So what's happening my end? Well, as usual, not too much to be honest. Just stuff - everyday living stuff and trying to fit some fun in sideways. Had a really nice weekend. We went down to the Mussel Festival on Saturday on yet another scorching hot day here in Perth. We have had a run of super hot days - in fact this makes day 58 in a row over 30 degrees Celsius. It's crap... I want the cool weather back! Then Sunday we went to friends where we proceeded to drink our bodyweight in red wine. Well, ok, MOTH (Man of the House) and his good friend stuck to stout while us women had red wine - lots and lots of red wine. I was totally amazed I didn't wake up with a hangover Monday morning which would have been fun with work that day.
Doing ok with my band - though I have managed to gain two pounds - oops! I think I might be at the stage where I need a tiny top-up fill wise but then I have to admit I like where my band is right now. No PB's because I'm not super tight and I can eat pretty much anything. It's a cool place to be. So I will just get back on the wagon and start watching what I eat again and hopefully blow off the 2 I put on.
I got one of the kids to take a photo of MOTH (Man of the House) and I for your perusal. It was our wedding anniversary this weekend. We went to dinner and a movie and it was a lovely day. Really nice.I have taken a few pics of us just doing our thing.. but the one I want to show you is how different I look now. I was looking back at pictures of myself from a year ago and I can scarcely believe the difference. Amazing what shedding 20 plus kilos can do.
Me then - 20 + kilos heavier
Me now - trying to stay cool - and weighing a lot less than the top picture
Out to dinner for our anniversary
Mugging for the camera
Riley kicking butt doing 'gladiator' style fighting - and promptly getting his photo taken for the local paper which we should see next week.
Now the net is up and running (and nice and fast again.... yay) I will be able to check in more often and see what you've been up to also.
Chow for now
