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
