updating...
Weight has remained the same - 29.6 kg loss. (break of routine from holidays maybe? No gain, so that's the main thing :)
I had to see the Hypertension Specialist.....and I had to take the three boys with me. Even I can appreciate the ridiculousness of that situation LOL They surprised me and were very well behaved. (we were prepared with books and snacks and pens and paper) My BP was nice and low for the appointment, which was good :)
I have lost 15kgs since I last saw him three months ago - 5 kgs per month. A nice steady number and they were very impressed. He has predicted that I'll be off both of my Blood Pressure medications in 6 months time if I keep going the way I am. Wow, hard to even imagine.
Things were good at the GP - just maintaining everything for the moment. No result for the CT neck/chest yet (grrr) but she has promised to chase it up today. (the test was ordered by my Vascular Specialist, so we need to follow the paper trail)
I need to have a Renal Ultrasound before my next appointment.....but I'll worry about that when the kids are back at school :)
I think I have confused some people when I talk about wraps LOL
I'm actually eating TORTILLA's the most.
Here's my favourite brand....
I buy the smaller size ones. (If I buy the large, I definitely only have 1/day)
I love these as they're quite moist and thick.
I sometimes buy "wraps" - flat, rectangle types, but they're usually really dry and I don't like them as much.
I try not to get caught up in the KJ / calorie count of things - I just eat in moderation.
Although, I grabbed some yoghurts recently - the packaging was deceiving. It was similar in design to the diet yoghurts I normally buy. They were *delicious* LOL (that should have been my first clue) When I was back at the store with Peta on the weekend, we compared them to the diet yoghurts - 4 x the KJ count!!!!! Oops! :)
I spent 4 days with my family at the beach last weekend and it was nice to mix up my exercise a little. I did laps in Peta's pool a couple of times - it felt wonderful afterwards. I don't think I've been in a pool in.....20 years? I think I might check out the Aquatic Centre near school when school starts again.

Stay strong, you are doing fantastic. No weight loss can be disappointing but as you said, no gain is the main thing. It will probably improve once you are back in your regular routine.
We get the same wraps (and yes, we call them wraps to!). Have you tried the green ones, I think they are spinach? They are AWESOME toasted, doesn't matter what the filling is, they just taste great toasted!
Sweetie just a thought - are you measuring too - sometimes when there is no weight loss there is still a change in measurements (which is just as good). Something to keep in mind. Thanks for clarifying your wraps - we've been buying the mission ones too but the sundried tomato ones (the boys LOVE them!) We couldn't get any except the garlic "wraps" last time at the shops - there was nothing else (perhaps low on stock due to floods - or everyone reading this blog!) Will keep an eye out for those tortillas. You are doing SO well! I hear you on the pool. ;)
