Take a Look See...

Checked out my weight loss ticket recently? See how the number's are close to evening out?? A few kilos time and I will have lost over half my excess body weight! It'll be good to be on the other side of those numbers!!
This morning is sat on 96.8 kilos on scales... I've lost almost a kilo in 3 days. Gotta love the exercise!
On Friday, it will be my 6 months banded. I'm going to do something special for myself to celebrate. I'm very excited!! If I can try and lose 1.3 kilos by Friday, I would have lost half of excess weight in 6 months..... 1.3 might be a little much... I'll work hard and see what happens...
6 month banding review is on the 18th September. I was planning to have lost the 50% by then. I can see that as being reality!!! In order though for me to be under, I need to be 93.5 as their scales are 2 kilos heavier. 3.3 kilos in 2 weeks..... hmmm.... I'll see.

Have a super Sunday

Stormy Saturday!!!

I can't believe it! I actually woke up this morning and braved the crazy weather and went to the gym. I did wake up late, and as a result was only able to do 45 mins (they close early on weekends). But hey, at least I did it, right!
Tomorrow is a big day. Father's Day of course, but more so I am going to Sydney to see my relatives I haven't seen since before my banding surgery- some for over a year. Crazy! They have a catered lunch for my Aunty's 60th Birthday. So I am not sure what to do, its meats and salads. Me and those two foods aren't friends. I think I will take something else just in case. The worst possible thing would be for me to have a PB there. I'll have enough eyes on me at the table.
My lappy is being a complete bitch at the moment. I have no internet so using the old school home one. I am getting all stressed and panic striken.
That's all for now. I'm gonna try de-stress and do some tafe work.

Update..... lappy now working... but its telling me I'm offline.... must be pmsing....

That's Right- Uh huh!

I did it!
I woke up this morning and thought "mmmm...maybe I'll just do treadmill at home" and went back to sleep. An hour later I woke up, got on scales and decided to take hold. No more excuses Bridget Parker. You gotta do it. So I didn't think about it anymore. I got in car and went to the gym.
I did:
20 mins treadmill
20 mins bike
20 mins elliptical trainer

1 hour guys!! Woo!

Tonight everyone at home is getting takeaway. Usually I just follow the trend and get it to. Decided not too. I'm not going to ruin my hardwork today on it. I'm worth more.

Daaaaamn!

Go home from work in a pretty good mood- only to find that after almost 6 months I get the bill from the anaethesist. I thought I'd gotten away with not having to pay. So I gotta cough up like $226. Great.
I'm currently 97.8 on the scales. Pretty happy with that. I still get scared everytime I hop on that it will be over 100. That was a tough cookie to break!
Since I am not currently suffering any sickness I WILL be going to the gym tomorrow. Just a light one to start off since its been over 6 months off. 15 mins treadmill, 15 mins bike, 15 mins elliptical trainer.
Thats all tonight... will post when I get back from gym. I am totally going. No excuses. Sami has really helped me kick my butt into gear!

Not Happening

So yeah.... no date.
After finding out a little more about him I've decided he isn't right for me.
He is suffering depression at the moment. I CANNOT deal with that. I have just myself gotten outta a really bad time mentally and I will not let myself get dragged down by someone else's negativity.
I've realised now though what I want in a man. I want someone who makes me laugh. If you can't make me laugh don't bother because its the most important thing to make. I want someone who is positive, outgoing and confident. I know that I am super shy with guys so someone who is outgoing and confident will make me feel more at ease in the beginning. I want someone who is deep. Someone who I can have super serious conversations with- the ones that time stops for and you get this buzz from when you are listening to them talking so passionately. I want someone older than me. Because I think I'm pretty mature for my 21 years old age. Guys my age don't get me. I want a man.
Seems like a lot of wants. Seems very very picky. But I don't want a lotta "maybes" along the way.
Loving facebook at the moment... there is an application I am addicted to called "Social Me". You look at a photo of someone and "tag it" eg :sweet, cute. I've gotten some cool responses on my photo. My fave happened tonight though. Some random dude who I will never meet, never have a conversation with tagged me as "PROUD". I don't really need to say this to any of you.... I think you know that it was a special moment for me. And without him knowing he made me stop, think, appreciate and smile. Because yes, I am proud.

Thought I'd give you a food diary.
B- cup of tea
S- three cashews (busy day lol no time)
L- light strawberry yoghurt, 4 cruskits with spaghetti on (yummo!)
D- McCains Pizza
D- chocolate

Ok so night time were shitty choices. This is actually the most I've eaten in days. I am feeling a lot better now. That were arse lump in my throat is gone. I have no idea what is was. But I swear my body knows a weekend is coming and finds something to make me sick. So no one mention the "W" word to me. Lol.
Scales are 97.8 or something. I am trying not to focus on it though. It's just a number. It doesn't sum up the joy that I feel at my accomplishments in my self esteem and confidence in 6 months. Such a short time- such a huge impact!

Thats all tonight. Hope everyone is well and happy.

Ummm ok?

Hey guys,
Thanks for the comments.
Today I decided not to call the Dr, to see how I went with food today. I didn't really have any issues. Made sure I was chew chew chewing and such. I think it could be my tonsils.
I'm going to go down the path of "why does it always happen to me, I'm always sick". I'm just going to move on. I will go get some meds in a few days if it hasn't gone away.
I will take on board what everyone has said. I think the horrible lip thing was because I started to take vitamin c chewable tablets. Trying to do the right thing with that and I get plagued with unkissable lips! (Not that I've got anyone to kiss, I might soon though....have to wait and see what happens with a certain guy)
Had a great day at work. Mondays and Tuesdays are super relaxed. Wednesdays are my horror days that I dread. I have two children who won't leave my side and scream my ear drums off and cry. I almost got peed on last Wednesday....
I might forget to say it before the big day, so Myf, have a wonderful trip away. You deserve to have the best time. I am so proud of you and what you've accomplished in such a short space of time. I always appreciate the advice you give me. Can't wait to see piccys of your amazing trip when you get back!

Love to all,
