Well, I seem to have survived Easter rather well indeed! I’ve lost 1.6kg in the last week leaving me with 1.6kg to go till my 10% and 3.1kg away from my 15kg goal. I’ll be weighing on Wednesday morning next week because of Anzac Day *pouts* I don’t want to have to wait an extra day to see how I’m going *LOL* Continue reading Week 9 weigh-in.

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. Continue reading Week 8 weigh-in.
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
It turns out not to be possible to create a birthday cake for one of my kids without lots of tasting and nibbling. Never mind, I only do it 3 times a year, besides it was yummy! Here’s the finished product – a Bug Garden cake for David’s 9th birthday party tomorrow. Continue reading The hazards of cake decorating
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
…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…
Another 0.8kg gone 🙂 I love seeing my little sailing boat jump a little further down the beach each time I update my ticker – very gratifying! Continue reading Week 6 weigh-in
Over the last week, in response to a challenge posted on the WW boards by Lesley aka Dim, I had planned to increase my exercise from 3 x 30 min of walking to 3 x 40 min of walking. As it happens my ambitions were too modest, here’s what I actually managed: Tues: nilWed: nilThurs: 60 min treadmill (5km, flat)Fri: 40 min bushwalk with Mum and Tom (at 4 year-old’s pace :P)Sat: 60 min treadmill (5km, flat), 60 min weights and absSun: 30 min treadmill (2.5km, incline 4), 15 min absMon: 45 min walk with Mum (moderate/active), 40 min weights … Continue reading Exercise Diary and Trivial Pursuits
