well thank god the kids are back at school... things can start getting back to normal now i hope...

well im on the wagon still and finding it a bit of struggle but i have a new goal.. Christmas... My friends 40th.. and the arguement that cuts through all my internal conflicts is" I promised".. i promised kelvin, after my leg op, that "i would never get that big again".

as much as i love my food wine, this is what i need to remember most, for myself and my kids.. i wasnt happy then.. i have confidence now, i feel good... i am a better person...

anyway, i just wanted to pop in.. im still alive, life has just been crazy lately...:p

I hope everyone is doing well and i will pop in on the threads...

talk soon

Hi Chelle, Welcome back to the forum & back to Cohen's. I know I love food & wine, & you too, will be able to enjoy them, guilt free in the future. It's really worth getting to goal & working out what is manageable for yourself as a long-term strategy. I'm sure you are capable of doing so & you would be setting a great example to your kids & ensuring that they have a happy & healthy mum. It is good to see how your self-esteem has grown as well. It's nice having you back Chelle. Catch up again soon, xo Cate

Hey Chelle

Long time no speak! How are you managing? Have you been able to jump back on the wagon yet and race ahead? :auto: I miss your posts and hope your doing okay. Would love to hear from you when your around!

I write in my London journal now and then so come say hi- even if you haven't been back on the program! I know that it can be intimidating to be in here if you haven't been deviation free. I know when I moved country and was off it for 4 weeks I was feeling very guilty and embarassed I even thought about not coming back as I was so down on myself. But here I am and I have lost 18kg's on my new program since March and all together I have lost 22.8kgs woo hooo. You really have done so well so I hope for your sake your able to get back up on your feet again.

I totally understand the whole promise thing as well as I would say that I promise I will get back on the diet over and over again so much so that my promise was lost and I left so worthless and helpless as I kept disapointing my hubby and myself :(

Love and best wishes to you sweet!

OMG.... yes.. i know...

Hello... to everyone....

how are things going for you all.. i am sure i shall find out soon... i will try and catch up on as many posts as poss... but feel free to drop me a line and update me...:)

where to start, where to start... oh wubbulous life of a cohenite in disgrace... bah ha ha...

Bad habbits

How easily they return...

I have yet another puncture in my tyre so i will be off to bob janes soon... while i have been on hiatus i have managed to get about 5/6... grrr

boo hoo..

but enough of my boo hoo me attitude, i have felt sorry for myself for way to long.... weigh, weigh to long.. have blood test at end of the week.. i have done to much yo yo ing of late... but thanks to some nice friends i am 100% recommitted, refreshed and deburdened...

i have also evicted that nasty voice inside my head that keeps saying yes and telling me this is too scary...... i have shed the i dont deserve this perspective and am embracing the ... "why the hell dont i"...


Well i did reconcile with my bridezilla and will be attending her wedding as a guest.. but still want to look fine... and i will... i have new shoes... will try and post pic.. hopefully they are for the acdc concert in march and i want to look smoke'n for that too...though hubby has his doubts that they are wearable...

SSHHH....Top secret!!
I have also joined a marching team.The cavaliers.. i know.. but its fun, they need new members and it helps kelista's team too.. the ladies are a right laugh and i enjoy the adult conversation... its helping me to be less of a sad sack... Its good for the posture to..beside we march at country fairs... what better incentive....

i recently sat the stat which is the mature age test to get into uni, as i didnt complete year 12 due to a growth...bah ha ha, my darling son,jacob was born that year... he is now 14... arghh.. anway i got a good enough score to have my pick of uni's in wa... i am hoping to do "bachelor of nursing".. but stil need to apply for next years application... This is something i know i would not have attempted if i hadnt budged that 30 kgs irrespective of the few kilos i have regained while on hiatus...


i did contemplate opening a new blog, but decided that was just me being a dag..
Off or On the wagon the jorney so far has been an accomplishment..
I cant just negate what i have done so far because im unhappy with myself...

Any way all i have to do is look at the new shoes i bought and I know im on the road to me... this is where i am meant to be... this is the road i chose to travel, not all roads are straight and easily travelled.. i got lost on a bit of a roundabout... bah ha ha... Big thanks to nic, mel, hev,penny, janet, cate and the forum you have all helped me find the way back..THANKS.. thanks for being around, no nonsense advice and optimisum...:grouphug:


Well i better go for this morning, my new man bob jane is waiting... lmao.....
But will drop back in this evening when im avoiding those pantry monsters..:)


thanks all.. look forward to getting back into the swing of the forum..:)
wishing you all well...

Chelle
 
YAY for you Chelle!!!!

I am SO glad that you are back and running :) I missed you around here as you bring light to us all! I have responded to what you wrote me in my diary. We are nearly at the same weight now and I cant wait to get into the thick (or thin) of the 80's and breeze into the 70's! I haven't been there in YEARS so this is a big deal for me.

Glad to hear the leg is getting better and you off to a good start!
Do you have to get a new cohen's program now or are they happy for you to keep going on your old program? I know our contract is only suppose to be for six months so did they let you continue?

Yay for chelle

hi ya...

what wet, windy, cold weather we are having at the moment...

whats the rest of you experiencing out there...

well now im not bm i need to think about dress options for the wedding its at the end of sept so any ideas will be appreciated... im in two minds about shoe's do go with the sparkly silver stiletto's that i choose for my bm dress or go totally new... mmm.. advice welcome ladies... the wedding reception is in a subiaco pub, appertiser's and drinks really nothing huge and formal..

the pantry monsters are quiet at the mo i am surrounded by no junk food for the moment while i settle back into the no zone.. my friend penny is helping drag me out of the house so im not tempted by bordem...


The cavaliers march at the corrigin fair is now only 7 weeks away...arghh.. ps i am so hopeless, talk about 2 left feet.... bah ha ha..

Looking into uni too at the moment its so confusing, curtins nursing course is science based its close to home, but ecu is app the best but thats north of the river and about an hr and half on the train then there is notre dame which seems to be a force of its own in freo... some days my head feels like it might explode....


well still playing catch up with posts.. some new names too.. its great that the forum is so busy...


hey nic, i am currently still on my program i guess this blood test will make or brake it.. fingers crossed...
i will pop in and see the oracle i think...

stay strong and positive..

Hey Chelle!!
Ooooooh!!Sparkly shoes!! Go with them, they sound pretty! But what colour dress are you wearing??
I have heard that Notre Dame run the best nursing program! My cousin is currently doing her Registered Nurse course but I think she does hers at ECU.
I am like you I try to avoid sitting in my house too long at one time, for the sake of not been tempted!!
Hope all is well!

Notre Dame is supposed to have the best work experience prac/job readiness, Curtin the worst. However, ND is miles away, so is EC. That always leaves Curtin. Sigh!!!
 
sweet.....

thanks girls.. i think my hearts with notre dame... i dont know why but thats where im feeling the pull... i shall look into public transport as i really dont want to have to drive my captiva every day... some times trying to get to the closest destination via public transport is harder then the fartherest option... god... arghh.. my SIL told me murdoch had a program... i got all excited it would have been one bus ride straight there.. but alas :( only the peel campus offers nursing.... bah ha ha... i think ecu is closer then that.... tee hee hee...

i still have to apply yet...:) might not have a choice...

great to hear from you both, how are your own journey's going?
i guess i should look you up and read for my self instead of being a slacker....

Sparkly shoes it is thanks kc..
dress: colour wise i was originally going for a darkish green.. it suits my complexion, part of me is still wanting that colour even though it was discussed as the bm colour... she doesn't have a bm..
Maybe a fresh. pink or purple, or a medley of spring colours.. im not scared of a pattern or print.... oh its any ones guess, i wouldnt mind a red dress either... oh, gosh who knows...i guess i'll have to start window shopping,i guess i really need to start looking its about 8 weeks away...


The Wubbulous life of chelle continues..
Im sure the more kids i have had, the less able i am to make a decision...

anyway.. 100% the day is over another day down and another day closr to my goal..:) it feels good to be back..:)

Hey chelle

If your looking for a really good place to find a nice formal dress for a wedding- be it in a pub or not then Legends Bridal in Joondalup if fantastic! They really have hundreds of dresses from full length to short and sexy! I think you will find something there that your looking for. The assistants are also very nice and I bought my bridesmaids dresses there so I can recommend them. Also I agress with WBS the sparkly shoes are the way to go- sky high and sexy! woo hoo ;)

Hi Chelle, I'm out of my depth here with fashion but something tells me red-perhaps a deep red, especially with the silver shoes. I'm a black, black & black girl myself but have been adding red lately. Good to see you back and well done on the 100%. Nursing seems like a great idea for you. How's your mum going? Catch up soon, Cate
