It is what it is

Today was ok!!

Today was ok.. Went to a big meeting at work and managed to stay away from the scones with cream and jam... These would normally be my staple foods.

Had a couple of people that commented on how much weight I have lost - most people I have not seen since this time last year, which was a nice feeling and they were all encouraging. It was still a bit embarrassing because you kind of think that you have skated by for the last few years without anyone noticing... But how do they notice 140kgs plus???

Anyway I am really tired tonight - mentally stuffed up so I am going to call it an early night and go and attempt to read a book or something.

Hope all are well!!

Got up early to go for a swim in the pool.. Who would have thought that after we had a 37 degree day here yesterday that the water would be so cold and that today we are heading for a 22 degree day with rain, wind the whole works...

Got a big meeting at work today which will be interesting with all the GM's and VP's. Looking forward to that..

It seems like so long

It seems lie so long since I have blogged and I think that it will remain the secret to my success.. After all it is all about trakcing and letting your feelings out there right??

Today, Melbourne Cup day... I lost my money on the horses ($6 - nothing to cry over), snacked WAAAYYY to much and got my butt kicked at work however I still come home and enjoyed an evening swim with my dear husband and daughter.. Did a few laps - but not too many.. Mostly played and raced with hubby and watched daughter play.. Thankfully though it was probably just enough point to wash away the effects of todays blow out with points.

I have been back at WW for a couple of weeks now and so far have lost about 3kgs this time around - So since the beginning of the year I have lost a total of 10kgs - give or take 100gms..

Not a lot I know but they say that people are gaining weight at about 2kgs a year so I can proudly say that I have lost 5 peoples gain.....

Still a lot of work to go and momentum to gain but I will get there...

Well I have been a couple of weeks back on TF's and the results are going well... Now able to weigh in on the Wii fit again and I have won the first challenge that Paul has set me. So next weekend he is off to buy my Wii Active... Cant wait!!! My own personal trainer in a box.

Since I started blogging earlier this year I have lost a grand total of 7.8kgs. Not a great deal in the whole scheme of things but a pretty decent start since I had a fair amount of time off in the middle when we moved house and all.

Anyway, housework is calling or the Wii fit???? tough call... There i always tomorrow for house work before I go back to work for the week. !!!

heading off to Parramatta on Monday for some broker training.... Hope this is a good thing.

Well back on the band wagon again.... Paul and I have made a bet with each other, whoever can loose the most weight over the next 3 months gets the first iPhone Touch in the house.. I am pretty sure that he just wants to buy me one..

Our wedding anniversary tomorrow.... 7 years..

We have been doing plenty of bits and pieces around the house over the weekend. In fact I think this is one of the firsl times that we have sat down for more than 1/2 an hour all weekend...

Well welcome back to my blogging and new bandwagon....

Well I had a weigh in this afternoon and I was shocked to see a 3.6kg loss!!!

Happy Happy Days..

The week before I had put on 1 kg! I cheated. We travelled to a wedding (see picture) and I cheated... Nothing more to say about that really!!

A great result this week though

It has taken me some time but I have finally worked out my before and after photo's.
i have had a pretty good eating day but strayed a little for lunch and had sushi and a juice from the juice bar. I know, I know it is all naughty but I was craving sushi and I am not willing to deny myself all life's simple pleasures.

Tonight I have packed Sam's lunch for the first time for Kindergarten tomorrow. There will be tears but the truth is I am so excited about our little girl finally going to school. i just can't wait..

Anyhow, Hi to all of those who have come to read my blog from the TF forums. I hope my journey inspires you as I go along.

Happy Days ahead!!

Today is Australia Day! A day to celebrate what we are as a country and I think that the common consensus around my house is that our country is an economic mess. I guess that this is what we get when we have had to rely on the American economy & then we get screwed when they write NINJA loans...

But anyway enough of being bitter. The plus side is that we still have jobs and businesses to go to when so many more will not. Retail will use this as an excuse to sack under performing staff as will most sectors of business. Mining will suffer and that means that the Hunter Valley will suffer..Very glass half empty.

We have been away for a few days and some really positive things have come of that. We got to see a few family and friends that we have not seen for some time which was great and we also got to celebrate with Kelly & Josh as they got married. My Kelly looked so stunning.

2 more sleeps and Samantha is starting Kindergarten. I can not believe that she is almost 5 years old. It only seems like yesterday that she was born and now we are getting her ready for school. There will be tears when we take her to school on Wednesday.

Considering we have been travelling i think I did OK with TF. I don't think that I would have lost any weight but probably not gained either. Will go for a weigh in on Wednesday to see how things have gone!.

Oh and we got approval for the purchase of our house about half an hour before we walked out the door on Wednesday last week!!! The Morgan family is on the move again..

What should I do today? I have been off work for just under 4 weeks now and I am starting to go batty. You can only read so many books and watch so many movies.

We are trying so hard to save money with the purchase of "our house". So what we are allowing ourselves to do very little. The boys are going to have a game of golf and I think that Sam & I might go to lollipop play land so that she can get rid of some excess energy plus we need to get some grocery shopping done as we are going through lots and lots of salad stuff at the moment.

Nothing all that exciting planned for today at all.

The day turned out to be just that, another day!! But I ate well and did not cheat on TF and all is well that ends well.

Going to watch Pineapple Express now to get a few laughs in before the day is over

This afternoon, because it was such a hot day we decided to take the kids to the beach for a while. I have always been a massive fan of the water, but today was different. I think that every person on that beach was watching my every move, like I was some kind of beached whale.

I am sure that I am wrong but I guess for the first time I was aware of ME!

I have never been one to care what other people think of me as far as my size goes. I have always figured that they either accept it or go to hell. I dress appropriately for my size, I don't go showing off bits that should remain covered. Why was today different?

Maybe it was because Paul was over in the rock pools taking photos and not there by my side as my protector, or maybe it was just that because I am trying to do something about this that I am more aware of the perception of fat girls.

Regardless of that, I had my first weigh in this morning and I was astounded that I had not put all the weight back on that I started with 12 months ago.

Still a little bit edgy about blogging my actual weight but I figure that one day that I will only be embarrassed that I allowed myself to be this size and that I never did anything about it before and not necessarily about the numbers.

Can I get it under control and what will I look like a couple of dress sizes small... I don't know. I have been this size for the last 9 years at the very least. I did drop 1 dress size for a few months last year but old habits kicked into play and I was back where I started in no time.

This time is different. I have a new found confidence and want to do this so that my family is proud of me and so that they are also healthy and happy.

Until next time

Today I started the Tony Ferguson weight loss program. I decided to do this for many reason. Some of them are selfish reason and some are health reasons & some are to keep my family happy & healthy.

Paul & I have often spoke about me losing weight but the more he pushes me the more weight I seem to put on. I made a decision this morning that this has to be about me and not what others want from me.

I have tried Tony Ferguson before but stopped after about a week because it made me sick. But this time I have to get through that because it just might be a life saver!!

I am starting this journey at a weight that I am not yet willing to disclose (still a bit sensitive with that) but I will keep you up to date with the progress as it comes to light.

Anyhow I guess that is it for today....

Have a good one.
