Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!





It's just a quick post from me, I have had an army of people at my house for the last 10 days, and it has been fantastic, but I am completely exhasted!

I haven't given a thought to WW, but I also haven't been silly, and I'm delighted to be sporting a great loss over christmas, and I am hopefull that it will still be there when I go to my meeting on Saturday. Either way, 2010 will see a trim little RaeRae before we start trying for another child. Hopefully next NYE I'll be sharing pregnancy news!

Have a wonderful last day of 2010!

On the mend :)



I'm finally feeling a bit more alive, so am pulling myself back onto the wagon, and plan to be on track for my 50's challenge, I've only go to get 0.2 off in the next two weeks to be on track. That is achievable, even with Christmas looming!

I'm still very sore and exhausted from surgery on Wednesday, but my ankle has settled enough to let me off the crutches (still painful, but I can walk straight on it, which is what I need to do for my hips), so I am happy about that at least. Unfortunately the surgery didn't go as well as hoped, but I've had my few days moping about that, and I'm just going to keep on going now. :)

My aims this week are:

combat negative thoughts - whenever I catch myself getting negative or down, write it down and turn it to a positive.
No exercise - need to heal
Therefore, I need to be perfect with my tracking.

Well we have our church Christmas event on this afternoon, and I singing in the choir (hopefully, providing I can stand that long) and then face painting the kiddlywinks. So I should get myself on the move!

I hope you are all enjoying beautiful summer weather,
Rae :)

It's been one of those weeks...


Well I can't say I'm the happiest of chookens. It's been a shocker of a week. I'm back on crutches, because Duane accidentally knocked a large heavy box onto my ankle, which I then hobbled around one, and subsequently put my hips out very shortly after. Then on Saturday, my gorgeous 3yr old cat Sora sickened and died overnight, we think she may have been bitten by a spider or something, we have no other explanation. Then a lovely lady from church that I have know for years, has become a widow with 4 young children, when her husband died of a heart attack on Sunday at the age of 38. So we are ALL cut up about that. Throw in a shop audit on Thursday, and surgery tomorrow, and I'm well beyond stressed and grumpy and teary, into the world of just plain BLURGH.

*big breath* Sorry about the rant. It's been an awful week. I didn't get to WI on Saturday, as I was bawling my eyes out as the cat was buried. I think I may have put on about 0.5kg, (also TTOM - just for laughs) but I am just going to leave it blank, and record my weight on Saturday. At least with surgery tomorrow I am not allowed to eat anything all day, maybe that will shrink my appetite back to more sensible proportions!

I have a healthy BMI!! WOOT! WWGW of 65kgs acheived Sept 2009.

On the way to the 50's...
