We have a wedding tomorrow so its my friday today anyway... bring on the weekend, a warm one here too by the looks, so most will be speant in mums pool, gosh i need some new bathers.. but not for another 3kilos ive said! will be a nice birthday or christmas present!!
Guess what - tomorrow im getting a new hair style, im getting lots of layers and a long sweeping fringe at the front.. im a bit scared but i think it will suit and ill just have to get used to it! ill have to take some photos at the wedding tomorrow and post them next week! I found some shoes today they are very pretty and comfy which is very important.. I tried my dress on again last night and i wasnt as happy, i had just had a big pasta dish and felt frumpy and gross, and my hair was greasy and yuck so i was a bit down, i told myself to get over it and get the dress off before i do any damage... so i took it off and after i did my nails, tan and washed and dried my hair i tried it on later with a better result.. and with my hair done nicely tomorrow i think the dress will be lovely. its black with white pocka dots, so its just getting used to that style if you know what i mean...
This week has been pasta week.. we have had way too much carbs/pasta, monday lunch, monday tea tuesday tea, wed lunch and tea so we are having nothing for a week now.. i think that will affect my weight loss on monday, especially after such good numbers this week too... can only do my best for the rest of the week though, we have the wedding tomorrow so the wine will be lovely and the meals are normally pretty good there, and then we have friends kids on saturday and sunday so ill be tracking my meals for the rest of the week, pasta is my enemy, i always splurge, i started to lose when i went to one serve for the week and then it was like a treat, so i am going to go back to that from now on...
My other big change this week - bread - multigrain... we have been getting way too comfy on white bread and i know there is no points difference but i think this will help alot, not only the nutrition value but also because white bread is way to easy to have too much of it and too frequent where as multigrain bread i will have when i have to and if its all that in the cupboard its all i can have!!
Better get back to it, lots of loose ends to tie up before i leave for the weekend. have a great weekend all, and keep yourselfs accountable and enjoy yourselvse at the same time.. for any of you that read this.. havent had any comments in a while, who knows i could be talking to myself! im a good listener!!

Back to Basics - PAID OFF
Guess what - I lost a whopping 2 kilos this week!! Yes thats right from some treturous 6 weeks before of eating and drinking and not as much exercise, weigh in this morning was very exciting and a bit unbelievable.. 83 exactly!! start weight last week was 85 so look out! that 5kilos by the end of the year and ten by mid feb is looking very nice right now!! I think setting my stats back to zero and starting from scratch, back to basics with tracking and everything really helped./ Needed a boost and by the looks of it its worked! Having a bit of food poisoning last night helped too i think! even though i had had a few naughties over the weekend i was pretty good. Friday night was pizza and cocktails but i stuck to my points then last night we had bbq but i had a chicken steak and lots of salads.. but the mud cake and two udls cans had me worried this morning too. maybe thats what posioned my poor tummy... rang chappy after i weighed in this morning and he goes.. no wonder after how sick you were last night, hes a very very good nurse!
Hugs and kisses go out to kel and leigh and their little baby who was born friday night, everything was fin and we went to see her saturday and she was tiny, screaming and gorgous though.. found out saturday night she might have a hole in her lungs and they have her in ICU, taking one day at a time.. very sad, so my thoughts are there with them today, gosh it puts things in perspective doesnt it...
On a better note, My brother and his now fiance alicia got engaged on wednesday night, we had dinner and drinks for them last night, very excited for them both.
Talk soon xx

What a miserabl wednesday -
Morning, Sorry about the double posting below, my blog was being naughty yesterday!!
So Day 3 and everything is going to plan, back on track and going well, counting and exercising and all planned for the weekend. That horrible time of the month has struck and ive had the worst period pains all morning, feeling a bit blah but keeping up the water and having some fruit for morning tea so im hoping that if i have another couple of nurofens it too will pass!
Raining here today, gosh where is all this rain coming from, the farmers will be dancing!!
Anyway better get back to it, busy at work as usual, not much time to chat, just posting to let you know im doing well! tonight some chops with vegies i might even do a warm soup for entree to warm us up and contend our tummies and the chops are only tiny so we could do with something else.. havent decided what ill have for lunch, maybe a wrap or a toastie.. will see!!

DAY 1 DOWN! DAY 2 GOING WELL
Hi there,
I cant view my blog for some reason but ill keep updating for you all that decide to have a read..
Day one went great, and how great did it feel and what a difference it made to get out and exercise, it was just a walk but it did wonders for how i felt! highly recommend it!! Decided not to join curves, I thought - ive lost this much weight not paying for it why start now.. and I have enough on with walking as well so it probably wasnt going to be worth it! Each to their own though, who knows i might one day, i have been doing my own toning stuff at home anyway so I dont really need to, its easy enough to pay a membership but the membership doesnt help with losing or gaining anything!!
Anyway just a quick post hope it works. Latina fresh pasta with spinach and ricotta for tea tonight with a tomatoe based pasta sause - yummo. Chappy cooked a yummy lean steak with vegies last night, needed some veg, another couple of serves tomorrow night and thursday too, drinking loads of water the last few days too which has been helping! Got my energy back last night and turned into sadie the cleaning lady! chappy couldnt believe it after the day before - not getting my butt off the couch at all!!
Hope your all doing well, Its great up here on the wagon again! come join me if you havent already!!
Take care xx

TODAYS THE DAY!! WEEK 1 DAY 1
Okay - busy at work so ill make this quick!
Just announcing that im starting from day one today!
START WEIGHT 85 KILOS
GOAL WEIGHT 75 KILOS
Ive set a 3 month challenge to achieve this goal weight and I KNOW I CAN DO IT.
Ill be blogging even more to keep my self accountable, I have been on a six week bender which had no losses and even some gains, (any loss i had was right back on with more the next week!)
I know its a strange time to start - the silly season, but as I said to leesh today - id rather be skinny than silly and if that means making a few sacrafices here and there - im there!!
Have a great day ill blog later or tomorrow, one day at a time, here we go!!
THIS WEEKS MINI GOALS -
Walk/exercise every day this week, I have 14 days to make up for - start slow so i dont overdoo it, asthma has been up since ive been very lazy the last few weeks so want that back on track...
Water water water - 3 litres a day this week, flush the shit out of my system is the plan..
SOCIAL DOO friday night - have a couple of drinks, not over points, healthy food choices, no nibbles!
TRACK EVERYTHING (planned the week last night)
NO CHOCOLATE - thats right, its TTOM this week and it will be a tester, I have some ww chocolate cakes instead - i know i said no chocolate but ive allowed for one or two of them to get me through - instead of a packet of freddos..
I also realise that my body might be too used to what i was doing after losing 22.3 kilos and its time to make some more changes - so ill be remaining aware of that and changing little things at a time i think, so i can maintain them for good!
GO ME!

OKAY - ITS D DAY
I actually dont know what that means, but its DO OR DIE day for me today!
What a weekend - had a blast - but my body is kicking and throwing things at me now... So is my bank account! Spent over $700 on food and drinks over the weekend - one weekend - plus races and hardly any of that was betting too.. and ate and drank WAYYYYY too much friday saturday sunday and tuesday... was in melbourne on weigh in so i didnt weigh till tuesday morning and id actually lost 300grams since the gain of 600g the week before so it was 84.2 i think, it was good to know but it didnt stop me blowing my points for the week in one day on tuesday and then yesterday - not to mention the maccas for breaky - more than id eat at tea time though and then chocolate pasta, pizza and anything else you name it i had it - what do they call this - my confession, my reconcilliation i think we called it at school. im reporting my wrong doings and im planning on making amends...
I havent recorded the loss this week. im starting from scrath. I have lost nothing, i have ten kilos to lose from today! START weight 84.5 ive decided and ill weigh in on monday. So the next four days are going to have to be detoxing and exercising, I havent done one bit of exercise for a whole week, what a blow out. so walking each day thurs, fri sat and sunday and at least 2 litres of water, possibly 3 every day. as well as fruit and veg to cleanse the crap ive been putting in the last seven days or more - try the last month i think.
I have a hens night this weekend which i think im going to get out of so i can save money and points on drinking and eating out. i have had far too much on lately and my body is saying to stop. i really want to feel good again. it was really hard accepting compliments about my weight loss on the weekend when i felt so frumpy and bloated. so the buck stops here!
I will fill out my tracker today and stick to it till weigh in monday and then its a whole new week, i guess one good thing is the old me would have said, wait till monday to start - you cant start on a thursday - but i am!
I have SOOOOO much work to catch up on so i better get cracking. I had to confess straight up to keep me honest for the day, will put a roast beef in the slow cooker at lunch and then ill cook lots of vegies after my walk tonight! Will blog tomorrow to let you know how im going, thanks for checking in cassie, i love that we keep track of each other as well. i need big smacks and big pushes this week.
Have a good day xx - ill post some pics this arvo or tomorrow too, got some great ones from the weekend x
