I am so pleased I started this blog


Thanks to everyone for there supportive comments. It has lifted me up no end. I agree, and some times wonder y I am still in this marriage. The only answer I can come up with is this was my house and I am bloody sure I ain't giving half of it away. We 'celebrate' our 10th anniversay in Novemeber. I keep saying what I would like to do that weekend but will see if it happens. I have set myself a weight loss challenge of 10 kilos by then which was exactly 4 mths the day I set it. That will also bring me in ear shoot of my goal of 125 and would be do-able by Xmas 05 at this rate. But I am not setting any date deadlines as such, if I don't make it to 130 by 5th November so be it, I can't at this stage see why I wouldn't. But there are a lot of corners to turn b4 then and no-one knows what is behind the corner.
I spent this morning packing my bag, well it started out to be bag but is now bags. I am off to Westport for a week leave after work on Monday. Have a family birthday on Saturday and lookng forward to catching up with everyone. Last time we were together was last Labour Weeknd (October 04) I haven't said anything about my weight loss so will be good to see there reactions. I plan on lots of beach walks. I have also made a packed with myself not to eat any of Aunty Pat's baking, she does some lovely cakes and biscuits. I also will not have potato with my meals and will go for a walk every night after tea. I will come home at least the same weight I went I will not gain. My usual weigh in day is Tuesday but i'll drop in on Monday morning tea time and weigh in so I know what I am working with.
I went for an hour walk this afternoon. Took a different route to what I have been doing OMG there are some flash new houses going up in this little town. Was lovely treking out in the sun and just enjoying the fresh air.
While I am in Chch on Tuesday b4 catchin the bus to Westport I will go to Fashion Factory, womenswear for larger sizes, I buy there dress trousers. The 2 pair I have are a 30 and 28 both r so large on me they r indecent hehehe. So I will go for a size 26, I will only get the one pair though as I am not going to need 26 for long I AM SURE OF THAT. On my return to chch b4 coming home Tuesday 19th will call into K and K another womanwear store. I have never shopped ther b4 never fitted me but I will have a look see and going by what I have seen on trademe I think I'll be making some purchases there heheheh.
Well I must be off and do some chores...what am I going to have for tea. Ick I get so sick of thinking that.
I'll be back.

Hope you have a great week in Westport. I know it will be hard to stick to healthy eating, but you've got a great attitude - I know you can do it.

It is hard to stick to healthy eating when someone else is doing the cooking - but you have planned ahead which is great!
Hope you have a great time away:)
