Truthful Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone!

My Tuesday is not as happy as it could be

I can not celebrate any weight loss as once again the scales did not move

I did make some small changes though and drank more water (with the encouragement of my friend Kerry)

Moved a little more

Ate a little less and chose healthier options

Everything helps doesn't it and I am sure I will feel better for it!

I hope you enjoyed the Home Beautiful's House of the month. This French inspired house is located in Sydney's Northern Beaches. You can read more about the house here.

Truthful Tuesday

It is Tuesday again and the lovely Trish informs me that is has been one month since the start of our challenge!

If you happened to have missed some vital information regarding the challenge you can read about it here.

I am once again confessing, though this week I haven't gained weight but I haven't lost any either!

I have a feeling that I need to focus a bit more on doing the right thing!

I really struggle to exercise, getting out of bed earlier in the morning is not very enticing, it's too cold and dark.

By the time I get home from work it is dark and then.... well...... you all know, dinner, homework and exhaustion!

Excuses, excuses! I know : (

I will try harder and next week maybe it will show.

These gorgeous bedroom images are from my inspiration files and unfortunately I do not know where they originally came from. Sorry!

Thank you for all of your lovely encouraging comments, I really do appreciate them. Have a great day.

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.
