Time to find healthy..

Been a while since I last updated. I have the flu, boo to that! I dislike not working, and had to rearrange several appointments because of this nasty bug. I always feel like I am letting the team down when I call in sick (which is rarely), but I just could not manage to comprehend life yesterday, let alone work around animals.

102.8kgs this morning, although I am not taking it seriously. I was 103.6kgs two days ago, and I tend to bounce my weight around when sick (even though o/h forces me to eat). Just seeing 102.8kgs makes me realize this is possible, I can actually get lower numbers. Exercise hasn't existed, I haven't had the time.. which I know is a very, very poor excuse. Food wise I've been good - I've had a full bag of crisps (or two...) this past week, which obviously isn't great for my salt intake. At the moment all I can taste is salt, fat, and strong flavors (mildly), so everything is getting salted for flavour and electrolytes. I made some 'bliss balls' (raw), and these are TOO YUMMY! Why have I not been introduced before??? I made some more today, added a bit of extra salt and boom - deliciousness!!! These are my new favorite snack - and they don't make me feel sick. Winner! I am excited to play around with the recipe (when I'm feeling better), but the basic one is just to yum!

Next week is full on, sick or not, I have a tonne of work that I cannot avoid or move. So I am sleeping as much as I can (I get horrible dreams/restless when I take medication) in effort to be better for next week. My 2nd degree burn is now at a point where I don't have to have it bandaged, and am desperately trying to get that to heal faster as well.

My partner showed me a before/after weight loss journey, and boy was she inspiring! It's hard to believe there is a skinny me under this fat suit.. some days I just don't believe she exists. Other days, I can hear her crying to get out.

I will be double digits by Christmas - that is my first goal. I don't care that I am taking longer than I should to get there, this is my journey, and I'm feeling great for it. I no longer flinch at the chance of chocolate/sugary sweets, this I am proud of!

over and out! x
 
Thanks TL! X

Whoops ... turns out life got in the way again!
Weight has gone up and down, in and out .. new goals reached, some skimped over...
As of this morning I am 100.1kgs. I WILL be double digits for Christmas - that is my goal. I am still not eating sugar, and I feel better and better for it. There were a few days I 'allowed' some sugar (EEK!), my gosh - were things really that sweet before?? I had some donuts - wow. Sugary deliciousness .. I had a couple but couldn't eat any more (they were small donut holes). I also had some wine (I drink once a year), and a few snacks.. I felt awful! Bloated, dehydrated, and the sugar cravings were insane. Back to reality now (it was nice to be able to enjoy our business outing and not stress too much - moderation was key!).

I upgraded my watch yesterday - vivofit to vivosmart HR. So fancy! Touch screen but narrow, monitors constant heart rate, picks up messages from my phone, etc.. very groovy! I haven't worn my vivofit for about 6 weeks as the band broke, and I forgot to order a new band for it (watch itself is okay), so I have been slack with my steps. I am keen to get back on target.

While I'm updating for myself, I have also been injured. I swear there is always something wrong!! Sugar gave me a crook stomach, but that's better now. My sciatica came back very badly, I was in a lot of pain (Still am). My physio helped, but it's still giving me grief. I also torn my meniscus (knee) mildly, which has been a pain to work through (literally!).. but I'm working on rehabbing it.

As of this morning I can't move my neck! For heavens sake ... I woke up in agony and unable to move. Took me half an hour to roll over, and another half hour to get up and find pain relief. I was stuck looking right for about 45 mins LOL! Currently relaxing with a hot water bottle on my neck and watching a movie ... can't do anything, so may as well enjoy my favorite movie (A Knights Tale) ;)

Peace out!
 
100.4kgs.. I was 101 a couple of days ago (I did eat a burger.. oops). Time to get serious - I need to prove to myself I can be double digits by Christmas... which is 2 days away. Eek!
Another hot hot hot day here.. 39 degrees C. Blah. And I have to be outside all day with the horses for the dentist... which is good timing as 2 of them need attention, but 1 is at high risk of colic. Great.
I went swimming with the littlest pony on Monday - that was good exercise for both of us, trudging through the water and swimming. No swimming for me this week (in the pool), been far too busy with work and life.
I have 3 days of potentially bad eating coming up - my partners birthday tomorrow, Christmas (breaky + dinner for our families), then more Christmas celebrations on boxing day .......... yikes! I'll be a whale by the end of it, might need to take the horsefloat to shift me home again. But I plan on being good - I'll make the better choices. Eat breakfast (fruit) before Christmas breakfast (BBQ big breakfast), and mum is making sure there is salad and healthy options for me.

Righto - off to battle the heat..
