Yay!
Hi ya
Boy another full on day at work but on saying that I did acheive a lot so tomorrow won't be so rushed and all going well it will mean Denise won't have to work all weekend like she has been doing since we went live with the new payroll system!
I had weigh in today - and I almost had the 1 kilo loss that showed on the scales at home.... offical loss this week is 800gms taking my total loss to 37.6 kilos! Still a wee way away from my two mini goals (to be an 80's chick and to have reached my 40 kilo mark) so can't see me achieving that by next week but both Robyn (from the gym) and Barbara are just encouraging me to have reached them (and maybe a kilo or so more) by Christmas time! Now THAT IS ACHIEVABLE!!!! I got within 400gms of becoming an 80's chick the week before I found out that I was pregnant back in June so lets see if I can do it this time before I get pregnant again!
I rushed from weigh in to my 3rd Reiki session with Christene - she is brilliant and I always feel so "different" after the sessions. She had a strong vision this week of Steph and I at a wedding (even describing what we were wearing) and we were holding a baby to which I said "but was it our's" and yes it is... the baby (unsure of sex as it was in white) was about 4mths old so all exciting but I am not going to read too much into it at this stage. She also said that all my "systems" (i.e. thyroid glands etc) are coming right and I have a lot more energy that I did 3 weeks ago and yes that is true when I think of what a great week exercise wise I have had!
Home to a lovely cooked steak, new potatoes and a green salad. We have strawberries for dessert and what a shame no ice cream! LOL Well actually I don't mind too much as I love them either by themselves or just a sprinkle of icing sugar but Steph really wants some ice cream but tough!
Jude is still taking things slowly but had today off work as she did a full day yesterday and really over did things so spend today just sleeping and resting. She will do 1/2 day's from now on until the op and then after the op she will build up to full time hours again. She sees the specialist on Monday and I think she gets the date for the op then too but will wait and see.
We have got Stephan's rifle club "end of season" wind up do tomorrow night - smorgasboard at Petone Working Men's club. We went there last year and had a great time so hopefully tomorrow night will be just as good. Then on Sunday, we are going to Mum's for lunch - it was supposed to be a big family lunch as my brother, sister in law and nephew were coming over from Sydney for a week (the ones that lost the wee boy at 20 weeks) but unfortuatley Chris has had his leave cancelled due to work commitments so that is a shame but Steph and I said we will still come up (and my sister etc had lunch with Mum last Sunday) so that will be nice. So between all that , I will aim for the gym, do the housework and the grocery shopping and check up on Jude too!
Oh I arrived home today to all my gardens looking lovely as the guy we have got in doing the sanding/painting of the ceiling is a general handyman and when he said we could pass his name on to anyone who needs gardening/painting etc done I said he could do our gardens so has done them today and they look fantastic! Need some more bark for the ground cover though so will get that done next weekend.
Oh one more thing - I was cheeky and emailed my "new/old" boss today and asked if I could start my new job a week later than I had initally intended to as I really felt like I needed a break from work and just to chill out... I thought he might have actually said no but to my surprise he replied that he understands my need to have a break and yes it could be sometime before I do get a decent break once I start there so I am so looking forward to that week off! Am planning on doing some christmas shopping during that week so we are not rushing around each weekend doing it!
But right thats enough from me tonight - hope I haven't bored you silly.... and will catch ya all on Saturday at some stage or perhaps on Sunday evening after we are home from Mum's - will just depend on the free time I get.
Have a great Friday and an awesome weekend everyone!

Well done on ALL your recent achievements Karen! A week off, you really, really deserve so enjoy and good luck with the new job. I am so glad that you have stuck with this and are still losing weight - now just to have that little baby you want so much!

Nope, not boring! Sorry I didn't reply to your txt last night, was having a snooze and didn't get it till later, and didn't want to reply too late in case I woke you up, or *ahem* interrupted anything ;)!
Well done on your loss! It's really lovely to hear you sounding so positive, I love it!

Hi Karen
Can you let us know a little more about how Reiki works - I'm quite interested in alternative therapies - and it does interesting!
Great loss by the way!
