How to get to "goal" in one easy step...

Funny story this week, I am "apparently" at goal again!!

As I am in the wheelchair still, and was having great dilemmas getting onto the scales and balancing, the lovely staff at my meeting pulled out the old scales and the wheelchair attachment to weigh me last week. So it went as follows:

1. wheel self onto scales and hold on to wheels so don't go zooming into a wall.

2. watch as an ugly number (actually, almost exactly my original start weight - YES, I used to weigh as much as me, the wheelchair and a full and heavy nappy bag combined... eeek!)

3. Hop out of wheelchair and watch as it and nappy bag (it lives on the bag of the wheelchair and I'd forgotten to take it off) get weighed.

4. show of my mathematically inclined brain when I look at the number and say "uummmm.. I don't thinks that's right, because that is a very big loss!"

5. wait around while the staff use the calculator and figure out that I lost:

5.5kilos!!

teheehee!!

Anyway, they decided we are writing it down and just going of that next week. So I think I'll be changing my "goal" to 62 or so (have updated the ticker to reflect that)...

Realistically though, I think I lost about 1.5 kilos this week (from the digital scales at home), so there was still a great loss in there!

Unfortunately I won't be able to make a meeting this week, as we are going to Sydney on Friday for a wedding (which of course is very exciting and totally worth missing WW for!! Plus i hope to see Donna too while I'm there, Xavier wants to meet you Donna!!! *grin* Will email you in just a sec...) and I haven't managed to find a way to another meeting. And I'm also sorry to say there has been fish and chips, plus an unusually large amount of chocolate this week, so I have some good balanced tracking I need to do!

So that was my funny story for the week! :D

Other than that, I've been really busy lately! Xavier had his immunizations on Monday and has been a little off, so needing extra attention, but otherwise we are all going well.

Definitely bed time now though... so will try and get back on here soon, otherwise watch the blogs for wedding photos soon!

Love, Rae :D

1kg first week loss!

Yep, 1kg while eating 26 points per day and no exercise!! WOOOT!!!

Having a lovely weekend, it's bright and sunny and we have really enjoyed having a good friend come visit!

BBL, Sunday is family day as it's the only day Duane has off!

A little more than i thought, but it's all good!

I went and joined up at WW again today, and weighed in at 72.5... however the top of my healthy weight range is now recorded as 66, so it's only 6.5 to go til I hit that! I can so do that!

Honestly, I'm so proud of myself for getting out the door this morning for an 8am meeting with a wheelchair and a baby... granted I fed him after all the joining up etc while listening to the talk... but still, we got there! I am so Lucky that I have someone to take me and hold and help me up on the scales etc... yay!

Anyway, onto the points for a little while, so I can get used to eating 26 points.... WOW that is heaps! I would love to go back to my lovely friend NoCount (oops, sorry CORE...) but I think i need to track for a while first, as i also want to balance food groups, and also have a record of what I have eaten so I can work out which are the foods that seem to effect Xavier more.

I am so excited about being back into it all, bring it on!!

Plus we went shopping afterwards, and let me tell you wheeling a wheelchair which has somewaht flat tyres is a VERY good workout! :D

Have a great weekend everyone!
Rae :)
