Memories!!

What a lovely day I've had.  Even though the internet is being a dick, I managed to go back and read the first 12 months of my blog.  What a cool thing to do.  It was nearly 7 years ago.  So the kids were 4, 7 and 9.  What a different life to my life today of surviving teenagers and one pre teen.

Life was uncomplicated back then........

Someone reminded me as I was looking back on the photos that there would be fire victims that have lost all their photos.  Luckily in the digital age, we can access them easily.

Food is totally on track.  If anything I'm not eating enough.  I have discovered avocado and have been having it in a sandwich as a spread instead of butter.  I have been so lazy these holidays with my food as well so it's now been 2 days of tracking and being on track.

I'm really looking forward to weigh in next Tuesday.

Anyway just a quickie today.  The catalogues have arrived and I have 3,600 to fold.

First Ever Christmas Loss

Well for as long as I can remember!!

My last weigh in was about the 19th December.  Christmas eating and drinking (a lot) and I weighed in tonight to a 500g loss.  Woohoo.

I'm feeling totally relaxed as well and Martine commented on that tonight.  Amazing what a few weeks off can do to recharge the batteries.

I'm going to track on My Fitness Pal and see what this week brings.  I don't know what it is about a new year that brings renewed passion.  Long may it continue.  For those that don't know, I left weight watchers about 9 months ago and followed my leader when she went out on her own.  She is the most knowledgable person I know when it comes to nutrition so I am learning more than I did with ww in all the times I have gone.  An amazing friend Martine and I go to her house for an hour session of talking and working through things.  And all at the bargain price of a ww meeting.

So I need to take advantage of this and prove once and for all that I can lose this weight and keep it off. I am still about 15 kgs from my highest weight which is good but I need to keep going.  I do feel that this year I will make progress.

A Port Douglas and Palm Cove luxury holiday in April is on the agenda for my big birthday that I'm not talking about so I want to lose 20 kgs before then.  Is that possible?

I think so......watch this space.
