Oh Exciting, my first post.
A quick run-down on me....They call me Nic, I'm 37 (ouch), and live in Wellington, New Zealand. I am married to Paul (10 year anniversary this year) and Mum to Connor (9 next week) and Jordyn (7 next week) very scary to see those numbers increase. I work part time for a trust and my job (which I just love) is to audit that our funds have been spent correctly by the recipients. I love reading, watching movies and TV and Genealogy.
I have been doing Weightwatchers since 17 October last year. I joined up at 97.3 kg after following the South Beach Diet for about 3 months...I lost 5 kg's doing that and then seemed to plateau, at which point I decided to switch to Weightwatchers before I lost the drive I had to get rid of these unwanted kilos. I am now at 79.3 and happy with my progress. I still have a bit to go and am hoping to get back into full swing by the end of May.
My Mother-In-Law has been visiting from England since November and she leaves in 3 weeks. It has been a real help having her here for the Weightloss for many reasons...the main one being that I had have had to behave for 6 months as there was no way I was going to fail while she was here, also it has meant many meals made have easily spread between three when hubby and I probably would of normally polished it off, this portion control thing is something I will have to be very viligant of when she leaves and it is back to cooking for just us. We have not had takeaways since July last year (the kids haven't missed out) and haven't really missed it much.
I found great motivation from doing a 101 things to do in 1001 days, I have found it so great to help me set goals and then try to achieve them and get them crossed off the list, hopefully I will be able to upload here soon.
Watched 'The Notebook' last night with the MIL, I had already seen it once before and remembered it being a good movie but also that I had a huge cry. Nothing has changed, I still enjoyed it and once again cried away, I had a headache by the end. I was pleased to see afterwards while browsing the Internet Movie Database that the girl from the movie is to star in a new movie soon which is being made from an awesome book I read a couple of years ago called "The Time Travellers Wife", can't wait for that one to come out it was an awesome story.
I am usually pretty good with my eating but on the odd occassion (birthdays, babies, last days, and absolutley any other reason that can be dragged up) we get in a really rich but yummy Chocolate Cake at work and today was one of those days. As we said our farewells to one of the guys leaving work for Chocolate Cake free pastures we stuffed ourselves and it tasted great (but very very evil, especially now that I have worked out my points for the day).
