Fitness Challenge: Week 7

Has it been that long already?!!

I am down one more KG :) That means I've lost FIVE!!! Awesome :) And only 2 or 3 more till I qualify for my fabulous new skinny outfit! :) I seriously should've done a before and after picture, except, 'Shame!!' lol :)

I love working out.

I had a dessert night with my sisters (and dessert-night crashing brother ;)) on Saturday night and was disappointed to find that my unconquerable appetite for chocolate seems to have diminished. I only ate one profiterole, a little bit of chocolate mousse and a little bit of ice cream and I felt a bit sick! How awful! Am I going to be one of those people who can't eat a whole block of chocolate in one sitting and be keen to go back for more?! Will I need to eat real food before I feel like dessert?! Will really rich desserts be 'too much' for me?! Am I losing myself?!!! Sigh.. Eating chocolate has always been something I'm incredibly good at, and now I feel it slipping away! :S

And my exciting news: I joined a netball team :) First game tomorrow night!! I don't know if I'll be any good at all but the team already let me in, lucky! :) I LOVE playing actual sport, but lately I've been a bit too pregnant to keep up with it, so I thought I'd grab this between-pregnancy opportunity and jump on in!! Yay!!! :)

Oh and just a few ways I'm saving money:

- Chocolate. Or the absence thereof (again, sigh..)
- There are less of my legs to shave, so I'm pretty sure I'm saving on razors...I am also saving on time...
- I am eating smaller portions at dinner, so James gets more leftovers for his lunches, so I don't have to pack as much other stuff for him (the boy needs like a trolley to carry his lunch, sigh)

5 weeks to go until I can eat chocolate whenever I want to again!!.....If I do....sigh...

But it's good.. it means less dimples on your butt and less pimples on your face :) Have you tried out that dvd yet? I hope you like it like I do! :) So proud of your efforts, you look great! It's amazing how much just a couple of kilo's changes the way you look & feel.. less frumpy & more.. tight! :) Good on ya!; August 22, 2011 at 10:07 AM

(Your post is like a cross between the Sports channel, 'Biggest Loser', 'Days of Our Lives', and the cooking channel. I feel like I should be eating popcorn while I read.. Or maybe I'm just hungry :)
Yay for the fabulous new skinny outfit! :)

Quoted...

“Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves." - James Barrie (author of Peter Pan)

"In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us, and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers." - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf (Second Counselor in the First Presidency).

A bit about me...

My name is Abby, and I'm married for eternity to the fabulous James. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we live in QLD, Australia. I was a primary school teacher which I loved, but now have been blessed to become a mother!! I have 2 little girls and a boy due early next year. More than anything I love being at home doing wife/mum things :) I play the viola, I love music and sports and food and spending time with our friends, and most of all, my family. I am a sister 9 times, an auntie 4 and a half times, and a countless cousin and niece of wonderful families (both mine and my husband's). I hope I can share some of the faith, hope, happiness and love I have been blessed with, with you.
