What a week… Again!

It’s just been another one of those crazy weeks (and weekends) as the year draws to a close… So busy I haven’t had a chance to blog… As I blog; I’m sitting at 34,000ft on my way to Hobart for Sunrise. I should be doing some work, but I thought I’d just do a quick post…


What’s been happening? It’s been crazy on the work front with long days all week, getting ready for this Hobart Trip, Sydney V8’s and other projects and day to day crap… The yesterday, while I was on a “pre” catch up day (a day you do to cover what you’d otherwise have to catch up on) I got the call to do a “courier” tip to Melbourne to pick up some gear that was needed in Sydney first thing this morning… there went my catch-up day. Booked my flights at 2pm for a 3.30 departure to Melbourne, before collecting the gear and getting on a 6pm flight back to Sydney, finally getting home at 9.30pm; after dropping the gear at Epping.


One thing I noticed yesterday was how much more comfortable flying is being nearly 30kg lighter (and smaller). No longer do I have to suck my gut in when the tray table comes down, and even working on the laptop on the flight is easier… my sides don’t even touch the armrests anymore, let alone hang over them… Looking in the mirror again this morning I’m really starting to like what I’m seeing.


Ditch the carbs… truly its worth it… After my disappointing weighing last Wednesday where I put on 1/2 a kilo, I started eating salads. Tuesday I had already started with a Greek Salad with Tuna (yum – the Tuna just added that bit of protein); then Wednesday Bathie made a nice chicken & baked pumpkin green salad when I went to give her a bit of a helping hand with her computers, and it just snowballed from there… at least 1 healthy sized salad a day with a bit of protein, and limit carbs to 1 meal… and its worked… I weighed myself this morning and I was 104kg…


Add to this I’m finally getting my water requirements down pat and that’s also helping…. I’m having a bottle of water BEFORE breakfast then one in the morning and another in the afternoon at least; and that’s also helping with the nibble cravings. I’ve even treated myself a couple of times with some “healthy” sweets. There are times that you still need your sugar hit, but if you keep it sensible, it won’t affect your weight loss…


Must go… they are starting to “prepare the cabin for landing “


Until next time…
