Ye gods, what a weekend. Shall I lay it out in all its glory? Yes, I think so, here goes: Friday night – apparently I’m not very good at saying no to something if I’m already paying for it, which meant that I ended up splurging my 4 saved points and going into debt another 8 points on pizza and pasta. I did restrain myself to one glass of champagne though. This would have been OK if it was not for…. Saturday – I survived the afternoon tea part of Chocky’s Shindig with my points count unscathed but my emotional … Continue reading I am wiped out.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous post, it has been very difficult to stay motivated this week and it really helps to have your support. Oh, and Tina, of course you may link to my blog 🙂 The Deadwood ploy seems to be working, yesterday despite my motivational slump, I was up at 6:00am on the treadmill and then went for a 40 minute bush-walk with Tom (my 4 year old) and my mum. Thank god we were going at Tom’s pace, I was totally knackered by the end – it’s completely unreasonable having all those hills … Continue reading

I was woken today with the news that a very dear friend had passed away early this morning. I first met Than, better known as Chocolate, in August last year when he was persuaded through the underhanded use of subliminal messages to come along to a Browncoats Shindig. In the short time since then he had become a good friend to me and to many of the Serenity Oz forum community. Chocky was admitted to hospital only a couple of weeks ago and was diagnosed with lung cancer a week later, the doctors telling him he had a matter of … Continue reading Rest in peace my friend

On Saturday I’m going out with the Browncoats for yum cha at Pitt St Vegetarian and then we are heading down to The Rocks with the intention of setting up base camp in the beer garden at The Orient and sending out small parties on forays around the shops and markets. I anticipate some no small challenge to my points allowance! I have perused the Eating Out guide but am none the wiser on the subject of points values for vegetarian yum cha – I shall simply have to take my best guess. I’ll avoid anything fried or with excessive … Continue reading Planning ahead

Here’s me , about 17 years ago and weighing aproximately goal weight. I’m looking forward to finding out what this girl looks like at age 36 (or thereabouts). She’s in here somewhere, just got to let her out for the world to see 🙂 Continue reading Inspiration

I’ve lost another 1.5kg which for some absurd reason I am not that excited about. Maybe it’s lack of sleep. I *know* I shouldn’t even try for more than the recommended 0.5 – 1kg loss each week but I guess I’m a little impatient 😛 I gave the credit card a beating this morning and bought a new pair of walking shoes, that puts paid to the “my sneakers are disintegrating” excuse. I’ll have to justify the expense by carrying through with my walking plan now, won’t I? I hearby promise that I will do 30 minutes on the treadmill … Continue reading Weigh in day again
