Yeap, it's the 31st Dec today and another year has flown by! And no loss for me in the weight front this year but fark - 2013 WILL be better for me!!! I found an old WW attendance card from Dec 2003 and I am approx 32 kilos heavier now than I was then... but remembering that Dec 2003 was about 10 months into my weight loss journey (when I lost 42 kilos).
Hope you all have a great New Years celebration; no matter where you are or who you may be with... we are off to help one of Stephan's nephews celebrate his 18th birthday today - think we may take 2 cars as I am not planning on staying late (yeap just call me party pooper) so am thinking that Rachel and I may head home about 9ish and then Stephan can either crash at his brothers place if he drinks to much or can then drive home when he is ready (if he chooses not to drink either) or he may be able to hitch a ride home with someone and we can then go and collect the car tomorrow.
Rachel now has "Slap Cheek" virus but at least now that the rash is out, she is not contagious so can still go along to the party tonight as long as there are no pregnant women there as it is only a major concern for unborn children. It really flared up after she had been in the pool today but has gone down again now.
Happy New Year to you all and may 2013 bring you what you wish for xxx

8 months later....
And I'm still here. Took a break from blogs altogether but have
started reading them again and thanks to a friend Tania who has recently
started blogging again, I think I may try too!
About 3mths ago, a friend of mine announced on Facebook that she wanted to lose 10kgs before Christmas - she lost 9.8 kilos! So when she announced this, I thought I can do this too and between the two of us we set up a Private Facebook support group for all those losing weight and who needed support/encouragement OR had already been there done that, and was able to offer advice/tips to those that wanted them. The group now has about 30 members and is going along really nicely, however it hasn't helped me on the weight loss journey! I am approx 2 kilos heavier than when I started the group!
I have joined WW for some accountability as I have found that I need to have that to ensure I keep on track! Oooops not the case this time - however as I have joined up as a WW Plus membership (pay monthly and works out cheaper per week), I am still paying my monthly membership and I intend to be back there on the 8th Jan (first working Tues of the new year). Am so not into counting calories, points etc and would love to be able to give up wheat/sugar etc - but I know that's not my style either. So I just need to find something that fit's me, myself and I!
I was talking to a good friend Lucy today (who has about 20 kilos to lose) and we are going to support and encourage each other throughout 2013 and see how we get on.
Unfortunately I have major issues with my foot/heel - both the one that I had operated on almost 2 yrs ago and the other one as well! So I am finding walking a major issue so getting back to the walking/gym that I did pre Rachel days is not an option for me right now. Also, neither pair of togs fitted me "nicely" (in other words, they were indecent) so wasn't able to do the aqua jogging etc either so was in a vicious circle going around and around... BUT today I did manage to find a pair of togs at Kmart, so I have bought them (they are tight but more decent than the pairs I already had at home) and will be making a real effort to get to one of the local pools for Aqua jogging etc...
So let's hope that 2013 will in fact be a better year for me and my health!!!
