Excuses excuses

I still make plenty of them....
BUT alas I try to JFDI!!

No one is perfect, and GOD I am the last to say I am, gee I ate a whole packet of Cheese and Bacon balls last night, but it is funny when trying to change ones own thought process, these days when people talk about their own efforts in weight loss, I just sit and nod and smile, because all you hear is excuses. And how amazing it is that we BELIEVE these as truths!!

I love this, someone posted it on the FB page of 12wbt....

Cheers xx

Happy Birthday to Me

Well I am now well and truly in to my 40's. Yep I was 42 on Saturday. And what a lovely day I had. I went into the city with 9 of my most favourite people. 7 wonderful friends, my sister and mummy! I was so appreciative that they would want to spend so much money to eat yummy foodwith ME! The weather was absolutely miserable. BUT it didn't matter I was so happy. I felt confident, beautiful and loved :)

After a beautifully decadent lunch at The Windsor, for High Tea I went out to our favourite mexican with my family for more delicious food. Here is my wonderful sister Kim and I before we had eaten all those delicious pastries and cakes.

Funnily enough that weekend of over indulgence didn't hamper my weight loss of 1 kg this week. That takes me to under 65 kg. Yipeeee. I am also less concerned about BMI now (which is 25.6, so close to healthy), because as it states on the Government better health website, it cannot differentiate between body fat and muscle mass. Still getting regular comments that I am fading away, which is not entirely true, but hey who am I to argue?

Ok best get back to what I was meant to be doing...

GDay

Hey there...
Week 6 of 12wbt this week.
I have lost a total of 3.2 kg (4.6 %), and improved my fitness test on all aspects.
I have booked flights to Sydney for the finale party. I was very brave and went with Tiger, eek..
Dawning on me more and more that you pretty much have to say no to food more often than not. Because there is always an outing, or an arvo tea, or a muffin in the shop or a packet of chips at work etc! So unless you are going to train like a bastard, you have to say NO!!

Feeling good about things though..Loving comments still. One of the creche carers told me  I Iook HOT, LOL. And my brother was a bit shocked I think, he said I looked almost anorexic. Which is far from true, sheesh still chasing that healthy BMI.  Whilst I appreciate and love the comments, I still at times don't feel worthy. But I am trying to, because I do notice things sometimes that make me accept that I am MUCH smaller. Like when I do sit ups I love how my legs look!

Family all good. Hubby did Around the Bay in a day bike ride yesterday, crazy man, I will never be able to keep up with his fitness.  Harry has started tutoring today to help him with his reading. He is very keen for this, which is great. Emmy is her usual sweet, little Miss. The kids and I are loving TaeKwonDo. It is much harder than I ever imagined!

Ok I am sleepy, did a night duty Saturday night, (where there was an abundance of delicious Tuna dip!!)
so off to bed I should go. After I tidy up and get shit ready for tomorrow, which will end up being another hour I suppose....YAWN

Can't be bothered...

....giving you a super funny or smart or detailed update.  Or doing the latest blog challenge (soon!).
Sorry but I am just icing my very sore heel after finishing a late shift at the hospital. I have done Kickboxing 5 days in a row and topped off with being on it for 8 hours straight it is killing me. Can barely walk on it :(

I am being pretty good with my diet, sticking to 1200 most days. I have had some wine here and there and handful of chips here and there too. Whilst I recognise the value and benefit of eating "clean", 100% clean is not for me. I enjoy the naughty things in life, I just realise I CAN'T have them several times a week. In saying that I am super conscious of what I am eating and making many great choices and saying NO a LOT...(there was white mud cake at work, and there is fried rice in the fridge. I could go either of them, but NO! I did have a small glass of wine. Lets just say it is a night cap.

I have lost 3 kilos since I first weighed myself for this challenge, which I can't remember when that was, but I think it was the week before kickoff? So at the end of September last year I weighed 92.9 kilos (which I round up to 93 cause it's easier). I am now 66.6.. Yipee. I am so close to a healthy BMI that I can smell it. It is so close but also seems so far away. 63.2 kilos will  put me in a healthy BMI and also the top of my healthy weight range. God my lowest range is 51 kg. I would have to eat sweet FA!!!
Anyway i am more than happy with how I am going, how I look and feel.

Night xx
