A good week!

I lost 1 kg (2.2pds) this week!! That may not sound like a lot to some of you, but that's pretty good for me, especially as I think the lower you get, the harder you have to work to get it off. I made a decision to try and eat as well as I could, cut out most of the crap and I didn't even up my exercise intensity. It's 6 weeks until my birthday and I want to lose 6kgs in 6 weeks. I stuffed up my calculations and now I only have to lose 5kgs in the next 6 weeks so that's nice to have up my sleeve. The good news about this is that it means I am official over 100 pounds weight loss (102) - yay!!! I am also getting close to 50kg weight loss - 46.4kg at the moment. I'm getting close to the 70s too. Probably haven't been there since I was a teenager, that is incredible to me. It's funny that all the milestones come pretty close together.

The new job is going really well. All the people are nice and I'm slowly getting a handle on what the hell it actually is that I'm supposed to be doing! I even got paid for 3 days yesterday when I thought it wasn't going to be until next Tuesday so that was a bit of a bonus!

I think I'm developing a bit of a shopping obsession! I can't help myself! I've been buying quite a few new clothes of late and went to the shops again today and brought a few more tops. I'm not worried about it, I'm enjoying the fact that I can actually find things, it's all very new to me!! Bring it on I say!!

I brought a new house in October last year and spent quite a bit of money renovating it. Now that it's all done, I've decided this is the year for renovations on myself!! :) I've been wearing contact lenses since I was about 14 so I want to get eye laser surgery done, I so want to look at the clock radio in the middle of the night and know what time it is!!! I also want to get my teeth whitened and plastic surgery. As controversial at it is, I feel like I need to do it to complete the journey. The more weight I lose, the more loose skin that appears :( One of the worst areas are my arms, I don't even feel like I can wear singlet tops because I don't feel comfortable with the bat wings flying around! I don't want to have to go through all of this and not feel like I can wear bloody sleeveless tops, that's just crazy!!!! Bloody genetics, bloody age and bloody being overweight for so long! I knew it was going to be unavoidable. Aaarrggghh. It's a bit of a way off though so we'll see what happens later on.

Hope everyone's journey is going fabulously!
