Another year over


Sorry for not updating sooner. Hubby got some computer stuff for Chrissy and has had the computer in bits for about a week now so have had to wait until I got back to work to update.

Onto the new year hey! New Years Eve was a bit intense for me. We took Bethany out for the day. Now I don't know if I was just being PMSy or the fact that my yucky year was about to end but my m/c carriage kept playing on my mind. Everytime I saw a pregnant woman or a new little baby I started to cry. We then called in at my cousin's who is now 24 weeks and is 8 weeks ahead of where I would have been and I cried when I left. Now I know that I am not the only woman in the world to have had a m/c and there are many women out there who have been through worse but that is just what happened. I think maybe I was saying farewell finally and ready to start again, if you know what I mean.

Well enough of that!

I woke New Years Day with another shocking dose of Hayfever (as did Bethany, she has inherited it from me). I decided it must just be an allergy to Sundays as I only seem to get it on Sunday. I did my new year weigh in first thing. Due to some poor eating and drinky drinks, the result..... 81kg. OMG!!!!!!!!!

Felt rather disgusted in myself but also determined to get rid of it. I started in earnest, consuming 19.5 points for the day and going for a 30min walk. I still had bad hayfever but made myself go nonetheless. I armed myself with a good supply of tissues. That walk made me feel like the way I did 2 years ago when I took myself for that first, long walk around the block. I felt heavy and bloated. I had trouble breathing (this time due to a very blocked but runny nose? and a very dry throat) so I only took it easy.

Yesterday, I woke ready to sneeze the day again. So too did Bethany, so the first thing I did was rush to the chemist to get stuff for both of us. Then the 3 of us set of for a walk by the river. Pete had never been so wanted to go. We walked for an hour and it almost killed me. When we got to our half way point, I had to get a drink (I'd forgotten to pack one). When we got back to the car my legs were like jelly. Then we took Bethany swimming (we had promised her 2 days earlier). So we swam for half an hour. By then we were starving so naughtily we went to Sizzlers. I did my best to be good. I had half a plate of salad, some fruit (lettuce, carrot, pineapple, peaches, etc) and some potato bake. I let myself down by 2 of their little dinner rolls (they are warm and so nice) but they don't have low fat spread so had to have full fat. Then for dessert, I avoided the choc mousse, tiramisu and had jelly and ice cream.

So a bit of a half half start to the week. I am concentrating on reintroducing myself to exercise and tracking and then on Friday I start Paulene's challenge to kick some serious fat butt. I now have 16kg to lose and am pumped to do it.

So, borrowing the idea from Karen, I am going to cap off 2005:

• Have discovered that on 1/1/06 I surprisingly only weigh 400g more than I did on 3/1/05!
• I have had a miscarriage
• I actually got down to 72.9kg during the year, so gained 8.1kg during the year
• My brother has moved to Sydney, but I hear from him more now than when he was here.
• Have finally settled into a job and have been in it for almost a year.
• Watched my daughter change from a toddler into a beautiful little girl.

So that is my start to the year. Hope the year has started well for everyone. This is going to be a year of big changes, I can feel it in my fat!
