TUESDAY:
A new week begins, this week I weighed in and lost 1.6 Kilos, so total 6 Kilos in 2 weeks, am bloody stoked :). My goal is to lose another 900 grams in 3 weeks, should be able to do that :). If you had looked at the side bar, you would have seen the update yesterday :).
A gym day today, did the bike and treadmill. Am up to 20 minutes on the bike, doing interval training and 16 minutes on the treadmill. Am aiming for 20 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the bike for now, plus every second visit I do some lower body, but only with the machines :).
Today I have struggled with food, have managed to keep within my points just.....
WEDNESDAY:
Today is main housework day, so no gym. I cant believe how much easier it is, cause of going to the gym and getting a bit fitter.
Not much else to report today, just resting the hand, as it is bloody sore today - not sure if the ring finger is going, cause it is playing up and having trouble moving it like the middle finger when it happened.
So on that note will sign off and catch you all on Friday :)
Join me on my journey to getting healthier and stronger. in mid 2019, I had surgery on ruptured tendons and to remove the plate and screws in my wrist, which irritated the tendons and caused them to rupture. Join me as I get my fitness back and also start back at doing lower carb way of life :)

Day 13 & 14 on WW
SUNDAY:
I think most of New Zealand is still in shock, with the terrorist attack, I also think most of us never thought New Zealand would need to worry about a terrorist attack. We watched it unfold on CNN as they had much better coverage than any of the New Zealand channel's. It is heart breaking, and poor Christchurch has to deal with another major incident.
Yesterday was mum's anniversary of her death, as the time of 4.03pm came round, I looked back and was thinking about how I held her hand as she passed. My dad and I were in the room at the time, though it has been 14 years, every year this time, it seems like only yesterday, I remember the moment so clear still, and felt so privileged I was there and able to hold her hand as she went.
We really didn't do much today, travelling in a car any distance, triggers of huge pain spikes in my hand/wrist, I did some nail practice when I started to get the munchies lol.
Nice to be back on track, am tempted to weigh in but will wait till Tuesday (offical weigh day), not expecting a huge loss, after last weeks weigh in, will be pleased with anything over 500 grams. I have a first small goal to lose another 2.5 Kilos before my first specialist appointment in 3 weeks on Wednesday. Then depending on how long till surgery, will depend on my next mini goal, every gram lost between now and surgery is going to be a positive.
MONDAY:
Today is a gym day again..... Did the bike, treadmill, elliptical (though only a couple of minutes), and lower body workout on a couple of machines. Already I am noticing a huge difference in my fitness and general health. My back is not nearly as sore, am able to push myself further, everything is getting easier, I have had to move the seat one notch forward again, after having to move it two notches back.
Today I have one client, will be glad when thats done as my hand is getting bloody sore. It seems doing clients, triggers it off.
Planned my days meals last night, think I might do that most of the time, was nice to wake up and know exactly what I was eating today :).
Today is well on track, weigh in tomorrow, crossing fingers for a loss 500 grams or more :).

Day 11, & 12 on WW
FRIDAY DAY 11:
First of last night (Thursday) turned into a disaster food wise...... I am not going to dwell on it, it's happened and can't change it, no excuses - so onto today :).
Today was another gym day - added the elliptical in for just 2 minutes. Got to watch some more Mama Mia on Netflix lol. Am now doing 16 minutes on both the treadmill and bike, on the bike I do interval training, on the treadmill I just go slow and easy, the good thing is my achilles issue does not seem to be rearing it's ugly head, so thats a bonus, but hence why I am taking it slow and easy on the treadmill. Though once I get to 20 minutes I will start increasing the speed and incline :).
David is home again today, we normally have takeaways on Friday, but that happened last night, so tonight will be the chicken breasts/sweetcorn for dinner.
Have 1 client today - it feels so weird only working 1 - 2 clients a day max, normally only one. I have had to turn so many new people down, but I cant accept new people when I really dont know how long I will be off for with surgery, I am saying 2 weeks, and then hopefully can go back to doing 1 client a day, but that could be optimistic.
Ended up doing 2 clients today... day as ended well and within points :).
My thoughts are with those that have lost loved ones in the terrorist attack in Christchurch today. A sad day for New Zealand and those especially in the Muslim community.
SATURDAY DAY 12:
Today had 1 client, Whoops didn't come back and report anything - not a lot happened, David's sister popped in for a few hours this afternoon.
Apart from that not much else to report :)

Day 9 & 10 on WW....
WEDNESDAY:
Am still on a high from the loss this week... now onto a new week, focusing one meal at a time.
No gym today as I did the big houseclean and also did some nails. Planning to go tomorrow. My hand/wrist is pretty sore again today, not really sure what can be causing it, but am not liking it. I was tempted to have takeouts tonight, but decided to cook some homemade fish and chips for a fraction of the points, and it was all cooked in the air-fryer :).
THURSDAY:
Gym today - really enjoyed it, well as much as you can.... as I am only doing the bike and treadmill, I now watch Netflix while exercising and makes the time goes so much faster lol. I am also doing a couple of machines, doing lower body, I was tempted to try just a small upper body machine, but knew it would be bloody stupid so I didn't lol.
New World had a a 1 day special on Skinless Breasts, seeing as they are zero points I stocked up, they are all individually bagged and in the freezer now, and they come out so nice in the air-fryer :).
Weigh in next week, I will be happy with any loss after my huge loss this week.... David is off and he came with me to the supermarket, I bought a bacon and cheese scone for breakfast and bloody hell it was 19 points, wish I had checked it before I ate it lol. Oh well thank god Chicken Breast/Sweetcorn is zero points, guess whats for dinner lol.
Anyway thats it from me for today, catch you all in a couple of days :)

Day 7 & 8 on WW & Week 1 Weigh In
MONDAY:
Today was the first day that I actually can say I enjoyed the gym, I left with a smile on my face and even the staff noticed it :). I am starting to get some fitness back, and am happy to push myself a little on the bike and treadmill.
Thats me giving it the thumbs up lol. :)
The day ended well, well the week ended well
TUESDAY:
Today is weigh in, and am happy to say.... I lost 4.4 Kilos, yip you read it right 4.4 Kilos in a bloody week. Goes to show how much crap I had been eating previously - and I feel so much better about myself, physically and mentally.
Another good gym session, well as much as a gym session I can do at the moment, with only the bike and treadmill. I am not going to lie, my wrist/hand has been a little more sore yesterday/today, not sure if it si the gym or what. I just need to make sure I am careful.
Tomorrow is a gym free day :)
Anyway thats it for now, onwards and upwards - cant see anything exciting happening the rest of the day, so will sign of for now :)

Day 5 & 6 on WW
SATURDAY:
Yesterday ended well, even with takeaways, managed to fit it in my points comfortably.
This morning I did an unofficial weigh in, let's just say I was rather pleased with the results. I really didn't realise how much my portion sizes were out of control. I am still keeping towards the lower carb foods, but not having the fats. So far I have not felt hungry, but the weekends will be the telling time for me, I just need to keep busy, when I am feeling bored and want too munch.
The day ended really well, I did my nails when I started getting bored and that got me through. I even had bacon and eggs for breakfast, bacon in the air-fryer is so yummmmm.
Have I mentioned how much I love the air-fryer lol, we have used it nearly every night :).
SUNDAY:
Offical weigh in is Tuesday for me, after yesterdays unofficial weigh in, I am not going to jump on the scales until Tuesday :).
This morning for breakfast we had banana pancakes, I am finding I am really only have 2 meals a day, and to be honest, I am probably eating less carbs than when I was doing lower carbs (apart from the banana).
Today not much happening, I am finding I cant really drive or go in the car too far, cause the vibration tends to trigger the pain.
Tomorrow back to the gym.....
So a successful weekend - catch you on Tuesday after weigh in :).

Day 3 & 4 on WW
THURSDAY:
Today I went to the gym, and boy I so didn't want to go, I did go though and proud of that, I added an extra minute on the bike and treadmill and then did a very small amount of lower body. I am going to go again tomorrow and that will be it for the week. I have decided to leave breakfast till lunch time as I was feeling a little nauseous after the gym, and dont want to throw up again.
I am also so tempted to weigh in, but trying to only weigh once a week, which is Tuesday.
Just finished lunch and feel ok, I did chicken breast (boneless and skinless) in a butter chicken sauce, it was yum. have no idea whats for dinner as David cooks tonight, but will work it in my points :).
Been watching a bit of Netflix lately, as I am limiting my clients and suppose to rest my hand/wrist, figure it would be a good time to catch up on some stuff. Have just finished Season 2 of 'Atypical', love that, 'Russian Dolls', 'Working Moms', 'You' and now watching 'Isn't it Romantic', I think I have watched more Netflix in the last couple of weeks, than the previous year lol.
Dinner worked out fine, we had chicken, peas, and kumera Fries, I made sure I had a breast and cooked it in the air-fryer with some herbs, it was bloody nice :).
Day ended really well :)
FRIDAY:
Did another gym session today, added another minute each on the bike and treadmill. I am actually starting to feel better already, the exercise (though it is limited), is doing me good both mentally and physically. Dont get me wrong I still struggle to get there but am proud that I have done 4 times this week. Once I get to 25 minutes each, I will stop adding minutes and start adjusting the speed etc.
Food wise, by keeping my portion sizes in control, I am feeling so much better as well, feeling less bloated, and heaps more energetic. I think for now WW is the right decision for me, I am carrying over points, tonight we are having takeaways (we always do on a Friday night), so am going to goggle what fits in my points.
The weekend will be a struggle for me, I know that already - but I will focus on one hour at a time.
I think I might just keep updating every second day, and put 2 days in 1 entry :).
