Ok first things first...I am now under 200lbs! Ahhhh! So excited. Today I am 197.8lbs which is 89.9kg! So I am also in the 80's for the first time in forever.
How I did this after the amount of booze I drank over the weekend is crazy. I guess I didn't really eat much and when I did it was healthy so maybe that was how? It definitely wasn't a healthy weekend, too many of my cals were from alcohol. But I had an AMAZING time, ah definitely one of the best weekends of my life. Oh and there was a boy. Even though I don't think anything will come from it, it was still so nice to be with someone, if only just for a little while.
Oh and I wore a dress this weekend for the first time in FOREVER. Probably since my highschool uniform! Loved it!
I've got PT with my trainer then Yoga after this afternoon, yeah!!

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...
Well, I don't have to pretend because I just saw the most gorgeous shooting star!
Let's hope my wish comes true :)

A shrink date
I weighed in today and taadaa...91kg.
So that is a loss of 1.6kg!! (3.5lbs).
I am so close to seeing an 8 in front of my weight, I cannot wait!
Other news, I got my referral from my doctor today to see a psychologist. I will probably go into this in more detail when I have a bit more time, but basically I did not balloon up to 116kg just because I was lazy and loved to eat. There was some serious emotional issues going on and I want to sort out so it never happens again.
I have started taking care of my body, now it is time to start taking care of my mind.

Buggered + spring storms
I am so totally buggered!
Tuesday nights are Yoga, then I go off to dog obedience training with my dog. Oh crap, why I need a gym when I have him is a mystery. He is so huge and full of bouncy energy, I feel like I fight him every inch of the way. Considering he is 90lbs+ and still only 7 months, it is no light effort. Oh and hence why we are at training! A hate of mine is people who have large dogs and no control...oh look out hypocrite haha. I guess at least I am trying to do something about it! I seriously think I should do the dog training and the Yoga the other way around, I lose all my nice calm energy out on the field with him. Oh well. At least it is a work out with an extra benefit. It is also a night where I am not at home to think about food.
Tonight we have had on and off the first spring storms for the season, lovely! I am excited the warm weather is here, smelling the constant Jasmine fragrance lingering in the air. Ahhh so perfect! And I just know deep down in my heart that Spring/Summer 2010 is going to be AMAZING! You know when you get that little inkling, well yep, I have that.
I have been working on my 43 things to do list over at their website, once I have finished I will post it up. I am keen to get through at least half of them by the end of the year, then add some more to it!
Happy Tuesday xx

Where did the weekend go?
It's Sunday night, where on earth did the weekend go?
Ohhh right, I worked all weekend, that is where it went!
I will admit, it wasn't all business this weekend. I always have this struggle on the weekends I am working; do I have a quiet one so I can catch up on rest and not be totally shattered before starting a new week without a proper break OR do I go nuts and actually do fun things and make it still feel a bit like a weekend, even though I am working.
I chose the go nuts option and I definitely feel like I am paying for it now. Friday night I had drinks with friends and while it wasn't a huge one, I still did not get home and into bed till after midnight. Saturday night I went out pubbing/clubbing and managed to stumble in just before 4am. Dumb idea! I had to be up and showered for work by 8.30, so of course I had about 5 minutes sleep. I actually felt pretty good at work, lucky it was a short shift. I came home and just crashed for most of the afternoon.
Ok so the good, the bad and the ugly from the weekend
Have a great week all! Here we go again!

- I love my friends. They loved me when I was fat and they love me now that I am becoming smaller. I am truly blessed to have these awesome people in my life. Oh and they are insanely hilarious!
- I drank way too much
- I ate very well until today (Sunday). I had McDonalds for breakfast (I wouldn't of made it through work otherwise) and just had Red Rooster for dinner. I have not eaten this many cals or fat in forever, I am totally going to pay for it tomorrow.
- My black skinny jeans in size 16 are feeling loose! Well not tight and skinny like they should and used to be anyways. I love that I can go into any shop, pick up a size 16 and know it will fit. I think roughly an Australian size 16 is an American size 12?
- Saturday night, I got hit on. A lot. I am still not used to it and quite often it makes me feel like an idiot. I am pretty sure I come off as a bitch most of the time.
- Some guy kept telling me I was "stuck up and pretentious"...I think this has a lot to do with the point I made above this one
- I hate that I am getting so old! 27 is feeling so damn ancient these days. I don't act my age, feel my age or look my age but...there is no escaping it! I can't seem to meet guys that are older than 22, how tragic.
- Oh and I survived the baby shower. It wasn't too bad. But I did make 2 babies cry.
Have a great week all! Here we go again!

Just because I can...
...I'm going to do another post tonight. I'm in the mood to chat amongst myself. I think I am a bit excited about this blogging thing, although I am sure the novelty will wear off.
I probably should be in bed actually (but instead I'm here and also watching a Summer Heights High dvd...hilarious!), it has been a big week and I'm working all the way through until NEXT Friday, poo! It should make me stay on track over the weekend though. I do have to go to my cousin's baby shower Saturday afternoon, which I am feeling kind of blah about. I love my family, but I am slowly becoming one of the only single girls left. This is always highlighted so much more at things like baby showers, because everyone is there with their babies, talking about babies, playing with babies etc. This all coupled with the fact I am about as maternal as a stick, makes it not the greatest way to spend an afternoon. A positive is I have dropped a bit more weight since I last saw my family, so at least I'll be able to show off a little.
It's TTOTM at the mo, so I won't be weighing in until it's all over and done with, hopefully I will see 91kg. So close to the 80's! And so close to being under 200lbs!

First...
I have been inspired!
There are so many wonderful blogs out there, I have really enjoyed reading them and gaining motivation from them. I have enjoyed them so much I decided to try my own hand at it, because like everyone else, I feel like I have a story to tell. Well, a story that has started but that I am nowhere near finished.
A little about who I am...
I am 27 years old and live in Australia. I enjoy the usual things; going out with friends, spending time with family, animals, reading etc. I am also fat.
My fatness is something that has come and gone throughout my life but the last few years, things got out of control. At my heaviest weight I was 116kg (255lbs and a BMI of 42.6) and I was deeply unhappy.
A year ago I decided enough was enough and I embarked on changing my life.
I cut down on the amount of crap I ate and started exercising. Nothing fancy or expensive. In fact, I have no doubt saved money because holy moly, I used to blow so much cash on trash food and booze!
I currently weigh 92.4kg (203lbs and a BMI of 33.9), which means I have lost almost 25kg (52lbs). I have had my ups and downs, and still have a loooooong way to go but having lost a chunk of this weight has already CHANGED MY LIFE! I cannot wait to see how things are in another 25kg!
I'm finding foxy, I don't think she ever really left. I think the fat girl in me smooshed her down. But as that fat girl slowly slips away I am catching glipses of foxy. I like what I see :)
