second WI down.... phew! (also known as... Yay I survived Australia Day!) heh

my second weigh in is down, and i'm pretty damn excited... i managed to lose 1.7kgs this week to bring my grand total to 2.9kgs lost so far... i feel good, like i'm in control and it's me that's doing it... when i was on Jenny Craig i really felt like i didn't have the control, i just ate the frozen portions that they told me to, ate the snacks that came with that days menu plan... and yes i lost weight, but it came back when i stopped doing that program...

i also feel pretty happy that i was able to have a few treats, that all were managed into my points and not once this week did i feel like i had deprived myself of anything... i'm becoming a healthier more aware person when it comes to my choices and the biggest change in the way i do things is making sure i have a nice portion of vegies with every dish that i serve... in the before time we used to just have chilli con carne as it was, the meat etc... this time it was all that plus a nice load of vegies, much more balanced and nicely filling.. =) yay me!

work went back yesterday, and although the kids don't start until Monday it was still quite tiring... getting back into the swing of things and driving the hour each way... ugh... i was almost asleep standing up when i got home! lol and today Demi and i spent most of the day shopping and re-filling our depleted pantry/freezer/fridge supplies.... it always happens around school holidays, we eat ourselves out of house and home and then i have to do a big restock... this time at least we've been eating ourselves healthily out of house and home! =)
