DAY 60! WEIGH IN AT LUNCHTIME

Ha ha!  Yesterday I asked Stew what he thought of my hairdo?  The 'bun' in particular.  

He said he liked it, it looked quite 'up market, classy, hoity toity' ... then he asked me why, what 'look' was I going for?

I said "I just want to keep it off me damn neck so I don't get so hot"!  lol

'Up market, classy or hoity toity' was definitely NOT the look I was going for, that's for sure.

I could never be classy!  For one, I just ain't into air's and graces!  Just ask ANYONE who knows me!

They would all agree.

Anyway... it's DAY 60!  OMG I am so excited.  I get to weigh in again today.  I hope for a loss.  I'm sure it will be a loss.  BEARING in mind it's not really about the NUMBERS... and more about how I feel.

Having said that, I ain't gunna lie and say it isn't IMPORTANT to me to see the numbers going down.

There has to be something keeping me accountable to myself, and the bloody scales are it I suppose.

I hate scales.  With a PASSION.  Mine better be a little bit nice today or I might just throw them out the door. Or smash them with a sledge hammer.

Who would love to do that once in ya life???   I might do it one day just to get the satisfaction.  

Check back in around 1 pm, then we will know what I lost these last 30 days!

WHOOPS!  Before I go... how about a comparison photo or two?

MARCH

MARCH

APRIL

I never thought of it before, but I am blessed with really FLAT ears!  Totally left-field observaton eh? ha ha ha!

Righty ho, better go make a start on the lunches, and get the kids off to school so I can finally wash me lovely floor!  I've washed 'bits' of it since it went down, but not the entire floor.  Today for sure it will happen!

AND... after watching Masterchef last night, Bex and I are both inspired to do some baking!  She is going to make a sponge and I'm going to make a Pavlova. 
That should satisfy my craving for something sweet!  We shall have them both for dessert tonight... then I can work towards another good 30 days.  

BLONDIE: re your question about the bra.  Yes, they do seem to be accurate.  Shop your top size seems to work.

ONWARD...

I have to share this:

PASSENGER.  Amazing group.  Backing band/singers for Ed Sheeran.  I've been listening to their music since a few days ago... I'm in love with their music.

I went down to the supermarket to get the FEW things I didn't have, to make me Pavlova.  And I must say it... this Pav better be amazing cos it cost $40 for the ingredients!  And I got home and whoops!  Ain't got any vinegar.  Bugger damn and blast!

All is not lost though, cos Steve and Bex are going down to the supermarket now as well.  I get to watch over Dante.  *smiles*  I love that.

My Pavlova is in the oven, and my Praline is cooling.  I've never made 'praline' before.  I probably did it wrong, but we will see!

Bex is dyeing her hair.  She's sick of being blonde apparently.  Hmmmm.... wonder what colour it will be?

ONE HOUR till weigh in...  and I can't wait!  I got on the scales:

5.5 kilos

12.1 pounds

in the last 30 days.

I am really happy with that, it takes my total loss so far to: 

13.5 kilos

29.7 pounds

in 60 days.

Now let's see what I can do in the NEXT 30 days!

I'm loving this.  I've not starved myself.  I've not gone without anything I really, really desired.  I've just watched my PORTIONS and have not eaten crap every day.  ONCE A WEEK I allow myself a treat.

I've still not had that Movenpik icecream either!

My weekly treat will be tonight when I have some of my pavlova and Bex's sponge.  That should satisfy any sweet craving eh?

Pav has come out awesome... can't say the same for the praline.  Made a 2nd batch... but if it doesn't set like toffee, I will have to make a 3rd lot!  Masterchef ... I AM NOT. *smiles*

I'm still on a real BUZZ after the weigh in! So happy with myself.  And yes, this ONWARD FOR LIFE PLAN is sustainable, and yes, I can live like  this forever.

So... the 2nd batch of praline was a flop too!  So... third attempt just competed and... it worked.  Yes sir'eeee... I did it!  Now it just has to set, then I can chop it up and stick it on top of me Pavlova later on.

Bex's first sponge came out BEAUTIFUL... and now she's making the 2nd one.  She decided to make two sponges, rather than try to cut one in half horizontally and perhaps botch it.  Clever thinking Chick.

I wonder if I HAVE to eat dinner?  I would much rather just skip right to dessert!

PENNY:  can you imagine me NOT taking a photo of the desserts?  I photograph EVERYTHING... you should know that!  lol
Once they are both totally finished, I will update with photos... JUST FOR YOU.

End of Day:  a fantastic day... so happy with myself.  And the scales live for another day! lol
Photos of our dessert will be tomorrow, I need something for tomorrow's post!
nite nite.
