Honeyfield House on Truthful Tuesday

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.
*
*
The cottage is available for hire.

  1. 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 :)
    Have a lovely day!

  3. Snow! How wonderful! I have been wondering where our winter has gone.
    Sounds 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!
