Thank god for that!

Had another decent loss of 600g this week. Biggest loss I've had in a few weeks and it keeps me inching towards that 30kg mark! I need to lose 700g to make it and I'm determined to do it next week! Had an ok week, well it started off ok at least. Had a work dinner on Friday night, had a bottle of wine and a beer but the food was Lebanese and mainly grilled meat, vegies and salad so I behaved myself relatively well with that. Here's a couple of photos from the night - I'm not sure they're all that flattering, but I'll put them up for you to have a laugh at anyway! I still haven't done the full length shot, I'll try and do that soon!

Sunday into the city to watch hubby do his 9km Bridge Run. Started off ok as I had to park miles away near Oxford St and pretty much ran from there to Circular Quay so I wouldn't miss him finishing! Met up with some friends after that and wandered around the markets. All was fine until we sat down for lunch. I ordered a steak sandwich thinking I'd just eat that and leave the chips. Good plan. Until the waiter stuffed up our order and thought I'd ordered just a bowl of chips. He left them there while they made a steak sandwich for me and as it was midday by that point and I hadn't eaten as we had left home at 6am, I did have a few. Not too many, but more than I should have probably had! That should have been enough. But then I got 2 krispy kreme donuts on the way back to the car that afternoon.....woopsy!!! Monday and Tuesday I was pretty sick so my exercise regime pretty much fell by the wayside. So all in all, I'm pretty happy to have lost 600g!

On Sunday I decided that I'd had enough of just sitting back and watching my hubby do these fun runs, so next year I'll be joining him...god help me! So on Tuesday I downloaded the c25K podcasts and will be starting that this afternoon. I can run at the moment for about 15 minutes, but I need something structured and someone telling me when I can stop to keep me going. It says I should be running 5km in 9 weeks so fingers crossed. I figure since I haven't been doing any running lately, that should help me get rid of the 700g I need by next week. Here's hoping at least!

Hubby and I are going down to Bowral on Sunday for the tulip festival. Should be a good day and plenty of walking around so that should help get things moving as well. I soooo don't have a green thumb, I kill most things I ever attempt to look after in the garden, but I absolutely love looking at gardens and especially tulips.

So all in all, I'm looking forward to a really positive week, a week where nothing I don't need will pass my lips! Bring on the 30kg mark, seriously I'm soooo over chasing it!!!
