Some thoughts for the day......

I feel utterly fantastic today - amazing considering I didn't get to bed till way after 2am. Usually that does not agree with me at all.

Last night MIL (Mother in Law) flew back home to us from Europe and she didn't arrive until midnight, so MOTH (Man of the House) - check out all the acronyms lol sorry - trundled into Perth to pick her up with one of our sprogletts in tow. I was a lucky girl, got some lovely presents. A gorgeous burgundy pashmina, and a lovely bottle of Bulgari perfume (in a knockout bottle, so purple and pretty) and some moisturiser. Germany makes some gorgeous face moisturiser. It's always a treat when she brings me some back. We sat up late chatting and had a little drink then we flaked out.

I just wanted to record a few things that are happening to me right now - body wise through losing this weight. I am a kilo and a half away from the midway point! That both shocks and amazes me. I NEVER thought I would get this far down. Eighteen and half kilos and counting. It just makes me want to grab that other 21 and a half kilos I have left and shake it to death. This is so exciting! PLUS I'm only four and a half kilos off getting back into the 80's. Somewhere I haven't been for like 15 plus years. WHOOO!!

Last night I was laying on the spare bed watching So You Think You Can Dance - the American version. Love it. Anyway, I was laying there, and Riley came up for a cuddle, gave me a squeeze then he got a fright. "MUM!! You have a lump on your stomach!" I was like.. what the??? Then I realised what he was talking about. My ribcage lol. He could feel my ribcage plain as day poking out and not layered in fat. I was in fits of laughter and showed him the other side AND my newly poking out hip bones too. His eyes were as big as saucers. He then proceeded to show me his skinny little ribcage by sucking in his non-existent gut. It was cute and funny.

I love wearing scarves. Pre-band I looked like a giant lump with a piece of material wrapped around my neck. Not any more. They look hot!!! I have so many colours and I love to wrap them around my neck to brighten things up. The new one I got last night looks great with my blond hair.

I have re-discovered my knuckles. They are quite sharp lol. Ergo my collar bone and thinner fingers I had forgotten existed. Yay!

Its super fantastic to wake up in the morning and know whatever I put on will fit. I remember the days when I would dread trying to put my jeans on because even in the morning they would be tight. Even worse, when newly washed - hoi, wasnt it fun to try to button them. Now I know the jeans I slink into will still fit AND I don't have to struggle to get them on. Same with my new tops.

I have a pep in my step I never thought I would see again. I fly around the house like a lunatic so full of energy even MOTH is astounded. I will turn to find him studying me with this big grin on his face. He is SO happy for me. When I wore the hairspray t-shirt and jeans with a cute little pair of espadrilles he commented how youthful I'm dressing now. I'm like .. what.. is that code for mutton dressing like lamb. Nope he answered. You just look great. Perfect ........ awww. I love that man!

Seeing MIL's face when she saw me for the first time in 10 weeks last night was brilliant. She was astounded at how different I look. She said you have a classic heart shape face again (and I counted - yeah, not fat and round the way it was before) She wisely didn't agree lol.

Think that's about it. Just wanted to check in and get this down while it was on my mind because in the long run, this blog is just a recording on my thoughts and feelings of a particular day and you poor guys just have to suffer as you come along for the ride lol. I look forward one day to reading everything I wrote back and seeing how things were.

Oh yeah, and this marks my 101th post. Dang. I wanted to mark the hundredth but I forgot. Who knew I would have 101 things to actually say that are semi-interesting lol. Well, to me anyway xx Seeya
