Made it to 10%

and I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule so am happy, happy, happy about that! That was my Xmas goal and last night when I weighed in it was the 10th of Dec so gotta be pleased with that result huh?!? Only 900g to go to -20kg so even that's looking realistic by Xmas now! Wow I'm really doing it this time - this is the most I've ever lost as usually given up long ago but NOT this time. This is for life and I'm gonna get to goal and stay there, so watch this space people! Damn WW site is doing 'maintenance' this morning so can't even get on there to gloat lol.
Got our Xmas work do tomorrow night and as it will be my final one due to the new job I intend to be making the most of the complimentary drinkies lol. I know I'll be going over points but am not worried about it as I figure hey it's one night and damn it I'm going to enjoy and make the most of it. I'm so in the zone so I know getting back on track the next day won't be a problem. Have lost 4.5 kg in the past 2 weeks so am quite happy to accept a small loss or even stay the same next week so long as I don't put on! Doesn't mean I'm gonna go crazy and eat/drink everything in sight - just that I'm not going to be too concerned about points!
Anyway, I think I might go to the 9am aqua class this morning as I've missed a few lately so better get off here and go get organized. TNT xoxo

I got the job!

It sounds so cool! I am very excited and start 18th Jan next year. Handed in my notice yesterday and told my workmates so is all really happening. The new place was very cool and definitely somewhere I can see me fitting right into. They seem to have a similar philosophy to where I am currently but much more of a whanau (family) focus and lots of babies which suits me down to the ground as under 2's are my real passion and currently I am working with 2-5 year olds.
Foodwise all is good, been pretty slack in the exercise area but just feeling really tired at the moment for some reason - I'm sure I'll come right again! Maybe I just need to push myself to get out there and do it and I'll probably feel better for it!
Anyway better go do some of that dreaded housework stuff! TNT

I'm so excited!!!

Despite the hiccups re TTOTM I totally blitzed my desired loss of 400g to get me to -15kg with a fantastic loss of 2.4 taking my total loss now to 17kg! Woo hoo, go me lol. Only 2 kg to get to my Xmas goal of 10% and 3kg until I reach -20kg so I'm feeling fantastic right now and very proud of myself! Got a call re job interview and they said "they are very interested in offering me the position" and I'm going in today to spend some time in the centre and see if it feels like it fits with me. So fingers crossed but it's certainly sounding pretty good! Life seems to just finally be falling into place at the moment - it's taken nearly 40years but it suddenly just feels great! Bring it on I say lol.
Ok better fly and get myself organized for the day. Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday. TNT xoxo

ticking along on Tuesday

Took yesterday and today off due to my little 'women's problem' which has been absolutely terrible that past couple of days but finally this afternoon seems to be easing up thank GOD! I am sooo tired today all I want to do is sleep. I did go back to bed for an hour or so this morning but still feel like i could have another wee snooze this afternoon.
I did go to the Dr and amongst other things I have agreed to go on the pill to see if it will help regulate things a bit, so here's hoping.
Had a job interview yesterday afternoon and I think it went pretty well so I will find out one way or the other by Friday. Scary stuff! I love it where I am working at the moment but not enough hours and also just time for a change and some new challenges. Will let you know how it goes.
This week has been good food wise, all on track and been trying out some yummy new things.
Excercise kinda went out the window a bit but that's been due to the bleeding problem so hopefully can get back to the plan with that now too.
Well I promised myself I'd do some work on my children's profile books for work today and so far I haven't touched them so guess I'd better go get busy lol. TNT :-)

Monday already!

Wow where did the weekend go? Mine has been really good points wise and stuck to the excercise plan except I swapped my Sat morn walk for an aqua aerobics class instead so all good there! Hadn't been able to do my usual aqua classes due to being TTOTM so when it had gone by Fri night I was keen to get back in the water Sat morning! All good until I got home from pool and then boom (or should I say gush)! Monthly visitor is back with a vengeance and hasn't let up since! Has been bloody (excuse the pun lol) awful! I have been flooding ever since and it's so bad I'm not even going into work today. After putting it out there on the WW boards yesterday I have decided to make an appt to see my Dr this morning if I can get in. This is ridiculous! I have barely left the house all weekend because of it and have been through 3 packs of MATERNITY pads in the past 48 hours. And thats not including having to use a towel overnight! Far out - what the hell is going on??? All this on top of already having it for a week! Anyway sorry to go on but the reason I'm even mentioning it is that I did wonder if it had anything to do with losing weight? Still not sure but will see what doc has to say about that too.
Meantime I'm gonna stay home from work as everytime I move I flood so being at work would be a nuisance to say the least. I hope it's under control by 5.30 as I have a job interview then and last thing I need to do is leave a bloody puddle on my seat there (I'm sure that would make a lovely impression on them - NOT)! Will go regardless obviously so wish me luck.
So looks like I'm going to have to swap tonights planned swim for a land activity instead so I guess I'll be out walking instead. In fact I think I might go this morning.
Going to have poached eggs on toast for breaky and have planned a prawn and asparagus salad for lunch so all sounding yummy. No idea what tea will be yet but hey it is only 6.30am so I'm doing well lol.
Ok better go ring the boss to see if she can get someone to cover me. I may have to go in for a couple of hours as it's a bit hard to find a reliever willing and able to start at 7.30am!
TNT,
Cyndi xoxo

so far so good

Have been up and out walking this morning. I must say it is a whole lot easier with proper shoes (mind you the amount I paid for them they oughta feel fantastic lol). This week is going to be a bit of a challenge for me foodwise I think as I just realized how broke I am and payday not til Wed and got hardly any veges! I'm sure I'll survive though maybe I'll have to raid friends gardens! Might see if I can scrape together what I do have and go to the market over the weekend too. Anyway it's looking like it's going to be a beautiful day here today so I guess i'd better hit the shower and get organized for work - Ugh! Am going to try to do the 'jellimeat routine' tonight so will factor that into my excercise as well. For those of you now wondering what the hell I'm on about (hehe) that's my weight routine. I don't own any proper weights so use two tins of cat food instead, hence the name lol. Everybody have a great day and I'll check in later on if I can. Til then xoxo

Back in the game

Bit the bullet and went to WI tonight and was pleasantly surprised - lost .9 so am pleased with that! Must admit though I did hunt around for the lightest clothes I had (while still remaining decent) before going lol. I know, I know it's only cheating myself BUT I so know if I'd put on again I could so easily have spun right back into that bad space again!
At the end of each meeting our leader gets us to tell the person next to us the one thing we're going to do to help with our weight loss this week and I told Andrea and Jessica I was going to exercise 5 (yes you read that right) 5x this week! So the plan is;

Friday - early morning walk
Saturday - same again
Sunday - DAY OF REST!
Monday - evening swim
Tuesday - morning aqua aerobics
Wednesday - maybe I will, maybe I wont lol
Thursday - morning aqua aerobics

That combined with sticking within my points is going to take me over and beyond the - 15kg mark at next weeks WI. As it stands tonight I only have 300g until I get there so wish me luck! TNT
