Happy times

It was time for my monthly checkup today and did so by phone with my dietician. I'm doing really well. Eating small meals, feeling full for 4hrs or more. Not really showing on the scales but am going down in size - gotta be happy with that. I'll be doing the face to face appointment in about 5-6 weeks from now.

We fly out on our holiday on Saturday 5pm. Am really getting excited now...just have to buy a couple of t shirts and shorts as I went through all my last years clothes and they are far too big (brag, brag!!).

Had the markets yesterday. It was an absolutely shocking day so wasn't expecting a lot. I did really well. Sold 12 dozen Peanut butter balls and about 15 bottles of my poppy seed salad dressing. I'm going back next month!

Exciting times

Not long now till our big trip to the Cook Islands. We fly out on the 20th. Caitlin and I went shopping on saturday and guess what............I bought 2 tops both size 18!! How's that! Everyone who walks in my house at the moment doesnt even get a "hello" - they get a top shoved in their face and me beaming saying "look at this!!!"

It's very strange that the scales are just going up and down on that 20kg mark but not much else but my body is getting smaller which is all that matters.

Myf - I know you are already gone but just in case you read this - enjoy the rewards of all your hard work on that trip - it will be interesting to read all the differences (I've just read some) that you will notice.

Keep up with me!

I know I'm slack and haven't posted in a while!

To catch up:

• We went to Morpeth (Maitland) last weekend for Mum's bday. Had lovely seafood lunch. Had respite too which was even better.
• Had a bloke I know die from cancer a week or so ago. 43 is too young to die and leave a wife and 3 kids.
• Now a teacher I've known for years has died from cancer as well so am going to his funeral tomorrow.
• I've been back to the Orthopaedic surgeon about my knee (which has been extremely sore and is the reason I'm not exercising) - he gave me the bad news that my knee is "stuffed". I'm up for a knee replacement within the next 10 years depending on how long I can last....not great news. Bring on summer so I can get back in that pool.
• On a lighter note I'm madly preparing for the markets where I'm going to be selling my Poppy Seed Salad dressing and Peanut Butter Balls (which are not for bandits!). That will be fun...they are very popular with my workmates and John's workmates so we'll see how it goes.
• On the weight loss side of things I'm getting lots of positive comments but the scales are not reflecting anything exciting! I'll take a photo this weekend so you can have a look for yourselves.

Good luck with your weight in today Tina - can't wait to see if you hit the 99.9kg! I'm so jealous but all in good time.

Thanks Sue for the lovely comments! and Diz you are a positive influence as usual.
