Under 80

Another milestone reached - I am under 80kg! I hit 79.9kg on Saturday night, but wanted to be a little further under before I made it official, and today I am 79.7kg, so I think that will do it!

My measurements are down again since measuring in April - Chest is 103cm, Waist is 105cm and Hips at 110cm. My neck measurement is now 35cm!

Not much else to add except that I am off to State Youth Games this weekend which is basically three days of non-stop sport, which will certainly burn a few calories and get my body moving!

Stable weight

I've been quite slack on the exercise front for the last couple of weeks since the Relay for Life. It just got so cold all of a sudden! Not surprisingly, my weight loss has stalled at the same time. I'm not too concerned about it, but I do need to start getting back into a routine, even if it is just once a week hitting the gym.

The biggest thing I have found recently is how cold I am! I guess when you lose 45kg and you don't have the padding of your body weight, you feel the outside temperature a lot more, but I really didn't expect to feel frozen all day every day. I have invested in lots of scarves, jackets and gloves to get me through the train trip and sitting in my freezing office all day, and have already had the heater on at night at home. I even bought my first electric blanket for my bed to help cope with the temperature change a little better! Not sure what I'm going to do when the cold weather really hits - it's hard to believe it's still only Autumn, Winter hasn't even arrived yet!

I've had a couple of meals that haven't sat right with me over the past few weeks, mainly because I have eaten too fast which continues to be my downfall. I am definitely learning more and more about what capacity I have and being able to gauge how much food is enough. There is a very small margin of error between feeling like I've almost had enough, to -OMG that was too much and I need to vomit.

Current weight as of today is 81.6kg with jeans and a jumper on (I'm not stripping off in this cold for my usual underwear weight!). So that is probably around the 81kg mark, which is slow, steady and reasonable. Love my sleeve!

Progress Photos

Today's weigh in - 82.2kg, so I've stayed pretty steady over the last week or so. Also my body fat percentage is finally under 40%, cracking 39.9% on my scales today! I know it has only been 6 weeks since my comparison photos, and there isn't a whole lot of difference, but I thought I'd be proactive and get them up now at the beginning of the month.

Also some other not very glamorous photos of me from the past week

My style - ASOS tunic, funky Dorothy Perkins leggings, cheapo boots and a Sussans belt to cinch it in

David Lawrence dress and Portmans denim jacket. with opaque tights. The denim jacket was just for the ride home as it was starting to get a bit nippy
This one is a big deal for me to post - new bathers. I can point out all the things I hate about this picture, but I'm being brave and posting it. Bathers are by Seafolly, a steal at $20 including postage new from Seafolly's ebay store. And to make it even sweeter, they are a size 16!
