rosemary from wangaratta

Back on the straight and narrow today with 10,810 steps and no real sins. Cos I finished the marzipan before I went to bed. Couldn't face 2 naughty days one after the other. Must be good tomorrow, weigh in monday morning How did you do today? Is it still too hot to do much outside? Or are you still armed with a paintbrush?

Rosemary, you keep posting all these pictures of sexy looking women on your page! Are you advertising for men in Oz? Oh, and hello, how are you doing?

Hi CG
you smotthie you ..... rotfl
doing really well thank you. been working hard and hoping the weigh in tomorrow is the reward.

Glad you have cooled a little bit and are able to walk in more comfort. The rain has stopped here for the moment but it has left the river bank too slippery for safety so you could say ' I'm walking the streets!'
Good luck at your weigh in, every little helps.
I only walked 4500 this morning but will try and walk the same again this afternoon. Off to make fresh fruit salad. Thats all I eat before lunch and I'm running (wish I actually could!) late.

WEIGH IN JANUARY 22nd
112.4 kgs loss .5 kg total 5.6kgs
WOOO HOOO
still pleased even though it has slowed this week.
I have continued my walking even though a couple of days were light walks after giving blood. going further each time if I can and walking faster, portions are getting smaller and the cravings are less AND I feel much better. just got to perservere.
cheers
water of course

Rose, Good on you. I wish I had the foresight to get fit and healthy before my 50th. Do you think I could loose 10kg by Sunday? LOL With all the birthday cake and goodies looming I have put off my start to a healthy new year until Feb 1. Hubby and I are both keen to lose some kilos and get fit before it is too late.
Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to more of your weight loss tips and stories.

Congrats, Rosemary and snap - we have both lost 5.6 Kg Never sounds much as kilos but it is still 12.2lb. My next target is to reach the stone gone. which is 6.3Kg. That figure looked so far away on Jan 1st and is now in sight. Maybe not this week but next for sure. I am ahead of my step challenge for Jan(250,000) needing only to average about 6500 a day till 31st.
Thank you for all your support, I think I may have succumbed to temptation more if it wasn't for letting you down if I did.

Mo
weigh to go WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO
great effort
bet you do feel heaps better.
I have just returned from a 6200 step walk which added to the 1500 walk I did earlier and my normal daily steps in between I reckon I have done enough today.

Way to go Rosemary! I'm still going to hang in there for a bit yet, I just wish it were a nice time of year for us. We got another 6 inches of snow Saturday (1/20/07) and could get another 2-3 today (1/22/07) so walking outside is dangerous, but I have been using the treadmill. I went to a birthday party Sat. night and drank club soda, my friends asked me if I was sick! I said no, just trying to follow in some footsteps that a shining example for me! Keep it up Rose, you inspire me

Yes Rose, the big one is this week. The visitors from interstate have started to arrive - 3 yesterday, 1 today, 1 on Thursday and another on Friday. By the time I get to Sunday and turn 50 I will be exhausted and probably feel like I'm 80 instead. Then we will be lonely because they will all be going home by Monday afternoon at the latest.

Rosemary, I raise my glass of water very high to you. You have done an outstanding job and I'm so very proud of you and the others on this site who are doing a great job. I include myself too. What I'm really proud of, in addition to my progress, is that I still have half of that 3 oz candy bar left. I'm going to treat myself over the next two weeks with it. That's got to be a record, a 3oz chocolate bar lasting three weeks.lol Keep on doing it right and I will surely see 'less' of you. Peace!

I only managed 6289 steps today as we had freezing rain all day and now it is snowing. Also Houpette my dog appears unwell. If no better in the morning we'll be off to the vet. She just wants to sleep.

Poor Houpette
she is exhausted, hope you havent worn her out Mo!

Morning Rose, well you are sleeping right now, but I just read your comment on my page about being at a harder part because of the weight loss the past 6 months, so I am sticking with that theory! I really did think about that and hope that is what is happening. Thanks for all of your support!

Rosemary, I sincerely believe that you are destined for sainthood! To be able to disperse so much support and cheer to everyone else as you are undergoing your own challenges, is a wonderful thing to behold! Good luck with your own quest, and bless you for making everyone else's a bit easier! XO

Congrats Rose on your weight loss success, and thanks for encouraging us all!

WOOHOO- kicked you over to a new page!

I'm feelin' a little teary eyed after reading your comment and others', and all of the support on my personal page and I come here to tell you about it, and I see CP's comment and it made me laugh..just struck a cord and now I'm LOL'ing. hahaha. oh, well that's good I guess.
Laughter can be the best medicine.
Thanks for your support and thoughts, I really do appreciate it. You are awesome rosemary

Rose: Just viewed your pictures. If you go to that bridge in New zealand and bungy jump several times you might save a few days in your weight loss program!

Rosemary, Just a pop in to let you know that I'm thinking of you and to let you know how much you are thought of with appreciation every time I get on the scale and see it go down another notch. Cheers and a grateful hug for a job well done all around.

Hi Rosemary,
Thanks for visiting me. I am also on this site since its very beginning , but I am quite silent . Nevertheless I do enjoy it a lot and since we have our page I've started to communicate more . What a nice place you have !Thanks for the treat . Next time you visit I will bake some tasty Hungarian pie for you .

Rose just in case you weren't aware..its Saturday the 27th Jan 2007! rofl

Guess what rose its Sunday! 28/01/07 rofl

Angie
thank you for reminding this poor old brain what day of the week it is.

Thanks for all the encouragement. Are you still walking and swimming or do you alternate? I've had to invest in another pair of boots as the snow and rain finally rendered mine non waterproof and there is nothing worse than walking in wet feet(inside the boots)

Hi Rosemary just dropped in for a beer.cheers.
Nice place you have. Happy birthday to Judy and to everyone else having a birthday today.Have a great day

29/1/07 Monday Weigh in day
weight 111.9 LOSS .5 kg
total weight loss for 4 weeks 6.1 kgs.
loss for 4 weeks
boobs 7 cms
waist 7 cms
butt 6 cms
thigh 4 cms
moving down to the next size of clothes that my wardrobe holds .... I have got all the sizes

feel much fitter and healthier, walking further each day in a quicker time or doing lots of aerobics in the pool.
still a long, long way to go but off to a great start with major changes to the type of food I eat, how much I eat and when I eat. Drinking buckets of water and much less diet coke.
thank you all for the support so far and I know this is going to get tougher but with everyone pushing us along we can all do this.
cheers
water of course

G'Mo
yes I will need to invest in new walking shoes ... have worn the first pair out.

Terrific, Rosemary, congratulations. Sorry for starting all the ''lost day'' stuff with my post. To console you, Mr P did it too. We had daughter and SIL over for tea on Friday, and after they left, settled down to watch telly, and Mr P disappeared outside, came back in and sat down. I had a bit of a think about where he'd been and why could that be and said ''You know it's not Saturday, don't you?''. He was a bit perplexed for a minute, then said ''Oh, so that means I can't put the sprinklers on tonight, can I?'' He was confused for most of the weekend too. lol

Hi Rose? How did you enjoy the tennis? I was disappointed with the Federer/gonzalez match after the first set, but enjoyed seeing Serena claw her way back.

One year we should try to get to Wimbledon on our birthdays!

Fran
sounds like a wonderful idea for one year.

CP
at least I wasnt the only one confused. lol
not your fault I was confused CP and made for some funny postings.

rosemary, your progress is impressive. Well done, and I can't thank you enough times for getting this all going, because it sure got me going.

Rose - 6.1kg ! WOW. Well Done.

I wish I was doing as well............never mind - the 4+ kg are still off. I took A to karate training last night and everyone was asking when I was coming back. I told them 6 more kg (just so I can fit back in to my Ghi), so a couple of them have given me 6 weeks and then they're coming around to drag me back to training. lol.

Col
you are still doing fine and back on track to work soon and the kids to school.
you will be into karate before no time at all.

Hey Rosemary,

Congrats on the Weight loss. A good start, and a great achievement.

Keep up the good work!!!

Hello Rosemary!

Since you asked, I am having a pretty disgusting year so far! I have to keep reminding myself that in the scheme of things all are just minor setbacks, and I am not hungry homeless or terminally ill, and none of my loved ones are either.

In the last week alone good thing a friend lent us her car because she needs to get the miles up on it for tax purposes, so we drove up to sydney and back and spent five days up there. Bad things: put my husband's new mobile phone through the washing machine (christmas present from me, now totally useless), pen leaked into my runners, so every time I wear them I get a bright blue foot (despite bleaching them), and worst of all, decided to stop at Glenrowan and then Milawa trying to find the perfect foodie present for our friend who lent us the car, and somewhere in this vicinity the ruby fell out of my engagement ring (so small not worth looking for). I know it's only a stone, and in the scheme of life a blah, but I feel like crying every time I look at my ring - Al my husband says it's been there for so long it's time for another anyway but that's not the point.

Time to start job hunting now. I got nervous in the last interview and started cracking jokes again, needless to say I didn't hear from them again!

Hope all is well for you

Brilliant weight loss Rose, keep it up!! Our weather is changing a little now so I have no excuse not to crawl up that blooming hill, why don't they put stannah stair lifts on all hills??? My knees are getting gashed maybe I should try the walking thing..
p.s. If you see Fran, tell her I know she has my chocolate!!

sorry rose, just looking for that ball!!!!!!!
where or where is it?

HELP!!!!!!! For some reason, my dog is going nuts trying to find a rubber ball! He's possessed!
