Battling on....

 All is going well.

I am battling on with my weight, last week lost 500g, this week 100g. Seem to have lost my way a little but hopefully I can get myself back on track. I haven't fallen off the wagon, I just haven't been trying too hard. A few extra carbs have been added, haven't been watching the calories as much...but I am trying a bit harder this week.

Not much going on a home. Work hours have been reduced a bit and it hasn't been too busy at work. Still catching up on all the extra jobs that we were unable to do when we we only doing a few hours a day. Shopping centre is starting to look clean again!! 

William has starting playing footy this year (think they call it T-ball for kids his age).....and he is loving it!! Its his first time playing team sports and he is settling into a team quite well.  As yet I haven't managed to get up there and watch but I hope to before they finish up.  Here's a few pics I pinched off Kylee. 

Right, must get ready for work....hope to get a good update done here soon.

Low Carb


 

Another week on Low Carb has gone by, 700 grams off this week. I also do some IF (intermittent fasting). Still slowly but surely dropping down.
Non scale victory this week was fitting back into a pair of black jeans. Its great, love my jeans. 
Snooping around on Facebook and I come across a page called lowcarbssosimple and found these dishes. Both were big hits with us all. Chicken broccoli pie I devoured. I also made one using cauliflower instead as half the house don't eat broccoli. The parmesan chicken wings were yummy. Have a look through the page...recipes are all so simple as the heading states.

Work will be a little slower this week thankfully...two new girls have started. My feet are used to it again, and new shoes are helping too 😃

BTW I work because I still have too. Yes, my husband has retired, but he is 8 years older than me. I don't qualify for a pension yet and unfortunately hubby did not have enough superannuation to support us both. Super didn't start for hubby till he was in his 40's, so unless he paid into it to increase it there was never going to be enough for us to survive without added income/pension. We did not have the extra dollars to add. I don't qualify for a pension for another couple of years...so off to work I must go.

Still going strong


Yesterday I went to my Dr again for my monthly review. Scales were down again, and she was happy with how I was going. We sat down and worked out food strategies for the next month..and she encouraged me to try different foods and recipes. I am one of those that if it works I keep doing it/eating it till of course it tends to become boring.  So it’s onto another month and I’m ready for it. The saying above comes from her, she said it to me as we wrapped up my appointment. 

I am back at work just about full time again. After months of very few hours these past few days of  full time shifts have been really hard. Oh my feet are killing me....and the rest of my workmates. 

Anyways, just a quick one tonight, I’m tired, my feet are killing me so I’m off to bed. Another long day tomorrow, and then I come home to William and Summer. Kylee’s finishes days off and starts her next round of nights. 

Will try and update again soon.

Night night...
