My journey of weight loss and fitness and everyday things.

Life

Sunburnt and sore

Today’s daily food intake… Just a quick post tonight, we haven’t been home for long and I’m absolutely knackered. Had a very busy Australia Day today. Went to the national park and climbed Stamford Hill (will post pics tomorrow) and then went around to a really nice secluded beach while we were in the national park and went snorkelling, which was a first for me. I spent so long swimming against the current, that I’m sure I burnt a lot of calories, but I have no idea....

So many things to do, so little time

So right now I’m working on a few different things. I’m still trying to do the This That quilt test, while trying to find just the right fabrics to make the “official” quilt out of. I’m trying to find three different patterns to make somewhat matching quilts for a mini project – more to come on that later and I’ve become addicted to Mug Rugs. So yes, I have a few plans for them also… So many things to do, and that’s just the quilting. On top...

Challenges

1KM for each like
I pledged on Facebook that for every like I got I would walk, ride, run (shuffle/crawl) or swim 1km. So it turns out I got 72 likes from my Facebook status, I added a couple extra kilometres on for family and myself, bringing the total to 75km. This is to be completed by 20th February 2012.
05-01-2012: 6km done
06-01-2012: 2km done
07-01-2012: 16km done
09-01-2012: 8km done
17-01-2012: 5km done
Only 36km more to go.
2012 kilometres in 2012
Just another little challenge I took on, to walk, run, ride or swim 2012 kilometres in 2012. The 75km from above will be worked into the final total.

20kg lost (90kg)
Weekend away, not camping, but a hotel
30kg lost (80kg)
A splurge of quilting material

45kg lost (65kg)
GOAL WEIGHT
A complete new wardrobe and makeover and a trip to Fiji with my partner [which he still doesn't know about..... Must get around to warning him about this impending trip!]
