Well the laptop is still dead...VERY dead but my wonderful husband was able to get some thing and attach it to the Hard Drive on the dead laptop and extract all of my files...YAY!!!!
Ok so the WAS 12 week challenge is over...i think i did pretty well (cant say that about now tho)
I lost a total od 5.1kgs and 9cms off my waist.
here are the before and after shots....
Its funny....there is a difference but i actually didnt see one at all...not until a few people made lovely comments on the forum.
So thank-you to those lovely ladies who made me see what i wasnt in the beginning...
So March saw us head off to melbourne for a few days.We actually only planned to head down to see the Avalon Air Show but somehow the 5 days we were there were filled with quite a few things.
We drove down which was a nice relaxing drive....coming into melbournes outskirts we were able to see the devistation caused by the Black Saturday Bushfires...and that was only on the freeway..we cant even begin to imagine what it was like further in.
Thursday we picked up a Perth friend from Hoppers Crossing who was going to spend the rest of the time with us and come back to Sydney and then be on his way to USA.
Friday we drove down to Phillip Island to see the historic racers as we knew a few people racing that day.It was also an opportunity for Rob to meet Larry who is a member of the GMH-Torana forums.They have been speaking to each other via phone for about 12 months now after one of the forum members passed away and Larry is the executor of the will..Rob and Larry were in contact as the member who passed away was in the process of building a very rare racecar.Larry wanted to keep rob informed of what was happening (Rob is forum owner) and they became great mates.The racing was awesome and chatting to Larry and seeing the racecar finished was great.
Saturday we headed off early to the Avalon Airshow...they had oredicted rain but when we left the sun was rising and it looked like it was going to be an awesome day...HOW WRONG WERE WE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG what absolute shit weather...we were on the fence along the runway and on the horizon there was a cloud formation that looked like it was coming from the ground like a fire.The announcers kept saying that the radar was showing rain and it will delay the start of the airshow but it would pass quickly.NOT!!
We have never experienced anything like it....then again its not normal to sit in an open field watching and waiting for the weather to come.It hit us and it hit us HARD...the wind was so strong that we had to turn our backs to face away from it and the rain started coming in sideways and hard.Forget and umberella...we had ponchos but they tore due to the wind being so strong.After a few hours of this and being slightly damp the show started and we are glad we stayed..the place was a mudpit and i had to throw out my shoes but it was worth the wait..especially for rob who wanted to see the B1B Lancer bomber as it was going out of production.
OH and the sun was shining when we left haha
>
Sunday we had a meet up with the melbourne GMH-Torana crew aswell as ourselves and 2 other members from sydney and our friend who is a Perth member.
We met at hogsbreath and had a great lunch and it was good to catch up with some people we had not seen for a few years.
Monday we made the journey home with the addition of another friend from Sydney...so it was a far from boring trip.
My sister arrived a couple of days later as she came over to see the Kings Of Leon...So it was a great opportunity to have a get together with friends and cut the top tier of our wedding cake as we were celebrating our 1st Wedding anniversary!!
Speaking of weddings......CONGRATS to Jason and Jadey...i almost forgot :)
Im also part of the Bridal party which was a surprise and im very honoured!
So really not much else as happened.
I was offered a new job position which i acceted last week..Its similar to what im doing now but just more of a training and developing role.
a new 12 week challenge is just about to start again on WAS....i certainly need this one as after the last challenge i have put on 2kgs.
The challenge is almost over
at the moment i really cant do a blog post with pics as my laptop died while we were on holidays so we are going to try and retrieve all my info and pics etc so i can post a bigger post :)
We didn't really celebrate anything for Aussie day this year...usually we have a BBQ with friends but decided to spend the day together and not do anything.
Our decision was mainly due to spending 2 days of the long weekend out for lunch on Saturday and then all afternoon at a friends house yesterday.
So relaxing was what we wanted to do.
So these past few weeks we have pretty much stuck to the eating plan with only a couple of days of eating away from the plan.At the BBQ yesterday it was BYO meat so we marinated some chicken in sweet chilli overnight and took that...was delish and the salads that we had with it while wernt diet friendly still satisfied.
The main thing we are not getting into is the exercise side of things...we KNOW we have to do it and we always talk about it but it never seems to happen.This week WILL be the week to kick start our exercise regime.
This eating plan is working for us and is easy to stick to so we will continue it no problems for the 12 weeks of the programme and see what happens after that.
Well we have been following the CSIRO wellbeing diet now for a week and i think this is something we can follow from now on.
We are meat eaters and with this we are able to have it everyday.
Rob also LOVES bread etc and we are allowed atleast 2 slices of bread everyday....so hes not missing it like he would be with a low carb eating plan.
The first few days we were a bit hungry but now its easy....tho i think i will add a few extra things into robs eating plan as there arent quite enough calories for him and in the afternoon he feels a bit hungry before dinner.
As far as excercise went it was pretty poor..I did manage to get on the Wii Fit once this week which was great as it was collecting dust.Walking we didnt achieve like we wanted.Long hours for both of us meant getting home to late > i know its not a good excuse but it sounds good to me hahaha
I must say tho i did park my car futher away so i did get about 20mins walking in everyday so atleast it was something.
So this week is going to be another great week
The 12 week challenge on We Are Slimming starts...And today i got ourself organised
I did a MASSIVE shop which included what we needed for the week and also cupboard items that we will need all the time.
Tonight we took out measurements and before pics....so here they are
OMG so not going to look like this in 12 weeks :)
I just realise my belly button isnt even inline with the middle lol
ok so in 4 week i will take more pics to compare
If you arent already on We Are Slimming then you should pop over and take a look.
We are about to start a 12 week challenge for weightloss.
I started getting myself organised today with a big clean out of the cupboards and fridge and have made a list of everything that we need to get started.
We are going to follow the CSIRO wellbeing diet which goes for 12 weeks which is perfect length of time for this challenge.
It been rather uplifting having a clean out of everything that we dont need....its also removed the temptation to eat and snack on the foods that arent good for us. DH HATES throwing food out as he sees it as a waste and would rather eat it...but this is why hes at the weight he is (myself included) so hes going to have to get over that otherwise this will never work for him and i will always be hearing that he needs to lose weight he feels like shit etc etc.
I will be blogging all the time (new years resolution) as i think that its the only way that im going to keep myself on track.
I will also be updating with measurements and monthly photos..
Ok so instead of writing a big essay on whyat i did this year i will put a few pics up instead....hope you enjoy
