Another week down..

 Another week down and an another week closer to our trekking across the Nullarbor. 600g lost this week….and only 2 more weigh ins to go. I’m 400g off my lowest weight which was 5 weeks ago. Soooooo maybe I’ll get lower than that before I go…But I don’t think I’ll reach my 20 kilo off. I may, if I really give it a go..but to be honest I’m not going to push myself to the extreme. 

That’s it for this week….short and sweet. Only for my record anyway.

Another week gone..

 


Thankfully I’ve had a better week this week. Just about 100% on track. 

The scales showed a sts, and considering I never weighed in last week after my horror week I am happy 😊 

My jabberbuddy will be back from holidays tonight so we’ll be back to walking on Wednesday. That will help me as I’ve been very lazy since Deb went away. 

The kids both played soccer on Saturday. Both teams won. Summer is improving weekly, running a lot more now.
William, wow what a game he played. Every now and then he throws in a blinder of a game and Saturday was one of them.
He’s trying out for under 11’s Countryweek team. Going to be a tough decision for the coaches as there 35 boys training and they all as keen as William. He has another few weeks of training yet then it’ll be fingers crossed. William is hoping to be in the squad but says it won’t matter if he’s not because he’s loving the experience of trials to get there. 

Nothing much going on. 
Counting downs the weeks before we hit the road, but before we go Shawn and Skye are having 2 weeks away. As soon as they are back we will hit the road. 

Lunches to pack, till next week.

Weigh in day tomorrow…

 But I’m not weighing in tomorrow. It will be a big fat gain. 

Every time I set myself a goal I fail. I’m not going to set a weight loss goal again. My goal was to get to my 20 kilo loss before we take off trekking. Don’t know why but if I set goals I self sabotage myself. EVERY SINGLE BLOODY TIME!!!

I’ve just gone on an all out binge and literally gorged myself with everything and anything. 

Hasn’t helped that my daughter had to call me and hubby down to hers to get the kids. Her boyfriend over indulged with alcohol and got abusive scaring the kids. She asked him to pack up his shit and leave. He was refusing too until Hubby arrived. 

Anyways that’s not the point…I’d started the binging before all the above went down. Apparently they had a big argument last week and K told him it was his last chance. He didn’t like the fact that she and her best friend of over 25 years were not including him in some plans they were making. He had been drinking heavy. 

I liked him, but I was concerned about his drinking. He came around home one day at lunch time and had a can in his hand. Apparently when he moved in with her how much he drank became obvious as his mood changed.

Anyways he left last night, and his mum bought him back to pick up his gear this morning. As K told him in front of her Dad, her kids come first and no way should they be made to feel scared in their own house.

My girl does not seem to have much luck with men. I hope one day she does find some forever lasting love







Mother’s Day today.

I miss these Mum’s, my mum and my mother in law so much. I think the older I get the more I miss them…more so my mum. 

Love them so. xx

Another week gone.

 Days are passing by quickly. It’s so dark in the mornings now and we’ve had to push our walk in the morning to 7.30am so it’s light enough. And it’s dark earlier too….my chooks are looking to be put to bed earlier too. I can feel winter creeping in, mornings and nights are a lot cooler…won’t be too long and we’ll be lighting our fire 🔥 

Thankfully we’ll be trekking by the middle of next month and we in the northern hemisphere of Australia so will miss the cold and miserable weather we get here in the south in winter. 

No change on my scales this week. A stay the same. I’ll have to try harder this week. My tracking was a bit of a hit and miss last week so I’m not surprised by the sts. WW is so easy to do, and I love that nothing is off limits. BUT you do have to be accountable, that’s why I use the app on WW and track honestly. If I indulge at one meal I can always have a lower “point” meal next time so I stay within my point range. If you cheat on your points you’re only cheating yourself and WW won’t work. I exercise most days, always at least 5 times a week and always in the morning. I find it sets me up for a good day. 

My weekend was busy. Both little grandies had soccer Saturday, Summers team lost, and Williams won.

On Sunday we went to Perth to the Fire Fighters Memorial Grove to a memorial service to honour fallen firefighters. A dearly loved cousin of mine tragically died early last year whilst fire fighting and I was honoured to see his name being placed on honour roll to commemorate his bravery. 


I’ll leave you with my cat enjoying the sunshine. Dare say it won’t be long and she’ll be curled up on the mat by our fire inside.
