Monday Weigh In Week 17 & Star Challenge Week 7

Had a great week this week. Stuck with the program and the Star Challenge of dairy.
My loss this week was small only 300 grams but still its in the right direction. I do seem to have a few problems with carbohydrates. (They dont seem to like me very much ie. pasta, rice, bread etc) I have to be very diligent and watch these and increase my protein. I am working on it. No the TWINS havent arrived as yet, we are all still waiting - not too patiently now.!!!
I had a fantastic day on Saturday 23rd August - we had our old Primary School Centenary and met up with quite a few of my old classmates from way back when. OMG it was a funny seeing how they have changed. Also ran into one of our old Sunday School Teachers which was quite good & caught up with everything they have all been doing over the past 40 years or so. Really doesnt seem that long ago. Actually, couldnt possibly be. Arrrgggghhhh I'm NOT that old really !!!!! LOL Still managed to stick to the program which was a bit difficult since there was NO real food available nor any choices. We all went back to the local bowling club and there they put on chicken and corn soup & a bread roll. Nothing too fancy or flash that was it. I however only had 1 southern and coke and then drank water - for which i am very proud of myself as all the others had quite a few. LOL. Sunday was another good day. Went to visit Mum and try to sort out her water leaking problem - still not working properly but getting there. My Kangaroos got done by 5 goals against an inform Geelong side but they still did very well indeed, so i was happy with their result. Monday was spent shopping for the week and writing menus etc. The housework has been kept up to date & everything kept organised. Its now only a waiting game.
Until next week.
Stay safe.

Monday Weigh In Week 16 & Star Challenge Week 6

This week has been a great week after my big birthday week last week. I worked hard this week to keep my weight on track after the big splurge last week. I know it didnt show on the scales last week and i knew that if i wasnt careful this week it would definately show up. However after weighing in this week with a new weigher (one who doesn't take the weight of your shoes off your weight) i was still lucky to lose another 500grams. So all up i have lost 14.8 kgs.
Our week here has been busy. My DD must be nesting as she has cleaned and thrown out and re-arranged our whole house. The floors are spotless. She has scrubbed all the grout with a toothbrush and polished and shined everything that can possibly be shined. She is so bored with all this waiting around for the TWINS to arrive. She is ready now for them to come. All in good time, i keep telling her. Secretly wishing they would arrive soon, to ease her boardom. My football team won their game on the weekend which was great as it places them in a good position for the finals. I didnt go this weekend because i was worried that my DD just might go into labour. As i sit here typing, still we are waiting. All i can say is that we are ready whenever it is.
Well my next goal is to get to 84.2kgs which is a 15 kgs loss and i am only 02 away from that so i'm working towards that next week.

Until then take care stay safe and i will report in again next week.

Monday Weigh In Week 15 & Star Challenge Week 5

This is a quick update before i actually go and weigh in. The star challenge for me this week didn't happen. I have heel spurs and cant walk or exercise without excruciating pain anyway i have decided to get some new runners for my birthday and try and do some sort of walking or step exercise. so i will concentrate on exercise next week and do sugar this week. I don't have a lot of sugar so the challenge this week was good, until Friday Night. OMG did i let my hair down.. not intentionally either. My close girlfriends decided to take me and Krystal out for BRUNCH - OK can make a really good choice here. Poached eggs on small piece of toast with Sm bit of bacon & chamomile tea. Yeah not doing too bad just yet. Skip lunch cos we did eat really late. Mum came over for my birthday with the plan that we would go out for tea to our favourite Restaurant.. instead we decided to get take away from there, bring it home and watch the football. All going according to plan points within range almost. Everything looking good. Until Krystal's brother to a previous marriage came in with a bottle of Southern Comfort for my birthday and coke and diet coke cos he wasn't sure which one i would prefer. Oh well by the end of the bottle i didn't really care which coke i was drinking. EWWWWWW shouldn't of done that. That blew the points right out of the water, but i did have a few saved from the week. OMg but not that many. LOL so i am DEFINITELY NOT expecting a loss this week. I just hope the gain isn't TOO bad. thank god my birthday is only ONCE a year. Anyway not to be outdone my neighbour came over for coffee as well and i offered her a drink of southern so out came the 2nd bottle. LMAO F**K. WHY WHY WHY did i do this. 2am in the morning my 40th with GST, postage & handling finished. Thank god it wasn't a HUGE celebration. Well its was but anyway lets just move right along now to the weigh in which will happen tonight.
However i did get a fantastic set of Mundial Knives & some lock and lock containers from my DD for my birthday, new runners from my mothers (here comes the exercise), $100 Bunnings voucher from DD B/F, money for the movies, taken out to brunch, $100 from my DF for a new dressing gown (since my is disgusting lol)bunch of flowers not too bad for an old girl. LOL
Will update again later today with my weigh in details.
oh yes i did exercise yesterday for 12 mins on my step and this morning for 15 mins. I am also nearly DEAD so i may not get to post anymore. hahahaha

As i previously stated i would post my gain this week. well to my surprise i lost weight and i am extremely happy about. 600 grams this week. wooo hoo so i really do have to concentrate next week and put it all together.

Another great win for my Rooboys too. Come on North lets see if we can get in the four.

Until next week!! Good luck !!

Monday Weigh In Week 14 & Star Challenge Week 4

Yes i know i'm really slack but i promise i will keep this updated from now on in. Ok this week i have tried really hard with the Star Challenge it was staying within your points. I'm usually pretty good with this so it wasnt too hard for me. I am trying to vary my diet so as i am not eating the same things over and over. Krystal my DD is keeping me very busy with last minute preparations on the impending arrival of her TWINS due now September 3rd 2008!!! Can't wait. The cot is in place now so its just a matter of waiting. Last report at the Hospital for Krystal was all good and the boys now weighing in at 2 kgs & 2.2 kgs. I also went to the doctors and my update is get on the waiting list for a fusion on my neck. This waiting list is approx. 8 - 10 months long. So plenty of time to enjoy the twins before my operation. The nerve Block they tried to do was a complete shambles & i finished up leaving the hospital without them doing anything after being stuck in the CT machine for 40 mins. NEVER going back there AGAIN !!!!
Oh and my weight loss for this week was 700 grams. all up 13.7 kgs. Not too bad. Dont expect miracles next week cos its my birthday. !! will keep you posted next time.
