New scales....

Thanks so much AZ, WOOOO HOOO..... Im on my way from misery to happiness today ahuh ahuh..."

My mum brought me some new scales that she was given from a friend they are for doctors surgeries etc...I weighed myself with them last night several times and checked that they were weighing correctly all good but this morning when i weighed myself I thought they really are weighing me a little light so i weighed the kids and they were the same on the old scales as the new ones so i have updated my weight again... 102kg's.....Can you believe it.. silly me, of course you can, you are all cohens educated people.......

Goal number one is now 3kg's away... yipee!!
​
Lets see if i can resist weighing until next wednesday....

Confusion say: Which loo closer, the one you have passed or the one you have yet to?

Contacted Cohens

I have been playing with the idea since i decided to redo this, i really want this to work... i havent really had any cramping which i am sure by this stage should be kicking in, i know its not a big thing the weight is dropping but i want it to stay off... I have contacted cohens regarding new program so now just waiting on their reply .. then i have to talk to my hubby...

bye for now

A word of advice

Okay so i contacted the clinic,
I know its been a while since i got my program and i do have my refeed just never opened it.I felt it bad luck..
I was given some advice and i plan on listening to it... So I shall see how i go along this path and save my dollars as i go....

well no cheats yestreday and i went to the shop and had a bit of a clothes safari, and i actually got into some tops... another couple of kilo's and i might actually be able to wear them out in public...

i went through my clothes yesterday and i have four piles:

Basket- Clothes that are too big / extra roomy ...it is fairly full already:hurray:

Top Draw: Clothes that are "just right".

Middle draw: Clothes that i shall fit into shortly..5-10kg.

Bottom draw: Clothes that i will fit in a little while.. 15-20kg's

might actually start using my wardrobe again when i hit the second draw i have some dresses and skirts.......

well i have a busy morning ahead LH fly's home today, i better hurry up and read everyone else's posts...

thanks all and good luck today...

May your h2o be plentiful..

Chelle
 
LH is home and it feels great.. I am a little behind on my water still another litre and a bit to go to day so better squeeze it in soon, otherwise its yo yo time.. well i am making spagetti bog for them tonight so i better hurry up and make it....

any way just checking in hubby up now so check in the morn..

Hi Chelle, Hope you have a lovely time with your LH. How long is he home before he has to go back to work? It remember how much fun it is working your way down through the sizes. I have been getting rid of my big clothes the last few months. I saved the really good ones & thought I would give them to either of my S'sIL but it's hard to do that without offending. I might keep the 2 silk outfits and may have them adjusted (drastically) but more than likely they will sit in a cupboard for years. I love to get rid of stuff but getting rid of the "fat" clothes is a great feeling. Cheers, Cate.
 
Hi Chelle,
I totally agree with Cate. It is so much fun throwing out fat clothes. i also did what you have done with your clothes and had them sorted into what fits me now, ones I can squeeze into but wouldn't wear in public just yet (5-10kgs), ones that are the next lot to fit etc. You'll be surprised just how quickly you go through the bundles. I now only have about 2 or 3 things that I can squeeze into but wouldn't wear in public just yet and a wardrobe full of things that are too big that need to be given away.
Excellent weight loss..8.8kgs is fantastic and soon to be in "double digits"!!!:hurray::hurray::hurray:
Hope you are enjoying having your LH back.
I bet your bride to be will have a big surprise next time you see her. You could always have fat digs back at her then as you'll probably be much smaller than her (just joking).
Take care
Beck
 
Fish and Chip Challenge

Yesterday was a day full of temptation...

Well with hubby home i am finding it more challenging... But yesterday we went to the circus, kiddy heaven... Yummmy yummy, lollies, popcorn, icecream, chips, hotdogs..... yum yum.. I drunk my water like a good cohens girl and enjoyed the aromas.. after that triumph we decided to call by hubby's parents house as we had been unable to contact them since he arrived home..

The Fish and chip challenge ensued..
Hubby and FIL decided we would stay for tea... i collected their order yum yum, it smelt delicious. I served the kids dinner up and decided to serve myself up a plate as it was 5 hours since lunch by that time and i felt awkward. But i ended up putting it back. still harboring thoughts of eating it but reminding myself that it was all fat and salt...thats what i was craving not the food.. so my poor little water bottle got a beating.... i knew if i gave in, it would lead me to another then another... So i decided to organise dessert instead.. yummy choc pudding...
But alas after dishing up dessert for everyone else i had a bit of choc sauce on my finger and i licked it...argghhh! i have been a real tropper not licking my fingers washing my hands a trillion times whilst preparing and cooking meals..ARGHH....

Well after that i finished of my last litre of water paked every one up and raced home to make my dinner before that lick turned into a gobble....

I shall bid you farewell and read evey ones post later today as hubby is back from bunnings and i am on my fat behind.

Hotdogs- Yike! :puke:
I don't even classify them as food! Sorry but I couldn't let that pass. (xoC)
Try not to let yourself be hungry when these "temptations" are about. I used to always have an apple in my bag & a cracker serve & would eat them when everyone else was eating good-smelling junk.
By the same token you resisted! Well done!!
The licking of the chocolate without thinking is just a bad habit that most of us have. I think we would have to be ever vigilant to not ever do it again. I don't know how many times in my life I have put stuff in my mouth without even registering that I have done it. On Cohen's I slipped a couple of times & actually spat something out.
I found myself slipping back into bad habits with the grandkids here but I didn't have any rubbish in the house. It was more a case of too much snacking on crackers, sultanas & cheese.
You're doing well Chelle. Good for you, cheers, Cate.
 
Food or no Food.. I LOVE Hotdogs!!!

Great job avoiding Temptation..

Its "State Fair" time and I really want to go, just don't want to be tempted with the WONDERFUL smells of popcord, funnel cake and everything else!!
 
long time no post

Every time hubby comes home i say this time he will just have to fit around us.. ha ha ha it never happens our lives for the week revolve around him....well he has been extra productive on his week off, new kitchen taps, outside tap and he mowed and poisoned the front and back yards and will start my garden again...yippee obviously my healthy outlook is rubbing off...

Like most cohenites, my cohens has a priority place in my thoughts... So, i must confess my sins, i may have survived the fish and chip challenge, but alas i failed the OMG my mum may have breast cancer challenge.... though i didnt indulge in emotional eating to the extreme, but i did have a glass of wine and a small piece of lasagne the day i found out.I was in the middle of putting it together and it failed miserably.... some kahlua and a family dinner the night before we got the ultrasound results... but looks good the doctor believes it to be a noncancerous growth so,just a biopsy to reassure everyone and we can all have a sigh of relief then, hopefully the worst is over....

Anyway i havent updated my ticker i am to scared to look.... beside weigh in is on wednesday so i shall hold out.....

Thanks again to you all for listening, i love being on cohens it is such a stimulant..anyway breaky awaits, as i have been naughty i have been eating yogurt... but we have some mango's so they counter act the tartness... yum yum yum... I have some free time this arvo and will post for sure, no i really do mean it this time....

ta ta for now

Hi Chelle,
Big relief about your Mum. My Mum had breast cancer about 10 years ago and had quite heavy treatment (Chemo then radiotherapy and then another dose of Chemo) which seems to have done its job as she is ok now, so even if it did come back with bad news there is hope, but as it didn't then nothing to worry about!
Looks like the weight is going well and you'll be in "double digits" in no time at all.
Sounds like hubby is making very productive use of his time, good on him. I bet he gets a surprise every time he comes home. You must be melting away before his eyes!
I love that mangos are back in season too!! Yummm my favourite!!
Take care
Beck
 
try again..ps long post ha ha ha

Well as the title suggests I am trying again,, Aisling deleted my post last night so I gave in and went to sulk in my bedroom...

Thanks for posting Cate and beck.. Like Cate is experiencing, we no many people who have passed from cancer, sometimes we just think the worst...

well after my deviation last week I am battling to get down to 99kgs, I didn't stuff up too badly but my weight is just the same, I am getting some comments now but would love to say I am under 100kgs or that I have lost 10 or more kilos... not quite yet.. but soon..

Will be trying to do my circuit in the early morning from now as it was the great insect invasion last night... we had aerogaurd on and all, you could almost breath them in.... Thank god I didn't could you imagine how that would have put my protein proportions out.. ha ha ha

Now just a quick note to all I seem to be writer, editor and publisher when it comes to my postings and it takes me for ever as I chop and change, and like all good literature spelling mistake are to be found, so this weeks goal is to post with very little self scrutiny, wish this forum had spell check though....

Okay venting session..

Well I am don't know if wedding will be going ahead.. Money problems.. Sorry just edited the next bit ha ha ha.. Anyway long story short lots a bills and he has just resigned... I think I am stressed for them...


Unfortunately goal 1: 99kgs , I have not reached and goal 2: buy a size 18 dress from regular shop for this weekends party have not reached.....

But I have an outing on 22nd of November so hopefully by then I can buy an 18... of course I only have myself to blame.. I am accountable for my own actions.. So goal this week no stuff ups all my water and my tone ups and circuit for the next 6 days no excuses...

So my motto this week...

Focus focus focus

H2o H2o H2o is the way to go......:biggrinjester:


Yeah!!!!!!

ta ta for now ladies..

Stressed

Well i didnt make the circuit this morning... Maybe i can get out the door at least tomorrow.... News, beware :
kel is getting transferred and i am glad he has a job but it worries me,this stock market crash has affected the production. i am glad he has a job but we wont be getting a big 14 day pay as expected (these are few and far between) So i am left wondering what the fornights pay will be, maybe 6 days instead of 14.. he has 4-5 days off no pay then inductions when he finally does fly back to work, they arent full day rates... to top it off not sure what roster he is on. he could be back 6-7 days after he flies in. ARGHH!!! i am so stressed, i have been since he told me they were shutting rigs down, but all day i have thought about bad foods, i know its an emotioal crutch and i am fighting with my self but this wont be resolved quickly....I remind myself they found him another job thats better then unemployment... alot better, i am impatient, a virtue unfortunatley, i never learnt. anyway i thought by putting it all down in my post it might relieve the pressure and frustration... well it is nearly time for my dinner and i will have chicken breast minced.. yum yum with mushrooms i think... yum.. i would dearly like to sit down with a scarlet and some dessert and dissolve my problems away, but that is why i am so fat already and i shant be very happy with myself if i get bigger or if the scales travel the wrong way in the morning...

well thats for listeningand i will log on in the morning after my walk and circuit and post on everyones elses...

I am low on my water have another bottle so i better squeeze it in before it gets too late...
i wish you all well and i see you have been doing great how about relio on refeed... it will be us soon...

take care

Stay Strong!

Great job on staying strong and on plan!

Its so important to realize how and why we got to where we are in our weight. You ate health instead!

Keep it up!
 
binge free

well i got through last night,but not before i had an idea to have a mini bag of cheeto's, the debate with myself went a bit like this:

my emotions:Yum, i feel like some of those...
My brain: no, you want chocolate
My emotions: yes i do , but there isnt any
My brain: Exactly... dont give in for a poor compromise...

Then i stopped wanting them. I got through my night with less sleep but no deviations...

So how are all you out there?

i am feeling heaps better today, i think i past my crisis climax with help of my posting and feel i can deal with it, whatever it is.

i have followed my plan with breast chunks no suspicious minced breast... i feel great a little low on the water so i must have another bottle.

So still no 99kgs and still no walk, the bugs boss, the bugs... sorry if only it was a fantasy island..he he

well i plan to be close to goal weight for my mums 50th in jan so i really need to get back into my tone up routine.

I must bid blog off for now much to do in 12 hours and i hope you are all staying positive and continuing along your cohens journey with confidence..

Chelle
 
its moving

Yeah.. another day with out cheats or minced chicken and finally he scales are moving....... Yippeee!!!!!!
300 grams isnt much but it is the best loss all week..

So hopefully i will make 99kgs before the end of the month.. anyway still lots to do

cheers

Hang in there Chelle. Take each minute, each hour & each day at a time. Every minute you ignore temptation is another step closer to your goal. Underline the your goal. You're doing this for you. You deserve to be slim & healthy. Try not to stress over your husband's job. It doesn't help anyone at all, least of all you. You'll be right. What's the worst that can happen? Be positive & strong. Take care, look after yourself & try to relax, xo Cate.
