Things are happening around our house but unfortunately none of it is really worthy of sharing yet.
We have had new sliding doors installed on our built in robes, we have been painting the second bathroom and we have started on the kitchen as well!
Yesterday was a Bank Holiday and I spent the day priming the kitchen cupboards and enjoying the snow! The small amount that fell for the short 10 minutes. It was very pretty though!

I am please to say that I have managed to loose a bit more weight this week. See here for more about my challenge.
Weight - 64 kgs (140.8 pounds)
- 0.9kgs (2 pounds)

Waist - 74cm (29.13 inches)
-1cm (.39 inches)
*
Goal weight 58kgs (127.9 pounds)
*
6 kgs (13.2 pounds) to go
*
My resting heart rate was 62 bests per minutes.
Improved from 63 last week. Things are looking good so far!
The photos are of Honeyfield House, it was originally built in 1854 and has been restored by it's current owners.

It is located 8 minutes from Robe in South Australia and is surrounded by the beauty of the Mount Benson wine region and a garden that is filled with lavender and herbs.

It snowed??? That's so cool! It felt so chilly here in Sydney yesterday I thought it must have been snowing somewhere in NSW. Can't wait to see your house projects when they're done. And that's fantastic news on your weight/fitness goals. Well done Nellie. You're very inspiring as we are the same weight and my goal weight is also 58kgs (my pre William weight). I should really get myself into gear and join you in the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!

Well done on your results Nellie. You're very brave to be putting it out there...my lame attempt at reducing weight is so far limited to not having a glass of wine Sun - Thu...pathetic!!
ReplyDeleteSnow! How wonderful! I have been wondering where our winter has gone.
ReplyDeleteSounds great that so much is happening around the house. I'm still trying to get quotes - it's impossible!
Well done with your health challenge. I really need to get fit - I'm trying to rely on the Wii at the moment. Better than nothing!
Congratulations on your weight results. Can't believe it snowed there yesterday - we have been having such warm weather up here. Can't wait to see what you have done at your place, in the meantime, thanks for the lovely images. Michelle

Hi Nellie, you go girl! Are you feeling better or is that a silly question? The cottage you have shared with us is gorgeous. Might have to earmark that one for future reference. My hubby is visiting Orange next week for work, I will tell him to rug up! Brrrr.....
ReplyDeleteWOW Nellie Congrats on your weight loss, your going great guns. You have certainly been busy around the home, can't wait to see the progress pics. Just getting some computer hic cups sorted so I can do my truthful Tuesday post. I heard it was snowing down your way. My daughter now lives in Bathurst so she was complaining about being cold!!! Good luck for another inspiring week!!! Trish
