Insides and Week 2

Well for those of you who do not know I was laid up last week with what was thought to be a gall bladder attack.  So the ultra sound showed slug no stones.  The HIDA scan was inconclusive.  So my doctor is sending me to a surgeon to have a camera down my throat and through my gall bladder and bilary duct.

In the mean time whilst I await my appointment, I must get back on the bandwagon as this cannot get in the way of my weight loss.  So tomorrow back to my trainer -after 2 weeks of not exercising, it will be hard yakka but I have to start back sometime.

I also have to have my bio scan this week - please wish good results for me, otherwise my trainer will kick my backside for a whole training session or two and that makes me want to throw up everywhere. 

I am waiting for 1.5 hours and it is Shannan's weekly meeting - goal setting!  Hmmm I really need to do that so time to ponder some goals.

Will get back next post with my goals.

May the scales be ever in your favour.

Weigh in Week 1

Good Morning All

Well weigh in this week and I have lost 7.6kgs since this time last week! Halleulujah, for weeks I have been slow and steady plodding along and this week a massive jump.

It might have to do with being sick and for 2 days I was on rice cakes and dry toast.
However, since those days I have been very consistent with my eating so I dont think 2 days will have lost me all those kilos so I am doing a happy dance for me.

I am looking forward to my exercise starting again!  I have a list of things I want to try and will be a growing list:
Aqua Zumba
Hot Hula
Bikram Yoga
RPM
Cross Fit (a while off yet)

Now a massive announcement I have finally hit the 30 kgs weight loss overall.  Everyone get up and do a dance for me!  I am so excited, so now to keep plodding along through it.

I have to take care of my gall bladder - I have been reading up and rapid weight loss can be a cause of gall bladder illness so I need to increase my fibre and keep my water up! 

Wish me luck at the doctors tomorrow and I hope everyones results are fabulous.

Happy Dancing All The Way to the Shops

One last post for this evening:

Today I fit in a skirt I have not fit in for wow I cant even think how many years - I would say a good 10 years.

I also bought some of the Michelle Bridges work out gear today.  I have the yoga pants, 3/4 pants and a purple singlet.  Tomorrow I am on the hunt for a red singlet or the fabulous blue I have just seen that is out there.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday night.

For the Shannan Ponton challengers - good luck tomorrow

Shannan Ponton 8 Week Challenge Week 1

Well week 1 for Shannan Ponton Challenge and what a week I have had.
I came ready for a pumped up week 1, however Monday I was sick, Tuesday diagnosed with pharangytis and sinus issues.
Wednesday night ended up in hospital with adbominal pains - Friday had to have a HIDA scan to see if my gall bladder has issues.  I find out Monday 5pm the verdict on my gall bladder.
So needless to say I have not exercised this week but next week I intend to get back into my exercise and back on the eating track.
As part of the HIDA scan you have to have a fatty breaky and I cant say I didnt love it, as I do love my bacon and eggs.  So other than that I ate relatively well this week but I will be on the program this week.
Tomorrow - wish me luck, week 1 weight in!!!!!

12wbt 2012 Round 1 and What Now?

So I completed the 12WBT first round.  What did I think?

Well firstly thank you to Michelle Bridges, I lost a total of 25.2kgs in the 12 weeks.
I dont think I could have done it without the program, the facebook groups and my very supporttive hubby. 
I must confess I didnt stick to the program and did my own thing, it was just nice to have it to fall back on.  The only thing I found difficult was the menu, the foods for time poor me, are long and alot of ingredients. 

I did not start off fabulously but came into my own in the last few weeks.  I had a plateau/fall off the wagon in week 8 and 9, and then enlisted a personal trainer and smashed the remaining weeks.

So what now for me to lose this weight.

Well due to the only downfall I can find on the 12wbt program, I am going to try Shannan Ponton's 8 Week Challenge and then I get an extra 2 months in the biggest loser club as part of the package. 

I know my mind and body need variety, so if I stay on one program too long I wont keep on track.  It is a flaw I know about myself and now I work around it.  Same with exercise, I get bored doing the same thing, so thats why I make my trainer - never ever tell me in advance what we are doing and throw things in I wont expect.  As much as I grumble about it, I do love it.
