Ehehe

Hallo!

Had my weigh in this morning, lost .9kg, which takes me to 77.6kg with a weight loss of 6.8kg. Been doing it for 12 weeks now, so I'm quite chuffed! Over the half way mark too, only have 5.6kg to lose to my current goal of 72kg, and 1.6kg until I've lost 10%! Very exciting.

Took my monthly measurements today too:

Bust: 103cm (total of 4cm gone from start date)

Waist: 92cm (total of 3cm gone from start date)

Hips: 113.5cm (total of 6.5cm gone from start date)

Arm: 34.5cm (total of 2cm gone from start date)

Thigh: 63.5cm (total of 6.5cm gone from start date)

So I'm glad I've also seen a change with my measurements since last month too! Gone out for walks with Mel for the last 3 mornings, and am still doing my pilates every second day. I took a couple of my favourite skirts in yesterday so I could wear them without them falling off me! Was definately a good feeling, and I can't wait to do it with more of them!

Thursday night dinner out with my friend from London was LOADS of fun. Met a couple of guys who are also from Wellington but been living here for 3 years/5 years, and they are lovely, and one of them lives not far from me so hopefully we will keep in touch and meet up for coffee at some stage! So thats me being a poser before going out, and me and Phil below that one! I don't go into the city much, and I love doing my makeup, looking pretty, wearing dresses and heels, so it was really good!

Dean's parents are coming over for a BBQ tonight, so some BBQ'd lamb chops with herbs, some chicken kebabs, salad, baby potatoes and maybe some nice rice!

Have a good weekend and keep up the good WW work girls (and maybe boys?) :)

Catching up with a friend!

I must admit, I am HUGELY excited for tomorrow night! A guy I know from back in Wellington, who then moved to London 4.5 years ago, will be in Brisbane tomorrow! So we are going to catch up and have a couple of drinks. They are going to go out to dinner afterwards, but I am going to have dinner beforehand seeing as dinner would end up being at about 9pm, I don't know where they want to go, and I am currently poor! But looking so forward to catching up with him, we had lots of good times back in Wellington!

I'm such a huge fan of Uncle Toby's Rolled Oats at the moment, make them up and put raspberries and blueberries with it, and a sprinking of brown sugar...4 points, super filling and so yummy!

I'm making the Weight Watchers "Slow cooker winter Pork Casserole" for dinner tonight. Really looking forward to it! Will post the recipe if it is any good :P

Eating this week is going good, gone over by 1 point a couple of times, my throat is really sore and I feel like I'm getting sick so I can't stop having cups of tea! Exercise is good this week! I am doing pilates every second day, have been doing some skipping, and today I am going to put on some dance music from the ipod and have a little boogie in the lounge! It's a nice sunny day too, so I may go out for a walk and put some more of my alteration flyers in letterboxes! (Trying to get some sewing alterations to do at home to earn a little bit extra money).

Weighed myself today, and am the same weight as I was on Saturday at WI, so I really need to get onto keeping into my points. Ugh! :)

New blog!

Right, so I just wrote a huge long blog and then accidentally deleted it! ARGH! So here I go again!

So, about me! I'm 23 years old, originally from Wellington, New Zealand, but now live in Brisbane, Australia. Have been here for 2.5 years now, moved over with my partner and his family. I've had an issue with my weight my whole life. When I left school at 16 I weighed 99 kgs, then by the end of my studying, a year later I had gotten down to 85 kgs, which I've put down to actually being happy with what I was doing and being around people that were genuine friends. When we moved to Brisbane, I think I weighed about 82 kgs, and tried the Celebrity Slim milkshakes...ugh! I think I was drinking those for just under 2 months, and got down to 78 kgs, but of course, as soon as I stopped I put the weight right back on!

I started Weight Watchers on the 9th January 2010 with my partners parents and his sister in law, which is really good, it's great motivation to go to weigh in's every week! So it's now been 11 weeks on the WW band-wagon, and I am actually really enjoying it! Haven't done any exercise while being on WW, just been keeping to my points and tracking, tracking, tracking! I have gone over my points a couple of times, but these things happen!
