Well I had a small loss, only 300g but a loss is a loss. Last week was not a good week, because it was my birthday I stupidly gave myself a licence to eat whatever I liked and not eat good things. Well this week I have revoked that licence and will be trying VERY hard. I will be trying very hard beccause I have now lost 28kgs, so I've only got 2kgs to get to 30kgs which is AWESOME and I would really love to do that by next week's weigh in. The day after is my husband's first book launch and I would love to have made that small goal by then, that would be so fabulous.
So this week I will eat well, drink lots of water and fit in some form of exercise every day. I've shaken off the negativity and back to being positive. I would really, really love to be at my goal weight by my birthday next year, I think that's most realistic. I think things may get harder as I get closer to goal and I don't want to bum myself out. So bring it on.
On the way to a better me

Negativity
It's amazing how easily negatvity gets in and takes hold isn't it? Someone recently said about me behind my back that losing weight basically hasn't made me "look" any better. I know I'm no model but still, pretty harsh, I don't think I'm that bad. This really hurt and I'm finding lots of other negativity creeping in. I'm finding that I'm not seeing the weight I've lost anymore but instead seeing all the things wrong and how far I still have to go *sigh*.
Also thinking negative things about myself not to do with my weight. I'm thinking how I'm not as intelligent as some other people I know, particularly my husband and probably most of my twitter followers and possibly a lot of my friends. I'm not a complete dullard don't get me wrong but I do sometimes wish I was smarter.
Do you find that once you have 1 negative thought others start creeping in too? I have to admit it's starting to pull me into a funk. Definitely need to shake it off. Anyway it was my birthay on the 17th and I bought some new clothes so here are some pics and as usual the original ones for comparison sake. I also got more new hair and new glasses :D I'm finding it good to be improving myself in other ways as well losing weight, I also have an orthadontist appointment to see about getting my teeth fixed :D

A different kind of post
Hi Everyone, I'm doing a different kind of post this week because I have something to tell you all. My wonderful and talented husband has had a book published that will be released later this month, it's his first book, but not his last (stay tuned for more books). I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you all but I am just so proud of him and want to share his work with you. You can pre-order it right now at http://www.aduki.net.au/, here's a pic of the cover:
I hope you will buy it and I hope you will enjoy it :D
Thanks :D

New photos
Right, time again for new photos, it's been a little while and I have new hair yet again, gotta love new hair. Getting my hair done, doing it nicely myself and putting make up on always makes me feel so much better about myself, does it do that for you too? Have of course put first photo as comparison, so that photo I was 125kgs, new photo I am 98.7kgs, total loss of 26.3kgs. The jeans I am wearing are size 18 and they are too big as one of the photos will show, the pants in the original pic are size 24.

A first
Weigh in today, I had my first stay the same (STS). Slightly disappointed but I'd take that over a gain any day. I plan to work harder this week, the last few weeks I've not been as strict and dedicated as I could have been, so that's my bad.

Summer is on the way out
Well summer is almost over and hopefully we are to the end of the really hot humid weather. Whilst I have enjoyed the warmer weather for a change it will be nice to have cooler non humid weather. With the cooler weather will have to come new clothes, I virtually have nothing that I can wear in cooler weather. The things that I am wearing now are too big, even the summer things are too big but I'm hoping they will hold out until the end of the season. So I think I will be looking at size 14 tops and 16 bottoms, maybe? This excites me, I haven't been this size in goodness knows how long, this is so awesome, feels great.
I had a check up at my dr's recently and I totally forgot to update you on this. For 1, she is VERY happy with my weight loss, I haven't seen her recently and she barely recognised me. Also I had blood tests and I am pretty healthy, no cancer, iron was a little low, low on b12 and vitamin d, but the no cancer thing was the best, getting cancer is a huge fear of mine. But 2, the BEST thing is that I am able, after almost 6 years, to come off my blood pressure medicine. It was even lower at my second appointment :D :D This has me SO happy as I was worried that I would have to be on them forever, so yay.
Tomorrow is weigh in, I'm hoping for a loss but as usual I will expect a gain so that there's no surprises, well no bad ones anyway. Wish me luck :D

Too long again
Hi All
Sorry for the long time between drinks. Phew, have been ridiculously busy of late. After we got back from our Christmas trip we were in the throes of finding a new house to live in and of course we then had to move, why does anyone move house? Moving house is terrible. Anyway, we found a lovely new place that is only minutes walking distance to my son's school, which is another thing that happened. That's right I am now the mumma of a school boy, yikes, how did that happen?? I was also my husband's, my mum's and my twins girls birthday's, so you can see why I've been MIA.
Weightloss has been up and down, mostly down. Apart from last week when I had a MASSIVE gain, like 2.8kg's massive. To say I was unhappy and disappointed would be an understatement. It was that special time in the month for me and 2 birthday's didn't help, but I'm happy to report that after yesterday's birthday I lost 1.3kg's (although this might bite me in the bum next week, but I'm trying not to let it). So I'm sitting at 98.7 right now, bummer because I was down to 97.2 which was awesome, but I will get there again hopefully next week.
So speaking of birthdays, it's hard isn't it? You don't want to be the odd one out, but you REALLY need to be, or show a little more self control. Yes I enjoyed the time with my family and enjoyed not really worrying about food, but I really should have been, there were foods I could eat, I made sure of that, but I indulged a little too much me thinks. What's wrong with feeling a little left out? There's nothing wrong with it, not when it comes to food and your weight, it's more important than that. The next birthday that we have to celebrate that we can actually attend is mine, hopefully I can still enjoy myself but not OVERindulge.
