What a weenie amount that now feels like. Just two and a half kilos - or five and a half pounds is all I have left to make it to my ultimate goal of 73.3 kilos.... making it the whole 40 kilos (or 88 pounds) lost. My ticker is teetering on the edge. Far out! (Yup, Nicole and Sally, if you read this... I mucked up slightly. I had four kilos to lose when I made that comment .. not four pounds lol. One day I will get these figures right.) I hopped on the scale this morning to find myself down another half kilo and was stoked. I seriously cannot believe I have so little left to lose. Honestly, 2.5 feels soooo close and it's just a matter of time before you hear me shout I'M AT GOAL!!!!!
Mind you - I haven't been very hungry this past week and I haven't been hungry because I've been sick. Blasted pre-winter. I've been battling a severe cold since last week, but not wanting to take the time off work because I'm only half way through the standard probation period, I struggle my way through the day and collapse when I get home. Not ideal I guess, and it will probably take me twice as long to shrug off the headaches, runny nose, hacking cough and achy body I've been suffering with. Still - I can deal with the aches and pains because well, I'm almost there!! Whoooo...
And speaking of winter - gawd.. I'm cold ALL the time. I remember feeling the cold when I was bigger but this is insane. The rest of the household walks around in t'shirts and I have about three layers of clothes on and still complain. But again, I will take it. I hear it might just be a temporary thing. The lack of insulation and energy output now has something to do with feeling it more... or so I hear. Theories anyone?
I hope you all have a cracking week. I am looking forward to Thursday. It's my day off. Let's hope it stays that way with no call-ins or change of roster.
Before I sign off I want to send thanks to everyone who chipped in to comment on my vlog and 12 month post. Your support was outstanding and I love you all to death.
Till next time

2.5 Kgs left...awesome...it will be gone in no time....
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you. I love watching your ticker move closer to goal and can't wait to hear that you're there!
ReplyDeletewahooo--so close :) I figure the cold thing is because you have lost the equivalent of a down parka and then some.

I am so very excited for you. Those 5 lbs will be gone in no time!
ReplyDeleteSooooo close, Cara. Stay warm, girl!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! You rock!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd stay warm and beat this cold back with a stick. It's hard to think of you going into winter when we are just going into summer. A year ago I'd have been super-jealous and now am so excited about the summer!
You are SO close! That is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well :(
Wow...you're soooooo close now! I can't wait to see you reach it. Sorry you're feeling under the weather. Is it possible to catch viruses (not the cyber variety) through blogs? Because it seems there's a lot of it going around. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazingly close, Cara!! That is just fantastic!! I just caught up on your last few posts and wanted to say that I loved your 12 month post. I really identify with so many of the things you said about feeling better, enjoying shopping, etc. It's so great to be on this journey with you!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteSo close! And I hear you on being cold - I'm much colder than last winter (the fact it's 7 degrees probably doesn't help!). Still I'd rather be slim and cold than overweight and warm!
ReplyDeleteSo close to goal, that must feel so good.
ReplyDeleteI now what you mean with the cold, I have lost 16kg and already am noticing the cold so much more this year. I have heard it is only temperary and that the body should adjust to the new smaller you.
You are soooooo close!!! What an amazing feeling - I've never met you and yet I am so proud :-)
ReplyDeleteSo bloody close :-) that is so awesome - I hear you on the cold issue last winter was the first time I ever REALLY felt the cold and had to invest in thermals - I'm sure I will be wearing them again this year :-)
ReplyDeleteOMG...that is so awesome...4lb or 4 kgs...who cares you are so damn close....I feel the cold alot more now too to the relief of my family who used to freeze whilst I was so hot!!!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO Close!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on feeling the cold! At the moment I have a singlet, shirt, vest, cardy & a scarf on and I'm still freezing!
Em :)
(((CARA))) So. Dang. Close!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support SO MUCH these past few months. You are beautiful xoxo
Hope you are feeling better today. You have so much more on your plate of "life" that may be why you are feeling run down and the effects of the cold weather. Load up on vitamins and keep the water handy. You are so near to goal! Wonderful you! Be happy and get well fast. You have done so much since being banded, NSV completing your studies and practicing your chosen profession. I bet the MOTH is so proud and you should be too!
