Yay I reached my goal weight!!!

OMG I just realised that I have reached my 1 month goal even before the goal date

This morning I weighed 85.1kgs YEeeeeee Haaaa!!!

I am stoked!!!!

Start 12th September 2011
One month/12th October
Total 4 kilos - 85.6kgs
I want to stop feeling bloated & feel less breathless Yes I feel less bloated & definately less breathless
I want to feel healthier, stronger & fitter Yes I feel healthier, stronger & fitter definately! I want to get rid of my unhealthy eating habits Yes, didn't realise how much I had improved until I seen those chokky fudge things on the menu at McDonalds yesterday.I would treat myself to these just aboout every 2 or 3 days for afternoon tea or dessert. Haven't looked at them for a month.I want to feel more confident Nailed this one already, improving more each day
I want people to stop and look at me & say 'have you had your hair done?' just because they know I look good but they just don't know why HAHA Haha this is very funny......people say things like...your'e glowing today...your'e hair is so shiny....That shirt is really nice is it new haha NO I 've been wearing it at least twice per week and you see me everyday ....Maybe they are just noticing that I work in the building ...hmmm

Do you know what else though?
I done my Seek and Destroy Cardio Workout DVD yesterday and felt like I could have done more
THEN this morning I went for a walk..hills and all and when I returned home I felt like I could have done much more. Don't even feel sore.

I decided now that I need to STEP IT UP if I am going to lose more.

fell off'a tha wagon today

Well, I kinda fell off'a tha wagon today. Would you like to know what helped me fall?

(hubby is just behind me on the lounge shhhhh......
Ok here 'Tis

Had to go into work early so because that was out of routine I wasn't sure when I was going to see Maccas again for the rest of the day so yeah, 1 x tall ice coffee........with a caramel slice hehe

Then off to work to start at 7am.

Ok still kinda on track...who am I kidding??

Heading for an early lunch to feed 6 hungry kids and thought I would choose the chips and gravy option cause why??
My excuse ? 'cause it was an old style cafe that wouldn't sell anything but greasy food, right?
OMG thats a beauty HAHA
I could have just asked for a salad or sandwich, couldn't I?

Ok off we go back to 'The cottage' to do some arts and crafts with the kids.no wait kids are sceaming at me... BUT, Vicki u promised us an icecream at Maccas.
Oh Boy !!!

After a stop over for icecream cone, we then went back to 'The Cottage' to do arts and crafts.

Cool blew my diet and also didn't feel like doing my exercises last night or this morning because I only finished work at 11.30pm last night so didnt get much sleep did I.

Anyway after a visit from the Boss about reports that need to be in b friday, I left my 8 hr job to continue on to put in another 3 hrs trying to do my report, which obviously called for a bit of sustagen in the form of another iced coffee and caramel slice.

Oh geez!!!

I still have the chance to be good, RIGHT?

What the hell am I doing here!!! Far Out ! You know what I did then, went to buy some healthy alternatives at the local supermarket but came out with chocolate sultanas hidden in the shopping basket.

and YES I ATE THEM whilst I was making my healthy pizza.

What can I say I seriously should know better and am feeling pretty crappy about myself,
how will I redeem myself.

NOW, I 'm off to bed to see if I can get a good night sleep so I won't feel damn lazy tomorrow...

Yeck let me think........mmmmmmm

Think I'll mix it up a bit

What gear do I need??????

• Training shoes......DONE got myself a new pair a month ago yay me!!
• Singlets and shirts- NEED to buy more long ones - well I am tall so I find I prefer something to come down at least over half of my butt (at this stage anyway!) NOT EASY TO FIND IN EXERCISE GEAR!!
• 3/4 pants /tights etc- prob have enough- NO never have enough BUY MORE VICKI
• Sox- found some more sox after the house move...YAY
