Hi Everyone,
I have had a really busy week this week with easter on the way, I have been flat out with chocolate mould orders, so when I get a chance to get on the computer it has only been for work.
We have had a few hot days here, which I hate casue I am not a hot weather girl, I get a bit moody when it is too hot and I cannot cool down.
On Thursday I finally had my MRI scan for my back. The people at the MRI place in the Melbourne hospital lost my records and appointment as I was supposed to go on Wednesday, and I told them I was not very happy as I had an appointment with the specialist on the 26th and it take forever to get in with him, so if I don;t get the MRI scan in time for the results to get to him, that was going to be a big pain. So they put me in for 8pm on Thur night. When I got there there was no one there and the place was locked up and I had to ring to get it, but there was no waiting as they were waiting for me, so straight in and 30 mins later it was all over. I had an MRI scan when I was in primary school, so very young, and the tube they put you in felt so much bigger back then. I didn't think it would bother me, but when they first started sliding me inside I could feel my heart rate going up, and I told myself don't be silly sally, just calm down, so I closed my eyes and did some deep breathing and after a couple of mins I was fine. Must be the old age creeping up on me and the thought of laying in a coffin. lol Anyway that is finally over now just the wait to get in with the neosurgon again. I hope he is better this time and not such a rude *#&* again.
I have a couple of confessions to make aswell.
Last Sunday night we had some friend come over for dinner and we had a BBQ. I still made myself a cohens dinner while they had the yummy BBQ, but I did put half a shot of rum in a can of diet coke, but only drank 1/4 of the can and gave the rest to WH.
On Tues my husband and I went to Melb to pick up some ink for our printer and I was feeling good about my weightloss and we left just before my lunch time, so I told my husband that I would really like a small treat. So we stopped as Subway and got a roll. I did however make a healthy choice. I only got a 6" sub with chicken and salad, no sauce or cheese. I was actully proud of myself for choosing the healthy option and not caving to the temptions.
I was quite interested to see what my results for weight loss would then be for the week on Friday, as I did deviate a little. I would have been very annoyed if I didn't loose anything as I still choose the healthy option at subway and only a very small amount of rum. Because if they scales didn't go down after that small amount, what would I do when I finally reach my goal, would I have to never touch anything but cohens food forever. I know it was silly thinking, but it was my first deviation and I was nto sure what the results would be.
Anyho... I lost 2.1kg for the week. So a grand total of 16.4kg for 7wks.
Then last night we had a social gathering with our 4WD club at a pub for dinner. I did buy and not take my food. I order from the menu a 250g eye fillet with vegies only, no potato and no gravy. I only ate half the eye fillet, however there was a bit of butter or something on the veggies. I also had one glass of diet coke with half a shot of rum. I gave the rest of my steak and some of the vegies to my WH and daughter.
So we will see what the end of this week brings.
I also have to go out for dinner tomorrow for a friends birthday, not sure if I am going to buy from the menu, probably just meat and steamed vegies again, or if I will take something. It is just there is going to be some many people there that I don't know and I don't want to look silly sitting there with my home made salad. Not sure yet what I am going to do.
I will try and get in to read everyone diaries now and catch up as I have not been in for a little while. I hope everyone is well.
bbubbles21 thanks for the lovely comments. and OMG what a great effort you have made, what a fantastic number to loose. Congratulation on where you have gotten so far and good luck for the future, you are going to do great if you have already made it this far.
Yes I have a house keeper, only because I need one one due to a serious back problem I cannot do it myself. It took me ages to give into all my friend and family telling me to get one, because I was struggling so much with it. And it is so hard to take it easy when the house is a mess and I would over do it with my back and end up worse because of trying to keep a clean house. She is only here 3hrs once a week.
Esthee you are still doing great, you may end up catching with me again with the deviation I have had recently. How many deviations have you had? I am glad we have the same goals together
Hi Sam, thanks for popping in, yes I am am doing o.k weigh wise, not so good with my back and keeping up with running my business and being a stay at home mum. It is just very full on at the moment. but I will get there in the end, no need to complain to much, there are worse people out there with worse problems than mine. And I am on the way to fixing the back stuff. Well that is what I keep telling myself to try to keep positive.
I will be back later to do my weekly stats.
And wow what amazing results??? When I'm in Melbourne, I'll definitely meet you for some coffee 
I hope you are really really really proud of yourself... I am 
. I hope you had a wonderful birthday the other day.
So need to change it to Diary, I think that would be much better, what do you think??
you must really be feeling amazing right now.
