What made you feel good today? - Page 7

MITCHAY · 10-04-2015, 06:08 PM

Knocked off 2 high priority defects one of which has had the whole team stumped for 5 days and me being the least experienced of them all. The other I think pulled us back onto schedule from being a day down

So this is kinda cool and made me feel good today. This is a tracker on the Optifast site. Red line is my projected weight loss for the intensive phase of the Optifast program. Blue line is my actual weight loss to date, with weekly weigh ins. Helps put into perspective, for myself, that I'm ******** smashing it

This doesn't include the 6kgs I lost before starting Optifast.

Likewise, I've just booked tickets to Finland for a 3 week language course, followed by a 3 week road trip with friends from Helsinki to Oslo, and then to Germany for a weekend of lapping the Nurburgring.

Six weeks ago I took my car in to the mechanic to see if he could fix a faint shudder at around 1200 rpm... It now has a fresh 90,000kms motor in it, but... Insurance has covered it, that makes me feel pretty bloody goooood!

Mr Hardware · 17-04-2015, 02:36 PM

Knocking off at lunchtime!

My 3 year old wanted to have a go at those toy machines in the shopping centres that have the claw that you drop to grab the prize. Gave him $2 and let him go, and he manged to jag a 30cm tall Buzz Lightyear stuffed toy on the first go. Couldn't beleive it. He lit up like a christmas tree and hasnt let go of his new toy since. Made my day seeing him so happy.

Meeting up with potential housemates and finding that their place is pretty awesome.

Jack had a hip problem, his hip joints were not formed properly, so he had to be in a special brace for 3 months, which meant no baths , just hand wash & only laying on his back. He coped really well with the brace. He is a little behind in his basic skills like standing , balancing etc. But today he stood up by himself for the 1st time, now he is just showing off. The smile on my & my wifes face was just beaming. To us our xmas come early. Well done jack , we luv ya

A beautiful friend of mine. So honest and pure and brave. My life is turning mates, for the better.

Lunch · 21-12-2016, 06:28 AM

The everyday things: ( in the order they occur )
My cat greeting me at the bedroom door when I get up
My missus morning kiss
Driving my car

The today specific things:
2 days of work left
The NAB credited me back the $ that saw an ATM error deduct it from my acc even though $ was actually dispensed, and only 3 working days after it happened.

graphicgoose · 23-04-2015, 01:25 PM

Progress! This is making me feel good! I'm under 100kgs! 23kg to go to hit my goal weight!

DBourne · 23-04-2015, 04:13 PM

Thanks mate, I got an EOS700D. I am VERY much a novice but keen to learn how to make the most of it.

haha. How did I know you'd be waiting in the wings

**FoxtrotGolfXray 5.0** · 02-05-2015, 10:52 PM

Flew another 1.2 hours solo time today, which means I have now achieved the minimum 5 hours solo prerequisite to be able to get my pilot's certificate. So, next flight, which should be in a fortnight, should be my flying exam

That will be a huge day if I pass. Not sure it will beat my first solo though......

Being still alive.

Still take each day as it comes.

**supershifty** · 04-05-2015, 12:05 AM

Not having a job where I have to wear freshly ironed clothes, just acceptable as I turn up. Not daggy, just presentable for the work I do. Loving it!

Cheers!

graphicgoose · 04-05-2015, 12:57 AM

^ one of the reasons I love working in mining. I work in an office on site, but can't remember the last time I had to iron a shirt or buy work clothes

graphicgoose · 20-05-2015, 12:45 PM

This thread seems to have dropped off lately.

Previously I'd posted about starting the Optifast program and having positive results with respects to weight loss. Well when I started the program 9 weeks ago I weighed 115kg...this morning I weigh 87kg.

This is my weight loss graph, with their conservative projected weight loss in red and my actual weight loss in blue.

To say I feel amazing would be an understatement! I haven't felt this good in years! Another 12kg to go before I hit my goal weight, and another 3 weeks on this phase of the program before I slowly start adding proper meals back to my diet and work on forming good eating habits.

Getting off the Spirit of Tasmania and cruising 300km down the middle of Tassie. First really good long run in the wagon. Unfamiliar roads and thick as fog. Felt solid and planted on every curve. I got out in Hobart and my back felt like it could do it all over again. No painkillers required, which is unusual for that length of drive. Super chuffed.
