ON A ROLL... I HOPE

Yep... I'm happy!
I lost 2 whole kilos this week... thrilled to bits I am.

And I didn't starve, I even had fish 'n' chips one night too!
And a couple of Bacardi and Coke's too!
AWESOME.

Today I'm going to check out another sewing machine... I've been talked out of the Janome... and into a Husqvarna. Apparently they are the best for the job. So, hopefully I can find a dealer here in Auckland who has them so I can check them out.

What else? Well not much for now....
ONWARD.....

So... I went out to get some white material to make a Frangipani Wall Hanging for SOMEONE'S Christmas Present.. did I get it? NOOOOOOO.... I got everything BUT the materail. DOH! Oh well, tis another day tomorrow.
I am now going to make myself a yummy salad for lunch... lettuce, carrot, spring onions, beetroot, boiled egg.... hmmmmm what else? Lunch was yum BTW!


After lunch I ironed onto my Seahorse's body some Swarovski crystals.. they are green and blue and sparkle like diamonds... shame is doesn't show up in the photo! It's even prettier now!

I'm going to start making the pattern for the Frangipani now...

End of Day: and I'm freezing! We had a hail storm a little while ago! I am sussing out ideas for the Frangipani pattern... materials I have etc..... I don't even like the idea of doing 'flowers'.... but it's not for me eh?

Dinner tonight is going to be evil.... fish 'n' chips.... but it's me ONE evil meal a week! I allow myself one meal a week that is evil... then I don't feel deprived! And I have all week to work it off before the next weigh in. WORKS FOR ME. nite nite.

  21. 2kg loss - with fish and chips - sounds a bit like heaven to me.

    Keep it rolling.

    I'll be up your way a bit for the next few months so I'll keep in touch and we can have a bit of a catch up.
