Still grinning.....

Still grinning from ear to ear ..... achieving goal was a dream, after 18 months of ww's I was beginning to wonder if I ever was going to get there. Today has been a real hungry day, and I have been battling with the carbs....just want to eat but doing the best I can to keep it under control. I am still tracking, tracking.....

The pic shown was taken at Easter before I started ww.....looking at pics like this shows me how far I have come. Just added up my measurements...I have lost a staggerring 138cms.....wowwwwwwwww!!!

I want to THANK each and everyone of my online friends and fellow bloggers and blogger readers for all of your support on my journey....without some of you I know I wouldn't have made it, I know that, you have kept me going!!! This journey has been more than a weight loss one, I have made some lifetime friends along the way, so I have lots to be thankful for. And THANKS for all the lovely comments on my achieving goal post....

Housewarming ....

Yesterday afternoon we travelled up to Collie (40 minutes drive) to son Simon and Tracey's for a bbq. They recently bought the house they are in and were celebrating with a housewarming. It was a delightful afternoon catching up with family, friends, meeting new friends and neighbours of my son and just enjoying my darling little grandies.

The afternoon was only marred by the temper tanty #3 son had earlier on in the day which left me in a emotional upheaval....some days I really despair about that young man!! I don't envy Hannah and the little girls and pray everyday he will wake up to himself. They too will be living up in Collie as of Monday, maybe now they have a stable base he will find himself work and settle down some.

But anyways the arvo and evening was great....enjoy the pictures. The family one is 4 generations together....me, my mum, my son and his 4 kids. The others are me and my hubby, me and my bro, and me and my little bubba boy Thomas....hasn't he just grown so much?? They only 40 minutes away but I miss them so much....

Ooops nearly forgot.....weigh in tomorrow night....I missed last Wednesday weigh due to working late so its been over a week.....I have been real good, so hopefully those demon scales will be kind....

Read this today....

Smiling is infectious, you can catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin,
when he smiled,
I passed it on to him.
So if you see a smile begin don't leave it undetected.....
lets start an epidemic,
quick,
and get the world infected!!

Worked late.....

Worked late today and was too late to make ww meeting. Knew we were going to be working late, but we had 2 workers off sick today so that made it just that little bit harder getting jobs done. That meant we had to stay that bit longer to get the orders done. Can tell you it is never dull at the funny farm!! Anyways wasn't too worried about missing meeting as last night my tummy was tender and bloated and it was a bit that way today.....so maybe the scales wouldn't have been kind to me. I have had a great week otherwise thou....so next week will go back to my old meeting and weigh in on Monday evening.

Do I need to dress

Do I need to dress more appropiately??

I was out walking this morning, and this person I don't know from a bar of soap....other than to say "good morning, how you doing?'' as we pass one another...told me I needed to dress more appropiately for my age !!

Wellllllllllllllllll to say the least.....I was stunned!!

This is what I was wearing....with nikes on my feet of course!

Am I flaunting my figure??

Am I showing off too much leg??

Am I showing off too much cleavage??

Shhhhhhhhh

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

come closer.......

real close so you can hear me

closer......

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh real quiet pleazzzzzzzzzzzze....

I have to whisper coz everytime I say this out loud the scales go up again ...... .....soooooooo are you ready.....

Can you hear me??

Okies.....I weighed in tonight and yeahhhhhhh I lost 900grams soooooooooo that makes me a 60's girl again.....shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh quietly now...this is the 3rd time I have been here....... soooooooo gotta make it "3rd time lucky" !!!

My new leader was right, her ideas really worked....I followed her advice to the letter and yayyyyyyyyyyy hopefully it will continue working.

Remember now shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whisper please.....quietly now!!!

Happy Birthday Zoe....

My little Zoe is 4 years old today....

She got her first 2 wheeler bike for her pressie....and Jenna and Pop bought her all the bells and whistles to go on it as their present..... hehehe .... more noise for mummy and daddy.... ohhhhhhh and the bike has trainer wheels "coz Jenna it's my first bike ya know"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUNCHKIN.....Love you lots and lots

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Weighed in tonight at a new meeting...and gained 200grams....

I am so over it.....but there is light at the end of the tunnel, the leader at this meeting I went to was ever so helpful....and came up with a few ideas I haven't tried....so I am going back there next week and see what happens. She even suggested putting me on the maintenance program to see what happens to my old bod!! But we going to give these ideas a go first.....can only try. 1) suggests cutting DOWN my excersise

2)different food for breakfast/lunch/dinner

3)start the program from day 1 again.

Thats just a few of the ideas she gave me.....so it is out to the kitchen for me now and get the Annette Syms books recipe books out...and the new WW book I bought tonight...and start a planning. One will be breakfast before heading off to work..usually I don't have time to have time for much, usually have it at smoko time at 10am. Now with less walking in the morning I will.....

Here we go again..................

Happy Birthday Kylee

My daughter kylee is 22 tomorrow and I am going to miss her more than ever. Last year we were able to celebrate together. Kylee will be working tomorrow, as will I, thats why I posting this now. She will be celebrating her birthday with some friends, her partner Stephen is in Adelaide, so hopefully she'll have a great day. Being a public holiday today....even her parcel we sent over may not make it to her in time....

Anyways sweetie, have a great day....lots of hugs and kisses ..... loves and miss ya lots.......

Will be weighing in on Wednesday evening at at different meeting due to public holiday today.

At the moment I am over it!!

See the dummy....welllllll I am ready to spit it!!!

I have had another good week....stuck to points, only one day this week did I go over and then only by 2 points, excersised every day, drank my water....and really felt good. Was looking forward to a loss...a decent loss...hoping to get rid of that unexplained 1.1 gain from last week. Welllllllllllll its not to be...I lost...a whole 200grams.....

Yep....am so over it at the moment....but tomorrow is another day so I guess I'll be back tracking.......

Not happy....

Not at all happy,,,,,have had a great week, counted everything that went into my mouth...excersised everyday for 45 minutes or more....drank over 2 litres of water everyday too.....and what happens?? Weighed in tonight......GAINED 1.1 !!! EXPLAIN PLEASE !!!

Talk about a dummy spit, I am NOT a 60's girl anymore.......but ohhhhhhhhh well tomorrow I will start again. This is the 2nd time I have got to the 60's only to gain the following week...grrrrrrrrrrr!! Tonight I am indulging myself.....it's my birthday tomorrow and was hoping to celebrate being a 68 girl ......but not to be!!!

Even this blog post isn't behaving itself.............ahhhhhhhhh welllll!!!!!!

Just have to let you know Kylee and Stephen had another loss tonight...both of them doing real well., proud of my girl.....yayyyyyy

I am doing it !!!

Wellllllll after a week of menopausal ttom, very unwelcome visitor which hadn't visited for over 3 months (thank heavens!!!).....I have been worried that my weigh in tonight would not bring the results I was hoping for. I have followed the program 100%, tracked everything that entered my mouth, drank 2 to 3 litres of water a day and excersised 6 days this week.

And yayyyyyyyyyyyyy the result is a LOSS OF A KILO !!!!! Am I happy....you betcha!!!! I am a 60's girl.....69.3 to be precise. This time I will stay there....

I know I will....with the support of all my friends that will kick my a**e if I don't !!! ehhhhhhhh girls!!!

Ohhhhhhh more good news Kylee and Stephen (her partner) weighed in tonight ...... both had losses....yayyyyyyyyyy!!

Had the eldest son and his family out this arvo too. They were over east for Christmas this year .....so they came out today to pick up their pressies......Caitlin and Ashlee loved their new prams from Jenna and Pop....

From this to this....

Had grandaughter Skye today and took her to the hairdressers to have her curls tamed....her hair was become so scraggly it really need a trim. She didn't like the hairdressers at all....but loved the hair clips I bought for her after the cut.....

So doesn't my little girl look a 100% better?

I pulled my socks up....

I had a great week as far as weight watching went except for one night when I ate double my points plus for the day!!! Still have to sort out this emotional eating bit.....one day maybe I'll learn!! Anyways I tracked EVERYTHING that went in my mouth, yes even all the naughties on my binge!! I excersised by walking 45 minutes weekdays before work, an hour on the weekends, and drank over 2 lites of water everyday....

I even told my son, who is still causing major stress,( things haven't changed there...if anything they have got worse!!!) that I will not be helping him out in any shape or form while the cannabis is causing such erractic mood swings unless its for Hannah and the little girls. Hannah knows I am always a phone call away if she needs me...but I will not help Shawn till he starts helping himself. He is not willing to stop using and that has even caused him to lose his job. Telling him that has caused less stress and worry for me and I have been able to think about ME just that little bit more.

Anyways my week resulted in a 1.1 loss. I am now 70.3, nearly a 60's girl again!! Thats my goal for next week....to be in the 60's again. Lets see if I can keep those socks pulled up ehhhhhhh....

Time to pull my socks up...

Yep....its time!!! I have dillydallyed around long enough...yoyo'ing up and down for months now. I weighed in tonight and had a gain of 800g..!!! LIKE WOW!!!!

I thought I'd had a good week, thou son has caused a lot of stress....but nahhhhhh hubby said I was either eating well or not eating at all...

So its time to get the tracker out, plan out my days and yep....get my butt into gear and get myself down to goal.

Wish me luck.....

Have a great Australia Day

Me and my other half of me, my hubby Ted, are having a quiet day at home pottering around enjoying each others company today. Tonight we will light up the bbq and have some lamb steaks and salad....

Hope everyone else is enjoying the day...............
