Day 33........

FRIDAY - DAY 33:

Today the scales are up a whole 50 grams, looks like I will not make my goal for September, but you know what, I am not too worried, the more I stress, the worse I will eat, I am down just over 5 kilos, which is better than being up.... small baby steps. I have stuffed up on the odd days, but have been able to get back on track....

I ordered the Quest bars, expecting the first lot to turn up today, but somehow they have ended up in Blenheim, so now both lots will turn up on Monday. 

I dont have a flash car with bluetooth and all the bells and whistles (one day), so I ordered one of the handsfree phone kits, I got the Jabra Freeway, I was going to get the cheaper one, the 'Jabra Drive' but decided after lots of research, it will be better to spend some extra money and get the next one up the 'Jabra Freeway', also I only have a Jap import radio, this one has a FM transmitter, though I have know idea how it works yet or of it will work on my car, but all I want is to play Spotify anyway. I am hoping this one that streams music will have a decent sound. This one is also fully voice activated....



I went to Kmart today, we have had it here for a year or maybe 2 years and I have only been three times, I didn't realise how cheap some of the stuff is, I needed some plastic containers for my trolley in the nail room and they were only $4.00 each lol. Everywhere else they were heaps more for a similar thing. 

Steph and Chris and their dad have had an awesome time in Fiji, they have been diving a shipwreck, diving with the sharks and turtles, this morning they did some snorkelling with the Mantra Rays, they have been staying on a sail boat but are going back to Nadi today and fly home Sunday night. Their birthday is tomorrow they are turning 24, bloody hell.....

Anyway thats it for now, catch you all soon, and have a great weekend :).

Day 32....

Todays weigh in is 550 grams down from yesterday.... the 100 day weigh in challenge is working really well for me, I am sure I would have blown it, if I didn't have to weigh in each day and keep accountable. 

Tonight for dinner we are having Keto Mushroom and Cheese Frittata, instead of the Lemon Chicken Drumsticks, the Bacon Covered Meatloaf I made last night was so so yummy, and will be having it for lunch today :). 

My second Uncle passed away yesterday, two in 10 days..... even though they live in Holland, I have met them and one came to stay here in New Zealand on a holiday a few years ago. One was form mums side, and the other from dad's side. 

Today is another cold day, only 9 degrees and a high of 11 degrees bbbbbrrrrrrr.

'Feed my Furbaby' is offering a trial pack of high protein and grain free dog food for $1.00. I ordered it yesterday and got it today, Rusty wasn't sure to begin with but then decided it was quite nice. He gets a mixture of raw food and Eukanuba, when that runs out, might change him over to this.....



Also another deal if you like Quest Bars, this site 'Sprint Fit', have buy a box of Quest Bars get one free, yesterday they had buy one and get the Mint for free, today they have buy one, get the Peanut Butter one for free, so I have four boxes coming lol - I hope I like them, I have never tried them but a lot of people rave about them..... they will be good when I want a snack, or after the gym when I start back.... might see what tomorrows deal is and get another two. If I dont like them, I can always just put them in the nail room for clients :). I am not sure how long the special is on for....

Have just finished watching "Working Moms" on Netflix, now I have to wait for Series 4, am still trying to get through '13 Reasons Why"......

Oh and loving the new camera on the iPhone 11 Pro Max..... cant wait till I can use it on nail photos.

Anyway thats it for now, catch you all soon :).

Day 30 & 31....

TUESDAY - DAY 30:

Today food was back on track, though I am struggling.... nothing much happened, just feeling down still.

Scales were well up on todays weigh in, 650 grams - the weekend binge caught up with me, let's hope that now I am back on track they will start coming down again.

WEDNESDAY - DAY 31:

Today the scales went down a whole 50 grams, at least they were down....

Went to the supermarket and got a whole lot of food to cook low carb again, I was so tempted to buy junk food, but I didn't. Tonight we are having a meatloaf, similar to the one  made a week or so ago.

This is the weeks meals:

Tuesday: Egg Salad and Chicken Drumsticks
Wednesday: Bacon Covered meatloaf
Thursday: Lemon Chicken Drumsticks
Friday: Butter Chicken
Saturday: Keto Mushroom and Cheese Frittata or Keto Chicken Garam Masala

Yip a lot of chicken this week, just worked out that way, also not sure what veges, will decide on the night :). 

Am feeling a little better today, maybe cause I am back on track food wise... the weather has been crappy the last few days and that probably hasn't helped. I just want Spring to be here.....

Am going to sign off here for the day, nothing more exciting will be happening, yip I lead such an exciting life dont I?

Day 28 & 29

SUNDAY - DAY 28:

Yesterday I ate like a pig.... the scales show it today, gained 500 grams since yesterday, might even have a gain this week with official weigh in tomorrow. Am really going to try and stay on track today. 

Have joined a 12 week weight-loss challenge, my goal is to lose 6 Kilos in that 12 weeks. It starts tomorrow so its good it starts on my offical weigh in day. 

I used the excuse of someone else's bad news to eat, yip an excuse in reality I wanted a binge day, so felt that was a good excuse... anyway thats in the past.

Went to the Gypsy Fair in Rotorua, it seemed a little bigger than last year, but nothing like it used to be. We then out for coffee to 'The White Rabbit', it was such a cool place, they have keto foods as well, but not sure what, as we were not there for a meal.




Am loving the new camera on the iPhone, still working it all out, but it seems pretty cool - who needs a camera nowadays :).

MONDAY - DAY 29:

Phew came in with a loss this week, down 250 grams from yesterday and also a 250 gram loss for the week, I am happy with that considering the week has been up and down.

Yesterday was such a lovely day, today the weather is packing up and it is suppose to rain for the rest of the week. 

Not much is happening here today so will post this now...

Catch you all soon :)

Day 26 & 27.....

FRIDAY - DAY 26:

Todays weigh in was a gain of 700 grams....., hopefully just a glitch :).

iPhone arrived today and it is so nice to have the bigger screen again, and the camera is amazing, will be perfect for when I start back at work for nail photos :).

And that was my day :)

SATURDAY - DAY 27:

Todays weigh in was a loss of 725 grams, so the gain yesterday has gone and a little more, I am glad I am not stressing over the scales, for whatever reason this time, prob because I know 95% of the time I am on track :).

Am going to sign off now, just had a crappy phone-call and not in the mood for today anymore.....

Day 24 & 25...

WEDNESDAY - DAY 24

Day 24 and todays weigh in is 300 grams down from yesterday.....

Yip as you can tell didn't do much yesterday....

THURSDAY - DAY 25

Today's weigh in is the same as yesterday....

Last night we had hamburgers, but I succumbed and had a real bread burger bun, the last couple of breads I have made low carb, I just couldn't handle it and really upset my stomach, TMI - but I needed to keep going loo, the only link I could find was the Almond Flour that was triggering it off, I am now put off anything with Almond Flour, I might try it in a week or so again, but anyway back to the bun, I dont regret it and hell I could do a lot worse than that. 

Had my hand therapist appointment, not a lot has changed, and we are looking at prob early next year before I can look at going back to work, might be able to do some part time clients later in the year, but basically before I can even think about work, I need to be able to do most normal things with that hand..... without the splint. I am beyond getting angry or upset over it, and just have to pray we dont need another surgery after this. 

Hopefully my new phone will arrive tomorrow, thats something to look forward too.......

Anyway going to sign of now, dinner tonight is Tandori chicken with mushrooms done in bacon etc....

Have a great day/night wherever you are.... oh and if I dont post daily you can check my daily weigh in in the side bar over there ---------->

Day 22 & 23.......

MONDAY - DAY 22:

Week 3 official weigh in and lost 900 grams, am happy with that, and 300 grams down from yesterday and 5.2 Kilos in 3 weeks - cant complain about that, need to lose 900 grams to get to the next decade below, goal is to be there at the end of the month. I dont really have any set goals weight wise, would just like to average 1.5 - 2 kilos a month, so this time next year will be about 20 - 25 kilos lighter.

The new iPhone is coming out on Friday, well all going to plan it should arrive in my hot little hands on Friday. Yes I did order it, I got the bigger phone again, I swapped to the smaller one 2 years ago and hated it from day 1 and regretted not purchasing the big one. So I got the iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green. I love new gadgets lol. 

Yip forgot to post again.... so here is 

TUESDAY - DAY 23:

Day 23 weigh in and down 200 grams from yesterday - 5.4 kilos in total, bit by bit it is coming off.....

My carb count seems to average about 30 - 50 grams of net carbs a day, this seems to be working well. 

Yesterday heard from my cousin that my uncle in Holland passed away suddenly, I last saw him when he came to new Zealand 5 years ago and met him when I was in Holland. Also another uncle is in hospice and in his last few day/weeks. One is from my dads side and the one in hospice is on my mums side. I do love Facebook and the internet that we are able to keep in touch with relatives, it brings us all closer and we dont seem so far away. 

Anyway going to post this now, as nothing else will be happening today, it is a Netflix day I think, still watching '13 Reasons Why' and also watching 'Diagnosis' :).
