Hi everyone

its been so long since I posted! un believable how fast life is going

I have been busy helping Damian with the Tour and then the retreat and of course work and all that comes with that. My Gran has also been really sick and had a major operation 10 days ago of which she has had complication after complication. So unfair to put her through all that and then today to see her fading away from us. There is nothing medically that will be causing her to go except that she weighs next to nothing and has no energy and hasnt had any real nutrition for days. She didnt want to be feed and one dumb arse doctor agreed so today i was battling for her to be feed. Finally got it sorted and she is on a food drip, should see an improvement in the next 24 to 72 hours. I was not going to watch my gran starve to death no matter how old she was…!!

Okay now on a personal side ,, i have been so busy looking after everyone else so I have put myself on the back burner which is excatly what I tell the challengers not to do so to lead by example I am back on track in the morning including back on track with food and exercise. Have planned out my meals for the week and seeing it will be mainly up at the hospital i will be pre paring them in the morning. Will see if i can talk Garry into going and getting the stuff I need while I walk to Sunmer and Back. that means I would have got both things out of the way in the same time frame.

I read all the challengers blogs today and they were very inspiring and amazing,It is so hard not to write on everyones blogs but i have to resist as with all the emails I do to reply to everyones each day would take up so many hours, I have over 50 challengers to look after and reading their blogs takes a lot of time let alone all the other stuff so if you are a 112 day challenger and reading this…I think you guys are fantastic and anyone on the challenge who doesnt blog and comment is mad! its such a cool thing to do,lets you dump each night as i have done and also get inspired at the same time

I am going to have a great week!

go hard everyone!

I am going to start putting Judys Journey up on my www.SheSucceeds.com site soon as well so will let you know so you can follow Judys story as well

I am also helping someone get their finances sorted with my 10 steps to Financial Freedom Plan for the year that I follow so If she is willing to share you can follow her story as well.

Im back blogging and i cant believe its been that long!

I am off in ten minutes to head up for the walk. I did not go for a walk last night and in fact have to say I had a few too many drinks with Becky From www.sizeXchange.com who came into town for meetings and stayed the night. Was great to have a few laughs and let my hair down! I figured Im doing 74 km over the next four days so I am sure I will burn it off! Will take some pictures and pop them up on here .

I am busy helping behind the scenes for the next tour for Damian Kristof and now Lee-Anne Wann is joining the tour. I have my work cut out for me over the next four weeks! One of them I am off walking the Queen Charlotte Track so I will have to just learn to relax and take a chill pill. I can’t take my laptop so It is going to be very good for me to have a complete break from work. Jayde my P.A has been away for a month, it’s gone fast and I am looking forward to having her back tomorrow. I have had a great day with eating but no exercise and being up late tonight with such a full day tomorrow is not a good idea. Lack of Sleep does not girls and guys support a healthy weight loss! I have a house Guest coming to stay tomorrow so I told her to bring her walking shoes. Night All

So many people have emailed me and asked for a new picture update.Here is my photo that has been done for my book cover.

I am also been  asked by people to keep up my blog so here is my first post for the New Year

I am off to walk the Queen Charlotte Track this coming Wednesday and sooo looking forward to it. It has been an interesting end to the year and a challenging start to the year for me.

With Garry getting cancer and a number of other little things happening. The doctor found a lump I’m my breast last week and I was shipped off for a mammogram and an ultrasound on Friday and I’m happy to say it is not cancerous. I just have lumpy breasts! Probably couldn’t feel it through the layers of fat before.

I have put on 5 kilos over Christmas as I gave myself a few days off that grew into a week that grew into a month that grew into 6 weeks. I am happy to say I am back on the bandwagon if that’s what its called. I confessed to Damian that I broke lose longer than I should have and he is so supportive, just said get your act together people are depending on you and they are. But most important I am depending on me. I love my new body and I love the size 10 clothes. Mostpeople havent noticed my gain but the clothes are starting to get snug.

Garry and I got up and went for a 5 km walk this morning and I have eaten well today , no more potato chips or taking a bit out of everything that walks past me .

To write often is going to be great for me to keep me focused plus I am helping Damian with his tour again. I seriously encourage you even if you don’t have a weight issue to attend as the information you will receive from a health perspective is huge

If you want to know the dates and if he is coming to a town near you check out www.nzeventplanners.co.nz and put the word promo in the code as it will give you cheaper tickets.

I went in to the Magazine headquarters to meet up with Eva the Editor who is one of the nicest people you can meet to have my photos done and to weigh in front of the magazine. When Eva came out to see me she didn’t recognise me! It was a nice feeling having someone be blown away by how you look! Took me around the office to show everyone in Thats Life office who had been following my story obviously and really made a fuss of me. I am pleased to say I weighed in that Morning naked at 58 Kilos and on the scales in front of them at 59! I have made it! I do have to weigh in at my doctors for the official legal side of this so I have another week to go! I know I cut it fine but I did it. I have lost 32 kilos! I am amazing myself actually

Garry and I went shopping today and I fit size10 Dressses, size 10 pants! I am surprising myself!
