Weigh-in Jan 22nd

Oh my GOD, I am in the 60's.

Can you freaking believe it? Me, 69.9 kilos. Yeah I know, 100 grams under 70, but hey you take what you can get.

So today I had a weekly loss of 300 grams (without even trying) and I am 69.9 kilos, that is just 6.9 kilos away from my goal.

Today I am going to the David Jones Spa and having a hydrotherapy bath and a shoulder and back massage. I can't have any manipulation on my neck, so I guess I will get a few extra minutes on my shoulders which is good because I sooooooooo need it.

I am looking forward to it immensely. Also, I am looking forward to my lovely date with my hubby tonight. I get to get dressed up and feel sexy.

Today I went to the Salvation Army store in my area and found myself a pair of Black Sussan Aus size 12 pants and a nice slinky top for a total of $15.50 (for both items). I am such a snazzy shopper. I can always find good clothes for almost nothing. This time of year is a great time because people (like me even) are cleaning out their closets. They're getting rid of the too big, too small, and things they never wear. I will take a picture and publish it soon.

Get yourself to your local Salvation Army, it is the best way to get clothes when you are on a budget, or losing weight and know you won't be in that size for long.

I want everyone to meet Shelley:

shelley


Yesterday on the Channel 9 news, I met her for the firsst time. The police found her lying on the ground in a train station left for dead. Three youths were caught on camera torturing the poor baby. When they showed Shelley (the name the police gave her) with the doctor that saved her life I was overcome with sadness for her. She was so friendly and cute and I couldn't believe that someone would kick her, stone her, and run over her with their bikes. She has an eye injury as well as a broken fibula (which incidentally I've broken before and it hurt like hell).

Now that the story has had so much press, in the papers and on the news, one 18 year old male who turned himself in and a 15 year old are already being charged with committing an act of aggravated cruelty on an animal. According to the police the max fine could be $22,000AU, or 2 years in jail.

Yay...you are Ms 69.9!!!! Isn't it wonderful when you go down to a different ten? I cannot wait to get to the 80's and then some lower too!

You know I am so happy I am having Aussie and NZ weight loss friends. Because you all there are in this exquisite and vibrant summer mood. Spring and summer is wonderful time of weight loss for me. I think it is the sun and the sea and the weather that make me so happy that I want to treat myself better.

Having you all living this "high" season for me sort of gives me back almost the entire feeling, and although winter is tough for me, I, cos of you all, am trying harder than any winter in the past!

And I so love shopping in bargains too! This is actually while I am going to Amsterdam for the second year in a row...I was ecstatic with the sales and bargains last year. The stuff we bough at the prices we boughted actually paid of for the trip!

I hope you have a gorgeous date! Boy am I bubbly today...lol *hugs*

Well done on the weight loss, btw - I'm no good with metrics, but I think that's about 140 pounds and that's just fabulous!!!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
