Well I went and faced those dreaded scales again last night. I was surprisingly nervous to walk through those doors but Tania held my hand - LOL!! As I already knew I had put on about 10 kgs in the last 6 months. Good effort hey!!
My old leader's face lit up when we walked in but she looked sad as I was telling her I had failed to keep the weight off by myself. I told her that I wasn't sad. Disappointed but not sad. This is just a bump in the big journey of my life. I will never get up to my highest weight that I started at 18 months ago so even though I have put on so much, it will come off again. I have come to the realisation that I cannot do this alone.
So day 1 has been a good day. Ate well and within points and did the 1.5 hours walking delivering the local paper so off to a very good start. One day at a time!!
Ashleigh is loving her new school. She has made friends already and comes out smiling every day which is a far cry from the last few months. She is hardly getting any homework compared to having to do hours every night. I am not a fan of homework. Kids have too much to do with sport and family committments that they don't need to be sitting down to hours of homework every night. I feel so relieved that we have made the right decision.
We had our first builder come over tonight and he has put us on to someone to ring to get some plans drawn up and then we can take them to a few builders and get some quotes. I must check with the bank but he said it is common in his game for people to have to get 3 quotes. I must start taking some photos of the area that we are building onto. We have a monsterous lillypilly tree which has to come out. Something else I need to get quotes on.
On a good note, I have got my tax back already and have done Steve's. He is getting about $5000 back which is fantastic for him. They have been taking out too much tax because his overtime is all over the place so it is nice to get a big lump sum. He is going to buy a laptop, golf clubs and stuff for his motorbike. I get some to pay the school fees and council rates. Big bills that only get paid at tax time.
Thankyou so much for all your supportive comments here and on facebook. I think things are turning around for the better. New beginnings.
IS IT WET?

Yay you updated your blog. Just over the moon re Ashleigh. Catch up soon, we can do this together. You know where I am if you need to offload or about to eat that block of chocolate. Martine xx
Hi Tina way to go for facing the scales, I did the same today back on track to finish this journey to goal.
I am glad Ashleigh is happy. Take Care Jill
Hello Ms Tina,
Great to see an update and well done for going back to WW... it feels somewhat comforting to go back through the doors. We all know what to do and how to do it... so lets all rally together and complete this journey!!
Can't wait to hear your progress....

That's the main thing I like about keeping a blog Tina, it's always there, and it doesn't gripe at you if you don't post for a bit. I love my blog, but often don't update it like I want to, but I'm so pleased I've never deleted it. I've enjoyed reading what's been going on in the Lehmann household. I am so pleased you got the the bottom of Ashleigh's bullying situation, and am very sad to learn it was her 'friend'!!! What a manipulative little wretch!! She's not going to have a good life, that's for sure, if she's already like that now, imagine the poor man who ends up with her. So pleased Ashleigh is enjoying her new school. Good on you for going back to WW. You sound so happy and focussed. Well done on your tax return, like you we always pay off big bills with our refund too. Take care of yourself and I look forward to following your journey with you again.
