Batting average

Well, this week's 1.3kg loss has meant I've kept my average at very slightly over 1kg a week. Translated into cricketing terms, this would make my batting average better than all the Aussie batsmen in yesterday's underwhelming win over Sri Lanka, except Gilchrist.

This week I've been going through my annual build-up to Wellington Cup Day. I've got a new dress: white with red poppies, quite tight-fitting so it looks like I've still got reasonable sized boobs. Several days of fake tan applications have given my legs a golden glow. The nails have been painted bright metallic red. A small red satin handbag has been purchased - and will probably never get used again! The never-worn red lipstick has been dug out of the make-up kit.

Believe me, this day has nothing to do with the horses!

Hi Sue
I have finally found some time to come and check out your blog after all the support you have been giving me.
You are doing fantastically well and what a great loss this week.
I am still contemplating the duathalon - just not sure about the bike ride still. But will give it some more serious thought.
I will be back...... and thanks again :)

Sue you really are doing fantasticly!!! an 80s girl & still keping the average above 1kg! your cup day assemble sounds glamourous, you'll have to show us the pics of you all dolled up!

Margaret said...

For all the bullshit I spout about difficulties from time to time, you have shown that if you keep your face out of the feeding trough and your butt on the race track you can still lose weight as you near your goals (I had to put in a horsey analogy somewhere LOL)

You are sensational and I hope you win big at the track. Glad you still have boobs ;D

Suzy said...

Well done on another fantastic loss! Your outfit sounds lovely.

Add me to the "Nosey buggers wanting photos" list pls!

Your average is certainly Bradman-esque ;op. Plateaus-shmateaus, one CAN get through them and hit the ground running to make up for lost time, and the ever-determind Sue is the proof (which, as we all know, is not always in the eating).

Thanks for you comments re Nanna's birthday. She claims her name is June Dorothea. Her birth certificate says June Dorothy. If you ever want to get a rise out of her, call her DorothY - Pa and I do, works every time. Incidently, Pa's name is Albert, his ( sadly rapidly reducing ranks of) army mates call him Les (his middle name) and everyone else calls him Bill. I like the name Bill (not William) so that will get a gurnsey too.

As expat Kiwi's in Oz we are always getting ribbed about the NZ cricket team so maybe you should start coaching them and sharing your fantastic motivation. Way to go Sue - what an average - what a woman - well make that, what a smaller woman!!!
