Week 10 weigh-in.

mimbles

Right, that’s it, I’m officially over school holidays. Took the kids with me to the WW meeting this morning and they were angelic, then we went clothes and grocery shopping and they were hideous. They’re now playing in a perfectly normal and happy fashion and it’s driving me demented – I just don’t cope with the noise level 😦 And Tom wants me to get off my PC so he can play on the ABC for Kids website because David won’t let him use his PC, even though Dave’s not using it himself. *deep breath* *count to 10* I only … Continue reading Week 10 weigh-in.

Week 8 weigh-in.

mimbles

I so don’t deserve this this week but I’m going to grab it with both hands and be gleefull all the same 🙂 I made it to my 10kg mini-goal!!!!!I was down 0.8kg this morning despite the straying from the path mentioned in my previous post. That brings me to a total loss of 10.3kg so far and means I can get my hair cut and coloured next week – now I just have to figure out how to manage that when it’s school holidays and I have 3 kids underfoot.

Confessions

Oh my goodness, the last 2 days have been not the best as far as food goes. Big time blowout all round really. I actually felt ill after Dave’s party on Sunday, it would seem my tummy is out of practice when it comes to chips, dips, lollies and cake – I guess I should see that as a good thing though 🙂 Then today I kept finding myself back at the fridge and slipping back into a pattern of eating that I haven’t experienced for nearly 8 weeks. I suppose it takes rather longer than that to really unlearn … Continue reading Confessions

Went a bit snap happy this morning

mimbles

I decided I wanted some “revealing all” pics to serve as benchmarks for future comparison. I think I’m kind of glad there aren’t any like this with the extra 9.5kg still on! I’d just done 45 mins of weights and abs when I got hubby to take these, it’s a testament to my improving fitness and the cooler weather that I’m not dripping with sweat 😛 I can assure everyone there will be no photos of me after a cardio session! And here I am, fit to be seen in public again 🙂 I seem to be unusually happy today, … Continue reading Went a bit snap happy this morning

I managed a 0.9kg loss this week, only 0.5kg off the 10kg loss goal and my hair cut and colour reward – good thing too, my hair is driving me nuts! Exercise this week was as follows: Tues: nilWed: 50 min treadmill (4km, flat)Thurs: nilFri: 45 min treadmill, 15 min abs, 30 min weights (upper body)Sat: 30 min treadmillSun: walked all over Taronga ZooMon: 60 min treadmill (5.2km, flat) I really struggled to do my exercise this week, which I attributed to needing the B12 injection, but my GP rang me yesterday with blood test results from Saturday and it … Continue reading Week 7 weigh-in

Party, Pub and Peregrine Falcon…

…or “My Weekend” 😀 Took myself off to the GP to get my vitamin B12 injection on Saturday morning, as usual I’d left it about a week too late and had spent the last half of the week feeling like death warmed up ( I have pernicious anemia and can’t absorb B12 from food). I was still fairly out of it through Saturday but by Sunday all was back to normal. Saturday afternoon we went to my nephew’s 4th birthday – he had a Star Wars party, my sister had sewed him a Luke Skywalker costume and made an R2D2 … Continue reading Party, Pub and Peregrine Falcon…
