The Big Day Arrives.....

Ok a few weeks ago I entered a competition to win Craig Harper for a week of personal training and mentoring. Alas I didn't win, a lovely lady from South Australia named Jo won. Craig decided, however to run a mentoring session for those of us who entered but didn't win. Of course I put up my hand like a shot lol. The decided date was the 30th of August...yep today!

I have my weigh in on a Saturday, so I went to that and woo hoo had lost 1.2kg which now brings the total lost to 23.7kg. I then went home, had breakfast and changed ready to leave on the drive to Brighton where his training facility, Harpers is situated. (I thought I was going to be late but I got there just before him.) He came toward me and held out his hand and said "Michelle?" There were about 9 including Jo and I sat at the front. He chatted about accountability and creating changes to make your life better. Needing to be proactive rather than reactive.

There was question time then hug time (yay) I asked if I could have my photo taken with him and he said rather surprised.."you want a photo...did you bring a camera" I told him "of course." This is the picture.



Then I got my lovely hug. So lucky lol.

I also had a lovely long chat with Jo in the car park. Good luck with everything Jo.

I have had an awesome day.

Birthday, Lunch and Telstra Dome and a loss

Ok firstly I celebrated my birthday on the 29th of July, I turned 46. I had a lovely day, starting with getting a lovely pair if silver earrings from Dale (my son) and a beautiful teddybear and glass butterfly from Erin (daughter). My Mum and Dad came up to work with a beautiful arrangement of camellias and 3 charms for my Pandora bracelet. (I will post birthday pictures in the next post) The people I work with got a cake for me...yum!




I went to lunch with the lovely ladies from the Weight Watchers threads again. After much confusion as to where at Southern Cross Station we would meet up, Heather and I did find Marg and we wandered over to Docklands past Telstra Dome. When we got there we had to wait for Dorothy. All of a sudden Heather got a call on her mobile and it turned out Dorothy had walked straight past us. She was about 50m away from us and Heather started describing what Dorothy had on and as she turned there were the 3 of us waving at her. We wandered through New Quay and settled on lunch at Hot Chocolate restaurant. Heather, Dorothy and I had a lovely Caesar salad and Marg had yummy looking egg and ham on toast. In the pic it is L-R Marg and Heather (back) and Dorothy and me in the front.

After lunch Dorothy left us and we walked back to Telstra Dome where the AFL match between St Kilda and Port Adelaide had just begun. As you can see the ground at Telstra Dome from the gates we did a lap of the ground looking in each gate as we passed it.




In this picture we found a Krispy Kreme donut place and we thought it would be funny to show 2 weight watcher people being barred from it by a fence, I was actually roaring with laughter at the time of the photo.





These two photos show(if you look closely enough) the actual ground at Telstra Dome.

We had a lovely day and after leaving Telstra Dome we had a wander through DFO, said goodbye to Marg, had another cuppa and made the train with a minute to spare (well timed)I had such a lovely day. (lots of steps on the pedometer too!!!)





Oh by the way I also had another loss this week...1.5kg which is now 21.9kg all up.

till next time
