Weight and life....

My life has finally not been revolving around my weight or weightloss. I've been going to the gym and been more active in general life which is what the aim was I suppose. This is what's been happening and about to happen....

1. I've been accepted into Uni - I am so excited about this as it has been a long time coming for me to decide what I want to be when I grow up! I'm doing a BA - Psychology. I'm doing it via distance ed so yes I am still working full time for the moment.
2. Fundraisers for Jess are on 2nd May and 29th May. That is huge in itself. Have had media ringing myself and my friends for publicity etc which is good.
3. Have garage sale this weekend - why do I have these stupid ideas! What a lot of work! I'd better make a million!!!
4. Have old friend coming down on long weekend in June to stay - that should be good.
5. Have holiday booked on gold coast in July.

Then we rest!!!

Finally a little good news!

Had consult with dietician today - it's all good! She said much what you all said - it isn't all about the weightloss and I'm doing all the right things. In time...

I went to the gym at lunchtime to weigh in and measure. I've lost 8cms in 4 weeks which takes my total to 101cm! Hooray - I've lost over a metre! How's that! Didn't lose a scratch in weight but hey who cares!

Some good, some not so good....

Well - the job fell through.....I'm glad I didn't lose any sleep over it! I was "asked" to apply but was still overlooked - go figure! Anyhow - as they say - their loss. At least I still have a job to go to each day.

On the weightloss front. When I had the bit of fill taken out it took me a few weeks to adjust to it and I put on a bit but now I"m on the straight and narrow again. I've been going to aqua 2 times a week and playing tennis in the comp. Which is more exercise than I've done in quite a few years! I feel great and I can feel my clothes getting looser again. I've lost 1.2kg this week which takes me back to a loss of 23kg. Yes - I've put on about 2.5kg but we'll just forget about that as it's nearly gone now.....I'm aiming for the 25kg again now!!!

At work - things are fragile and shaky. The staff involved are having flashbacks, sleeplessness etc. - the counsellor is here a lot. The funeral is tomorrow in N'Castle and we have a bus going over with the remaining students attending.

Jess is fitting again. She goes through stages of being so well and then she gets like this - which brings you back to reality. After a fit last night Caitlin said last night "if Starlight had have given us her wish - Jess wouldn't be disabled anymore" - through the eyes of a 9yr old......
