TWO achievements!
Well I am home from Brisbane. Went to WW to weigh in on Saturday morning (instead of Tuesday evenings-will still work at the Tues meetings though) and almost fell off the scales when they said I was UNDER my goal weight. It is actually way under as I went to my dr and he measured my heing and I am not 168cm, but 170cm, so my goal weight was 72, not 71kg. And I ended up with 70.8kg!!!
I flew home from the weigh in and then we finished getting organised for our trip to Brisbane. Stopped on the way through for lunch at my friend's house (the one getting married next month) then went and checked into our hotel. We didn't stay with mum and dad this weekend because they live 30 mins from the city and I had the fun run at 730am in the city on Sunday.
We then walked across to the museum so the kids could have a look around, back via Maccas (and subway for us) for dinner and just chilled the night at the hotel. We had two double beds, so I had TJ with me and Loj had Charlie. I tell you, I couldn't have woken next to a more adorable face this morning. TJ was right next to me chatting away!
I got my gift and cards from Loj and the kids (a beautiful gold chain to put my heart locket on-had one, but Charlie broke the clasp when she was a baby!), then we got organised to go across to South Bank for the run.
Had to be there to get my registration stuff by 7am, so we made it by 645am. Put my number on and race chip on my shoelace and pottered around until my parents came in.
The run (4km) started at 745am, so Loj came to the starting line with me to try and take pics, but it was so busy, he missed it. I tell you, it was the most emotional thing I have done in ages. The fun run was to raise money for Breast Cancer Research, so a lot of people had signs on their back dedicating the race to someone they knew who had breast cancer or had died from it. I chocked up a few times when I saw "Mum" on someone's back or a name with dates on it. :cry:
I did a personal best too. Found the actual run sooooo easy. A lot easier than when I have been doing it around here. I think it was because I wasn't running alone...dunno. Got such a buzz out of it too!!
I finished, got my meda (!!!-well everyone got one) and then we headed over to the city and had breakfast with my parents. After that, checked out of the hotel and came home!
Some pics :)
