3rd but still a winner

So I went to the presentation and prize giving and final weigh in on Friday night. We weighed, thank goodness they didnt make us weigh in front of everyone ala biggest loser :) It was actually so much fun laughing and joking with the girls, for our final weighin... I managed to lose another 2 kgs, despite being sick, and not exercising for 2 weeks. Bringing my grand total to 19 KGs... which is roughly 9.6% of my body weight which i lost... I think that is bloody marvelous.. I came third... Belinda, the girl whose blog I am following came first... So proud of her, she deserves it, she was so dedicated, and she lost so much weight, she lost 14% of her body weight. Jerry came second... I won R1000 runner up prize and a years gym membership to body future. I had the weekend off, where I ate what i wanted, but quite frankly i couldnt stomach that much, and the heartburn was unbearable... so back to healthish eating this week. I say ish because if I feel like something, I'm not going to deprive myself of it... but i will be healthy.. I need to go back to gym, somehow find the energy... :) I refuse to backslide to where I was... I have to move forward.. thin is my goal.. and I want to be there before i'm 30... well ideally before the end of next year.. but we need to be realistic.. there is 4 months left in this year.. so technically if i follow this pattern I could in essense lose another 20 kgs before the end of the year... hopefully more, but Slow and steady wins the race.. :)
Will keep updating my blog but not as frequently as I have been.. only when I have news..
Thank you all for all your support, encouragement and sometimes threats and cajoling.. I couldnt have done it without you...
love you all

its been awhile

Sorry it's been awhile... Since my last update, I've lost another 2kgs bringing my grand total to 17kgs... Though I have been sick, I booked off gym for 2 weeks, so 2 weeks of exercise did not happen, giving my competitors a great advantage... I'm sorry to say I really dont think i am going to win the competition. Also this week, being our last week of competition, Monday we exercised and it was great. and then yesterday, I was getting ready to go to gym when Aiya ( the receptionist at Body Future) phoned to say a water pipe had burst and there was no gym... and Friday is supposed to be the award ceremony but now I don't know where it is going to be, because it looks like Body Future is moving to their new premises early... No one is telling us anything... Very bad communication. This week is madness. It is one of my best friends Michelle's 30th Birthday party this weekend, I've offered to make her a novelty cake for her birthday, and the topper fell and smashed into a million bits yesterday... So that adds a huge amount of stress.. I managed to make another one, but its not as great as the previous one, its still beautiful but not as great. Plus this week, being today and tomorrow, I need to work, go shopping for drinks and meat for the weekend, buy and put together thank you gifts for the body future gang, make michelle her other present, bake the cake, ice it, pack, pack the car, clean and sort out my car, go for a wax and a pedicure, and go for the awards ceremony. Oh and somehow fit in sleep :) but it should all work out fine... Everyone is asking me what my plan is for after the competition. I think everyone is so scared that i'm going to back slide to fatdom :) No worries, I have no plans to backslide... I want to take up archery.. dont know how much exercise that gives you.. but ive always wanted to do it.. also wouldnt mind taking up a martial arts, but i think i need to be slightly fitter... those people are so fit... and crazy.. :) hehehehe
I walked up Rhodes Memorial on Sunday to watch the athlone towers implosion... despite still being sick i only had to rest twice.. or 3 times I can't remember.. but I think with practice it will get much much easier...
anyway... Will tell you my final weightloss when i find out...

bugger bugger snot and trane

Oh nooooooo, I'm up a kilo... Not tooo worried, my Cm's are down, and I think it might be water retention due to that time of the month.. but I didnt do my cardio on Tuesday and Thursday.. This means this week I need to seriously SERIOUSLY move this butt of mine... only 3 weeks to go... eep... need to move it move it.. ( think madagascar.. I like to move it move it.. I like to.. Moooove it!)
anyhoo...
Sorry about that loyal supporters... at least its not 3 kilos up.. I must try to remember how far Ive come..

Good work last week

I did very well last week, I stuck to my diet and I lost 2.8 KGs... which means I am down 15.8 KGs in total so far. Which means I am only 9.2 kgs away from my goal for the competition, I need to move my butt... I took a photo today, in the same clothes I wore for my first pic of the competition.. also a side view.. you can definately see the difference between the two. By my calculations I only have 4 more weeks left of the competition including this one.. which mean that in order to reach my competition goal of 9.2 kgs I need to lose an average of 2.3 kgs a week... phew, I know Ive done more in the past but pressure like that freaks me out.. Now I'm nervous!
