Week 23 - Weigh In

Last week - 72.5kgs
This Week - 72.7kgs
GAIN - 200g

OMG my first ever weekly gain. :-0 I know I should be shocked but i'm really not. We've been on school holidays away at the beach and diet and exercise were pretty much the last thing on my mind. I needed some 'ME' time, and time off all the counting. I really missed the lack of exercise, and can't wait to get back into it this week though. I seriously need to work on my organisational skills, and get some kind of routine happening. I'm not very good in that department!

I got the new implanon put in on Wednesday just gone. Until today, all i saw was gain, gain, gain. I was FREAKING OUT! I know the increased hormone is going to mess me around for a couple of weeks, but i AM going to beat this and still continue to lose weight with it in.

I've decided to stop doing my measurements every week, and am going to do them every month from now on. The reason being is that now i'm getting smaller, I'm not seeing the big numbers that I used to, and it gets me down. I know that the numbers are going to get smaller, but when it starts to play with your mind it's time to take a break!

On other news, during my holidays it was my birthday and I went clothes shopping! I ended up coming home with SIZE 12 CLOTHES!!! I don't think i'm quite there in the pants department just yet, but it won't be too far off. At the beach I tried on a pair of my Mum's size 8 pants. 6 months ago i couldn't get an 18 up over my thighs and done up, so imagine mu surprise when i got these on!!! Now it certainly wasn't flattering, and they were TIGHT, but they were ON. lol. This then prompted me telling my mother i was coming to get her and soon her cool wardrobe was going to be invaded by me. She was pretty excited about that, she can't wait till we are able to share clothes again.

A week later, I come home after our holiday, to find 2 garbage bags full of Mum's clothes waiting for me on my bed! Even before our conversation, she had taken all the clothes that she didn't want, and left them for me! Some people might think i'm silly for wanting to wear my mothers clothes, but she dresses pretty cool for a 50 year old. I always told her that I had to dress how she is meant to dress, and she dressed how I was meant to dress, so now i can start to look young and funky again too, and not like a grandma! Most of her clothes were a size 10-12, and i can get a few of them on, and hopefully it won't be too long till i can get ALL of them on.

I think that is just about all my news over the last 2 weeks! All caught up!
