December Update

Well yes it's that time of the year, where we're told not to over indulge and to eat in moderation.

Also if we fall off the weight wagon to just start fresh the next day.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

We're off out to our son-in law's parent's place for Christmas this year. So I have no idea what we are going to be having for Christmas lunch. But I do know I shall enjoy it very much and just start again on the 26th.

I'm still loosing weight, I was 84.7 yesterday morning. Khris and I seem to have found it hard to get motivated for walking in this time of the silly season. Once she is back from Queensland I'll have to kick our bums and get out walking again.

So from this want- a-be but slimmer woman, to you out there Merry Christmas and stay safe on the roads.

What The Doctor Said.

Oh I am a happy, slimmer woman today.....

Pat needed to see our family doctor and so I thought, I'd get an idea of my height and ideal weight range for me.

Its there in black and white.... so I have amended my height and weight I would like to aim for.

I'm nearly out of the obese range and into the over weight range. I'm stoked!!!! I can't remember the last time I was under 85 kilo, back when I was working, over 8 years ago at a guess.

Onwards and upwards..... or should that be downwards (weight wise.)

Another One Bite The Dust.

Yay....I have once again shifted my lovely little butterfly along the chart scale. Another kilo bites the dust.

This week coming is going to be a testing time for me as my walking buddy is going home to Queensland for a week. So if I don't get out and pound the pavements on my own, I'll be in the gym room on the treadmill each night.

Might end up posting here a bit more, to clear my head as I won't have Khris to chew her ear off instead.

Tomorrow my niece is getting married, so I'm not going to be stressing out too much about what I eat. She's only going to be married once and so I'm going to enjoy the day 100%.

Fruit Loaf

I have a fruit loaf cooking in the bread maker. Oh it smells so yummy....... but I'm going to be good and not have a slice until tomorrow for breakfast.

On a different note, if I jump on my scales and hold my cat Lucky at the same time, my weight is what it was when my journey started earlier this month.

Instead of thinking I've lost a 2 kilo packet of sugar, I'm now thinking........... I've lost my beautiful cat.....lol

That is so cool.

Khris & I did get a walk in last evening. The promise of rain followed us for the hour, but only a very light mist fell for a couple of minutes.

This afternoon I walked for 20 mins and then did weights for 20 mins. By then the Supernatural DVD had run its 40 min course.

One thing that has stood out is my sleep pattern has changed. I'm no longer laying there for up to an hour waiting to fall asleep. Also I am not waking up much through the night, unless Pat wakes me. This makes me so happy.

Anyway...better go and find something to keep my mind and nose off that fruit loaf cooking...............

Today's Weigh In

Not for me it isn't.....lol

I'm stoked as this week I lost weight.......YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

All up I have now lost 2.4 kilo and I'm grinning from ear to ear.

The extra walking and smaller meals and 5 a day not 3 is helping. I'm learning more about the info on foods and I'm now eating fruit. Yep fruit!!! I'm more of a vegie girl, but I'm learning to eat fruit and enjoy it. I must say I do like the tropical fruit to pears and apples.

Today its raining here, so no walk today. After tea tonight I'll use our treadmill up in the gym and play a DVD to stop me being bored.

Khris also gave me some digital bathroom scales to use. Thanks Khris, save you dragging yours over when we go walking and I'm having a fit , if my weight has gained.

Walks off into the sunset....... singing......... I've lost something and I am feeling wonderful.....lalalala

My Reward

Today Pat & I were in the city and while there we took a tram to Hettie's Patch and I rewarded myself with some beautiful fabric for loosing 2 kilo.

I thought 1/4 metre per 500 grams was a good call.

I have a feeling I have put it back on now though....... bugger hey???? A busy last weekend and today wasn't a good day eating wise..... gone from 8.45 this morning to 4.30 in the afternoon. Finished off the day with fish & chips as we're both too darn tired to cook any tea.

Gee if this is the case, do I take the fabric back and get a refund.......lol
