OT: Update from Down Under

Hello hello,



It's great being back at work full-time, I've been able to throw myself completely back into my job and it has helped me take my mind off the worrying matters of the past few months. Unfortunately though it means less time to check in to the group, but I am checking in fairly regularly, I just don't always have time to post. Tonight for example when I opened up outlook, I had 768 unread messages (and there's probably more if I checked through google). SO needless to say I won't get through them all.



Last Tuesday night DH and I had our first weigh-in after our first week at WW. I lost an amazing 3kg in my first week!! Oh how excited I was.... (I think that's about 6 pounds?) I lost 6cm off my waist in 7 days!! I'm on the right track..... and looking forward to tomorrow night to see how much I have lost this week :o)



Also, I spoke with T last friday on the phone and it was so good to hear that he is happy and being well cared for. It was an extremely emotional time for me, but I needed to hear in his voice that he is doing ok. I still think about him every day, and at times still doubt that we've done the right thing, even though in my heart I know we have. He will still be a big part of our lives, it just wont be on a live-in basis.



DH bought me some eyelet setters (spring-loaded), ya'll probably know what they are, but they're new to me... lol, I'll hopefully get to try them out soon. And he bought me this new "snap-lock" system to replace the screw/posts in my albums. I've replaced one so far, and I'm happy, I think I might get some more.



I think that's about all I have to report for now, I will get back to reading the group, and will post more when I can.



Much love, Cec...xxx


Congrats Cec on the weight loss. That wonderful. Sounds like you've been very busy. Its great to see that your DH is very supported. Hang in there.

Congrats on the weight loss Cec. I know how hard it is. Enjoy your new tools. I have seen the "snap-lock" system and wanted to try them, but haven't heard anything about it. Nice to know that you like them.

Bravo on the weight loss. Keep up the good work. Its really worth it in the end. Kathy

Congrats on the weightloss!!!! I'm glad you are able to go back to work, full-time and are enjoying it. I am sure it must have been a very emotional time to talk with T. I'm sure it was emotional for him too. How wonderful that he is being so well cared for and is doing well. Never doubt you did the right thing, sometimes family members just aren't able to take care of one of their own and it takes a strong heart to do what has to be done. In the long run everyone will be better off. Sounds like T is doing well and that's what counts. {{{Hugs}}}

Way to go Cec! You are certainly moving in the right direction. I am glad that you got to speak with T and that you will have the chance to continue to let him know you care. Sometimes caring does mean letting a loved one go where they will get the special care they need. Kudos to you and believe in your choices.

Good for you Cec! Congrats on the weight lost! I'm so glad to hear that things are going positive for you, DH, and T. All 3 of you deserve to be happy, and it sounds like you are. *BIG hugs!*

Thanks so much to all of you..... my motivation is going strong, I just keep thinking about the end results :o) luv Cec...xxx

Cec, I'm so happy to hear you sounding so cheerful and optimistic! Congratulations on the weight loss and that only in 1 Week! WOW! Imagine all those new fabulous clothers you'll just HAVE to buy! LOL Enjoy your new scrappy toys. I love those snap lock thingies - Marilyn sent me two pack and they work like a charm!

Judy, SA
