Monday/Tuesday

Not much to report for the last 2 days. J mowed the lawns yesterday & I whipper snippered... or at least attempted to. J had to show me lots & lots & lots & constantly tell me to move my feet back or that I was holding it wrong etc etc.... anyways you get the point, but now at least our front yard is most definantly not a jungle.. Also my arms are so sore it reallly hurts to lift them at all & even sitting at the computer the pretty much non existent muscles in them start to spasm & my arms go all shaky. bit funny to watch lol. Also disn't realise how hard it would be to drive a car (with power steering) after the gardening was done.. hmmm maybe I should keep doing strength exercises etc for my arms so that the simple task of holding a whipper snipper doesn't kill me!!!

Today, I went to work.. 12 hrs of annoying boringness & I have to go back again tomorrow... unless I snap up the 15 mil from lotto tonight but we all know how likely that is lol!! well dinner is ready (fish & steamed vegies).. am making an effort to eat more fish these days plus it's low in points!!

So far i've managed to track EVERYTHING since Saturday morning so that's 4 days i'm pretty stoked with that. now if only I could kick my own butt & make me get active haha yeah right... maybe tomorrow when I don't have to get up early the next day....

Anzac Day Sunday

Not much to report for today or yesterday really.

I managed to save 1.5 points yesterday which is good because i'm thinking of going to the movies on Tuesday & as you will all discover I have a huge weakness for popcorn... specifically freshly cooked movie popcorn!!
I also did 30 min on my exercise bike which to be honest I really didn't feel like doing but I did it & i'm glad I did. I think maybe today i'll go walking instead.. maybe i'll even remember to strap on my pedometer & count my steps but that counts on me remembering (think dory... yes i'm a natural blue!! lol)
My footy tipping seems to have improved on the last few weeks where I only picked 1 winner both times.. so far this week i've won 3 games yippeeee!

Saturday!!!

Had Weigh in this morning & am down to 87.5 which was a loss of 500grams! i'll take that considering it wasn't till wednesday that I started to put my head on straight & be a good girl.

I have decided that I need to get back to tracking which I haven't really done for a while so i'm hoping this helps keep me more accountable. I bought myself a journal that I can write all my food/points/exercise in for the next 12 weeks & since I won the raffle at my meeting today I also got a new cookbook yippeeeee.

So today I got rid of lots of junk & boxes etc from our garage. We can fit one of the cars in there & still have more to get rid of so i'm super happy to be decluttering - did have an argument on the way to the rubbish dump (I broke the navman & then couldn't tell J what way to go) when I got to the rubbish dump the guy told me that they didn't take human remains & that we had to be nice to each other so J looked at jewellery with me at the shops & I bought him a video game & now we are all happy again lol!

Have to go look through the cookbook now & organise some food for the week stay safe & have fun!!

Day 3/4 - Thursday & Friday

Well, not a whole lot to report for Thursday... I finished work at 6am, I came home, I slept I got up, I went to work & I finished at 6am Friday morning. Needless to say there was noooooo motivation at all to do any exercise so I tried making better food choices for the day. Instead of yummy chicken mussaman curry for dinner I had a vegetable Tom Jeud soup & some plain chicken skewers both are yum but I knew that the curry would set me back a few days so decided that I would skip it.

I'm in that revolving door at the moment where I just keep going round & round. I broke though 90 a good couple of weeks ago & have slowly come down to 88 but it has been a struggle & I have done alot of hovering. I have to keep telling myself to break the mentality that now I am under 90 which was a goal for sooooo long that that is enough so I'm really really hoping to get into 87's by tomorrow morning just to help me break my cycle.

So now that I am awake & not working for the next 4 days & also not visitting theme parks (thank goodness) I will be spring cleaning my house. Can't decide if i'm early for this year or late from last year... First stop is weeding the garden, which Justin will then mow the lawn. Next stop Garage & taking all the old unused broken junk that accumulates to the dump so that we can fit one of the cars in there then it will be getting rid of those clothes that are too big (finaly a job I can like) I'm thinking that even if I don't feel like doing exercise today that this should count for it instead!

Day 2...

Well yesterday I actually did exercise. I tried grabbing an afternoon nap before heading off to work for night shift but Justin had other plans... like snoring... OMG! After a few swift kicks did nothing to alleviate the issue I decided to get up & do my leg magic dvd which also gave me a bit extra energy. whilst at work last night I also managed a couple of walks around the perimeter of the building so i'm hoping that every little bit will actually help.

On another note, bought a new tshirt yesterday, it was on sale marked down from $20 to $10. So I came home & said to Justin "look I saved $10" he rolled his eyes & said that excuse should never be valid but a quick poll of all the girls at work show that they think the same as me... so what's your take on that scenario? Do we actually save money or don't we considering that we probably wouldn't pay the whole $20 for the tshirt but would be willing to pay $10?

Hi & Welcome!!

Ok so a bit about me & my challenge.

No I am not going to colorado, rather I have a cream pair of colorado pants that I am just dying to wear again.. They are size 12 & suffice to say... I am not.

I don't have a time as to when I will fit them again however I am undertaking small challenges along the way to help me chip away at this goal. My current aim is to be 83kg by 2nd July which equates to 5kg lost averaging out at 500gm a week.

Now about me:

My name is Kelly-Louise (or Kel). I turn 27 in July this year which is not really a major milestone so am not really caring about this birthday. I live with my partner Justin & we'll have been together for 5 years in August. J has 4 kids from his first marriage & we have them during NSW school holidays so suffice to say life gets a bit hectic during this time. Otherwise it is just the 2 of us at home. I work shift work, play online computer games & generally just like to sloth around the house hence the increase in my waistline.... so hopefully my escapades on here will motivate me to get a bit more active & keep me honest.

P.s. I'll upload some pics later including my pants that I am just dying to wear again!
