Christmas Eve


Weigh in this morning and I've lost 800g.


I've decided to cook my ham today and am following a Nigella recipe. But my pot is too small!!!
Our friends from the UK arrive here today. We haven't seen them since June 2009. It'll be awesome to see them.
I've been loving my new gym. The program they've set me is great and the classes are fantastic. I'm loving being back at work too. Part time is great. Things are looking good in the land of Rach at last!!!!

1 week to Christmas :)

Weigh in today and despite sticking to my points, exercising lots and not drinking any booze I've lost 300g! I thought it would be more, I really did!! Oh well, 1 week to Christmas and I'm going to give it my all!!!


We've got a new addition to the family. Holly the kitten, she's 9 weeks old now.

Weigh in

No loss this week, but no gain either!!

I've joined a new gym and have been loving the classes there, that's really helping me get back to the "old" Rachel. But, I do feel that I have my mojo back. It disappeared for a while (I think it may have been drowing in wine!) but it's back. I'm going to stay off the wine and beer and try and blast these kilos off!!!

Blimey, it's so hot and stickey here I think I'll be sweating a few kilos off!!!

Off to wrap the Chrissie prezzies up this afternoon and then go to get my hair cut :)

Almost Chrissie!!!!!!

I'm getting so excited about Christmas!!! It always seems to come around too quickly!!!! We've got our special mates coming over from the UK on Christmas Eve, in fact, they're flying as we speak to Brisbane and then travelling down. I think they're spending about 1 month in Oz in all. It'll be so lovely to see them. They're spending almost a week with us.
We've been to Jacob's graduation from Pre School today. It was lovely. We also went to pick up his book pack and school bag from Primary School...very exciting!!






I'm also starting work next week part time. I'm doing Monday's and Friday's until Christmas and then Monday's Wednesday's and Friday's 9-2.30pm from January. I'm working back at Page 5, but in the accounts department. I'm so excited about it.

The new Weightwatchers program

Well, it's the start of the new ProPoints Weightwatchers program and I've been really looking forward to it as a new start. I really need to track everything!! I did a good job of tracking over the weekend, but did go over my points allowance quite a bit!!! BUT I'm racing down to 60!!!!!!!!

Weigh in

Whoops....gained 1kg, but it is that time, so I'm not too bothered!!!!

I've decided that I've been seriously kidding myself by not pointing properly, sneaking in biccies and finishing off the kids dinners! So from now on, everything is pointed!!! It's the only way!!! the new ProPoints program starts on Monday, so a new system should help me out too.

I'm on a race to 60kg now!!!

My New November

Well, I've had a few hiccups over the past few weeks, but am feeling great now!


Weightwatchers are changing their plan which I'm really looking forward to. I think I need something new to give me a kick up the butt and track!


We had an awesome weekend camping a few weeks ago and I went in to the ocean for the first time!!! I've always been so conscious of how I looked that I have never owned swimmers!! I can't believe what I've missed!!! It was sooooo much fun.



It's the countdown to Christmas soon!! Our friends Gill and Dave are coming over from the UK and spending Christmas with us, which will be awesome!

I'm determined to get these last 6kg off!!!!!! The last time Gill and Dave saw me, I weighed 95kg, so hopefully they'll be in for a shock!!
