The Chrysalis Chronicle: Belated Update - like most of them ... :P

Hi Everybody!

Wow, this year is CrAzY - the further into the year we get the crazier it seems to be. The last two weeks have been a bit madhouse for me, lots of traveling and work related stuff going on, our store in Whangarei had a flood which we believe may be due to the fact a natural spring has sprung.. I know, seriously, whats that about? does mother earth not understand how busy I already was without having to rip up carpet and rip out counters.. I guess not. haha

Weight is going well still - think that I'm losing about 1.5kg a week now. Am weighing in at 107.5kg today so yeah 56kg loss. Still doing the exercise missions - running and cycling although I missed a night (last night) due a work dinner. Running is getting easier now.. seem to be able to handle a lot better! Got back into the weights too after a couple of weeks off, not sure if you remember but I dislocated my shoulder in a wee (not that kind of wee..) accident a few weeks back and have been cautious about lifting on it, pain seems to have completely stopped now so that is a bonus....although I have to be honest - the weight session nailed my chest for a couple of days afterwards - but its that good pain, the one that tells you its working.

Have a pretty full on couple of weeks ahead with traveling around for work, realised this afternoon that I wont even get back into the office until the 20th of August!!

Overall things are going mint for me at the moment - I have really enjoy my new lifestyle and although I cant say I was ever 'down' on myself before -I can say am definitely a happier and more confident person these days.. maybe its just a bit of ego inflation due to every 2ND person I bump into telling me how different and great I look now. bless.

I know I said that I would post a pic of me looking like Chris from Family Guy (according to my charming little brother Steffan!), haven't managed to find a scanner when Ive had the photo on me so am going to go budget and do the photo of a photo thing - apologies for quality.. .

Here it is.. Christmas 2 years ago... Yagagaaa!
