Extra motivation

I haven't really lost any weight over the last couple of weeks. I did get a call from the weight reduction club asking if I would be interested in entering a competition.

I had to supply a photo and sign the form. I am a wee bit competitive, so it will be great motivation to get my butt back into gear.

This is a picture of me 4kg lighter than the original picture. I still have a long way to go!!!

Too hard basket

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband. ~Michel de Montaigne, Essays

This quote has me so upset! Why? Call it the analyst in me, the worrier, the compassionate :-( I am sure the quote was written in jest, and well, of course I had to try and analyse it! I am trying to put myself in this situation. I can hear him moving but cannot see him, how do I find him, I could yell, but he would not hear.
He can see me but not speak clearly to me. I can hear but not pass on news or information if I cannot see to write it to him (well just use a lot of paper if I go blind at this stage of life) :-( Please God never let me lose my sight! I know it's just a quote, but oh my god, what a mind burn. I gave Dave an extra big hug and kiss tonight.

I saw the Oprah show recently with the Mum of the worlds only deaf and blind triplets. I can't stop thinking about her or the lives of those poor little girls. I gave the girls an extra big hug and kiss that afternoon.

Slow and Steady

As it turns out I was heavier than I thought! When I started Weight Reduction Club my start weight was 79.9kg. I thought I was 77kg.
After two months I weighed in this morning at 76kg even. I am averaging 500g a week, which is what is recomended. I am just impatient! LOL I have managed to be the runner up loser of the month both months - and that gets me a smiley button to put on my ribbon :-)
I was also given a paint pallet this morning for losing 1/2 stone. Now for each stone I lose I get a gemstone. Looking forward to getting my first one - only 2.2 kg to go.
