WHMP: 21 July 2017

Posted in : Uncategorized, When Holly Met Percy on July 21, 2017 by : C4Kkitchen

Today marks seven months since I had my sleeve which means that it’s the day for my monthly body measurements. Before I even got to totalling the measurements I had a NSV of only needing the tape measure to go around me one time without needing additional length.

I have lost another 10cm in the last month.

I have lost 73cm since surgery.

I have lost a total of 132cm since my first appointment with Lilian in October last year.

My brain can not even fathom that length gone. Lachlan is 122cm tall so that’s taller than him!

This morning I had a lovely family morning with my sister and all the kids heading to the train park in Port Adelaide. As we were sitting down for snack time (aka coffee for me). I looked over at my three little cherubs….

And I realised that I have lost the combined weight of all theee kids. That is at shit crazy!!!

You also have to love the raw honesty of children. My gorgeous little six year old nephew says to me today “you’ve got a big tummy Aunty Holly, but it’s not as big as it used to be.” You don’t get m uh more honest than that!

Today I went on multiple train rides within the kids and that wouldn’t have happened at all 8 months ago.

My sister has never acknowledged my weight loss but today she went out of her way to say how awesome I am looking and how well I am doing 😀😄😁.

Once we eventually got home this afternoon I got dinner organised and set off to the gym. I decided to stick with my train theme of the day and channelled a puffing steam train pushing myself on the treadmill and maxing out the incline at 25.

It’s also an arms workout as I have to hang on for dear life so I don’t fall off. I wasn’t working at any race winning pace but the heart rate was going and burning some serious calories.
