24052010 - Shrinking Fingers ...

There is one negative thing about weight-loss (besides the giving up on the fatty foods at weekend time!!) and that is ... my fingers are becoming skinnier. Of all the places I need to reduce weight, such as my bum, thighs, tummy, face.... my fingers want to get skinny first LOL. And of course, I'm a fidgeter aren't I??? So I merrily play with the rings that could barely move about my fat fingers six months ago. The biggest problem with this is ... maybe just maybe they may completely slip off when I'm not paying attention. Just can't win, can I??? LOL

Well, somehow I lost weight last week. On Monday I was almost 121kg, by Friday I was 118.8kg. I wasn't 110% angelic on WW but I didn't veer off track either. Toilet training is STILL happening here, not with me, but my 3yo 'ginger whinger'. Actually its not happening, I wish it would happen a little quicker, but it is a very long 'work in progress' and by 8pm the chardonney is going down very very nicely thank you very much. I yearn for the day he is completely toilet trained like his older brother is now, if not, my liver will be on the first bus out of here LOL

Right now though, I am feeling lousy. I have the flu, the 3yo has the flu, the 6yo gave us the flu, the hubby is sneezing. Doing well! Today though, with my rings sliding back and forth, I felt 'smaller' and I had loads of energy so I cleaned out the saucepan cupboard that hasn't been culled in a while. The Garbo Truck is going to hate my bin tomorrow. I needed to make room for an electric wok my mother gave us months ago, but it finally found a home today! I also found an electric Deep Fryer in the cupboard which I have used once in many years. The packaging said 'use three cups of oil' ... Three Cups of Oil??????? I put on five kilos just reading the box. My Mum was devoted to her deep fryer, thankfully I have no love for the evil machine. Maybe that should have found the bin too!

Tomorrow means it will be 7 months until it is Christmas Day. Oh hody ho ho ho and I still have THAT goal in the back of my head to be in double figures. I'm looking at a 19kg loss in 30 weeks ... I wonder, I wonder ......

18052010 - Missing in Action ;0)

Hellos followers. I've been bad, very bad ... I just realised I haven't blogged at all this month!! See what happens when you skid off the healthiness highway and go well and truly scrub!

My WW ways went a little 'scu-if' just after Easter and I just never got back to putting in 110% again as my Birthday followed, then illness and then a beautiful weekend away with my family for Mothers Day. I drunk farrrrr too much white wine and Kahlua (not together though!) and my hubby took me to a plush seafood restaurant and was introduced to ... oysters kilpatrick. My hubby and I tried oysters by themselves way back in 1998 and hated them, never tried them since but the waitress made a suggestion or three and now we loved cooked oysters. The WeightWatchers God will kill me!!

So I'm back on the track, again. And I got on the scales after blissfully ignoring them and yesterday I was 120.9, today I am 120kg. I was expecting alot worse, like 123 or 125kg, so all is good, but of course, could be better.

Today I attempted to clean up my wardrobe, I have stuff from at least 1986 in there! My bridesmaid outfit in 1988 from a shop called "Cassells", there. The Brissy Bullets Championship Tshirts from 1987, oh and a big pink tshirt I made at high school in 1984, no 'Made in China' on that baby! LOL. I can't find the guts to rid of this stuff! I also found gorgeous swimsuits, and I do remember buying them, but they are size 14! What the hell am I doing with size 14 in my wardrobes!!! People don't even see my swimwear these days because I wear seven layers of clothes over them when I do swim, when them blue moons appear when the pigs fly backwards doing sommersaults. So I can wishful think away and hope one day I'll fit into these skinny girls swimmers ... by then the elastic will probably be eroded LOL

Told you all it was going to be long journey .... ;0)
