Back again..

Yesterday was weigh in day. It was very frustrating to see “just” a 200g loss. I’ve been so good tracking and eating good healthy food. I know it’s a loss, but geeeee to not see a decent loss on the scales when I’ve been so committed is really really frustrating!! Unfortunately I let my frustrations out by eating crap all day. Today I am back on track….so let’s see what this week brings.  I have to remember I have lost over 12.5 kilo’s and I do, and so does my knee, feel a lot better for it. Right, it’s taken 9 months and I have had few detours along the way BUT I have done it!!

Another Monday….

 And that means it’s another weigh in day….

Pfffft it’s slow going this weight loss….a 100g loss. Feel like chucking my hands in the air and throwing a hissy fit…..BUT……I won’t. ALTHOUGH I have indulged in a few little treats. 

Floated around in my gallery and found these….

The first one was taken at the end of January and I’d only lost a few kilos. The other one taken last week 12.4 kilos down. I can see a difference and I just don’t want to go back to that first pic. So definitely no hissy fit.

The week hasn’t been a busy one. Worked a few hour’s Saturday morning, and Saturday arvo went and watched William play soccer. His game was a bit off, he’d had a few upsets during the week at school and his anxiety levels were over the top. His Dad came down and watched him then took him and Summer backed to Perth with him. 

Sunday a few hours at work again, and then in the arvo Kylee and I went to Mandurah to pick up the kids.  It’s bookweek at the school this week and William is going as Harry Potter again and we needed to get him a new costume, he has outgrown the one he had. Kids were excited after spending time with Dad and travelling home down on the train. They love the train trip. 

Not much else happening. 

Just going to message my girlfriend. I think it may be time to up the exercise, see if she interested in a few walks during the week. 

Catch you next week. 😘

Would have

 Would have posted before today but silly blogger would not allow me too. I gave up trying after it sent me around in circles yesterday and then again this morning. 

Anyways it’s been a quiet week, nothing exciting happening. Been as cold as ever at night but some lovely fine days during the week. Worked this morning and of course it was raining as I left. Rained till I left but now it’s turned into a lovely day. Apparently more rain coming this afternoon. 

Soccer as per usual on the weekend. For the first time this season the kids Dad was down to watch them. 

Summers little team had no coach as he was on holiday and boy did they miss him, they were lost without him. 

Williams team played a great game again…with William even kicking their first goal. 

His Dad had his eyes opened as to how well he plays now, it’s been a year since he saw them play !!! 


Weigh in, lost 200 grams. 12.3 down now….averaging a 300g loss per week.

Nearly forgot again…

 Have had a couple of busy days and totally forgot to post yesterday. A lot of errands and chores on Monday, then last night the Matilda’s (FIFA Australian Soccer Aries team)played and I got caught up with the game.  This morning was work. 

Was absolutely pelting down with rain most of the morning so that kept me busy. I had to empty all the outside bins in between showers and inside keep the floor dry as rain was so heavy it kept on dripping through the air conditioner vents. 

Weekend was soccer again on Saturday. Summers team won, Williams lost. William played another great game. Was goal keeper and they were a very quick attacking side. He stopped 5 attempts and missed 2 so pretty darn good effort I thought. 

Sunday not much at all other than the usual chores.  I’ve made a list of chores that really need doing so this week I’m going to try and get motivated and get them done….I’ve put them off long enough already. 

Nothing much else, so I’ll leave this and go do prep for dinner. 

Ohhh yeah, weigh in was a 600g loss.

Ooops forgot

 Ooops forgot to post on Monday after weigh in….totally forgot. Sometimes I think I’m the one with early onset dementia, not my brother. Talking about him, I don’t know how he is getting on, very hard man to keep track of, he always has been. I’ve rang, messaged and emailed but still waiting for a reply. So annoyed with my sister in law I thought she might have at least let either me or my sister know a bit more about his diagnosis, but nothing. 

Not much been happening here. 

Saturday was the kids soccer day. Was cold and windy and I was well rugged up but both kids games the rain held off. Summer was so unfocused for her game but William’s team played one of the best games I’ve seen from them. William played his usual defence position and what a great game he played. After the game Kylee drove them up to Mandurah and they overnighted with their Dad. She used to stay and spend the overnight with Micheal but now she has to turn around and drove home….and then return Sunday afternoon to pick the kids up. We told William on the way home Sunday that Micheal and Mummy were no longer a couple. 



It’s been a mixed bag of weather this week, yesterday it felt like Spring, it was a beautiful sunny day. Today, it’s rained non stop, and quite heavily too at times, all day. 

I’ve been doing a bit of scrapbooking. Going through some of mum’s photos. We haven’t many at all and I get quite envious of people that have precious photo memories.



These are a couple of me. First one taken in 1982 pregnant with my second son.

The other taken in 1975 with my first born ….I was 18.

Anyhow, time to start thinking about dinner. 

Ohhh weigh in….lost the 100g I gained last week…
