Confession: 0.5 gain
Sad but true. I went to the Saturday meeting and recorded a 0.5kg gain. I guess I expected it because I have not tracked for a bout 3 weeks now, and my exercise has gone back to 2 -3 walks a week instead of the usual 4-5, but it's still a disappointment. I did pick up a new book though, and hopefully the new recipes combined with the fact that I'm on my own for a week will keep my motivation up.
On a lighter note, I did manage to meet the magnificent Mary, despite me nearly leaving the meeting without even saying g'day! Since I had only ever seen a photo her, I was relying on the dreads as a way of identifying her - but the dreads had been removed. So there was a girl in black, but I wasn't quite sure if it were her... Mary on the other hand was expecting a new blonde in the room - and encountered 4 of them! And since I have recently darkened my hair and had it cut, I didn't resemble my photo much either. But at the end of the meeting, a "are you cath?" got my attention. Kinda funny really - Nice to meet you too Mary!!
I was really impressed with the Saturday meeting, and even with the usual leader away, I sensed this group is certainly more co-hesive than the Tuesday night meet. I'll definitely go back.
In other news, CB and I spent our Sunday looking for a new car and CB nervously signed some papers tonight. We will soon have in our car space a shiny new holden vectra. We took the Nissan Maxima and the Mazda 6 for a drive too, but the Vectra came out on top. (Pity since I really loved the look of the 6 but it lacked performance compared to the other two). And for the record, I'm not much of a Car buff, but CB has been subtly "educating" me on the good and bad points to look for in a car.
We also took a break in between car yards to go record shopping, and found some gems, including "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" by the Chemical Brothers for just $10 @ acetate in darlinghurst. Very cool, I have a loop from that song as my ring tone at the moment. We also came across the whole new Daft Punk album which may end up being a great pressie for a CB in august.
Anyway, that's my lot for this weekend. Have a good one all.

Well done for going to the meeting and lucky you for meeting up with Mary. 500gm is really quite good for 3 weeks with no tracking and less exercise. Can you imagine what the scales will say next week now that you are tracking again!!
Congrats on the new car. It is always so scary signing on the dotted line, but oh so much fun taking the new car cruising. We get our car back on Friday after its little bump into a cement pillar, and I am so excited...
Glad Saturday meetings are good for you..
Have a brilliant day :)
Oh hon, 500g after your couple of weeks, no worries :-) The books are great for motivation too. I don't get anymore since Week 12 so I miss it but going over the old ones.
Definitely great to meet you and I am glad that you liked the meeting. It was a strange one because there were mostly new people there. I can't wait to see what you think of Lorna. She's a kak! Here's her blog - http://lornacouper.blogspot.com/
And a new car! WHOOT! I love finding new music too. The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk are both on rotation for my walks at the moment. Good beats for walking.
Have a great night babe!
