Today, like many Saturdays recently, I've gone through the day on a bowl of cereal so I can enjoy a nice dinner and two glasses of wine with Boyfriend.
I had a big eating day yesterday where I had curry with the boys from work (using most of my weeklies), so wasn't really feeling so great this morning. That helps justify my actions, but I'm still judging me a little.
Meh.
I also hit the gym today and did a one hour belly dancing class, go me!

Hello
Hello,
Just me, checking in. Still here, still tracking, still losing (87.8kg on the scales this morning ... Boom).
Not a very good blogger of late but work is beginning to cool off a bit so I might get some time to get some thoughts out and I dunno, for the first time in a long time I feel like my life is ... good enough? I'm happy doing what I'm doing. I'm not creeping on FB wishing I had other people's lives/bodies/personalities. I'm just taking time to get to know myself a bit better perhaps.
Exercise is still an area of my life which I am not devoting enough time and energy to... And tomorrow is the dreaded Thursday. When I have to wake at 5.30am to see my PT.
I absolutely love my PT, she is adorable and SO excited about my progress. But the 5.30am starts kill me and by 3pm I'm a vegetable at work so sadly once these last four weeks are done I shall bid her farewell and spend my money elsewhere.
Saddest part of my day today? My wedding ring is currently being made so I had to give up my engagement ring for the rest of the week so they can make my wedding ring match perfectly. I feel so naked.
On that note, through a combination of weight loss and colder weather my engagement ring has become very loose and I am worried if I don't get it resized I am going to lose it or damage it. Eeeek.
Winter has set in and we have discovered not only is our house infested with slugs and mice, it is also really cold. I am beginning the house hunt... But I hate moving. I miss living in my own home. At least I can be grateful that our tenants are treating our home like it is their own and looking after it. I think we hit the tenant jackpot.

A happy farewell
This morning I saw 88.2kg pop up between my toes and I just have one thing to say:
Fare thee well obesity.
I have not enjoyed your company, but you will never be forgotten.
I will keep memories of you as a reminder of how far I have come and what the alternative looks like when it all just gets too hard sometimes.
If we're not moving forward, then we are moving back.
Hello "overweight" category. You've been a companion for most of my life, but I won't be staying for long this time.

Weigh in day...
Weigh in day today! I was sure I was going to stay the same or have a small gain but by some miracle I lost 300 grams which I am super happy with. I knew this week wouldn't be a big hitter thanks to two big weeks the last two weigh ins and a combination of some mad bloating and sunday baking (never again) so yeah. Pleased.
From time to time, everyone has an all in all rotten day at work. For me yesterday was one of those days. It really took it out of me, I even had a bit of a cry last night. No reason in particular, it's just a bit overwelming at times. Mostly in a good way but yeah.
anyways, I've started hitting the gym to do pilates classes as my personal trainer has found my lower back is massively weak, I'm actually really enjoying it. In the past I've always had an attitude that if exercise isn't super intense it doesn't count, that's a mindset I'm trying to change. Tomorrow is ANZAC day and bf and I are going for a long walk or bike ride which will hopefully involve coffee :)
Oh - today I sprinted to the bus, my ankle is healing like a bauss! I'm playing netball on Thursday, can't wait!!

Soooo....
Sooo...
This morning I saw 88.8kg on the scales, BF announced I was shrinking after noticing he could pull my shorts half a foot away from my stomach (they were really tight when I started) and I walked to get our morning coffee feeling kinda... slim. I'm a long way from actually being slim but I'm allowed to feel that way sometimes!
Today we went and cleaned up my brother's room for when he gets better and gets back to Uni (the reason for my extremely stressful Easter, I won't go into details but it is a not-so-great situation in my life right now).
After that BF and I sat down and nutted out a special treat for dinner (I struggle to use my propoints on weekends so I had 26 up my sleeve). We settled on a Weight Watchers cabonara recipe in the latest magazine along with a few glasses of Church Road winery Syrah that I picked up on my recent girls trip to the Hawkes Bay.
The pasta came out amazing, I was so glad because BF is a pasta fiend and always suffers when I'm on a "diet". This time is for life though so I am working hard to not miss out on anything :)
Result:
10pp. Can't argue.
Oh, and my physio cleared me to start running, play netball AAAANNNNDDD to start gently easing my ankle back into high heels. Oh how I've missed my little babies!
Here are three of them, so lonely without me!
Tomorrow morning I want to run/walk to the gym, do some weights then run/walk home. I'm so excited to get fit again! And it will be easier because despite my injury I have lost weight.
Ohhhh... I found these shoes for my wedding and I WANT THEM. Can't really justify the cost, but if I can get to the magical 78kg before wedding dress fitting they are MINE.
I want I want I want!
