Yayyyyy

Went to weigh in tonight....lost 1.5

I feel good ....

A good weekend...

Its been a great weekend, lots of lovely sunshine and most of the grandies around to play with and cuddle....so love those little ones. Even went to the local show...and didn't indulge in all the yummies that were available, but did treat myself to a single cone choc mint ice cream.....yummmmmmmm.

As far as the medication go's, I feel great....don't feel blahhhhhh, haven't been getting the hungry's, been eating within my points most days, have been out walking and feel as though I might have even lost some of that 2.6 kilo's I put on. Tomorrow night is weigh in...so I'll let you all know.

As I expected....

I GAINED big time.......2.6 kilo's !!!

ahhhh well, it was expected, so now it's gotta go....

Struggling....

I went to the Dr's on Thursday evening after work and got results from my bloodtests. The results show my thyroid medication needs to be lowered again, I am taking too much oroxine and taking too much of course doesn't help with weight loss just as taking not enough!! Dr said we'll get it right soon, it is a matter of trial and error .... and then I'll be be able to carry on losing weight. At the moment I am battling,,,,I feel as though I have gained at least a couple of kilo's,,,,I can feel it in my clothes. Dr said I will struggle with the 'hungry's" and feeling blahhh until the oroxine levels out.....and of course menopause doesn't help either. Nor does the stress of having my son and little family live with us. Son is still ok at moment but it's like walking on "eggshells" around him at times. He is using still and at times moody and unpredictable. It just breaks my heart to see him go this way again after all the effort he went through at detox and rehab. The last 18 months I truly did have my son back,,,,now I am losing him again. Anyways am really trying to keep it together, some days are better than others. Monday evening I will weigh in.....if you hear a SCREEEEEEEECHHHH off in the distance, don't worry it will only be me!! Till then I will keep on walking everyday, trampoling when I can and try to make wise choices.....but mostly try not too stress.

No weigh in.....

No weigh in tonight as I had a meeting after work and couldn't make it in time.....
Was going to use my own scales and see what they said, but because I have had them hidden I don't know how they compare to ww's ones. So with the "bad" week I have had this week decided not to. And believe me it has been a "bad" week....I have had the hungries something terrible and feeling really down, ....and just couldn't summon up the energy to fight it. I had a blood test on Saturday morning and have a Dr appointment on Thursday evening so maybe they can find a reason as I just don't feel right. Maybe it's the change of medication I had a few weeks ago, maybe it's stress over my son, I don't know but I want it gone....I so over it, I hate feeling like this.....

Weighed in ...

Weighed in this evening....and after a brilliant week starting at the beginning again on Week 1 .... I GAINED 100 grams !! Was really peeved off when the scales told me a gain...but I should be used to it now....coz how much hope have I got when I have those damn dwarfs giving me a helping hand !!!
Anyways another week starts tomorrow so I'll be at it again, excersise, water and more water, tracker and food scales...and trusty week 1 book again....
Bugger it....I WILL do it eventually...won't I? Of course I will !!

All's calm on the home front at moment, son and family move in tomorrow so we'll see how all goes. Have had a few grey hairs added this last week with the stress of it all, but I HAVEN'T not once gone for food for comfort.....
Thank you to everyone for your support and friendship during this difficult time with my son...much appreciated espesially you Carol and Berrie...

Someone give me strength....

Forgive me if I ramble on a moment....but have to write it down before I go bonkers....as the cat in the pic is how I feel at present, gritted teeth and ready to pull hair out, it's going grey anyways!! AND SCREAM !!!!! My youngest son, my problem child, has become a big problem again....and it's really got to me badly today. Won't go into too many details coz if I start I won't stop...but 18 months ago he went into rehab for a cannabis problem which with his ADHD was very addictive. He came out clean but this week he had a big conflict at his work and got the sack/ walked out and now he has started using again. I don't know if I have the strength to cope again, without me going off the rails. He was here a little while ago, and was stressed out to the max, and had been using, but he did eventually calm down again and we were able to talk to him. Don't know how much he took in but I am hoping something sunk in....I really don't know if I will cope if he heads down that road again. Hubby won't have him here if he uses and has told son that as he won't put me throu all what we went throu again. Son has a partner 7 months pregnant and a 3 year old girl who he loves so I am hoping and praying he can see the damage before he go's that road again. Pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzze let him be okay again, find another job and house and move on with a stable life.

Nephews 21st

After the big game yesterday we drove down to Manjimup to my sister's for her eldest son Rikki's 21st. It was a great night where I caught up with most of my family and my best friend from my high school days.

EAGLES ARE WINNERS

What a game....phewwwwwwwww, talk about nerve wracking but we WON!!!! 1 point win.....but ohhhhhhhhhh they did so deserve it.

WE ARE THE EAGLES
THE WEST COAST EAGLES
WE ARE HERE TO SHOW YOU WHY
WE'RE THE BIG BIRDS
KINGS OF THE BIG GAME
WE'RE THE EAGLES
WE'RE FLYING HIGH

Feeling....

This is how I feel at the moment .....so "WHATEVER" !! I am not sleeping properly, work is sooooooo busy, and I am tired, moody and downright bitchy!! And so hungry...I am eating too much these last few days, I don't think I have gone to much overboard...I hope!! I am drinking gallons of water daily, and excercising everyday. Emailing Berrie tonight and other than menopause and hormone troubles we think it could be lack of protein thats causing the hungery's. So think it's back to basics for me...weighing food, checking portion sizes etc and stop being so casual about all this and start getting serious again. RIGHT !!! I can do it!!!
Am hoping this new medication for hormones/menopause and thyroid I am on will start kicking in soon and I can get serious about losing this last little bit of weight....I do feel better than what I did other than the very restless/sleepless nights. Can't really tell as work is so full on and tiring anyways. Got 3 days off being a long weekend so hopefully I can have a bit of r&r. Some fishing hopefully if the weather stays fine...ohhhhhh and my nephews 21st Saturday night in Manjimup, and catching up with my dear mum, brother and sister and friends who will all be there.
But I am not going to put a time frame on it.....I will just keep at it and one day soon I will get there....I know I will.
No weigh in this Monday evening, so have time to get myself into gear and do something to get this body of mine back to norm and me feeling real good again!!

All good

Just a post to wish me HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!!!
Yeaaaa this week I celebrated my 1st year with weight watchers and after my 100g loss last night I have lost a total of 24.9 kilo's!! Did my measurements again this morning even thou they aren't due to next week and in the year I have lost 126cm....wowwwww!!!

We WON AGAIN .....

WOOOOHOOOOOOO

What a game.....

WE WON!! WEST COAST EAGLES beat Adelaide...yeaaaaaaa

I am so excited still.....I could hardly watch the game, my tummy had a herd of elephants in it instead of butterfly's, but I earned heaps of bonus points bouncing around in the last quarter willing the Eagles on to a win!! Gee, wish I could go see the EAGLES kick Sydneys butt at the Grand Final!! Ohhh I hope so anyways, its gotta be our turn this year!!!

Had a loss

After a topsy turvy week, I weighed in on Monday evening and lost 600g.......

Having another "topsy turvy" week this week...menopause and thyroid meds have been changed....and having some sleepless/restless nights and having cravings but I will be doing the best I can....

WE WON!!

WE ARE THE EAGLES

THE WEST COAST EAGLES

WE ARE FLYING HIGH






My footy team played tonight, phewwwwwwwww we won!! I wonder how many bonus points I earned myself jumping up and down barracking!!?? Being the semi finals, and having lost to Sydney last week, it was nerve racking to watch.

It's been a tough week for me this week...I had a phone call from my daughter who lives in Victoria, she needed me as she had few problems and was suffering from a huge bout of homesickness!! I felt hopeless and feeling completely drained and tired and missing my girl heaps I headed for the "sugar" and began emotional eating!! Work has been so "full on " and physically hard so all the tiredness I had been feeling I put down to that. It could have been worse, I think I would have gone on a real binge but my dear friend Berrie realised how bad I was feeling and picked me up and helped me try sort out my feelings and moods and tell me all I was feeling was normal... THANKS darl. And Carol too, your advice has been taken on board too, and I agree with you ....MENOPAUSE SUX!!!!
Anyways went to my Dr this morning and my hormone levels are nearly rock bottom, I am allergic to some ingredient in my hrt patches, and my thyroid levels are too high .... so hopefully a change in my meds will get me up and back to feeling alive again.


ANYWAYS ADELAIDE >>>LOOK OUT >>>HERE COME THE EAGLES

Hanging in there!!!

It's been one of those weeks....!!

Had a great week, did everything right, or so I thought, go to weigh in Monday evening.....AND GAIN 200 grams...!!!

What can I say...but I am hanging in there, and I WILL get there eventually...I am too stubborn to give in, I want to get to goal.

Saturday walk

This morning was lovely and sunny so I donned my joggers, grabbed my water bottle and walkman, picked up my digital camera and went walking. Along the way took these pics, plus many more, so my good friends Berrie and Vegemite could enjoy the walk with me. The walk takes over an hour and I love it, what with the scenic water views, wildlife and fauna it goes all so quickly.

Small loss

I weighed in on Monday evening....I lost 100grams. Was disappointed in that as I expected better, and got very frustrated with myself. But over the "dummy spit" now and upped the excersise, changed the food around a bit...and moving onwards and downwards...with a bit of luck this week....
