YAY! I lost weight this week..

Im still very swollen and in alot of pain due to not only the Allergic reaction to the dye they used for my CT scan but also i have PCOS and the Dr broke one of my Cysts when examining me when i was in hospital. The Dr I seen yesterday just rang me to see how im feeling and to tell me the swelling and pain should start to ease tomorrow, Im on bed rest & have to stay off my feet as much as possible including exercise till at least friday... Im going to be one Cranky B!tch by friday.
I get very cranky & snappy when i dont get to exercise.
But on a brighter note when i weighed in this morning my new weight is 142.6kgs So ive lost 1.3kgs this week and im happy with that. Im finally nearly under 140, not long to go now.
I was hoping to be under 140kgs by my Engagement party which is a bit over 5 weeks away, I know i will be under 140kgs so im going to smash that goal, My next goal is to be under 130kgs by my birthday 15th March. I, sure i will achieve that goal to.
See i have found not only do you have to eat properly and exercise regularly to lose weight but also set realistic goals for yourself, I set small goals month by month so its more achievable and there for it helps keep me motivated.
Im loving seeing the numbers go down not only on the scale but also on my clothes sizes too.

OMG funny story that i must share so you to can have a giggle...
Well we got our car fixed, It was the Alternator & the other day it was to hot to walk to the pool so i drove the car to the pool, I was so excited, i havent driven our statesman for a few weeks because its been broken but also because normally Rob drives it not me, Well when i was driving to the pool i noticed how much better it was steering since i last drove it, So i was talking to a mate and he asked how the car was since the Rutherglen Auto Electric fixed it, I told him so excitedly "It drives so much better now & the steering is amazing" Well need less to say my mate cracked up laughing at me and informed me that the Alternator has nothing to do with the steering, The steering is better because ive lost weight and have heaps of room between my tummy and steering wheel now. I felt like the biggest idiot but i was happy at the same time, I never realised just how much my weight impacted normal day to day things in my life until he said that.
So the moral to the story is, If your car breaks take it to the Rutherglen Auto Electric Guy cause his fantastic and can fix just about anything but also even the car knows when you lose weight.

Im noticing little things with my weight loss, like now when i drive the car i need to move the seat forward and i have the room to do it, my moods are alot better when eating healthy, my skin isnt getting as many pimples, people arent staring at me as much and ive even had strangers comment on my weight loss in the super market or at the pool. I can fit more clothes in my wardrobe now because there isnt as much material in them. So i guess in the last year i have learnt, the saying "Small things one day will mean BIG things" really is true.

Remember you can do anything you put your mind to and if you ever doubt yourself just look where i started and remember my saying that i tell myself when things are getting tough "You can do this, Just Breathe"

Love Always
