Losing weight

Well, here I am again. Have now lost 14 kilos. Now 97.4 kilos. My short term goal was to be 99 kilos by my birthday next month, so am extremely happy I'm there early!
Bad news. Kevin & I decided to go for a walk, to check out Kurnell again after many years. I took an egg/cheese wrap & a bottle of water, for brekky.  Sitting in the car, watching the overhead planes going into Sydney Airport, I started to eat my wrap, when I heard a big 'SNAP'. Kev said he heard it, too, yes, you guessed it, one of my front teeth had snapped off!  Second one in about 6 weeks. Exposed nerves, cold wind outside. Still, we went for our walk & really enjoyed seeing how much has been done to the area since we went last. Sitting listening to the frogs at Cooks landing site, where he took on water for the Endeavour, was a magical experience, as we both said it had been a long time since either of us had heard frogs. Definitely recommend it for a lovely walk. Returned to the car & went home, only to find out after about 30 minutes, I had lost my (almost new) mobile phone. I had for 2 years before, been looking for a Nokia 'fold', finally they came on the market & I got mine at Big W. My bestie, Beryl, who I see only about twice a year now, also bought one, unbeknownst to me!
So, had to re-instate my old phone, Optus were really great, transferred my number & all the money/minutes, free & otherwise to my old phone, after I had bought a new SIM card. Top marks for the lovely Indian guys who helped me out. Only thing is, the battery in the old phone is dying, I have to re-charge it every day, even if I don't use it.
Had the 2 teeth stubs out at the dentist, & am now on the Public Health waiting list for a denture. I look like an old bag lady now, glad of that photo of me at 18!!  hehe
Well, that's all folks,  Must go & eat, I only eat now when I'm hungry, and I'm hungry now.
