05022010 - 4kilos is how heavy??

Last night, I went grocery shopping ... big deal huh??? The majority of the time I'm looking & comparing prices on this and that. Last night, a 4 kilo bag of potatoes was cheaper than the per kilo ones. I picked up one bag of 4 kg of spuds and was amazed. By gingoes spuds are amazing aren't they? ;0) But I'm talking about the weight of the bag, 4 kilos. It was heavy. Firstly I've lost more that 4 kilos, I have now lost almost double that, 7.1kg. Then I thought for a moment, for a very long time I have been carrying up to 60kg more than I should ... 60kilos!!! If I thought a 4kg bag of spuds was heavy, what have I been thinking when I've been carrying at least ten times of that amount around for at least ten years!!

Well back to today, today is a fantastic day. I have had a fantastic Weight Watching week. On Monday morning I weighed in at 126.2 I think, a gain of 1.6kg in a week!!! Today I weighed in at 123.6 - a weekly loss of 2.6kg and a total loss of 7.1kg. I left a kilo on Darwin Street, then another up the mountain of Maundrell Terrace ... so, please do not return to sender. Those mountains are wicked. Monday and Tuesday hill climbs were exhausting but great as we had very cloudy weather, no hot sun burning down on us. Wednesday I went walking to the local shops. Yesterday and today, the sun is back and burning and make my treks a tad difficult ... BUT MY HEART IS STILL PUMPING AND I AM ALIVE!!!

My first big goal was to be 119kg by 23 April, my birthday. It maybe time to revise the goal situation. If I get truly serious, no wine, no 'enjoyment', I can most probably get to 119kg by 25 February, our night out at AC/DC concert. That is in three weeks time last night, that is at least a one kilo loss per week. Hmmmm, achievable??? Let's see huh .....
