My first part of this weeks challenge was to find a new picture of Daisy to put on my fridge!! Each week I have made a poster for my fridge with the requirements of each challenge.. I have included a photo of the beloved Daisy.. but I have run out! So onto google I went !!
This is again the original Daisy, and the caption attached to the photo said "While running through the woods, Daisy Duke falls into quicksand and gets rescued by her cousins" - Still looks hot - even if she is having a near death experience.. Check out those collar bones....
W3 in review.. I have no idea on my steps. Pedometer click broke on day three, and I will send it back to WW but I am not certain if the WW warrantry will cover a clip... so if it doesn't, I will log onto Walking with attitude (thanks for the tip girls..) and get another!! I think I will get a better one anyway, I like the sound of those clips with weights. Toning exercises where fine..
Eating... Shit... Started out fine, but for some reason I stopped tracking and it all went out the window. I went to Ballarat yesterday to see my grandmother and I nearly emptied her lollie jar.... stupid... but somethings I guess will never change! Even as a kid, I could go to Nanna's, nearly make myself sick on lollies. Such a bad habit!! I guess it is lucky I don't live in the same town as her!!! But, while in Ballarat I went to a fresh fruit and veg shop called Wilson's, and I believe that they still grow a lot of the produce.. so fridge is full and ready to go!
Ros returned to her meetings tonight. She was very quite initially, but once the meeting started she told us her story about the accident.. I think we where all in tears at some stage of the meeting. Ros is an incredibly strong person, but this has really dented her armor. I don't know if it made her feel any better, telling us her sad story, but it has brought it all out, open for discussion and I know that is the way she would want it. She told us everything from the CFA beeper going off at home, saying that there was an accident and at what intersection and she knew it was her husband, going to the accident in the slippers, having to race back home to get her purse and change her shoes, as they had called the air ambulance at the accident scene. How she lived in the same set of clothes for 4 days, didn't eat for those days either, how the injuries happened, that there wasn't a bruise on his little body, just head injuries, when Jack went in for his transplant surgery she went shopping for fresh clothes and a block of chocolate. Very, very brave family and I admire her more now then ever before...
My weight was 63.9 (over two weeks) so a 200 gram gain... nothing considering what I have been eating...
So.. onto the
W4 - DDC
EAT
This week I am going to focus more on eating... in fact.. I am going to go onto NoCount for the week. The only meal that will be eaten out (i think) during the next week will be next Wednesday (got tickets to see the Scare Little Weird Guys and plan to eat out prior) - but we are going to Mexian restaurant where they do a fine streak.. so I will get through that one unharmed. I have started my NoCount week with a plate of baked beans and toast... Yummy soup for lunch and a pasta dish for tea... will have to think more about tomorrow before I do the shopping.
MOVE
Due to pedometer issues at present, I can't put a number of steps for this week. So at least 4 good walk/runs and again toning exercises - 4 sets of. I have been feeding the sheep by hand (lugging bags of grain around) which I hope is also helping. Hopefully by next week I have a pedometer again. It is so much easier, when I am busy with the kids, to slip out for 20 minutes twice a day, then do on a big walk.. Just slowly adds up during the day.
THINK
Again... I am going to work on "Don't eat your emotions" - yesterday was fine as I had bookwork to keep my busy... perhaps I need to get another hobby...

Ros is an incredible woman and whilst her mental wounds will never fully heal, having friends around her will make the burden a lot less. At least she knows there are people she can always talk to about Jack.

Way to go on the DDC. Keeping up the focus, and building those habits is what is going to get you there. :D
Lolly jar in Ballarat hey? I wonder if they come from Soverign Hill - great memories of those lollies.
It must've been very difficult for Ros to come out and talk about it so candidly.
Have a great weekend.
I was wondering how Ros's first meeting had gone. What a brave woman she is.
Sounds like you're going well - but tell Nanna to hide the lolly jar next time you're round there, heh heh!
Hey some habbits are just with us for life. Like the lollies. lol. You have to be able to see the funny side in things I guess.
what a couragous woman Ros must be. Something like that I'd imagion would be devisating. :(
Ros is obviously a very brave woman, it must be a very difficult time for her.
Love your goals for the coming week, I am going to try a week on no=count also, think its a good way to focus on food without obsessing!
Lucky for me my pedometer only needed a new battery!
Cant believe you were in Ballarat - Wilsons is where my Mum shops - great fruit and veg there! Your lucky to have a gran who lets you near her lolly jar I reckon... My gran (RIP) was a bit of a grumpy gran, no lollie jar thats for sure...she used to hide her god biscuits too.
Were you loving the Ballarat weather????
Thanks for the update on Ros - what an incredible woman for being able to tell her story at the meeting, but then at least she knows she is amongst people that care and support her.
Good going with only a 200g gain after the lolly jar raid :P
Good plan for W4 - get at it and I'm sure you will be saying a fond adios to that pesky .2kg - just stay away from the lollies! :)
Have a great week Kirsty - enjoy Scared Little Weird Guys, give us a report won't you!
Ails x
