Karens Weight Loss Journal

Hi all

Didn't get a chance to update last night due to getting home, cooking new spuds for 14 people to take to BBQ dinner with us and then not getting home until about 10pm or so! And by that stage I was well and truely ready for bed! LOL

But I got a very pleasant surprise when I got on the scales this morning - a new all time low so I thought this is looking promising for a good result today so decided to go to weigh in on the way to work and just catch a slightly later train... so off I toddled to Barbaras's thinking that she "opens" at 7am for the regulars so am standing on the doorstep wondering why it is taking such a long time for her or Jim to answer the door and when Jim finally answered the door I had gotten him out of bed and Barbara was still in the shower as she doesn't "open" till 7.30am! Ooops! I was so embarassed and offered to come back after work but no they let me weigh in then and boy did I get a pleasant surprise - not only am I now offically an "80's" Chickee but I also reached the 40 kilo mark!!! Yeap I lost 1.7 kilos today taking my weight to 88.9 kilos and total loss is now 40.3 kilos!!! I am still on cloud nine over 13 hrs later!!! LOL And as Barbara said to me "it was worth her rushing out of the shower etc for such an excellent result"! So what can I say but bring on the 70's and the 50 kilo mark!!! LOL

So off to work I go smiling like the cat who got the mouse... and had a fairly cruisey day today organising and do my filing and checking the last reports before we ran the payroll.

Home, then I popped up to Jude's to deliver our Dept's Christmas present to her and to see her Mum and Dad, then on the way home I stopped and got us Fish and Chips for tea! First time we have had them for about 2mths at least and I tried a different shop and boy the crumbed fillet we had was mouth watering delicious and the chips were pretty damn good too so I think we will be going back there next time we decide to have them.

Oh whilst out at lunch time I decided to treat myself for reaching the 40 kilo mark and stopped in at Ballentynes and after trying on so many clothes (just cause I could) I got myself a lovely black tulle skirt and lovely white, pink and green to - the top is really hard to describe but I am planning on wearing the outfit on Christmas Day so will ensure I get a photo taken of me and will then post it as soon as I can.

Right I still have dishes to do from a couple nights ago - yes I know I am so slack at those at times when the dishwasher does the majority of the stuff for us! And then I have washing to fold etc as well so best I get a move on as I do want an early night tonight as I am shattered.

I will be posting again before Christmas Day; probably on Christmas Eve so will save my christmas greetings to then... Night all!
