Taking a break

I am taking a break from weighing in. I am over dieting, counting points, counting calories, fasting…. I’m sick of the whole merry go round I’ve put myself on. I’m over it….I keep self sabotaging myself, then think what the heck, over eat, hate myself and go back “dieting”

I AM DONE

I’m giving myself a rest.

Today I started packing my bag for our holiday. Found out all my fat comfy clothes, I’m going to enjoy this break. We leave Friday. I work Monday to Thursday so only have Sunday to finish getting myself organised. I work tomorrow morning, go home, get changed, drink a coffee then I have Williams soccer game to go too, and then I’ll do the rest of our shopping. 

Got a message from Centrelink the other day, August 20th I start getting the “aged” pension….I can officially retire from work if I want too. I apparently can earn $320.00 a fortnight without my pension being effected so till we organise my retirement holiday next year I will organise to only work 3 shifts a fortnight from that date. 

Right….time to go shower and organise myself for my early morning shift. 

Another weigh

On this day in 2018 we were in Dayton, Ohio at the Ham radio Fest. Hubby and I were talking about it this morning and saying how lucky we were we got the trip in before Covid.

  

What a trip it was….5 days there meeting all hubby’s radio friends in person. Then on to LA, then Alaska before cruising the Inside passage to Vancouver, meeting a longtime Facebook friend there before flying to London. Would I do it again…..hell  yes!!!  So much there we didn’t do that we would like to do….but don’t know if we will get there again. Next in line is New Zealand, done day trips at a few places our cruise ship stopped in, but hopefully next time we’ll hire a camper van and go touring.

Today, weigh in day. Down 400grams. Last few days of WW, I’ve dropped the membership for the time being, was just wasting my money.  See what I can do without it. Still have 3 kilo to go to get to my lowest weight I achieved before losing the plot.

Went to Williams soccer game. Played defence and wow he was good!! He reckons it’s his favourite position to play. 

Right, I’m out of here. Been a glorious day, calm before the storm I think as tomorrow a big front is coming in and bring thunderstorms. I’ve washed today so better go and get it off the line.

Catch you next time. 

 

It’s wet and miserable…

 A wet and cold miserable day here today.

Was going to go to William’s soccer game today but after a bad night I was tired and not up to it. Was a away game and it being cold and wet I decided against it. Apparently they had an epic game and even managed to score a goal. Not bad for a team of under 9 boys, 95% of them never played the game before!!

I’m disappointed now that I missed it. 

Weigh in day. Managed to lose some of my big gain of last week but still got 1.4 to get down to the weight of my 1st weigh in of this round. But I’m feeling a lot better for the week on track. I’ve relaxed a little today and had a few small indulgences but tomorrow it’s back to it. 

Just over 2 weeks to go and I’m off work and on leave. So looking forward to it.  Shawn and Skye will be here to feed the cat, chooks and ducks. 

Skye is working 3 or 4 shifts a week at my work place doing the night clean. Not over keen about it but looking forward to her first pay 💰                                        I was very surprised that she even took the job, she is as lazy as but watching her do her work it was good to see her do an amazing job. 

A new round….

 My online weight loss group does “rounds” every 3 months. Last one was 1st February to end of May. I lost 1.6 kilo’s. New round started on 1st May and will end end of July. I weighed in Saturday with a nearly 2 kilo gain 🐖😞  I’m so over myself.  I’ve cancelled WW, I’m paying monthly for nothing, I’m sabotaging myself time and time again. I need to get my head in the right space and for the millionth time start again. 

I WILL NOT QUIT. 

Continued from last week…..

 

So….after I wrote post last week I continued on being a real 🐖  🐷  for a few days before I finally got my act together. OMG those scales of mine weren’t happy with me at all. But I did keep it together and got most of the weight off….then can you believe it ate myself silly over the weekend. 😞🤷‍♀️

Saturday William played his first ever game of soccer, they tried but lost 7 to 0. But hey, they are all new to the game, never played before and the team they played played last season. William (#59) started off as goalie and I was so darn proud…he stopped 4 goals, and only let 2 in. Half time he was mid field and did well….but came off with 5 minutes to go feeling sick. It was a warm day and he just couldn’t run anymore.  After the game we took William out for a celebration lunch 🥗 Then it went downhill from there. 

Sunday was the local fair so we took the kids, more food, more yummies….but I woke up this morning all ready for a day on track and as writing this tonight…stayed on track. 

Nope, I ain’t a quitter, one day I will succeed again…..
