Doing the Happy Dance.....

Yes that's right I've been doing the happy dance since my WI this morning.

Today is a big day in my weight loss journey, I hit double digits and got my 5 kilo book mark today. I lost 800 grams this week to see my CW of 99.3.

(I restarted my weight loss journey on 30/05/2009 after losing 10 kilos in 2008 and then losing the plot)...

I did just miss my 5% goal and goal for July by 100 grams.....

Still doing the happy dance.... I'm so excited to finally be double digits again...

As a reward I bought myself some new shoes, its getting warmer in Sydney at the moment and I found this week I needed to start wearing sandles to work....

My MP3 player seems to have also died this morning, so I might just have to get myself a new one as my next reward.... Which will be for when I reach my holiday target weight... Might even look to see what the price difference is if I get it duty free when I go away compared to the retail price, but then again there is always sales....


Edit 6 p.m. Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Yes I am still walking to and from work and its an 8 km round trip. I walk this 5 days a week. I've also started back at the gym and so far I'm doing 3 x 30 min works outs per week. On saturday's I get up at 6.30 a.m. and go for an hour's walk and then I also walk to and from my weight watchers meeting (30 min walk each way). I also track what I eat and seeing I do so much exercise, about 50-60 points work per week, I've been eating between 15-2o exercise points per week. I've been doing this for a few weeks now and I've been having losses of 700 - 800 grams per week. Can't complain I guess.

Brad took another picture of me today at 99.3 kilos, which is below.




I've also started a weight loss journey picture album on my facebook page, that way I can see my progress photos next to each other and can see how far I have come. Since I started this journey in 2/08 I've lost 16.6 kilos. I've had plenty of ups and downs along the way and lost my way a few times, but I have never really given up. I am a lot healthier, happier and more active now than I have been in a very long time.
