Blog 15: "Just keep swimming.... just keep swimming" (Dory)

Hey y'all..... what a week it has been! My husband and I celebrated his birthday in at midnight at the Royal Childrens Hospital... yay! 3 nights and four days in and out of the wonderful new hospital with our youngest with croup. To all those parents who never want to see the inside of the building for medical reasons- you will be impressed. Great staff, better facilities, a massive fish tanks and funnily enough GREAT SUSHI.

I think if it weren't for the fab sushi I probably would have gained this week! Eating at night time to stay awake and to fuel up when we were awake at one point for like 50 hours. So I am glad the extra lollies and barbeque shapes didn't do too much damage.

But enough said! The new scales (hubby's birthday present) now measures body fat percentage, water, bone mass and BMI. As soon as I figure out how to make it all go I will be able to report all the vitals as well as the actual kilos. Wise for someone like me who is now the heaviest female in the family but who is taller than some and shorter than others- so BMI is a much better number to observe!

Oh and even more exciting- even though I only lost a few hundred grams this week- it has meant that I am now less than 1 kilo away from being 89 kilos which has been a goal for months.... yay!

        Starting Weight   96.9 Kilos
        Last Week          91.2 Kilos
        This Week           90.8 Kilos

   Total Loss         6.1 Kilos

Watch this space! See you all next week! Last week till our next donation milestone- aaaah. This is where the motivation is!

XOXO Me.

P.s if you haven't already please like the "Kilos for Kids" facebook page because I am hoping to get some marketing happening to leverage some gym time- need to ramp up the exercise and I am hoping someone would love a case study!!! So "LIKE" it please.

Blog 14: Got my Grove Back!

Good Morning!!! Ok, now you may notice that my pearly piggy's are resting on a different set of scales.... I have upgraded to a WW set. It has afforded me an extra loss of a few hundred grams

but trust me the rest of it was literally walked/run off!

Ta Da!!!

Starting Weight: 96.9

Weight Last Week: 92.9

Current Weight: 91.2 

Total Weight loss to date: 5.7Kilos!

Quick reminder- I have been taking donations at the end of the month per kilo to donate to World Hope Australia for their Cambodia Centre for Women (rescuing women from the slavery of the sex industry)

Last year the first call for donation was at 4 kilos (thanks to those who have)

And at the end of Feb there will be another donation point. We have so far raised $350+ and I promise to keep working hard to lose weight if you promise to keep donating when I do!!!

(Donation details on earlier blogs- and will be re-posted at the end of the month)

So this week- back on the wagon :)

I have made fresh smoothies of banana and what ever else in the fruit bowl 

with a big juicy handful of spinach.

The T-rex enjoys his green banana lava too!

We have done our 6km walk literally rain or shine even when we were already exhausted. I have eaten sushimi and fresh food when I really wanted a pie. I have taken left over dinner to work for lunch instead of starving myself by skipping meals (and saving some money too!). I have limited my soy-lattes to one every couple of days (another money saver) which has halved my soy milk intake. Up with the Water!  

I am doing these things because I want to succeed! And this time I will.... I think.

If you are reading this but have not liked my Kilo's for Kids facebook page please do that right now... I know my weightloss is now dependant on my stepping up the exercise so it would be awesome to get the "likes" up so I can approach some local trainers/gyms for official sponsor ship- 

Then the real work will have to begin! 

SO PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD FOR ME!

Catch ya next week!

XOXO 

Blog 13: Lucky for some!

Hello my faithful followers! Long time no see!

Firstly let me apologise for dissapearing for nearly two whole months! I really didn't think i would be missed until last week I got a message that said "where is your blog.... I have been waiting to donate.... where did you go???" to miss R.L you know who you are. And for everyone that was witness as my sisters suprise birthday party when we got a not so causal "speaking of something missing,.... where is your blog?? It was like my own personal biggest loser, I liked the updates and what?? Gone!" and MR D.D we ALL know who you are!!!

Thankyou to all who made a point of telling us that it was worthwhile and that you were still supporting us!!

Now... moment of truth which is what I had avoided all this time. Yup... a gain. But have no fear the 1.5 Kilo setback will not be an issue next week!

For those in the know... the pedi speaks volumes about the legitimacy of this photo! LOL

So just to recap.

Starting weight... 96.9

Lowest weight.... 91.4

Current weight..... 92.9

So... the goal for this week is to better my lowest weight

and knock off the xmas kilo!!!

Today I gathered the boys and walked to storytime and back (probably 6kms with the double decker pram) and then just finished a "girl talk" walk with my mum and friend of another 6km's.

I'm Back.... Baby.... I AM BACK!!!!

I am committed in 2012 to blog EVERY week. And maybe next month if I get enough encouragement I may start

posting before and after photos!

Leave a comment of encouragement..... go on!

Look forward to catching you all next monday!!

XOXOXO
