weigh in week 9

i have been a very busy little bee this week, i have been watching my Xena dvds while sewing, oh how much i love my Xena, ( a little secret , i one day will own a full replica of her costume custom made in my size, hence my urgency to get smaller too ). So i have had this gorgeous pattern  of a very complicated looking corset top, you know how this girl loves her corsets, well i finally got off my ass and had a go at it, took me 1  and a half seasons to finish it. 
I must have looked ridiculous, sometimes laughing, sometimes tearing up , other times just staring vacantly at the screen with mouth slack.  somehow still managing to finish a difficult , attempts back flip, stands , pauses , sits again... i don't have a stunt double.


 So when i actually  go out i will get a pic of me wearing it ,  its a very vintage looking top and it will go well with alot of the outfits i have. 
I also whipped up a top and gave it to mum, it was a more simplistic baby doll singlet top that i didn't photograph. I am about to make a start on  a top and corset set , not sure how it will turn out but I'm willing to give it a shot. That reminds me , i made a cute black corset 2 years ago with a peplum waist and i only wore it for 2 hours and never wore it again due to me getting fatter. I'm going to try that sucker on ... i will be back in a minute I'm back, it fits again, woohoo and as i looked at it closely i thought it might possibly go with this white top too.

So kids are on school holidays,  this usually means sleep ins but noooooo not since 12wbt, i never get sleep ins, I'm up and have to be ready for my workouts by 8am, even on Sunday when i could squeeze a sleep in, I'm wide awake at 6am... the injustice of it all. 
The kids have been OK apart from , noise, fighting, back chatting, mess making and general boredom, so i have my work cut out for me on the holidays. i had to tell them that they were not allowed to play on the computer until i saw that they did enough  physical activity to earn it.... i am a Meany aren't i?

I managed to occupy them a lot yesterday taking them to see the baby farm animals and then to the beach. we were all so exhausted last night that i was a bit of a cranky mummy. oops. poor kiddies.

Today  is weigh in day and even though i have been busting a gut with my workouts , it is seriously hard to get this damned weight off. i swear when i get to my goal weight i am going to do all i can to  stop the weight coming back , its just too bloody hard  to remove it. 
I got my new scales 2 days ago, which gave me a chance to see if they liked me more than the others did. they are tanita scales and have that body composition stuff on it. i gave it a go, set up my profile and got on and i swear i could feel the current passing through my body . lol scary  to a sook like me, but i just reminded myself it was OK, i was not going to explode at any time soon. i got all  my readings and still am not sure what they all mean  but my main focus is  on my weight..
Today i weighed in at.......93.7 :) that down a total of 9.3kg since  sign up. i really want to get that 10 by end of round, and hopefully close to 15 so i have a lot of work to do.
I am off to do my housework, so i can get more sewing done. i will feel guilty if i try to  sew while my lounge is untidy and my bed unmade..yes yes i know , make it as soon as you get up. but i couldn't because Connor was snuggled in it , playing on my phone. he is such a cutey head. 

Have a good day  and remember to never give up.
