Still grinning.....


Still grinning from ear to ear ..... achieving goal was a dream, after 18 months of ww's I was beginning to wonder if I ever was going to get there. Today has been a real hungry day, and I have been battling with the carbs....just want to eat but doing the best I can to keep it under control. I am still tracking, tracking.....
The pic shown was taken at Easter before I started ww.....looking at pics like this shows me how far I have come. Just added up my measurements...I have lost a staggerring 138cms.....wowwwwwwwww!!!
I want to THANK each and everyone of my online friends and fellow bloggers and blogger readers for all of your support on my journey....without some of you I know I wouldn't have made it, I know that, you have kept me going!!! This journey has been more than a weight loss one, I have made some lifetime friends along the way, so I have lots to be thankful for. And THANKS for all the lovely comments on my achieving goal post....

Housewarming ....






Yesterday afternoon we travelled up to Collie (40 minutes drive) to son Simon and Tracey's for a bbq. They recently bought the house they are in and were celebrating with a housewarming. It was a delightful afternoon catching up with family, friends, meeting new friends and neighbours of my son and just enjoying my darling little grandies.

The afternoon was only marred by the temper tanty #3 son had earlier on in the day which left me in a emotional upheaval....some days I really despair about that young man!! I don't envy Hannah and the little girls and pray everyday he will wake up to himself. They too will be living up in Collie as of Monday, maybe now they have a stable base he will find himself work and settle down some.

But anyways the arvo and evening was great....enjoy the pictures. The family one is 4 generations together....me, my mum, my son and his 4 kids. The others are me and my hubby, me and my bro, and me and my little bubba boy Thomas....hasn't he just grown so much?? They only 40 minutes away but I miss them so much....
Ooops nearly forgot.....weigh in tomorrow night....I missed last Wednesday weigh due to working late so its been over a week.....I have been real good, so hopefully those demon scales will be kind....

Read this today....

Smiling is infectious, you can catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin,
when he smiled,
I passed it on to him.
So if you see a smile begin don't leave it undetected.....
lets start an epidemic,
quick,
and get the world infected!!

Worked late.....



Worked late today and was too late to make ww meeting. Knew we were going to be working late, but we had 2 workers off sick today so that made it just that little bit harder getting jobs done. That meant we had to stay that bit longer to get the orders done. Can tell you it is never dull at the funny farm!! Anyways wasn't too worried about missing meeting as last night my tummy was tender and bloated and it was a bit that way today.....so maybe the scales wouldn't have been kind to me. I have had a great week otherwise thou....so next week will go back to my old meeting and weigh in on Monday evening.

I was out walking this morning, and this person I don't know from a bar of soap....other than to say "good morning, how you doing?'' as we pass one another...told me I needed to dress more appropiately for my age !!


Wellllllllllllllllll to say the least.....I was stunned!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!


grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Weighed in tonight at a new meeting...and gained 200grams....
I am so over it.....but there is light at the end of the tunnel, the leader at this meeting I went to was ever so helpful....and came up with a few ideas I haven't tried....so I am going back there next week and see what happens. She even suggested putting me on the maintenance program to see what happens to my old bod!! But we going to give these ideas a go first.....can only try. 1) suggests cutting DOWN my excersise
2)different food for breakfast/lunch/dinner
3)start the program from day 1 again.
Thats just a few of the ideas she gave me.....so it is out to the kitchen for me now and get the Annette Syms books recipe books out...and the new WW book I bought tonight...and start a planning. One will be breakfast before heading off to work..usually I don't have time to have time for much, usually have it at smoko time at 10am. Now with less walking in the morning I will.....
Here we go again..................
