Merry Christmas 2023

 What a lovely day today was. 

All 3 kids here today….Kylee with her 2 little ones. Shawn with his 2nd daughter (Skye his eldest was in Busselton with her boyfriend family arrived late afternoon) and Simon and his partner Tammy. Simon and Tammy left at lunchtime to go to Tammy’s daughter’s place for lunch. 

Nothing heard from Paul’s partner. I’ve left messaging them till now in the hope……but nahhh. Wonder if message is acknowledged. 

Such a chilled out day with lots of yummy food.

p.s. weighed in this morning, a 1.2 gain. Knew it was coming, I’ve over indulged all week. Will get back into it tomorrow. 

Hope you’ve had a wonderful day. 

I’ve done it

I’ve finally reached 15 kilos off.

It’s taken 13 months, lots of up and downs but I am so happy that I’ve stuck to ww and persevered. 

Wasn’t easy, what with 2 close family deaths, a few trips away and a few health issues. 

 

Santa pics yesterday. This was just taken using my phone camera. William is 10 just 2 days after Christmas and I think this will be the last Christmas he “believes” in Santa. A few things he is questioning now so next year I think the pretending to believe will begin so Summer can still believe in the magic.

Right I’m out of here. A Christmas get together today with one of my friends so best get moving. 

Another week done….

 …..And I’m very happy to report another loss.

I’m getting very close to the grand total of 15kg gone. I’m not going to jinx myself by saying I’ll get there next weigh in because we all know anything can happen EVEN when you have the best of weeks.

I’m back walking with Deb and still doing the water aerobic classes when we can.  It’s nearly the end of school term and Christmas holidays. There’s no vacation care till January so I’m looking after the kids whilst Mum works. 

I’m also having kids for first 2 weeks of January as I’ve enrolled them in swimming lessons. Kylee planning on getting out fishing and camping a lot next year and with William getting a kayak for Christmas we want the kids water savvy.  As yet the kids father hasn’t decided when he can have the kids…really!! 

Cant believe the year is nearly over and that I have completed a full year plus on WW and lost nearly 15 kilos. It’s hard enough to lose weight at any time but when you have a thyroid that’s under active it’s very hard. Medication and regular blood tests has been me for over half my life. 

My highlight of this week was William being given the Academic Award for year 4. He has shone this year and achieved some fantastic results academically and also in his sports. He loves to learn….and loves his Soccer. 

Time to get myself organised. Water aerobics in the morning so better find my bathers. 

Till next week. 

I’m back…

 Last weigh in I’d had a goddamn awful week. I either ate everything in sight or just couldn’t be bothered eating properly then would eat crap which is just part of living with hypothyroidism. 

A big gain was shown on the demon scales. I was disgusted and very disappointed in myself. 

A lot was going on. My best friend Dad had a bad fall then past away. I had babysitting as William graduated from stage 1 of Children’s University. Skye got a 2nd job with more hours. Son found himself a girlfriend. Hubby got shingles. Drs appointments. And the list goes on…

Fast forward to today, weigh in again…a 2.1 loss. Now that was after a lot of hard work. I’ve kept busy, exercised and taking my medication (thyroid tabs)

Will leave with a collage of Williams Children’s University graduation. I babysat Summer while Kylee drove his teacher and William up. The headmistress was also representing the school. William was the ONLY graduate in the whole of the South West of WA. To say we were proud would be an understatement.
