The big day & 12 bonus points in one day!

Today is the big day. The first big day in December for me (yes I know its only the 3rd!) but I have been waiting for this day since 17 September. Thats the day jamie left our home for work. Today is the day he comes home!! Well tonight, I am picking him up from the airport at 10.45pm. I started WW on 15th August and when he left I had lost 3.8kg's. I flew to Cairns to spend a long weekend with him in early October, and by that time I had lost 6.8kg's. He saw a few photos of me from my birthday when I had lost 9.9kg's, but thats it. I have now lost 13.9kgs and I am hoping I am going to knock the socks off him! He's home now for at least 6 months and it's going to be so nice having him here - without the stress of knowing the time is coming to an end (he is normally only home 3 weeks at a time). Oh I cant wait!!

My other piece of exciting news is yesterday I earnt 12 bonus points for an awesome effort of exercise! I rode my bike for 34 minutes, very intensly up hills = 4.5 & I walked at lunch time, plus incidental steps had my pedometre give me 2 points & I spent 25 minutes on a cardio workout = 3 points and then my aqua class = 2.5 points! I felt so good by the end of it, although a little tired. I slept like a baby last night. Mind you, the down side - with my foot injury, my other leg has been compensating and now I have inflamed the muscle in my shin. So I am off the walking for a few days and going to try a new class at the gym tonight which will get me up onto my toes so hopefully the muscle will settle down. Failing that I might have to give aqua a miss tomorrow night, but I dont really mind, I have earnt 31.5 points for the week and with Jamie home, it might be nice to have a night off tomorrow and maybe cook a yummy recipe together and have some couch snuggle time :)

Oh life is good!!!

PS - Today 3 people have told me how good I am looking lately. I havent had any compliments for a while, and 3 in one day! I feel so good now!
