It really is so ridiculous that it is already the end of October. This year has gone so quickly!! Just another Monday at work except today I did something that I would have never done 12 months ago…..realistically probably even 6 months ago! I had a meeting at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, normally I would have caught a taxi […]

So nothing exciting happened today so I thought I would share the answer to the question I get asked regularly. What can you eat? To answer the question it’s simple, I can eat whatever I want just in a much much smaller portion. This is an example of what I can eat. For dinner tonight I cooked a delicious lamb […]

Today was a good day! The little guy and I hit up the gym where I did an hour of cardio. Once we got home I dragged my two lazy bums off the couch and off we went for a family walk. So nice to do active things as a family Tonight after the little guy went to sleep Jamie […]

Today is my last day of my 5 days that I been acknowledging and celebrating my NSV. I can honestly say that taking some time out to stop and think about all these things really has helped my mindset. Today I am going to talk about numbers! 54…..54 weeks since I first saw my surgeon 44……44 weeks since surgery 78……78 […]

Today I get to celebrate another NSV in my quest to get out my funk. This morning on my way to work I returned my CPAP machine. Why did I return it? Because due to my weight loss I no longer suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea. This is the one of the best NSV’s yet as it shows another benefit […]

Thank goodness today was my last day of my 5 days of […]

Day 4 of 5 textural torture! Breakfast – yoghurt Post gym – iced coffee Lunch – baked beans, ricotta & Parmesan Afternoon tea – diet jelly Dinner – beef stroganoff with mashed potato My NSV that I am going to celebrate today is that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone more than I was even remotely comfortable with.

Happy 10 months to me…..I really can’t believe how quickly the time has passed! That means it’s time to do my monthly body measurements. This month I have lost another 3.5cms across my 6 measure points. My calves and thighs unfortunately haven’t moved in a long time but I can still celebrate losing a total of 147cm off my body […]
