One day down, thousands to go ;0) And yes, a blog entry two days in a row!! I'm doing well. This morning I nervously bounced on my scales and my vomits did me well, I'm 'only' 118.6kg!!! I was expecting some figure over 120kg, but I'm happy to settle with 118.6kg. But then I found my tape measure and the figures weren't siding with my happiness. Most measurements up by a centimetre but hey, no one to blame but myself!!
This morning I got in a walk up the hill to take my son to school. I wasn't breathless but my right foot & ankle hates me. As well as putting up with my chest virus, gastro bug and two fighting boys at school holiday time, I also have some sort of pinched nerve ahappening. Mid-last week, of all places I got a pain in my bum, above my right thigh and since then my right foot has suffered pins and needles. Basically when I walk or use my foot, it feels a big fat brick is tied to it. After almost a week the nerve pain is going down but my foot still feels like a big fat brick, so that made for interesting walking up the hill this morning!!! Bloody limping like I've walked 50km instead of 500metres!
Right now I'm awaiting a radio interview that will feature Chris Gibson, Mel Gibson's brother and no, I am not interested at all about what Mel is yelling at his Russian other half!!! Apparently Mel's brother Chris has written a book, not about his brother, but about his weight loss. Apparently he gained a fair bit of weight and the book is all about his 'journey'. I'm interested to hear what he has to say, not sure if I'll buy his book ... I only have a library full of weight loss books here gathering dust piles!!
Must go, 3yo keeps hovering around ESC keyboard button.....
Keep on Moving

P.S. Edited to say that the Chris Gibson 4BC interview was excellent. His book is titled "Memoirs of a Fat Bastard" and I am very tempted in buying it. Apparently he reached a weight of 150kg and was a very angry person inside, sounds familiar. He felt 'small' by others around him, once again sounds very familiar and felt ashamed and angry and stayed in his 150kg frame. He ate and drank lots and after another boozy night he has 'that wake up call'. Anyways here is his website if anyone out there is interested, doesn't look like his brother Mel but sure sounds like him!!! www.chrisgibson.tv
Hey Janelle, keep moving toward whatever it is you want to be. My biggest problem was that I always ran away from being the fat bastard. It was when I worked out that I could choose to be something positive that I really leapt towards thin, fit, vital and healthy.
ReplyDeletegood luck on the journey and the journal.
