Daisy Duke Challenge - Week 2



Isn't she hot!! This is the original Daisy, and in my husband's opinion. The best one.

Ok.. firstly we have a new blog baby.
Kate finally gave birth to a little girl. Pop over and check out the photos. Kate's blog was one of the first that I started to read and I remember when she announced that she was pregnant again. **Clapping hands** So a huge congrats Kate, Joesph and Amelia. Please email me your address, Kate, when you have a chance (akdaniel@bigpond.com) so I can send little Natalia a little Aussie gift!!

Secondly... more baby news. Our first lamb arrived!! I know.. i know.. it is only a bloody lamb, that some of you might end up eating before the year is out, but it is still a little baby. I took the kids over yesterday to show them, being careful not to scare them and to see the ewe always turning to check that the lamb was still there was very cute. The poor little thing had to endure a -2 degree morning, but it is ok. (Jack checked.. he he he)

Weigh in tonight. We have a leader from Horsham coming over for a few weeks until Ros is up it again. Ros' boys funeral was yesterday. A huge funeral and it seems the family is holding up well, for the mean time. They donated Jack's organs, and if out of this tragic event, it is a positive for them to have. That Jack's death has helped others. Again, an important reminder about organ donation. If my mind had a little meter on it, I am sure that I would have clicked into the 10,000's, with the number of times I have thought about them in the past week or so. They have set up a trust account for Jack. The family intends on supporting those that supported Jack.. such a wonderful idea. One of Jack's little cub mates organised a raffle to raise funds for the trust account, amazing initative for a 9 year old to organise. Again.. i guess it is something positive for them to focus on.

It has been so bloody cold and I have only just done the minimum with my Daisy Duke challenge. I have completed it and if I did not set the challenge, I don't think I would have exercised at all. I have lost count of sugar points this week. At a guess... 30??? Aren't I bad. Why am I like this??? Dunno... it is really annoying.. Week 2 of the Daisy Duke Challenge will be flawless... wait and see!!!

Eat
Ok - If I feel like something sweet, I plan to eat fruit instead. I don't think we will be eating out this weekend, so I am in total control of what I eat. Father in law is flying in tomorrow, so wil have to have 'sweet' things on stand-by for the weekend, but that doesn't mean I have to eat them! Plan all of the weekend meals - including snacks!!

Think
I am going to work on the Plan Ahead habit. I am a pretty good planner, but with a father-in-law here all weekend, if I don't plan I will fail.

Move
Walk 50,000 for the week
4 sets of toning exercises (Really enjoying these - love my skipping rope)

Quote for the week
" The hardest things in life to learn are which bridges to cross and and ones to burn"
Edit - I have just arrived back from WW and happy to report that my weight is sitting at 63.7kg. Only 200 grams above my lowest ever weight. TTOM hit today.. so I am VERY happy with that result.
I am aiming to get below 63.5kg this week... a new time low.

Good luck sweetie, i'm sure you can do it. Glad that Ros' family seem to be holding up ok. Can't imagine how hard it is for them.
Have a great week.

Great weigh-in, good stuff!!

I think the little boys raffle to raise money for Jack's trust is just gorgeous, sounds like you have a wonderful community there, rallying together to look after the family in their time of need.

Well done on the weight in Kirsty and way to go on your challenge so far. I know that it didn't go entirely to plan but at least having a plan there got you moving. Well done.

I like your plan of attack for the next week. It should help to see you at your lowest ever. How exciting :D

Have a great weekend

Great results Kirsty and look forward to hear how you go next week.

Good to see so many people are getting behind Ros and her family. What a gorgeous gesture my Jack's friend.

Have a great weekend and cuddle the lamb from me...

Love the Daisy Duke plan!! And what a great result for you.

It sounds like you live in a lovely community that provides a lot of comfort and support to people in need.

Hey stranger! Yes, the old Daisy Duke is hotter - and I would bet all my new lambs in the paddock that she is smarter than the new Daisy Duke too... Hope that you are doing well... LOL about how excited you were about the new lamb. I had a "tragic incident" last week - one of our "girls" had triplets - she only wanted one though... we looked after the others for 2 days - pretty good seeing when they first made it inside they were little blocks of ice still covered in afterbirth goobers and hardly breathing. We had them up and about within 6 hours - Rocky and Larry that is, (yes, I did name them). Now I know naming lambs isnt particularly normal - but worse than that I also made them little hats out of an old explorer sock. Anyway, they died in the end and I was so sad I cried - a LOT. I may need to get out more.
Have a lovely week and sorry I have been so SLACK in keeping up.

Love est x
