Feeling great

Hi ,
well as u can read yesterday i went for a walk which i never do by myself and earnt 2.5points throught the rest of the day i continued to walk, at home and at work and got up to 17,540 steps which in total gave me 6.5 points and i feel great, i set out to achieve something and ive done it. I'm going to go for a bike ride today my daughter will be on the back so hopefully she sits there long enough..
My step mother in law (because it was her birthday) decided not to start yesterday which im a little annoyed at but she promises she will start today. She better, its not only her that needs the motivation its me as well and if she does it then i am more likely to push myself more because i wanna loose weight each week as well. Hope that doesnt sound selfish its like a motivation thing.
Anyways i gotta do a couple more things before my daughter wakes up.
have a great day i will, can't wait for this weeks weigh in.

back on track

hi ,
well i feel great today its amazing how when u exercise it makes u feel fantastic.
I had to wait for my car to get serviced so i went for a walk i had 2 hours to spare so i walked for an hour then turned back already this morning i have earned myself 2.5 points and i still have to work yet this arvo cool hey.
On a down note i did put on 1kg this f/n but i ok with that because i got back on track and i have some motivation now my step mother in law joined up last night so i need to make sure i have good results each week.
Anyways that was just a quick note and now im going to have lunch as well as get dinner ready for tonight, were going to the step mother in laws (tanya) for her birthday should be interesting bbq dinner im making chicken shaslicks (how ever u spell that ) least then i can work out that bit of my meal and not worry if i eat a bit of potato salad or something that might be higher in points, but i will try to stay away from all that and only eat the good stuff...... might have to have a piece of birthday cake if there is some but only a little one lol.
Anyways have a great day

Monday - new week back on track

Hi ,
When i woke up this morning i couldnt wait to start back on track again, i had this time written out my menue plan for the week which made it heaps easier . I wasnt looking around the kitchen wondering what to have for breakky. I cut up all my watermelon and rockmelon for each day even weighed them and put them in different containers to keep them seperate and fresh.
I have started my day with 2 vita brits, 1/2 cup skim milk and half a teaspoon raw sugar as well as 180grams of watermelon, 70g of rockmelon and 80g of grapes. I'm so full its not funny but its only like 3.5 points so im happy with that.
Im hoping to have a good loss next monday because i know its going to be a gain this f/n, but i will go out and exercise as well as eat right . Today im going to go trough all my recipe books and find some nice new ones that i have never tried.
I do have to say though just in my 4.5 hours at work yesterday arvo i did earn myself 2.5 points for steps ive done which is good could have been more but im happy with that.
Anyways have a great day will post losses or gain on here later tonight if not tomorrow.
Thanks for reading, roxy

Back from our week away

Hi , well i have been back from our camping trip now since late tuesday arvo . had a great time although the heat nocked alot out of me and my family ( it was 490C where i was) it was still great to get away.
I thought i will take my predometer and make sure i walk and eat right.... well all that went out the window first up the wednesday night before i left my bofriend thinking he was dfoing the right thing put the clothes in the wash along with my predometer so it wasnt working, luckily i had an older one. Then half way to barmah where we were going i realized we forgot the airbed then a little while down the track i looked up into the revision mirror to see something fly out of the trailor (lucky cos it was pitch black ) my daughters porta cot had fallen of so i sent my boyfriend and my dad of for a search lol lucky they found it but not before a car hit it and smashed the wheel. But all is good this is minor we could still use it.
Back to the whole point of all of this it was way to hot to walk , i did go swimming but had to be carefull cos of the current we were in the murry.
Anyways it turned out to be a great trip didnt drink that much and ate a little bad but havent been able to get back on track yet........... Till this monday.............
I have just learnt that my step mother in law is going to join weight watchers with me She has been told she needs to give up the drinking and smokes and eat better as she has high blood pressure . i have explained what weight watcher is and she is excited to join im also excited to be having someone to go with and to encourage me and for me to encourage someone else. I think this is the kick up the bum i need.
And also i wanna be the one to loose more weight lol.
By the way i just wanted to say how i do believe that some people will think that this is a whole lot of rambling about nothing especially with the way that the fires have been tearing peoples lives up, this is just my way of getting my thoughts down and i do hope that everyone is ok. Its such an emotional time at the moment and i am thinking of everyone and hoping that everyone is ok.
This is all for me today ( i promise next time will be more interesting).

Week 16

Well yesterday was monday and i got back on those scales full well knowing i had put on weight especially after the end of the week that i just had . But thats no excuse.
I thought i would ut on about 2 kg but luckily only put on 700grams which is still bad because im trying to get down to the double didgets by end of feb, looks like im just going to have to work more harder and keep away from the junk and alcohol (not that im a big drinker anyways) , what i do know is im going camping on thursday so hopefully i will walk heaps and swim.... maybe i should make a plan or something to walk so far each day or so many steps yeah thats what i might do the most amount of steps i have done in 1 day is 13,000 i think so maybe i should say 15,000 every day it can be done cant it lol. Well lets hope so 15,000 everyday im camping. Also because i have to miss out on weigh in next week its an extra week i need to be good for hopefully have a really good loss.
Anyways enough about that.
Why is it kids go through the terrible 2's and does it last long???? My daughter is only 20months and lately she is hitting and pinching , she is throwing tantrums and wont eat her food or drink her bottle (some of that food bit could be from the chemo) its not good to say but its driving me nuts especially over the last couple of weeks because usually she would go to day care 2 times a week but the week before chemo and the week after i dont put her in so she doesnt get sick and i need a break....... Thank god im getting one today even if it is to go and work.
I dont think some partners realize how hard it actually is although i do have to dmit my partner is really good with taylah but there are times when i need me time, i need that break especially after having her all day and when he comes home i just need some piece and quiet. Is there anything wrong with that? I dont think so...........
Anyways i better leave it at that will try and write again before i go but if not i will be back after next tuesday .

Lifes little ups n downs

Well its has been a really tough couple of months for me and my family i found out my little girl who is 20months old has a non cancerous tumour (nf1) behind her eye which is causing her eye to be lazy and sort of pop out a bit that was back in november or december. Well on Thursday we had to be at hospital at 7am for her to have a port inserted under her skin for when she goes through her chemo instead of having a drip every 3 weeks. As if it wasnt hard enough as it is they kept us waiting till 2:40 in the afternoon before she even got in for her op then she still had to have chemo after that . so by this time they hadnt started the chemo till like 5pm.To make matters worse they say in such a casual way oh u need to have her hooked up to the machine for 3 hours (usually only 1 and a half hours) 2 hours of it was because they needed to rehydrate her. By the time they finished the chemo it was like 9pm and we were stuffed then they drop the next bomb shell u have to stay in over night , just great i though she wont sleep because its not her own bed and how was my partner going to get home he needed to work in the morning. Bloody doctors. I know they were just looking out for her but to keep a little girl without food from midnight the night before and drink from 11am its cruel if we had private health insurance we would of been in and out in a flash well at least in on time, but who has the money these days to be able to afford private insurance.
Anyways thats the little bit of my rant for today .............. on the weight watchers front i havent been so good this week time will tell ,its weigh in day tomorrow might have to get on the treadmill in the morning.
Should be a good week this week though as im going camping and cant wait especially know i know its going to be cooler then it was going to be.will take my predometer with me and go walking and maybe even swimming try get in some exercise .
Thats all i have for now
