Before and now so far....

Wow where has the time gone?

I cannot believe I have not posted for so long!!  It has been a huge few months and weeks.  My dad passed away on the 19th of April expected but still very suddenly.  So in 2 1/2 weeks over that period I put on 2.6kg and during the earthquake month I put on 2.1kg over nearly 4 weeks, so as you can guess what it has done to my weight loss.  But with a lot of soul searching and help from wonderful friends and supportive family and colleagues I am back on track!!  You know who you are and thank you!  I lost 1.2kg on my next weigh in and then 800g last week, so I am now 82.6kgs. 

My next mini goal is to get into the 70's and be a 70's chick.  I have been there before but not since, well not for a bloody long time!  June last year I was at my lowest at 77.9kg (loss of 18.7kgs) so I am out to beat this and more in the very near future. 

I have been asked recently why I don't think  I am worthy of this.  I am one who gets on the scales and I am always just me, I guess but I am never overjoyed.  So I am trying to change the way I think and remind myself everyday, more often than once that I am very worthy of being a healthier me which will lead to me being happier.  My Crohn's disease does hinder sometimes but I try to just brush over it and move on.  If I eat lots of fruit or veg, high fibre I pay for it.

Well guys and girls, that is a wee update from me at present.  My hubby is working huge hours due to the earthquake, so I am finding evenings a tad hard and I can hear the pantry calling my name often.  I try and counteract that with fruit mainly.

My weigh in is now on a Tuesday evening, so I will be sure to keep you all updated.  Thanks for reading and remember, you too are worthy of being a happier, healthier person too!!!

  1. Great to see you swing open the door to this blog again Kirsten.

    I love the mantra "no excuses"; Coupled with some personal affirmation about self deserving, that mantra really will drive you forward this year.

    Remember the wise words of Rachel Hunter....
