Another weekly check in….



 And another weigh in…..and another sts 🤷‍♀️

No loss in 2 weeks. No idea why. I’m tracking, I’ve followed my plan, I’ve not cheated so I just have to believe in the program and carry on. 

My weight has always yo-yo’ed. No one to blame but me 🤦‍♀️ 

I’m the problem, just can’t help myself. Go so well for weeks, then indulge, then indulge some more, gain weight then think ahhh well I’ll get that off again, will start again next week…so indulge more till “diet” day again. I sabotage myself time and time again. 

But I didn’t this time, my body must be playing catch up since I detoxed 2 weeks ago.

I went down to my sisters on Wednesday morning, and caught up with some friends and relatives and stayed the night at my sisters yakking and catching up with her and her hubby. One visit we did was to my Auntie Yvonne. She lives out on the family farm, the farm where my mum grew up. Two of mum’s brothers (one being Aunties husband) worked the farm till they retired and passed it on to Aunties only son.



You can see Aunties house above the waterslide in the 1st pic, 2nd pic is her sons house.


Many a happy time has been spent out the farm over the years. In 2024 it will a 100 years since my grandparents settled on this farm. Already plans are in place to celebrate the centenary.

Thursday after breakfast and lots more yakking we toured the op shops, caught up with more relatives before I had to turn the car north and head home. 

One of the 1st things I did on arriving home was check my “Lady of the Night” cactus (succulent). It had 18 flowers this flowering but I had missed most of them opening fully or all together. 

My sister had 14 on her plant which was my mum’s, mine is a cutting from it. Wednesday night the last 6 of hers flowered, the perfume on her patio was gorgeous. 

I had one flower left so I made sure I was there from bud to fully open. 

This flower only lasts the 1 night and when it opens fully it has a perfume that is out of this world.






Isn’t it just gorgeous?

  1. I have never heard of that plant before. Thanks for taking the pictures for us!

    I totally hear you on the sabotage thing. I do it as well. It is just a matter of if it is early or late in the weight loss time line.

  2. I have been sticking with the diet and only lost 0.6 pounds. The same as last 2 weeks. I was really hopeful this week would see a bigger loss. But like you said I have to believe in the plan. The farm looks lovely. How wonderful that it has been in the family almost 100 years! Yes you must celebrate that.

  3. I don’t know this plant…but it is gorgeous! Wish blogs had smell-o-vision!

    I am the queen of self sabotage. So it makes it even more frustrating when you maintain and know you didn’t self sabotage! But hang tight…the numbers will catch up to your efforts!
