New beginnings, new journey

I was visiting with a friend who had terminal cancer a few years ago and he said something that has stuck with me all this time. He said "everyone is terminal, I just know a little more about when"


I am a person of faith so I will say a prayer for yall
 
I'm sorry to hear about the bad news. I think getting out of town is a good thing this weekend. You and Wade are in my thoughts and if you're religious, my prayers too.


I think I'd go crazy if things took so long to come in the mail. I wonder why it takes so long there...
 
I wasn't good today. Had a shitty sleep, a long dragged out day at work, was SO tired when I got home. Ahh tomorrow will be my 8th day of work in a row- but then I have the weekend off. Just want it to finish!! Today much sugar and pizza was consumed, but I'm still maintaining an overall deficit and I'm confident I can have 6 perfect days for the rest of this week!! Hopefully I'll have scales by next week, and I'm hoping I'll weigh in at around 64-ish... We shall see...!
 
Brawny and Munch- thanks for your words and prayers, it really means a lot. And Success- I'm fully determined! Absolutely NOTHING is going to stop me from getting 6 awesome days before I go away!!


Really feeling the junk food today, feel a bit like death really. So bloated I looked like I was pregnant when I knocked off work! Really going to organise myself a bit better after holidays, going to have to properly cut out gluten and dairy again... Hopefully I'll have a permanent position in a department and can organise a proper game plan. I've thought about it and decided I'm going to stay on here during my holidays- There's no reason for me not to, and if I can't lose weight while I'm relaxing and don't have work stress/ annoying people stress going on, then I'm a lost cause! So yea- will still be posting and listing food etc!! And weighing in, as I should have scales that work by then (hopefully). Will set a goal for the end of the month when I know how much I weigh.

AHello my lovely :)

I'm sorry i have been neglecting you :( and i'm soooo sorry to hear your sad news about Wade. Sending you all lots of love and hugs.

Well done you on carrying on posting while you are away. That's pretty darn impressive!!!
 
Thanks sweetness... I'm so so glad I have holidays coming up, I fully plan on straightening out my head and trying to figure out what to do this year... Job wise, with Wade, even trying to organise a dailiy routine. I'm actually starting to feel pretty overwhelmed with everything, I'm so tired all the time I feel like I can't handle even the small things life throws at me. Doesn't help that today is my first day off in forever, so last night I stayed up a couple hours later than usual... Only to sleep an extra half hour after my alarm usually goes off!! So had almost 2 hours LESS sleep than I have when I'm working!! At least I'm home doing nothing!!!


Went for a walk this morning, was fully intending to just say fuck it and not go after spending 15 minutes looking for my ipod without success, and discovering that I'd broken my back up sunnies (I broke my fave pair last week!!) I went sunnie-less and music-less and though it made it a little less enjoyable, I'm glad I went! Fully planning on just veg-ing out the rest of the day... so sleepy...
 
AHeya sweetie :)

What do you want to do job wise? I hope you manage to get everything sorted so life is calmer for you my lovely :) I think your holiday will really help, a while away is great therapy.

Glad you still went for your walk :hurray: well done! Hope you had a lovely restful day. Sending you big squishy hugs.
Oh, how are your crazy babies getting on?
 
So definitely not the healthiest of weekends, had pretty food-filled day yesterday and went WELL over maintenance, and today we went on a bit of a road trip and I ate a heap of hot cross buns lol, think I ended today about even. I have 3 full days left, going to have 3 perfect days... and then I go home! Yay!!


Kate- Job wise, I really want ANYTHING. I just need to get out of where I am now, I can't stand it. The managers are awful, the place is incredibly short staffed, there is so much bitching and gossiping going on... I'm pretty sure I've mentioned how much I hate living in a small town, working for a large company makes it so much worse!! Really can't stand it. Plus there's so much money to be made up here, because it's such a remote place and it's such a harsh environment employers pay a lot more. It doesn't make sense that I'm still working for the same amount I could be getting back home!


Our babies are going well, plenty of craziness... Waking me up a lot during the night!! Haha but they are so cute I just forgive them anyway :p


I have 2 days left of work and then I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeee- so not fair, my husband is already on holidays!
 
AHeya sweetie :)

I really didn't realise how bad it was at work for you :( so sorry. Hopefully when you get back from your holiday newly recharged you can sort yourself with something you enjoy doing.

No wonder you are tired all the time, with stressy work and it's like you have new born babies with your kitties keeping you awake at night!!
 
Finally managed a good day again today!! YAY!! Lol.

:(


Give Wade my best, Lucy. You're such a great person for being there for him during these tough moments. I know how difficult it is watching someone you care for deal with cancer and breaking down from all the stress and misery it causes. It's so unfair and you just keep asking yourself, 'Why? Why did this happen to such a wonderful person in my life?'.


If only there were someone that could answer that question. If only.


Hang in there, Lucy. You're a strong and wonderful person.


Wishing you the best and sending you some good gives :)
 
Thanks Frogged, your support means a lot. It really is an awful thing to watch someone else go through.


Well guys, I haven't been that good today. Honestly though, sorry if this is TMI but I haven't really been able to go to the bathroom since Saturday when I ate all that junk food.. It's awful, I'm so bloated it's insane!! I know eating more shitty food probably wasn't the greatest idea, but I've been having plenty of fiber and water... Didn't go over calories, will be going for a walk in an hour or so so I'll break even today. Pretty sure our air con has shat itself too, it's horrible!!! It's like 37 degrees today, and going to be up around 40 tomorrow!! We are going away soon anyway but Wade has to put up with it, so do our poor kitties!!!!


I PROMISE tomorrow I will have a 1000 cal deficit, and the scale is coming tomorrow too... I just checked the tracking thing and it said Arrived at sorting location. So... will be able to weigh myself Thu morning, just before I leave!
 
Well guys, it's my first official day of holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

I promised you I would be good and stay on here during my hols too... Well, it's currently 8am, I've done a 45min low impact strength circuit and a 40min walk :hurray: Also just eaten my usual flavoured PB on toast for brekki and had a row of raw dark chocolate just then. So today is off to an awesome start!! Just waiting for the postie now- scales, FINALLY!!! Also waiting for hair products so I can shower and wash my hair lol... Hurry up postie man!! Ahhh, debating whether I want to just bust open the scales and pounce on them straight away or be sane and wait until tomorrow when I haven't eaten... and had over a liter of fluid to drink. It won't be accurate otherwise lol. But I DO wanna know, ahhhhh. It's been so long!!!


NO, I'll be normal and sane I promise... wait until tomorrow. We have to be at the airport at 8am so I'll post really early in the morning what I weigh. I have a day of packing and cleaning ahead of me today!! Might get onto it!!!!!
 
Todays intake:

Breakfast: 2 pieces of toast with choc peanut butter

Snack: Row of raw dark chocolate (post workout)

Snack: Green cacao bar

Lunch: Piece of toast with 2 beef chevups (skinless sausages) and an egg

Dinner: Smoothie with 2 bananas, cocoa powder, cinnamon, spinach (haven't had this yet, will later)


Exercise:

45 min workout (warm up, strength circuit, stretching), 40 min walk


Total deficit for the day: 999cals


I'm pretty much all packed and ready to go... I'm taking a heap of Larabars with me so I can keep some healthy snacks on hand, also my resistance bands so I can still work out without equipment. Haven't packed exercise clothes yet because I plan on going for an early morning walk tomorrow before we fly out. So yea, trying to set myself up for a good week even though I'll be away!! Feeling confident I can pull it off, also I'll be writing in here every day too so you'll be updated on how I'm going lol. I'm planning on having a loss this week!!


I am feeling a lot better today, and even though I feel pretty huge right now I don't think I'll be above 65kg (going on the fact I actually managed to end on a deficit lol- technically I shouldn't be more than what I started on!!) My scales came, and actually a few other parcels did too so it was like Christmas!! Haha!! Eeeee weigh in tomorrow!!
 
Sorry I've been absent Luz! Glad to see your spirits are high and it's finally time for your vacation. I could so use one of those right now, but still have about four months till mine. I can't image having four crazy kitties. My Evie is trouble enough, especially at night! But I love her. I can't believe it took so long for those scales to arrive. That's seriously messed up!


Enjoy your vacation and hope all the working out goes well! :)
 
64.9kg today, and 29% body fat. So my goal is to get to 63kg by the 1st March! I need a deficit of 698cals every day to get there.
 
Ummmmm if you are at 29% body fat, it must all be in those gosh darn boobs of yours, cause it sure as heck doesn't appear to be anywhere else on your body!! ;)


Glad to see that your scales and sanity finally came in the mail! :D


So heartbreaking about Wade, a kidney transplant wouldn't help in this situation? You guys are both so strong, and you're an incredible friend. Sending lots of good wishes his way. :)

I hope you're enjoying your vacation, you definitely earned it!!
 
Sparked- they said surgery was an option but advised against it. Apparently it's incredibly high risk, if it's successful it would give him an extra 6 months to a year, but if unsuccessful he could lose both his kidneys and could severely cut short the few years he has. He decided against the surgery.


Well guys, arrived safe and sound at home (I hate flying, not sure I mentioned that!!) My mum and my brother met us at the airport and we stopped for coffee before the 2 hour drive home. It's so good to be here, it's been forever!! Just been hanging out with my brother, did a shop with him and my mum. Getting my hair done tomorrow, I'll be blonde again!! Can't wait!! Also shopping for a dress for my birthday tomorrow, and I think we are going to the local tavern tomorrow night for drinks after dinner. So tomorrow should be fun!!! It's my birthday on Saturday :biggrin: Hey did I mention that Wade bought me a really big snazzy breadmaker for my birthday!?? He gave it to me last night so I haven't had the chance to christen it yet. So excited!!!


Todays intake:

Breakfast: Gluten free chia roll with choc peanut butter

Snack: Choc chip brownie Larabar

Lunch (plane food): Cheese and herb scroll thing, pear and peaches cup, trail mix, coffee (I gave my husband the roll with butter and the 2 chocolates that came with it!)

Snack: 2 pieces raw coconut mylk chocolate, coffee

Dinner (haven't eaten it yet): Fish and chips, salad (I have 454cals left to eat for dinner, so going to have a huge plate of salad, grilled fish and a small handful of chips... so guesswork really)



Exercise:

40 min walk


Total deficit for the day: Approx 698, dinner will be a guess


EDIT: Had dinner, think it was a lot heavier than I was expecting... went for another 20min walk afterward though, I reckon I would've had more like a 500cal deficit today.
