 15 mins before my aqua class started so I decided to keep swimming instead of stopping and getting cold anyway I did an extra 20 laps so I did 80LAPS!!! WOW!! plus I did the aqua class with no floaty belt on which I loved made me feel like I actually did a workout! (usually I don't I think because I have enough flotation built in without the belt lol)
Its a crap day down here today good thing I went for my walk this morning because it is raining now. I'm really trying not to use my car at the moment just because I really don't need to and because I'm trying hard to make my $50 fuel last 4 weeks Ive nearly made 3 weeks so 1 more to go. The only real reason for me to use it is to go to work on the weekends so it should be quite easy.
Ill also add when I was walking this morning I went to town to take back my library books back now that I don't have any time to read them since I'm to busy being active Ha love it! anyway what I was going to say was I was looking at myself in the shop windows and my legs appear to be getting smaller I mean the 14.5kg Ive lost must be coming off somewhere but when I look in the mirror I just cant see where but in those shop windows some has definitely come off my legs YAY!!
Well that's about all for now Ill be back on Monday with a weigh in update

Weigh In Number 8

2kg down this week and I got my 10% I cant believe how fast it is coming off and I'm not even hungry and I'm eating everything I want to. I had to change my jeans that I usually weigh in because they look like I pooed my pants they are that loose.
I had a glass of diet coke last night and had two sips and gave it to Ad I just didn't want it how fabulous is that!!!
I stopped going to Curves now, Adam has decided to start training his horse again so he now gets the mornings and I get the afternoons, as soon as he finishes work he comes and gets Thomas so I can either go to the pool or do my run thing which is working out great I'm also walking for an hour and a bit on the days that I don't run (Ive tried walking then running and its all to much for my legs at the moment) My eating was good this week I ate a few points over my allowance a couple of days but never more than 2 and even then I had the exercise points to back me up.
My work pants are now falling off me so Ive had to dig some out from my to tight cupboard
which aren't to tight anymore yay!!!
Also 4 more meetings before Bali, the weigher said today what my goal is for Bali I didn't really know now, my goal was to be 116 at the end of September well Ive smashed that (I'm 115.1kg) hahah I'm thinking maybe I should aim for 111 which is what I want to be at the end of October and is also what I was 5 years ago if I remember correctly that would be wonderful.
Well Im going to go for my walk then 60 laps at the pool later this afternoon and then my Aquarobics class afterwards

Weigh In Number 7

Our WW meetings have now changed days and times so my weigh in day is now a Monday at 1145 which is where I have just come from and guess what I lost 2.1kg woooooohooooooo Ive now lost 12.5kg which is about what Thomas weighs. I'm actually starting to wonder whether it is coming off to quickly since slow and steady is the best way to maintain it. The way I'm exercising and eating I feel I can maintain forever so I just don't know I guess it will eventually even out to a kilo or less a week then Ill be wanting more!
We also have a new leader she has lost 35 kilos she was telling us about why she joined weight watcher apparently she was at the Bali water park and got stuck in a water slide her kids had to come and push her out oh wouldn't you be mortified!!
My eating is still going well although this last week Ive haven't eaten as many vegetables as I should have so that can be my goal this next week eat more veggies.
Well tootaloo till next week or before if I have anything interesting to add
Tegan

Weigh In Number 6

Well its been awhile I didn't have a meeting last week so there was no weigh in. Which means double the loss this week drum roll please...... 3.1kg yay me!! so that's a total of 10.4kg so far I'm must say I am quite proud of myself. My pants are even starting to fall off me so ill have to dig out my belt.
My eating has really good Ive stopped buying ww desserts instead I'm having a jarrah hot chocolate with two marshmallows which is 1.5 points. I'm still eating my weetbix for breaky with a banana usually a yoghurt and fruit for morning tea and ham and cheese tortillas for lunch. My arvo snack is the worry i dont really think about it I'm usually doing something so i don't really have it except if i havent had my morning one then ill have it for arvo snack.
My exercise has been going well I'm up to week 3 in my C25k i have one more day left of it then on to week 4 which is has two 5 minute runs in it argh!! Ill figure ill just run as long as i can and if i have to repeat the week again then i will. My boardwalk walks have stopped I've decided to do swims on the days that I'm not doing the c25k just to give my knees a break. I got a membership at the pool today so i can do aqua classes and swims whenever i like now yay!!
So my weekly exercise looks like this
Monday- Curves + Swim
Tuesday- C25K
Wednesday- Curves + Aqua + Little swim
Thursday- C25K
Friday- Curves + Swim
Saturday- C25K
Sunday- Day off/or whatever I feel like
I'm also trying not to use my car as much just to get the extra walking in
At this weeks meeting I got a ww pedometer which i have used today its really cool so far i have 4.5 bonus points, I've done 11044 steps, travelled 7.73km!!!
My Bali trip is 6 weeks away woohoo I'm hoping i can get another 6 kg off by then i think that might be wishful thinking but im planning on working hard for it so maybe not. I'm a bit worried about whats going to happen to my weight over there i think if i concentrate on portion control i might be ok i just don't want to undo all the good work Ive done.
On a sad note my dear friend died this week from Hodgkin's lymphoma after a nearly 6 year battle RIP Nat xxx

Weight loss goals

I have changed them to include a time line

Weigh In Number 4

So it was weigh in last night and I was sure I had put on not because of anything bad I had eaten but because my scales at home were telling me I had I suppose that's what I get for weighing myself at home ha ha. Anywho I lost 1.1kg again yay which is what Id love to loose every week.

I have started the C25k running program where you do alternate running and walking till you are about to run 5km It is a nine week program and I have 9 week (well nearly 8 now woohoo)till I go to Bali so I'm hoping to have it completed or very close to it by the time I go. Im also still walking 6 km most days I say most because the weather here has been horrible I dont mind walking in the rain but when you are completely wet when you step out of the car I ain't walking so Ive miss two walks this week but those days I have done deep water pump and my c25k so I haven't missed any exercise. I also bought a backpack baby carrier to put Thomas in while we are over there so I have to loose at least 12.5 kg to make up for him being on my back.

I have written in my phone that my goal weight by the end of august was 120 so I have 2.3 to loose to get to that which i think is very achievable.

My eating has been going well I made beautiful burgers the other day with the taco seasoning in them they were yummmmmmy and I think for the whole burger I put it at 8 points that included the bread roll and cheese ill definitely be having that again. I'm still having my maccas on a Saturday lunchtime just so I don't deprive myself and If I really want it during the week I just think wait til Saturday instead of obsessing about not being about to have it.

Well thats about all today

Weigh In Number 3

This week I lost 1.1kg yay for me. I am hoping I can continue to loose about a kilo a week till I hit the lower 100's I'm going to give it my best shot anyway. My food intake has been good this week except I'm struggling to eat all my point so I'm going to have three weetbix for breakfast to add a extra point and have a salad sandwich instead of just salad to add the extra bread points. Ive also been walking 6km everyday this week except Wednesday and Ive been to curves 5 times this week so my exercise has been good.
well that is all for now
Tegan

Weigh In Number 2

So I had my weigh in last night and I lost another 2 kg Wooohoooo that makes it 5.1 to date. Im really pleased Ive been going to curves three times a week plus walking the boardwalk every day and I have started to run a little bit of it so Im glad its paid off . I know next week probably wont be that much but thats ok Im feeling alot better for it already.
My points this week have been great I had a bit of trouble the last few days using them all because Ive been having ham and salad for lunch so I may have to add to that a boiled egg for extra points and see how that goes.
Im going to Bali in early October so I worked out yesterday its 10 weeks away so im hoping to have done my 10% (116.9) by then which means I now have 8kg to lose from now til then so thats less than 1kg a week so Im sure it is very possible. When I get down to that weight it will be the same weight I was about 2 weeks after having Thomas when I was breast feeding. Once I lose a kilo more than that it will be the smallest Ive been in 5 years!! Cant wait!!!
I nearly forgot I am getting my Curves Salad Bowl today because I reach my 5kg yay they are so cool.
Anyway I better go make myself and Thomas some breaky

The Weekend

I had a great weekend went to work both mornings at 6.30 and was finished by 11.30. I had weetbix for breaky and a piece of fruit at work. On Saturday I had McDonalds for lunch I had a Mc Chicken burger and medium fries and a diet coke which comes to the grand total of 12 points which worked out good because I had a WW frozen meal for dinner that was 5 points. Sunday lunch was pumpkin soup and a roll and boy that was yum! For dinner I had some lean bacon and poached eggs and two slices of toast also yummy.
For my weekend exercise I walked the boardwalk to the end each day that was hard yakka especially the first day when I had to push Thomas in his pram up the whopping great hill that is there. But Im glad I did it I feel like I achieved something.
Ive been to Curves this morning had my workout there Im planning on doing the boardwalk again tonight so I will have done plenty of exercise today.
I cheated this morning and got on the scales even though I know I shouldnt, I weighed 124.4kg thats naked so Im hoping by Thursday I will still be that with clothes on and after lunch I guess we will have to wait and see.

Weigh In Last Night

So it was my WW meeting last night and I lost 3.1kg woooohoooo very proud. I really had to stop myself from getting on my scales at home yesterday they were calling my name all day hahaha but I resisted and got a good surprise.
Im still going good with the points I just had 2 wholemeal crumpets with honey and banana so thats 3.5 points for breakfast. Last night I had a ww double choc pudding and it was just like the real thing I couldnt believe it. I also had some spiral pasta bog for dinner I weighed everything out and I couldnt eat it all which was a great feeling.
Been to Curves this morning which always make me feel good afterwards even though it is really awful weather outside its good to have gotten my some exercise done.
Well TA TA for now

My Weight Loss Goals and Rewards

I was up early this morning to go to Curves YAY!! the owner trainer there was telling us about going to the kokoda trail in a couple of days time and that it is her holiday. I was thinking about and wouldnt it be great if you would actually want to go do something like for a holiday instead just lazing around hmm well its something to think about anyway.
Ive also been thinking about my weight goals and what I can reward myself with when I get to them so here what Ive thought of:
125- Curves Salad Bowl
120-New Bathers
116-10%- New Curves Shoes
110-Hair Cut and Colour
105-Some New Clothes
100-Wii Fit
95-New Bathers(Ill need them by then)
90-Bike
85-Whole New Wardrobe!!!

So thats what I have so far.

My WW is still going strong I have a meeting tomorrow night I wish it was tonight I really enjoyed last weeks one. I had a WW spaghetti and meatball meal yesterday for lunch it was yummmmmmmmyyyyyy and only 5 points. I had roast beef and veggies for tea last night which was also good I only had half a potato cut into quarters when usually I would of had a whole one so the outcome of that was I wasnt stuffed to the brim which felt nice. For dessert I had a serve of lite jelly and a serve of WW strawberry mousse yum yum ill definitely have that again.
The plan for today swimming at 9.30 well floating around the pool with Thomas and then a few laps (see how many I can do) then hopefully if the weather is nice later go for another walk with Adam when he finishes work.
Tootaloo for now

My first weigh in

So I had my first weigh in at WW on Thursday I weighed 129.6kg that is exactly what I weighed when I was 9 months pregnant AAAARRRGGGHHHH. The good thing is it can only go down because I refuse to weigh that ever again!!!
I had joined Curves in February but had stopped going in April because I realised I was pregnant and my HCG levels were low so I didnt want to do anything to strenuous but unfortunaly it wasnt meant to be and I miscarried in June. So back to Curves I went on Thursday and was told I had to be weighed and measured again so I got there this morning and I weighed drum roll please ..........126.9kg woohoo mind you I had to take my shoes off for that weigh in but at least ive lost something!!
Im finding the points system easy at the moment which is great!! I get 25 points a day.
Well Im off for a walk
