A Down Day
Its been one of those days today. It started okay…up and off to work early, cleaning before 6am this morning. Bad weather was predicted, and that came rolling in by 9am keeping me busy keeping floors clean and dry.
Home at 12 lunchtime…a coffee and a chat with hubby. Had some lunch….and then it started. I just couldn't stop eating….cravings big time. I have eaten everything and everything, just couldn't seem to satisfy my hunger.
So today has been wiped…going to pull myself together, and have a good nights sleep and remember tomorrow is another day.
There will be no way in on Tuesday…going to have a no weigh.

Growing…..
Look who is growing like a weed…
William has just turned 8 months and already he is climbing up on everything and standing up and pushing everything and anything around the house…
Thankfully Kylee sends pics/video's of every little achievement so I don't miss out on anything. Can't wait to see them all again. Hopefully at the end of this month, they are heading down and spending a few days with the twins before flying to the Gold Coast for a weeks holiday. If we don't see them then, will see them on their return.
Then it will be Christmas before we see them..and Christmas means William turns 1 year old. Unfortunately not knowing what we were doing for Christmas this year, I didn't ask for any time off. Few other people have so I now can't get time off other than the days I don't work. And it may mean I will have to do a few extra shifts. Luckily Kylee thinks she and Garry will be able to come down here…..fingers crossed they can.
Been having some beautiful weather here, some gorgeous spring days. All the wildflowers are coming out on our block

Another stay the same….
I upped the exercise, I counted pro points honestly…was totally on track for 6 of 7 days and hopped on the scales at my meeting this morning….and darn it saw another stay the same.
I know I shouldn't be disappointed BUT I am!! Was ready to go buy a block of chocolate, or a big serve of fish and chips but what is that going to achieve but more disappointment next week. And I am not a quitter…I have to keep going. I didn't put this weight on overnight..so I guess I not going to lose it overnight either. Just feeling mighty frustrated that its its not coming off just a little quicker than what it is.
Patience Jen….just have to remember last weeks post and all those little bits add up to a lot.
So….onwards to next week.
This little man always brings a smile to my face.
So happy Kylee keeps these pics coming, it feels as though we not missing out. He is 8 months old now…geeeee where has time gone. Little imp is pulling himself up on everything and standing on his feet….won't be long and he'll be up and running.

Little by little
![]() |
Ashlee, Caitlin, Matthew with William. |
The other day they stopped off for a few hours and spent time with Kylee and their little nephew/cousin.
Yesterday was weigh in day….and another loss for me. Only 200grams off but I'll take it. Was of course hoping for more, but all those little bits add up to a lot.
I think its just over 25 weeks before we head off on our cruise and if I lose 200g every week till then I will be very close to where I want to be.
Onwards onto another week….

This week...
I am going to put 100% effort into having a healthier week. Even though I lost 100g this week I ate too much again, going over my allotted pro points every day…and my exercise was just what I did at work. I can and will do better. My excuse was all the extra hours I have been doing, yes it has made me tired, yes it has made my feet sore…but this week my hours are less and I have time to plan my menu a little more and add some extra exercise…a walk down to the estuary maybe, or even a walking dvd :-)
Its 6 months to our cruise and I so want to be at goal….won't get there if I keep on playing at losing weight. I know I have to live and enjoy a few "added extra's" occasionally but not every day. So its onwards to the next weigh in…and hopefully another loss. Nearly 7 kilo's down now…

Had the best weekend…..
I had the best weekend. Had my niece drop around her little boy, then Garry's ex dropped around his twins so Garry and Kylee got to spend more time with them and have some one on one time with their baby brother.
The kids all had a ball together and of course I got lots of time with William.
All I can say is roll on September when Kylee, Garry and William travel down again.
Weigh in, 200 grams gone this week…and I must admit I am happy with that as it was a very hit and miss week as far as food and exercise went.

Counting down to the weekend…...
All the days are running into one another, its been shift after shift and I am tired. Tomorrow is a day off but I have housework to do, a specialist (gynaecologist) to go see, bills to pay for the mother in law…and fit in a visit to see her in hospital. She has been put in again for the ulcer on her leg. Its not healing, actually it has spread and mum is in so much pain and she in to see if we can get that sorted. Its been test after test for her and we are getting nowhere with the system as it is. Mum is 89, lives on her own, but this ulcer has stopped her mobility so looking after herself has become hard. Unfortunately none of us daughters in laws can look after her full-time…so we are going to have organise full-time home care or respite when she gets the pain control sorted out for her.
I have a ton of housework to catch up on as well, poor house has been very neglected. My bathroom is a disgrace, dusting needs doing….and the list goes on. Hubby has been great, he keeps the kitchen clean, does the vacuuming and even some of the washing when needed. I have visitors coming this weekend. I am babysitting my niece's little boy and girl on Saturday night, and that night I also have Kylee, Garry and William due down for a few nights as Garry as a visit to a specialist too. Garry has Guillain-Barre Syndrome and needs for treatment.
So looking forward to cuddling my wee little man, and spending time with my girl. A whole weekend home sounds wonderful.
Weigh in day today….very happy to report at long last a loss…700grams gone. My leader has asked me to change my goal weight. Goal weight is 68 which I got to last time I got to goal 10 years ago, but she feels at my age I don't need to that thin, after chatting we have decided on a goal of 75. As she said I can always go down more from there and see where I am happy at. Even when I got to goal last time I sat around the 71 to 74k mark so I am happy with that. So I also have to see my GP next week to get a letter from him if my gyneo won't do it. Though thats not the reason I am seeing him for…a ongoing bladder problem needs to be sorted.
These drinks have been my saviour, I have cut back on quick fix snacks, including chocolate…and these drinks for 1pp have helped. Made with water they are still very creamy and chocolately. Anyways roll on next week…and hopefully another loss.

Girls sleepover
![]() |
ohhh really Jenna, that is sooooo not funny!!
Just reflecting….watching their images in the water….and hoping a lot that they see a dolphin, unfortunately there were none.
I had these two on Friday and Saturday night, the Miss Skye and Miss Jaydene . I had been promising them a sleepover for ages and I finally had two nights in a row free to have them. They had the best time, as did I with them. These pics were taken on walk along the old pipe jetty from a factory over the road….they love this walk as do I. |

And to finish off, here is Master William, rusk, dribbles and all. ooops before I go…a stay the same on those demon scales. |

Back again...
Beautiful beach that I did most of my walking on….beautiful clear blue skies…but the water was cold. |
A creek that we visited, wish I had packed my fishing rod….would have loved to throw in a line, and a crab pot. |

Counting down….
Kylee has the twins up staying for the first week of the school holidays. She sent these pic to me last night…I just love the way all 3 of them are responding to each other…its just so cute.
Just happy they all get on so well and Garry and his ex share the twins so William can grow up knowing his brother and sister.
Work is going to become very busy for me at the end of July, so next week hubby and I are heading up to see Kylee, Garry and William for a few days. I am counting down the days I can tell you.
Hope by then I have shaken of the last of this chest infection I picked up last weekend. Am alright through the day, but as soon as the night chill sets in I start coughing. I am keeping the house warm 24/7 and dosing myself up hoping I can rid myself of it.
Weigh in last week I said goodbye to 1.4. Don't know if it was because I was good, or because I spent all last weekend in bed and hardly ate or if it was the changeover from night to day weighs….either way I'll take it. Working hard to this week to have another loss as being on the road and visiting Kylee the following week is going to make "dieting" that bit harder. With the nicer weather I hoping to get William out in the pram and do lots of walking.

Trying to focus
We went into town and paid off the cruise yesterday, and were told we had 256 days till we sail. Woweeeee…..is that all?
We only have our excursions to organise on the cruise and our flights to Sydney. We are going to go to Sydney 4 days before we set sail as we have never spent time in Sydney and there are a few things we would like to see and do as heck knows if we'll get there again.
So this week I have been trying to focus just that bit more, as I want to drop at least another 10 kilo's (or more if I can) before we go. Two weeks of staying the same is ok, but its not good, it could have been better if I planned just that bit more. Anyways, this week, so far I have been a bit better than last week, but once again I have been slack in the exercise department. Luckily my work as a cleaner makes for a lot of steps as really other than 2 jabber walks with my buddy thats all I have done.
My pedometer died the other day so I went in to buy another…and on special was a fitbit zip, so I thought what the heck, everyone has been raving about these fit bits so I'll give this little itty bit thing a go. I might have made the wrong choice but its all I could afford, and its worn like a pedometer which I liked.
The week after next I am hoping to head up to Kylee's for a few days, can only get away for 5 days…2 of them will be in driving but any time with her, Garry and our lil William will be awesome. I miss them so much.
Onwards now, its work tomorrow morning, and come rain, hail or shine I will fit in a big long walk, and that will be repeated on Sunday and Monday.

Gotta stop...
this damn yoyo'ing…one week good the next week bad…and thats my fault. I have a great week, daily exercise, precise tracking, then the following week I relax bring in a few treats coz I have been good and "deserve" them, cut back the exercise and wham bam the scales tell me how damn silly I have been. Lucky this week the ww scales told me a stay the same (my scales say 300g gain) but either one tells me I haven't learnt my lesson.
I know its not all about the numbers I see between my feet…but I also know this darn yoyo'ing I have been doing is not good at all!! Been doing it for too long now and thats another reason to stop it….its a habit I don't want to keep.
Right whine over…just get on and break that darn habit.
Been hoping to get up and see this little man, who is growing up way to quickly. He is nearly 6 months old now and I haven't seen him in what seems ages. The local aviation company had some cheap flights out last week but as fast as they came available they went…and I missed out. Now trying to talk hubby into taking me up there for a long weekend…its a 12 hour drive.Or if he can't I am seriously thinking of driving up there myself. I miss Kylee and the wee man.
I talk to Kylee most days and she tells me what the little man is doing..he has mastered the walker very quickly and he follows her everywhere. Teeth are coming, red cheeks and dribble & drool most days. He loves his food and is trying to sit up on his own.
Now I am teary…distance is a pain….but know they need to be where they are for their own happiness.

What a week...
phewwww…..where to start.
Hubby's mother, who is 89 this August, had a fall a few months ago….and that resulted in a few cuts and grazes. Silver chain had been going around there most days dressing them but despite all the care one of the cuts developed an infection and turned into a ulcer. Doctor visits and antibiotics didn't help and Mum ended up in hospital and put on intravenous antibiotics for 5 days.
It seemed to help but mum was in a lot of pain, and stronger pain killers were given and she was sent home. She had only been home for 2 days and she was in a pain still so off to the Drs we sent her. Dr wasn't happy and sent her off to a surgeon and he put her straight in hospital as the surgeon decided to operate on the leg and cut out the infection that seemed to be growing in the ulcer.
On the day of the operation I worked and a elderly lady collapsed in the shopping centre right where I was cleaning. I and one other lady were the only 2 who were first aid trained and knew how to do CPR…so we started. Security rang for an ambulance while the phone operator stayed on the phone to the security guard who put the phone on speaker while I and the other lady worked on the elderly lady till the ambulance and attendants arrived. I can tell you it left me very shaken….and more so when I heard she didn't survive.
Luckily my mother in law came through the op real well. We visited her the next day…and walked into her room to her having had an emergency bleed on the leg. Mums BP plummeted to a real low while a surgeon had to stem the bleeding vein with a few stitches. Thankfully mum once again came through that real well. She is still in hospital and staff say the leg is healing slowly.
A friend of mine who I met on the weight watchers online community threads many years ago (and met personally a few times) was in Bunbury on the weekend…so we managed a couple of hours together over breakfast and coffee. Was a great end to a tough week or so.
Through all this I managed to control my emotional eating more this week and at weigh in last night I managed to lose 1.7…so that got rid of the 1.2 I put on last week. I don't think I will go to a morning weigh in again while I am weighing in in the evening…it mucked my weight on the scales right up.
I will leave you with a pic of me and Erica…while I go ring mum. The weather her today is damn cold, wet and windy so think we'll leave a visit to her till tomorrow. She knew I was working today so won't be expecting us.

A month of weight watchers...
….. and I am thrilled to bits with a 2.9 loss for the month, 8cm gone…and I have achieved my 1st goal and lost 5% of what I need to lose.
Its not been easy, but I am a lot more determined. Meeting last night was about commitment…and I committed myself to going to every meeting and staying for the talk. Of course, there will a time when I can't but its going to have to be a good reason as to why I can't.
On that note, its nearly dinner time…so I am going to leave you with a pic of our little man who is 5 months old today.

This week...
![]() |
Kylee took these pics today, isn't he just the happiest little chappy out…just love that grin of his. |
And this one was a full on laugh…not very often that he isn't smiling, his mum was much the same.
Been a full on day here today, woke up to rain this morning, it was pelting down when Deb came for our "jabber walk" so that didn't happen. We will walk if its just a drizzle, but it was just too heavy this morning. But i think I got my steps in at work, as it pelted down on and off for most of the day…so trying to keep the floors dry kept me moving. Got home tonight and I fell in a heap in my chair.
Well I had weigh in last night, a 100g gain showed. I wasn't expecting it, but on checking my tracking I realised it was my fault. Not only did I eat TOO much cheese, my exercise was down to what it should have been. So this week, I am going from healthy and filling and go back to counting points. I don't want to stay counting as I enjoy the relaxed program of healthy and filling so will only do this till I sort out this small gain.
Not much else is happening in the world of Jen, so I'll say goodnight till next time.

Another week down...
Hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day.
I did nothing special. I saw my mum last weekend so didn't travel down to see her this weekend, but I did ring her and have a good natter with her.
I didn't see any of my kids, but I did here from all 4 of them so that made me happy.
In the afternoon we went up and saw Ted's mum….she was in 7th heaven as all her "boys" visited her…whilst we were there Ted's youngest brother called in too….and Ben had already visited.
Anyways, nothing much happening. I have work for the next 3 days, then on Friday I am heading up to Rockingham to catch up with my 2 best girlfriends. I will pick up Robyn in Mandurah and we'll be able to natter together before we meet up with Carol who is driving down from Perth. My shopping list has only one item on it…a mini i-pad…
Right, weigh in tonight, 400 grams gone. I have worked hard for that this week, let myself down with exercise…but will do better this week.
Stayed for the meeting, finding it is keeping me motivated, then came home and ate my pre-cooked dinner while watching my tv show.
Now..its goodnight from me.

A to Z of me….
A is all about acceptance. I must learn to take and receive advise offered to me. I am a good one for giving it to others but not understanding and accepting it from others.
B is all about books. Ahh I love books and reading, nothing better than curling up on the lounge in front of the fire…or in bed with a good book.
C is for our cruise….roll on March next year.
D is for diet….say no more!
E is for feeling like an ELEPHANT!!
F is for family. Love all mine, though boy sometimes they do frustrate me too!!
G is for grandchildren…whats that saying..If I knew grandkids were going to be this much fun I would have had them first.!! My eldest is now 18, then I have 3 pre-teens, a 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 2 x 6, a 5 year old, then adopted 4 year olds…and our little William. oh boy where have all the years gone. Now they are older I don't get to see them often as I would like.
H is for husband. Nearly 33 years together and still going strong, though in saying that it hasn't always been easy.
I is for me..it is all about me. This is my time, to learn to love me again.
J is for jumpers….had to drag mine out these past few days, its getting cold. Fire has been lit these past few nights.
K is for kids, whether they be mine or my grandkids….love having little ones in my life.
L is for love…it sure does make the world a happier place.
M is for mums. My mum is 85 soon. I saw her on Sunday, and she is looking so frail. Happy to see she has put on a few kilo's…she was down to 48 kilo's a few months back. And there is Ted's mum, she is 89 in August and now can't walk without a walker. She has had a few falls of late and now as a result of the last one an ulcer has formed on her leg from a graze that didn't heal. A real worry both of them.
N is for nip..nor the weather has cooled down I have been enjoying a "wee nip" of port of an evening. It helps me relax after a days work, and it helps me sleep too.
O is for overseas. Hope to do a few trips after the cruise. One on the cards is another trip to New Zealand as we only stop at a few places on the cruise. Would love to go to Canada, don't think we can afford that…not unless we win lotto.
P is for people. In my job I come across some very rude ones that think cleaners are the lowest of the low. I don't care…I work hard in my job and take pride in what I do.
Q is for quote…and my quote at the moment is I can do, and I will do...
R is for relief. Relieved that I saw the deal on ww and I jumped at it by raiding my savings. Relieved coz I won't like wasting my money…as so far week two I am already keeping myself in the zone...
S is for star sign. I am a Pisces..It's a pair of Fish that represents Pisces, a symbol that prompts others to suggest that these people 'go with the flow' and 'don't make waves.' Both of these labels are true, since Pisces are fluid and easy-going. The fact that two fish (as opposed to one) represent the members of this sign also speaks to the duality of Pisces, their yin and yang sensibility. Pisces alternate between reality and non-reality in keeping with their introspective natures. Pisces can be hard to pin down, prompting some to call them the chameleons of the zodiac. Pisces are compassionate, charitable and will quickly put the needs of others ahead of their own. It's this kind of self-sacrifice that keeps these folks going. The flip side to their giving natures is that the oft-timid Fish are likely to be taken advantage of by less well-meaning souls. This is so me…I am told I am a real pisces.
T is for travel. Trip this year will be just up to Carnarvon to see daughter and William. Next year we have the cruise and trip to Queensland planned.
U is for understanding…something fortunately that my husband is.
V is for victory…I will win this weight battle…again.
W is for William, love that I saw him briefly this weekend.
X is for X-ray…got to go in for one soon.
Y is for you…yes you reading this…without you and your support I am on my own…thank you for being there.
Z is for Zumba…must get out my DVD and do it now that the weather is becoming crappy and cold.
B is all about books. Ahh I love books and reading, nothing better than curling up on the lounge in front of the fire…or in bed with a good book.
C is for our cruise….roll on March next year.
D is for diet….say no more!
E is for feeling like an ELEPHANT!!
F is for family. Love all mine, though boy sometimes they do frustrate me too!!
G is for grandchildren…whats that saying..If I knew grandkids were going to be this much fun I would have had them first.!! My eldest is now 18, then I have 3 pre-teens, a 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 2 x 6, a 5 year old, then adopted 4 year olds…and our little William. oh boy where have all the years gone. Now they are older I don't get to see them often as I would like.
H is for husband. Nearly 33 years together and still going strong, though in saying that it hasn't always been easy.
I is for me..it is all about me. This is my time, to learn to love me again.
J is for jumpers….had to drag mine out these past few days, its getting cold. Fire has been lit these past few nights.
K is for kids, whether they be mine or my grandkids….love having little ones in my life.
L is for love…it sure does make the world a happier place.
M is for mums. My mum is 85 soon. I saw her on Sunday, and she is looking so frail. Happy to see she has put on a few kilo's…she was down to 48 kilo's a few months back. And there is Ted's mum, she is 89 in August and now can't walk without a walker. She has had a few falls of late and now as a result of the last one an ulcer has formed on her leg from a graze that didn't heal. A real worry both of them.
N is for nip..nor the weather has cooled down I have been enjoying a "wee nip" of port of an evening. It helps me relax after a days work, and it helps me sleep too.
O is for overseas. Hope to do a few trips after the cruise. One on the cards is another trip to New Zealand as we only stop at a few places on the cruise. Would love to go to Canada, don't think we can afford that…not unless we win lotto.
P is for people. In my job I come across some very rude ones that think cleaners are the lowest of the low. I don't care…I work hard in my job and take pride in what I do.
Q is for quote…and my quote at the moment is I can do, and I will do...
R is for relief. Relieved that I saw the deal on ww and I jumped at it by raiding my savings. Relieved coz I won't like wasting my money…as so far week two I am already keeping myself in the zone...
S is for star sign. I am a Pisces..It's a pair of Fish that represents Pisces, a symbol that prompts others to suggest that these people 'go with the flow' and 'don't make waves.' Both of these labels are true, since Pisces are fluid and easy-going. The fact that two fish (as opposed to one) represent the members of this sign also speaks to the duality of Pisces, their yin and yang sensibility. Pisces alternate between reality and non-reality in keeping with their introspective natures. Pisces can be hard to pin down, prompting some to call them the chameleons of the zodiac. Pisces are compassionate, charitable and will quickly put the needs of others ahead of their own. It's this kind of self-sacrifice that keeps these folks going. The flip side to their giving natures is that the oft-timid Fish are likely to be taken advantage of by less well-meaning souls. This is so me…I am told I am a real pisces.
T is for travel. Trip this year will be just up to Carnarvon to see daughter and William. Next year we have the cruise and trip to Queensland planned.
U is for understanding…something fortunately that my husband is.
V is for victory…I will win this weight battle…again.
W is for William, love that I saw him briefly this weekend.
X is for X-ray…got to go in for one soon.
Y is for you…yes you reading this…without you and your support I am on my own…thank you for being there.
Z is for Zumba…must get out my DVD and do it now that the weather is becoming crappy and cold.
Kylee traveled down from Carnarvon on the weekend, arriving Friday night towing a big trailer to pick up all her household stuff she had stored here. She and Garry needed it all now that they have their own place. I had the pleasure of looking after this lil one while Kylee sorted out all her gear and loaded it all in the trailer. We had a few family members come around Friday night for dinner to see them so the lil man had smiles for everyone…and it was great for them to see Kylee as heck knows when they will make it down this way…they are stony broke now. Anyways Saturday lunchtime Kylee was gone again….and made it back to Carnarvon safe and sound.
Right…to end this tonight…it was weigh in night, 1.1 gone. Roll on next week, menu's to plan now, so goodnight till next time.
