82.9kg - I don't think I have been under 83 kg in over a year. Very happy about this fact.
I'm aiming to be under 80 kg by the end of the month - I think this is a challenging but do-able goal.
Total weightloss since beginning again = 1.5 kg.
It's jolly cold here this week. Massive snow fall that hasn't been seen in our part of the country for about 30 odd years. Rimutaka Hill Road is closed (no surprises there) and is likely to be so for a couple of days to come. We still have a blanket of snow over the whole section with more forecast for today and tomorrow, even Wednesday has a little snow icon on the metservice website - this is very exciting for me. Fire is roaring. Toasty warm inside.

Long time no post
So I read today on another post from a mummy who hadn't posted for a while. The general thought was ...
So I haven't posted for a while, I could explain but it would take a bit and those who know me in real life you know where I've been.
A general summary:
- wipe out flu
- over a month of physio for a knee injury (caused by completely insufficient core muscles blah blah)
- school holidays being a killer with wet weather.
- baby chugga with terrible eczema (perhaps dietary related? see below)
I weighed myself this morning and was really surprised to see I was 84.1 kg (1o0 gm less than my last weigh in and over a month of no exercise at all and shocking shocking shocking eating patterns). As of Monday I have been eating dairy free (completely dairy free, not even a smidge, reading all labels in the supermarket carefully) in an effort to eliminate a certain milk protein from baby chuggers diet. This is an awesome opportunity for me to put my money where my mouth is as the inner monologue has always said "harden up, it's not that hard to eliminate something from your diet". So far it's not hard. Really it isn't. But it does mean some big changes in eating habbits. I now have to think a little more about what to eat at lunch time (yeah, acheese sammie isn't the go to any more). Today I had tomato and basil soup with toast and an apple and an orange. I guess it will force to eat way more healthily - so massive YAY on that front. Also I've eliminated all fizzy from my diet as 1 in 100 kids can have ezcema trigged by the carbon dioxide in it (well Dr Google says so anyway).
In other news we got an exercycle as it this is pretty much the only non-weight bearing cardio exercise I can safely do until my thigh and other core muscles are strengthened. Bonus that the red shed have half price at Easter Weekend :) Lots cheaper than getting second hand on trade me. It's so quiet too. Bonus :)
I'm really happy to be in this place right now. Hopefully the dairy free thing will cause me to think and choose more wisely over the coming days and weeks. Manly Man made me some wonderfully scrummy carrot cake muffins last night - yummo.
I'm planning to check in a little more frequently from now on - more than once a month :P But not daily, I don't want to spend all the time doing that. And besides, this is a blog for me - you're just along for the ride :P

Ha ha - def out of practise.
Well more than that, Baby Chugger and I did do a wee dash up the isle for an 80th birthday bash (so we have reason to have been AWOL).
What to report......... ?
Weigh day today: 84.2 kg.
Total weight loss = 2.8 kg , 3.2%
I guess a loss is a loss, right? Well I'll take it anyway I can at the moment. Life seems to be so blimmen busy at the moment that even finding 40 odd minutes to get out for a walk is getting tough. Manly Man has been working in the big smoke a lot recently (and will continue to do so for a while to come) so can't be home before 5 much any more. Getting tea on the table and wrangling two chuggers takes priority at the moment.
*sigh*
I guess this journey is just going to be a whole lot longer than I anticipated.
Never mind, in for the long haul, right? !
The boring food bits:
I've been super deligent with the eating side of things today. Breakfast - standard. Lunch - two slices of grain toast with two boiled eggs (no butter or marge! but spread the bread with sauce instead), yoghurt and fruit. Snacks - fruit. Tea - sausage and pasta with veges and tomato based pasta sauce. Water - just the one cup - woah that's bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will do better tomorrow.
The boring exercise bits:
Got out for a walk today - yay. Tried really hard to be a whole lot more active around the house today too, getting up and down more rather than just sitting on my butt.
The boring mood bits:
Slightly on the plus side of average. (By the way, I don't have an issue with saying it's an average day, cause most of my days are average, a few are dolldrums type days and a few are spectacularly amazing - but, yeah, the rest are just average). I'm quite tired right now (twas a long weekend as I had to drive all the way in the rain on Saturday and then back on Sunday) so should sign off.
Tomorrow is going to be a great day!

Weigh Day
83.9 kg this morning. Woooooooooooooop!
That's a loss of 1 kg exactly this week. I'm really happy with that. Bring on this week I say.
Total weight loss is now 3.1 kg, a total percentage weightloss of 3.56%, in three weeks.
Stoked.

Week 2 Day 1
Weigh Day.....
Drum roll please......
Today I weighed in at 85.5 kg. That's a loss of 1.5 kg and a total percentage weight loss of 1.7%. (I hope you were reading that with your Biggest Loser voice)
There's not much happening around here today. I started to work on the vege garden but Baby Chugger woke up and ended that idea. The good news is that some of my seeds have started sprouting (letture and silver beet). I've picked two tomatos and one courgette today too. So that's some good garden progress.
On with the boring bits.
The boring food bits:
Breakfast was a little delayed as I had to feed Baby Chugger just after I woke, Little Chugger needed attention too (breakfast and dressed etc) and then we had someone arrive to do a quote for the roof insulation. I've had my treat today already (a peice of flapjack slice) as it was fast and would keep me going through till breakfast. Breakfast was at 10 - a bit too late for me really. But Weetbix it was, with light blue milk. An apple a little later on. Lunch was a lovely salad with egg, cheese and pumpkin seeds for protein. Yoghurt, banana and nectarine to follow this afternoon. For tea we are having Mexican style mince with rice and salad. I love this meal. Simple but nuticious. I'll do the recipe another time (I can hear baby Chugger calling me.....)
Water: Need to improve on this this afternoon.
The boring exercise bits:
A nice walk in the rain it will be this afternoon, when Manly Man returns from earning the crust.
The boring mood bits:
A great mood today. Hectic life and home and not much on etc but still good. I'm happy with how things are going in most areas of my life today. The house certainly looks lived in as all of our stuff from roof storage is in the lounge and hall. I'm ok with that though as we are making progress. Yay.
