Christmas is over.....

boyyyyyyyy did I have fun.......

I had just as much as the grandies (only had 5 of them here)... I even played on toys I gave 'em !!!

I ate way too much, and having troubles still controlling the nibblies.... feel as thou I have put on heaps of weight, I feel bloated, but have kept the water and excersise up at least....

I don't weigh myself at home, only use the ww meetings ones...so have no idea what damage I may have done.

Am now waiting for granbaby #9 to make its appearance.....due this weekend sometime hopefully.....all of us waiting for the phonecall....any bets on a after midnight call on New Years Eve?? I lost my bet...I really thought it would be born yesterday or today....could have got out of work then too...hehehehe

ohhhh I betting on a boy....eeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk could I be wrong there too???

Just wanted to wish one and and all

a Very Merry Christmas....

I am nearly ready....been running around most of the day cleaning house and getting food organised, wrapping the last of the pressies as first thing in the morning I am off to Perth to pick daughter Kylee up for her first Christmas at home with her family since she left 3 years ago.....yayyyyyyy. It is going to be a surprise...I only just told hubby today she was coming home...but none of the other family members do...

Everyone have a great day, be happy, take care and be safe .....

Tired......

Work has been so busy of late...the weather has been hot and humid ... and I have been so tired. Been a few nights where I have had very little sleep...even one night found me out sitting at the kitchen bench with cuppa and the bikkies reading...
I have forgotten to take medication a few mornings before going to work and I guess that hasn't helped ..... and lack of sleep and the humidity has made me cranky......but it is the eating I am worried about. Am great during the day, everything is planned but in the evenings I am falling into real bad habits again and I know it and not stopping myself. Even my walking has been slack because I am tired....
Roll on Friday and the last day of work for 4 whole days.....yayyyyyyyyy

I got seasick.....

Went out fishing on Sunday with hubby and boy did I suffer......Ted reckoned I was soooooooooo green!!! I love my fishing espesially out in the boat but unfortunately 9 times out of 10 if the ocean has a bit of a swell on it and the boat starts rocking my tummy starts churning and thats it for me......

I have now bought some "Travacalm" tabs to see if they are going to help me....will try them out over the chrissy break. I love my boat and my fishing..more so when the fish are biting of course....so I'll be out there again..

Didn't weigh in tonight....and the next 2 Mondays are public hols (Xmas day and New Years Day) so think maybe I will have to go to a meeting in Bunbury on another evening,,,,just to keep me on track.

My daughter Kylee weighed in tonight in Doncaster.....yayyyyyyy she lost 900grams....thats 3 kilo's in 3 weeks....good on ya girl....

Smiling again ....

I am feeling better.....sort of got myself together again, walked for 50 minutes this morning and have been trying to make wise food choices, not always with success but I feel heaps better. Last night we had drinks after work and the choices were very easy to make as my boss and his wife and my workmates have watched me "shrink" before their eyes this year... they (my boss and his wife) have converted to the WW lifestyle. ...so all food and drinks were diet, low cal or healthy. They all helped me realise what an awesome effort I have achieved this year....it was the shakeup I needed, they sounded so proud of me. My friends online have been sooooo supportive of me too these last few days and have been helping me try to stay positive....but the boost from my peers put things in a different perspective...and made me smile again. ohhhhhhh by the way my boss has lost 9 kilo's and his wife has lost 13......and they thank me for making them realise how easy it is to change their lifestyle habits.

Christmas is just around the corner.....now my goal is to keep on smiling, stay positive ..... and to keep on maintaining my weight till the New Year .....then goal will be mine. Despite the emotional rollercoaster rides my son sends me on I will succeed...eventually I will...I have promised myself that and I am stubborn so I WILL succeed.

Can't help myself.....

....I can't stop eating.....I am binging at night....eeekkkkkkkkkk!!!! Talk about self sabotage....It's my good friend comfort food...CHOCOLATE!!!

Bad Jen !!!!

Have had major problems with son going off the rails and been all churned up inside but I thought I had been handling my emotions quite well.....obviously not!! A lot of the problems with son have been resolved but there is STILL a long way to go there yet...a long way!!!! I am sitting here this morning feeling absolutely drained...I cannot find the energy to walk...

Going to try to be like my friend Bugs here and eat healthy....at least I work in the right place.....

Good news, Bad news...

Well the good news is my daughter joined ww when I was over there and she is going soooooooo well. She sms'ed me tonight with the news of a 1.6 k loss....awesome my girl.

Now me.......shucks...I gained 500 g at my weigh in tonight but I expected to see a difference in between my ww scales and Victorian ones...so wasn't disappointed. Was happy though that in the 2 weeks I was away I lost a kilo on my weigh in scales....so gotta be happy with that!! Still a 60's girl.....

Sooooo what do you think of the pic of me and my girl....I love it!! Berrie took it when I took Kylee out to meet her and to say cyaaaa before I left. Carol and Berrie says she looks like me....I can only see the smiles the same...but whatever, I love her to bits.

Met TinyDonna

TinaDonna drove down to Geelong after her ww meeting last Saturday, picked me up in her gorgeous little yellow car and we drove out to Berrie's. Wowwwwwwww it was so good meeting her too, and yep she is Tiny. She has the biggest gorgeous smile....and is a real supermodel ... Go Donna...and thank you ....

Meeting Berrie....

One of my main highlights of the trip has been meeting my good friend, my support, my encouragement, my rock ... Berrie. She has followed my journey, been there through my tears, my cries and all the highs and lows and helped keep me going. And she has also offered the same support to my daughter Kylee has she begins her journey....
Thank you darl......

Meeting Maria

Maria and I have been in contact for nearly all my ww journey and has been a great friend and support to me.....so it was great to finally meet my friend in person. Maria is also going to be a support for daughter Kylee if needed. Thanks Maria...

Pics of holiday

These pics were taken on the Friday when I picked up my little red hire car. One of our first trips was to the Botanical Gardens where we walked for over 3 hours.....It was so worth seeing, absolutely beautiful. Kylee and her boyfriend enjoyed it too even though they both had been there before.

Getting there......

Wooooohoooooooo went to meeting here in Doncaster again....and yay lost 300g, so only 700 grams to go!!! How close is that ehhhhh? Will now be able to get to goal at my own meetings, hopefully in the next week or so if I stay focused. My daughter joined up last week and this week lost 700 grams, yayyyy go girl. Her boyfriend joined up last night, so it will be great that they will be doing ww together. Tammi, the leader, is great too, so enthusiasic and upbeat.

I have had a great week....to start off I met the lovely miamaria from the forums, was lovely Maria, I enjoyed meeting you, as did Kylee. And Kylee will keep in touch Maria....

Then I went off down the coast to Geelong...where I drove out from to meet my lovely friend Berrie.......wowwwwwww it was lovely to finally meet someone who has helped, supported, encouraged and offered unbelievable friendship to me. We chatted and chatted, and took pics...and chatted some more. Berrie is looking really great and is so small. And yes Carol, gave her lots of hugs, enough hugs for both of us.

Then on Saturday TinyDonna drove down, picked me up and we went out to Berri's again....what a lovely lovely day we had. Donna is absolutely gorgeous and is looking so good, and tiny ... and her smile is sooooo beautiful!!

Today Kylee came down to Geelong on the train and we went out and Kylee met Berrie, and I was able to say byessssss to her before we drove back to Melbourne.

Girls it was awesome meeting you all...

And everyone...I fly home on Wednesday, I will update blog with all the great pics I took...
