that time of the month - already ???
okay somethings not right ... yeah we know its called PCOS baby any you have the symptoms quite a lot of the boxes - easy to gain weight hard to loose extra facial hair.. yes thats a hard one to deal with
body pimples/spots yep... irregular... yup
moody bad tempered find a low carb lifestyle better ... oh and sugar cravings right before
that sums it up
so this week saw a 700 gram gain ... hopefully fluid retention from too much crap and a new downward trend next week
must try to be better....
more water more steps better food choices is what this is all about
got work must dash for now anyway ... will have to try post more often
still in the 99kg range even though its now 99.7 with that 700 gram gain... time to get rid of that!

double digits...aka under 100!
Approx 99 kg now
why approx
scales in same place in bathroom
different spots equate to different weights up to 100.8 to down to 98.5
so taking the usual weigh spot to work on
been watching what I eat trying to keep it balanced to half fresh fruit n veg (non starchy stuff) then 14 carb and 1/4 protein plus trying to drink water
some days good some days not
best step day in a while 18,700 today had a few of under 10s last week
had been doing Yoga but elbow has been sore so avoiding weights/yoga undue stress till it feels better

ups and downs the weigh in saga
this morning is weigh in morning for me
you know that once a week where you breathe in - step on the scales and exhale a sigh of relief
that you have achieved what you set out to do ... or exhale in a pile of curse words when things did not go the way you wanted them to
so this week for the first 4 day I started off on track to eating well day 5 slipped in some extra food a little treat still okay one bad day does not blow out the week
plus calories burned this week have been higher
day 6 oh no .. a terrible day - this one an unplanned high calories day and empty ones at that
took my girls to see Ballerina ... bad movie habits strike again...
they sat there and munched on lollies... next time I am having popcorn
and decided mum needs lollies too.. should have taken my own snacks then they would not have
after the movies we had a light lunch and did some walking around the Hamilton gardens
I have been doing a thing on you tube with 30 days of yoga... some days go really well others are like WTF you want me to do WHAT!!!!! Yesterday was one of those days but 30 minutes later got through that
what doing this 30 days of yoga has taught me so far is yoga is done in tights for a reason especially when you have lost weight in the legs
I did a day in shorts .. looked at my thighs in what can only be called an attempt at downward facing dog and blooming heck they were wrinkly during that manoeuvre
but when you stand up no sign of the weird old lady wrinkly skin
So no more yoga in shorts tights all the way
this weeks weigh in results
today was 103.3 ! So that is 2.6 kg down on previous week - yes a good loss considering those 2 terrible days
amongst 5 good ones... was only hoping for a little loss say 300-500 grams
so the extra exercise must have paid off!
so the journey so far since the start is a loss of 47.2 kg that is the weight of a 10/11 year old these days
measurements these are in inches ...
Start Jan Today
chest 46 45
under 38 38 cup size shrunk but not under there darn
waist 40 39
hips 49 47 this is usually 1 of my problem areas at the moment its
bum 47 46 not that bad am loosing here quiet well returning to my
hourglass figure that is nice
thighs
right 27 26.5 Yay shrinking thighs these are another problem area that is
left 27 26 headed in the right direction slowly but surely!
I hope your personal journey is going well
remember we all have ups with downs
what I did not post last week was
after a 1.6 kg loss the week before I gained back 600 grams...
so to get past that 600 and down another 2kgs on top was a bloody good surprise this morning
until next time

have you tried Yoga???
looking through different things online and one asked the question
have you tried Yoga - it had a link to you tube and some channel that offered yoga
after looking around you tube decided to try 30 days of yoga with Adrienne - which I mentioned in my last post
anyway both of my girls joined me for this tonight
must have looked funny mum and her 2 girls rolling around on the floor trying to figure out what we are supposed to be doing
of our 30 days today was day 6 we focused on core muscles ..
I have taken to just lying in bed with lights off focusing on my breathing
to calm myself to get a good nights sleep
apart from when I drink a lot of water late it seems to be working out well
Today was a 17,000 steps day walked for a solid 30 minutes this afternoon
followed by taking my girls to the swimming pool in Cambridge where they swam laps I just didnt feel up to it as have been in the pool for a while already at work today
kind of loosing the novelty of swimming when you teach in the water 5 days a week and each time is a minimum of 3 hours! TALK about water logged
