Flinders and Weight

Kanyaka Homestead

A couple of photos from my recent trip to the Flinders Ranges.

I took 731 photos all up. This amount is very conservative for me. I had no way of recharging camera batteries once I'd left Wilpena Pound so couldn't take many of the normal close-up shots. Here is just a taste.

Weigh-in

Weigh in this week was once more pleasing...91.05kgs, a loss of 700 grams. I am beginning to get excited now as it really looks like I'm going to be an 80's girl soon. Don't want to jump the gun yet though...

I think that helping my friend out is the best therapy ever for me as I am away from food sources all day. My food intake is always healthy, consisting of oats for a 3.45 am breaky, a choice of carrot, celery, fresh fruit, (apple, orange, kiwi fruit), and seeds/nuts/dried fruit for munchies throughout the day. Lunch usually consists of either half a 425 gram can of baked beans, or one or two boiled eggs, or a salad, all with a slice of rye bread. The night-time meal is always a healthy stir-fry or some other healthy dish prepared on my days off and by the time I've eaten a portion of that, I'm simply too tired to go looking for sweets or anything else, hence I have no chance to stuff anything un-healthy into my mouth and I am finding that I really and truly don't want to. My meal portions have well and truly halved or even more than halved for which I am really happy about. I was definately comfort eating. So you see, I have found myself in a position where 'cheating' simply isn't an option even if I wanted to.

I must admit that I am in a great mind set these days. I'm still getting a walk in on most days and though it's only for half an hour it is more intense as I don't want to fall by the wayside. All day long I am lifting, carrying, climbing in/out of the van, walking to and from drops, all of which gives me more exercise.

The Master returned from his 3 months sojourn last Wednesday and though he is his usual pessimistic self and complaining about the cold and lack of attention, I am working hard to hang on to my relaxed and happy outlook. I mustn't allow him to get me down again. We do these things to ourselves by allowing others to dictate our lives. I must stay strong...Being away from the house most of the time helps enormously.

I really miss all of my WWs friends but at least I'm still getting a chance to 'chat' now and again. Please accept my apology for not answering emails, I simply don't have time right now. I find that by posting in my blog, I am able to reach one and all at once.

Have a great day and Keep Smiling...toy. xoxo
