LOST 2.7 KG IN FIRST WEIGHT IN FOR 2007

Well I am stoked, after a hard week it has all paid off with a 2.7kilogram loss:-)

Stayed for the meeting today, and one of the weigh ladies commented on how lovel I looked. Always a good thing to receive a nice compliment from anyone.

I have the full support of my husband and family this time around. He is even asking me to make him my special fruit shakes every morning. Today I made low fat hotdogs with onion, cheese and bacon ofr lunch to spoil ourselves. They were scrummy.

Been for a walk with the kids most days this week, as well as rollerskating with Chloe on Monday - we had a ball, and I am taking them both on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see how Bailey goes for the first time. Anyway it is an enjoyable form of exercise and something a little different to the norm.

Anyway, that is the latest on the weight front, Ill try to keep up the positve talk and be back within a few days for the next update, Bye til then.............

SO FAR SO GOOD :-)

Okay, so it has now been 4 full days back on the band wagon, and I must say I am happy with the start so far....apart from a few minor slip ups being-

DAY 1 - Ate a packet of sundried tomato & ricotta cheese appetizers.
DAY 3 - A couple of handfuls of doritos chips at my sisters house.
DAY 4 - McDonalds for lunch. ( lean beef burger, medium chips + diet coke)

Anyway the point being I counted it all into my points and apart from day 1, I am doing okay. I have been eating lots of fruit and Bailey loves my fruit shakes, although Chloe dosnt really have a thing for them. Today I mowed the front and back lawns before it got too hot, and then drank 1.5 litres of water in about 20 minutes - I was knackered. That is a good thing though as I have not done any exercise much lately. Still havnt got into the full on walking routine, but have been taking the kids for a bike ride every day, so as they get more used to it and quicker, so will I. It has got to be better than sitting on the couch at home.

Anyway have been very busy with work this week, getting all the 1/2 yearly clearance done, to make way for all the new stock coming in at the start of February. I am really enjoying it immensely as it keeps me busy. I much prefer selling online and at the shop than doing the party plan (although alot of people have been holding the parties at the shop - which is fabulous) as there is no loading and unloading, and they also reap the benefits as all the stock is available to buy.

  • Anyway I am looking forward to the rest of the week and trying to stay on track. I know I will have some minor setbacks along the way, but I really have to do this..... I should start a count down until Leahs wedding on the 1st December, I simply do not want to be a fat bridesmaid AGAIN :-(

    I'M BACK - FOR GOOD THIS TIME

    Well it has been awhile, but I am finally back.... It has been a very busy and hectic year, I am starting to update my blog and will be adding some new weights & measurements over the next few days.

    I have started back at ww today, weighing in at what I basically started at last time. There comes a point in my life where I say to myself "enough is enough." I didnt reach my goal by 30, but had a fabulous time and a great party. The kids and hubby are all well, just need to work on the ME side of things again.

    I have really let myself go lately, mind, body and soul, and it is time to get things right. Thanks to Alea and Paulene, who were still trying to find out how I was doing right up until a few weeks ago. I think I honestly forgot all about my blog - maybe it was denial cause I knew I was failing - who knows. Anyway I will get around to saying hi again very soon - I promise.

    I know there is no excuse, but I started up my own ebay busineess and we have been flat out - it isnt even the excuse that I had no computer :-( Anyway Xmas has been very hectic and all is going really well. It is great as I can work from home (or the inlaws shed) but still be there for the kids, schooling etc.

    Anyway Im going to cook tea - back soon.
