My so-called lapband life

One fat chick’s journey to thin-dom

Update Week 31

Hello all.. is there anybody out there?

This week I lost 1.1kgs which I’m stoked about… although my lovely monthly ladies appeared a week earlier than scheduled (what’s with that?) so I’m sure that would have helped!

Last Sunday I did the John Hughes Big Walk around the Swan River – 17kms (allegedly – I actually think it was about 15). My aim was to do it in around 3hrs so I was stoked to complete it in 2 hrs 32mins.

Other than that my exercise this week has been pretty ordinary. My back was really sore on Monday and Tuesday so didn’t do anything. Played squash with GB on Wednesday – finally won one game! I was a squash superstar! Yesterday had a hair dressers appointment after work so no exercise and tonight none either. Got a mad weekend…actually the next week and a half is mad! GB’s birthday is on Thursday so we have lots of festivities happening. Me guessing me weigh in not going to be good next week!

Oh well that’s all… PLEASE COMMENT!

Weigh In: Week 30

Well lost 900g which isn’t bad I guess.  I just feel like I’m stagnating.  I have an appt with Watson’s new Dr Fill at the end of November (wanted mid November but he’s on leave). I’m still hungry in the mornings and eating too much and it’s taking all my will power not to stuff my face!

Just came out of my job interview. I’ve been acting in the position for over 12 months and the applications were due in early July but because I was off in Europe they delayed interviewing till now. As always, you kick yourself when you leave because you think of other things you should of said but overall I think it was ok. I only got questions on one of the questions which I guess I didn’t answer that well but ugh I hate those things especially when the panel are all people you know so you have to restrict the level of BS. Oh well all out of my hands now.

OMG the best thing happened to me this week. I got an iphone! I can’t recall if I said before but my blackberry phone met an unfortunate end in London so have been waiting for the Travel insurance dudes to assess it all. I thought they’d just buy me another blackberry but they decided to send a cheque instead so I’m paying out my blackberry contract and am now one with the iphone. It’s the best thing ever. Yeah ok it doesn’t do MMS and typing texts with touchpad is a learning experience but I LOVE IT.

Hope everyone else is well,

Em

1hr 6min 28sec

That’s the time I walked the 7km JDRF walk. My best time yet! Before that I think the best I’d ever walked that route was about 1hr 10mins. So I’m super stoked about that time. This morning when I woke up though my lower back was quite sore. Still I decided to walk to work as this week is supposed to be lovely weather. Last year when I was walking to work the quickest I did it was 33mins. Today was just over 37mins but I know I can walk faster, but my back was sore so it was slowing me down. Plus my ipod earphones were only working in one ear and you know what kind of effect one-sided music can have on a person!

Weight wise.. ugh… last week I put on 300g. Poop. I’m just eating too much I know I am. Anyway will see how I go this week. I have to get my mind set back into not eating for the hell of it. Still have had a few big dodgy and painful PB’s lately so not sure if I want more fill in.

Anyhoo, please keep commenting – I like to know who’s out there reading!
