Cohen's Lifestyle My Journey On Cohen's

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Hello Everyone! 4 Weeks DONE

Hello hello!

Firstly, hello to Cate, Nickychick and Niyah who've stopped by recently.
Nickychick, you'll notice I have posted my tracker below... I had to make a new one which was a tad annoying. Is there a way to ensure it's there all the time? Actually don't even answer that! I am being lazy. I will work it out :)

Niyah, how are you? it's been a while since I have exchanged with you but I often find myself thinking of you... hope it's all going well.

Cate, so good to hear from you Cate. Thanks for you message re: eating and feelings. Interestingly, even on Cohen's, I see how that pattern manifests itself. I've noticed that when someone offends me or upsets me, I'll often reach for a piece of fruit or a rice cracker. Even though it's not nearly as damaging as what I once reached for, it's interesting that I still look to food to deal with my emotions. I find this pattern fascinating and love that I can catch myself in the act these days!

Now - to my good news.... drum roll.... 4 WEEKS DONE!!!!

Yes, I have just completed 4 weeks and when I weighed myself this morning I was 20 lbs down. That's 9 kilos lost! Woo hoo!

I am about to take my measurements now. I feel only a bit smaller but i'm sure it's taken off more than I expect.

I would love to know what some of you lost in your first four weeks... if anyone is willing to share. I found myself using this as evidence again that Cohen's won't work for me. WHAT! Is she crazy? You're probably thinking... well I can see your point. But you know the mind and its crazy antics. Mine tried to convince me that the best is now over as it relates to Cohen's. I heard my voice saying "now the losses will slow down to nothing" and then I imagined the Cohen's doctors telling me I'm an exceptional to the rule and they simply can't explain why I can't lose.

Oh dear.

Anyway, at least I see myself doing it.

Other than this, life is going great. I am about to finish my current freelance assignment and had an interview this morning for another job that will last three months. It's closer to home which is wonderful as right night I've got to take an epic journey to and from work.

So yes, everything is good. But I realize I am hungry for luuuurve :)
I went out on my date on Friday night but the guy wasn't my type. Honestly, he just wanted to jump my bones which I wasn't interested in... not with a stranger, that ain't my style.

I keep imagining the day when I will finally find my man. I can't wait to have that comfort in my life. The joy of sharing everyday. I know it's coming... it has to. I couldn't possibly go the rest of my life feeling this way, all to no avail. I just hope he shows his face soon.

Hi 28+1, I like your sense of humour and your insight. Sometimes I think we can over-analyse but when it comes to comfort-eating the more the better!-
" it's interesting that I still look to food to deal with my emotions. I find this pattern fascinating and love that I can catch myself in the act these days!"
Good for you. Being aware is half the battle. Being determined to change that pattern is the next step. You are a very smart woman obviously & determined & I feel sure that you will keep making the changes necessary to break that pattern.
Re: Believing it will happen-
I put a list of measurements in my diary somewhere but I am not sure where they are. They are quite mind-boggling. So is the length of my diary! The fat just kept melting off me on a regular basis all the way through to GW, although I had trouble seeing that. I'll have a search sometime for my measurements at 4 weeks when I have a spare few hours to wade through my diary. I lost my exercise book with all that info somewhere in our local town a long time ago. I hope I didn't have my name in it!
Love will come to you 28+1. You deserve it! Everyone deserves to love & be loved. Luck comes into who you meet & when & then it's a matter of what you choose to do with it. I count myself so very lucky & wish everyone the same good fortune. It will come & when it does you will know it straight away. He will want to know everything about you (& will still want to 'jump your bones!' LOL!) You did make me laugh! I'm glad for your sake that you're not like that.
Cheers for now, Cate
 
Hi 28 weeks etc, glad you are still going so well. I'm pretty sure I lost around 8kg in the first month this time, and about 9kg last time.

Yes, the weight loss "slows down" but don't let your head try and do you in over it. You will still lose FAT - lots of it. The big loss the first while takes into account shedding fluid, and much less food in the gut etc. But yes, the body does have a startling ability to get rid of fat fast in the first while, then desperately try and hang on to it.

If you can honestly just chill and enjoy the ride, your body will look after itself, and the fat will consistently disappear. We always want the "reward" of the numbers on the scale looking good (and I'm no different!), but have a LOT of confidence in the fact that many have done this before, and it just WORKS!!!!! Relax if you can, and just stick with it all the way.

You are doing fantastically!

My life is a big mess right now - won't go into it all here, but have a pretty sick youngest son with psychological problems. Has been hospitalised for 2 weeks, and it's mighty stressful. He's in the public system, and I want to shift him over to the private. That's going to be a tricky business to negotiate right now, for lots of reasons. This means my life is a round of hospital visits, talks, appointments, and STRESS. The diet has had to take a back seat for the moment. I am not giving up - I just can't think about it right now. I do things right when I can, and I will get back to serious business whenever I can. In the meantime my goal is not to undo all the good I've been able to do this year. That seems to be how life goes - make a gain, try and hang on to it! But just now, I'm like a really taut piece of string that's going to snap, so I just have to go with the flow. We've had a lot of messy meals, fast food and so on. I don't eat chips and junk, but usually just resort to eating some kind of asian stir fry or something - no rice. That's about as good as it gets at the moment.

But - hopefully your life is going tons better and you can just concentrate on doing this 100%!! I read everyone's diaries, even though my life is going all pear shaped at this stage. I love seeing everyone finally feel they can get this issue sorted, and discover lots of things about themselves along the way.
 
Hello Lovelies!

Well, it's nearly the end of week 5. Gosh time flies. I really can't believe I have lasted this long. And I've no desire to break. Ok, so last night I was remembering with fondness how nice a latte and a bagel are together for breakfast. But they're not good enough to put up with my thunder thighs. Besides, mango and yogurt rock my socks!

Niyah: I am sorry to hear of your current difficulties. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to watch your kids go through difficulties. I know I've only ever wanted the absolute best for my sister and when she struggles, i struggle. I love her more than life. I hope your son gets better. As hard as it is, I guess all you can do is realize we each have our own paths. And your path right now is health and wellbeing. So please don't neglect yourself. Food really isn't a comfort. It's a trick of the mind to think it is. It only keeps you stuck and stops you from facing life fully. Anyway, I know things are tough and I really hope you're okay.

Hi Cate! How are you today my dear? Thanks for you words once again. I love what you said about my man and how I'll know it's him as soon as I meet him. Do you know I spend so much time imagining walking down the aisle to marry him. How funny is that? I was never one of those girls. NEVER! Yet I've turned all soppy and girlie in my old age. Anyway, patience is the word! He'll show his face when he's ready. It's just wonderful that somehow inside I know it will happen. I used to have so much doubt that it would. Cohen's has a lot to do with it. As I'm losing weight I'm just loving what I'm seeing! No man will be able to resist me eventually, mwah ah ahhhhhhhhhH!

tomorrow i am having my second blood test. i am excited to see the results. i still feel great. i feel fantastic actually. and i just feel so connected to people. gosh, food was such a crutch. my body was such a dumping ground for so many years. LOVE all the healing i'm experiencing right now. It's about bl--dy time though. I've been a searcher since my teens and it's only now that i really feel i've cracked through some glass ceiling of awareness. i can really see now. it's wonderful!

i'm going to niagra falls this weekend. i'm going to go out and buy an esky tomorrow so i can pack all my meals. i told my friend and she's fine with it. i told her that under no circumstances will i deviate. there's just too much at stake.

i can't WAIT till the end of the year when i hit goal. i can't wait to post you all my pics so you can see what a giant i was and what a femme fatale i'm gonna be!

love to all. smiles on your dials. xxx
 
Smiles on our dials? Sweet-heart you have me grinning from ear to ear!! Your words are music to my ears & I am loving seeing this new person emerging &, most importantly loving the fact that you are learning to see who you really are & loving what you see! Fan-bloody-tastic!!
He is going to be one lucky man! I am a dreamer & a hopeless, soppy romantic. I love people and I am no longer going to hide my feelings & myself.
Life, love & friendship is wonderful! Have a ball at Niagara Falls with your friend.I look forward to hearing what she says about your new attitude. I love it!
xoxoxo Cate
 
bwaaa ha ha ha ha 28+1 you are SO funny!!!

I think we have the same sense of humor as I think a lot like you in regards to the whole photo thing- I will post when I am a femme fatale! You are too cute for words I'm sure :) I am also blessed with the thunder thights and ever since I was about 10 years old my mum used to slap me gentley on the thigh and call me thunder thights... I just HATED it and cried many times wishing that they would just go and they never have! I acctually HATE wearing pants for that reason alone and even in winter I will wear a skirt to not show of my thights. It seems SO ridiculous but it is my insecurity :( I cant wait to get rid of them for good and not have to worry about wearing whatever I like! YAY for that day.

Anyway just dropping by and I love your ticker- it's just so motivating :) 9 kg's in one month is just FANTASTIC!!!! I think I lost the same as you in the first month so dont think that it's going to slow down to nothing as it hasn't yet for me. You go girl!!! Keep up the devo free attitude and you will be sexy and finished before you know it ;)

Hellooooooo!

Hi Nickychick - thank you for your supportive note! I think 9kgs is good too! I am definitely not complaining :) I think I have lost a little bit more too. Maybe 2-3 lbs. So excited!

Hi Cate, thanks for your lovely note ;) you are right in your observations! There is a confident, sexy, happy and funny person emerging as my fat melts away! It's wonderful. I went out tonight and just couldn't believe how my eyes were drawn to all the heavy burdened people walking along the streets. I feel like I've really turned a corner and it feels wonderful!!!!!

Everyone, I went to Niagara falls on the w/e. Now, you must make an effort to get there at least once in this lifetime. IT was sensational! I swear I had a spiritual moment when on the boat and right out near the falls. It was so beautiful. Awe inspiring.

Hope everyone is doing swell :)

Letting It All Hang OUT!!!!

I have mentioned before that I am in the midst of putting together a website. I wasn't going to share it on these boards until I felt the material was good... but you know what, it's never going to be good enough! So I've decided to share it now. Warts and all!



If anyone does check it out, I'd love your feedback. And no need to sugar coat what you have to say. I'd just like to know the truth of what you think.

There's so much work to be done to it. Some of the content is good, some of it is pretty poor. It takes a lot of time and it's going to demand more going forward.

Anyway, I'm sick of aiming for perfection. Been there, done that... Yawn yawn yawn. Now I'm just interested in participating in life. So that's why I'm sharing my site now!

Lots of love, 28+1 xxx

G'Day G'Day

How you going?

haha!

MMmmm, well it's saturday morning here and I'm meeting a girlfriend in an hr for coffee. That's of course peppermint tea for me, as I've chosen to give up coffee too while on Cohen's.

I am nearly at the end of another week. Six weeks, woo hoo! I am amazed I've lasted. And weirdly enough, I'm surprised I haven't lost more weight. I just feel like I"m hardly eating. It only seems fair that the weight should drop off.

I don't know how some women do this plan. Those with small kids and full-time jobs, you are my heroes! I am finding I am so tired. Just really low energy. For example, I got up this morning and went straight downstairs to buy a mango for breakfast. I honestly took about half an hour as I felt like a dead man walking. No energy at all. Also, when I get up, I often feel dizzy for about 10-30 seconds. Low blood sugar maybe? Don't know. Don't really care either as I'm doing this till I get to goal no matter what.

This probably sounds more dramatic than it really is. I am fine. Just tired. I have often talked of my desire to do yoga while on the plan. That honestly seems like an impossibility right now. I think I'd collapse! But I must say, my tiredness seems to correlate with the heat. I wonder why heat makes me tired? I love heat. Whatever!

It's great that I have my website to work on as it keeps me preoccupied. If anyone wants to build a website, you should buy the program I am using. It is so comprehensive and informative. There's an awful lot to learn but at least it works and you feel empowered by the process. I am glad I have it.

I have decided to complete my coaching course I started a few years back. At the time I was too busy and got so overwhelmed by the course. I've always been impatient and the kind of person who packs about 48 hours into 10! So I eventually fizzled and left the course. But the same themes keep coming up for me in life - coaching, working with people, psychology, possibly philosophy. So I'm ready and resigned to indulging what comes naturally. I should start soon as my nutrition program starts in Feb so I could finish it by then if I work diligently. Plus I am only working part-time these days.

Man my life has changed! I used to be a corporate slave. These days I feel like I have one foot out as my outside interests are becoming much more prominent in my life. It's a nice feeling. Surrender! Ah surrender.

I have all of next week off as I am in between jobs right now. Then the following week I start a four week job that's for three days a week. And still I'll be earning more than I did when I was full-time. Is that ironic or what?!?!?! A change in attitude and everything is suddenly different. Wonderful!

I bought some dried sage the other night and tomorrow am going to attempt to clean my apt from top to bottom. It still doesn't feel like home so I'm thinking a mass mass clean might freshen up the energy and make it feel like mine. Let's hope so.

Not much else to report. Oh I sent of my application to cook in the kitchens of a wonderful yoga center here in the city... i am offering to volunteer for 3 hours/ week. I'm all of a sudden obsessed with cooking. AND obsessed with the impact food has on our poor little bodies. I also applied to work at the city's leading raw food/vegan restaurant but so far they've said 'waiting list honey'. I am thinking about writing back and offering my services for free. Just want to be in that environment, feeling spiritual and uplifted and empowered with food. It's all in the name of new habits. Habits are hard to break and I realize I need to do more than follow Cohen's for lasting success. That's only me personally. Perhaps you can do just Cohen's and win. I am not judging what your journey might require. I just know I've been a food addict in this life and being on the outside of addiction is wonderful and I want this state to stay.

Have a great day. Must clean my apt before my friend comes round to pick me up in 25 minutes!

Did I report on Niagara Falls? You must go there if you haven't been. It's definitely a once in a lifetime trip you must take. I felt uplifted by the experience. Beautiful. Wonderful. Awe inspiring.

28+1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s. one last thing... i can't believe how many people try and tempt me off cohen's! even my friends who are involved in nutrition say things like "you should just also have this or that" each day or "what about more vegetables?"... WTF!?!?!? I can't understand why people do this. Don't friends realize you need their support. I find it weird but at least it just strengthens my resolve to stick to it 180%.

Hooray!!! Another 4.5lbs GOOONNNNNEEEEE

The last couple of days have been quite hard. I should have known something was up! What was up was my body was metabolizing another 4.5 lbs! Yayyyyy. I am now at 195.5lbs or 89 kilos! I haven't been under 90 kilos since I was about 5 so this feels new and AWESOME!

I'd like to thank my scales for reporting the good news today. Thank you, scales! You are so wonderful... so balanced, lol! Okay, so I'm feeling a little crazy. This is what good news can do to you, right?

Now, the interesting thing to me is that the last couple of days have been difficult. I've found myself feeling moody and my spirits have been challenged. Not low exactly, just challenged. A friend of mine invited me out for drinks last night but I just couldn't see how I could handle it. I told her I felt exhausted as it was. Plus just sipping water at the bar... I'm OVER it already. I was home last night feeling quite lonesome. And I wondered to myself 'how am I gonna do this 'til Christmas?'.

I really think that just prior to a big change, negativity is really normal... because at a deeper level it's as if you're fighting biological resistance...it's as if the body is sending messages to your brain "abort current patterns, rapid change is occurring... abort immediately to stabilize'... and you have to somehow withstand those kinds of bodily impulses.... there, that's my science lesson for the day, lol!

Well, it's 7:17am on Sunday here. I've already been up for hours! I like to get up with the sun. Otherwise the day seems to get away... plus I think of it as making up for all the years when I slept too much :)

Can we all just stop for a second and reflect on the fact that I am back in the 80's???

WOW! What does the future hold? I am so EXCITED!!!!!! :hurray:

Great news 28. I really find the new decades very inspiring!

You'll cope with all those social occasions - it's not forever, though it feels like it at the time. Sometimes I choose to avoid, other times I go and look for tricks to help me get through and find something to "do" so I'm not being pressured to eat or drink things that I don't want to.

But you're in the right head space to keep going! You've survived this far, so you can survive the rest, no worries! It really is such a small space in our life, and it is worth it to give ourselves back our health and our confidence.
 
Thanks Niyah!

You are right... it's such a small amount of time compared to a whole life. I also don't think my body knows how to lose weight... not loads which is what it needs to lose. I struggle with 10 kilo losses. And then I just fluctuate in that range. I need a whole new set point and I think that's why I chose Cohen's. It seems to reset the whole body.

How are things, Niyah?

Now... on another note, and ladies and gents, please stay in your chairs... I have some exciting news. I believe I'm down another pound! Yay!

Wee hoo!!
Cate, dancing around her lounge room, clapping & cheering!!!!!
Well done 28+1,
The 80's!!!!!!!!!!!
Fan-bloody-tastic!!!!!
:party::party::party:
Well, perhaps I'm still sitting in my recliner, but I do have a big smile on my face & I am really happy for you sweets!! I often yelled out with joy when I hopped on the scales!
It's fun to feel crazy with excitement. Every kilo or pound lost should be looked upon as one never to be seen again. Goodbye the 90's, hello the 80's, here come the 70's!!!! Don't ever doubt that you will do it because you can & you will.
I hope you're measuring. Don't forget to say goodbye to the inches as well! They are as important, if not more. It's a much more accurate reflection of where you're headed. It's all positive. What's a short chunk out of your social life? Nothing in the greater scheme of things. You will look back & be able to say "That's when I changed my life around for the better." Wow!
If ever you are doubting that you can do it have a look at your own web-site. Of course you can!
Cheers, Cate.
 
awe, thanks for the celebratory note, cate! yes, i am thrilled to be out of the 90's and forever (or at least till I'm pregnant! lol) The funny thing is, over here it's all about pounds and ounces not kilos and grams so I'm actually looking at the scale seeing 194.5! I personally like pounds more than kilos because they come off faster, twice the speed (it's 2.2 lbs to every kilo). Me and my love of instant gratification appreciates that!
Thanks again, Cate 28+1 x
 
I Think I'm in Love!

Well, it's really starting to happen for me. My feelings have changed a lot and now I can say all I feel about Cohen's is LUUUUUURVVVEEE!!!!

I've offically reached 193.5 lbs/88 kilos which means my BMI is now 27 point something. This is insane. I haven't been this low since... well, a lifetime ago.

I really cannot believe how easy it is to stay on this plan. I am not tempted at all by junk food in any form... okay unless you're counting bread/bagels as junk which I guess they are. Occasionally I think about peanut butter on toast or a sesame bagel. But it's not too often that such thoughts enter my mind.

As a consequence of all this success (26.5 lbs/12 kilos in 7 weeks), I am finally starting to believe that I will have the level of success I want on this program. My goal weight for now is 148lbs. I should definitely reach this by Christmas. In fact, probably before Christmas. Well... By my calculations, I only need to lose an average of 2.2 lbs/1 kilo a week for the rest of the year to hit my goal by Christmas. And I think from recollection, most people lose faster than this. So hopefully I'll hit goal weight earlier than that and I can get onto refeed before I go home for the holidays. If not, I'll gladly stick to Cohen's while on hols. I won't do anything to sabotage my success. I'm done with self sabotage.

All I can say is WOOOO HOOOOOOO 28+1

I am SO SO SO very excited for you right now :) What a fantatsic effort you have been making and the results are showing for sure! You go girl- YAY YAY YAY!!!

Guess what?!? We have the same amount of weight to loose now as I think I am going to get down to 68kg's instead of aiming for 69kg's. My cohen's goal is between 69-72kg's but I went on the goal weight calc on the cohen's site and now that my shoe size has changed by half a size I have a new goal of 68-71kg's. We both pretty much weigh the same as well so that is really trippy!!!! If my calculations are correct I should be around 87.4kg's when I weigh in on Monday! That is just SO funny that were nearly the same :)

I also have the very same goal as you- to be done by Christmas. I would really love to go to Switzerland or somewhere in Europe for Christmas so if I can be finished by then we can go!

I am SO excited for you being in the 80's and I feel the same way. I still think to myself that I weigh in the 100's but then I have to snap back to reality and say WOW I am in the 80's. It's a whole mind change I think, were so used to being a certain weight for so long it's hard to believe when we change! YAY YAY YAY I totally am celebrating with you and when we get to the 70's the party is really going to get started! I just cant wait for that day when the scales break into the 70's and I bet your the same :)

I have been reading your diary and really enjoying it. I hope after you cleaned your flat it is starting to feel more homely.

Have a fantastic weekend 28+1 and I look forward to more of your diary

Cleaning, Tantra and A New Guest

Hello world,

Hi NickyChick, I am so glad you feel we're kindred spirits when it comes to humour! I have found that humour is the most important binding agent there is. Among my friends who have become great ones, we always got off to a good start because our humours were so similar. Growing up and even well into my 20's I was the clown among the group. But in the last 5-7 years, I feel like my humour has all but disappeared. I am not too worried though. I have had a long journey of finding myself and that took some degree of serious reflection and retreat. Fortunately, I feel very grounded these days and like I actually know who I am. So the journey has been worth it. I am beginning to feel like I might be one of those lucky people who get to know both sides of life. I've lived the black depression, suicidal days and now I just feel energized (although a bit tired at the same time), hopeful and optimistic. These are feelings I wasn't even sure were possible.

NickyChick, I'm thrilled that we're at about the same point in our weight loss journeys. What a great encouragement, to know we're both eye'ing christmas for completion. It's funny that you mentioned aiming to go another kilo down... I have been thinking that maybe I should aim four kilos lower as my goal. The reason? Well, I'd like to be tall and really really slender (although I don't want to be skinny and shapeless. love my curves!)... We'll see. No pressure on my dear self. We'll just see if it works out.

I haven't quite cleaned all of my apt yet. I started yesterday (after loads of procrastination!) by cleaning the windows. I live in an apt block on the third floor and the windows in my love/romance area (according to feng shui) were literally black! They face onto a narrow, empty, grey well and across the way are other apts with windows also facing onto the well. So yesterday, I pulled down the fly screen and cleaned the outside of the windows. I washed the fly screen in the shower... it was black and i am not sure it had ever been cleaned before!

Now my love/romance area is beautiful, pristine and clean! Yum. What an effort.

Then last night I went to a tantra party. I am quite into tantra. It's very spiritual and is all about energy and breath work to attain spiritual awareness through love. If anyone reading this has a poor sex life in any way, you should try tantra. It completely revolutionized how I thought about love. It would do wonders for people who are having issues in relationships.... especially with sex... if they only knew about it.

So last night at the party we did lots of chakra clearing and I felt incredibly relaxed. I have never been to one of these events before and will definitely not go back. There were plenty of gorgeous women there but the quality of the men... well, let's just say they were all a lot older and... just not what I'm looking for, lol! While there was absolutely no sex at this party, there was hugging and deeply looking into others' eyes, etc... which was a bit challenging for me. But I think it was okay overall. And better than sitting at home on a friday night. Going forward though, tantra will need to remain a personal thing for me. Not something I do socially.

So if Friday night tantra parties aren't the answer, what is? I really need to find some activities for the weekend that don't require excessive energy output (because I don't have a lot), don't centre around food but are still social. I am thinking about learning the cha cha or something. Although that's possibly very high energy output so might not qualify. It's unfortunate that most of my friends go to bars on the w/e to get drunk. And my other friends are married and doing the baby thing. I feel a little bit like I'm equidistant between these two lifestyles. So it's not always easy to know what to do with myself. Especially since I'm also on Cohen's!

Anyway, whatevs! We'll work it out.

A friend of mine is coming to stay from tomorrow through til next Saturday. she's a lovely aussie girl and i've now known her for about 10 years. We have been through thick and thin, highs and lows together! Anyway, she's in the middle of moving apts and will be staying with me... Originally she said she was going to stay in a hotel... she didn't ask if she could stay with me. I think that's because the last time she stayed with me (for four weeks, in my tiny bedroom), we ended on a bad note. But I said we should forget that and start anew. We talked about why we'd fallen out last time and it led to a very deep and meaningful conversation. I was actually bawling my eyes out!
This all happened on Thursday night when I went to her place for tea. We ended up chatting until about 2:30am! It was one of those nights I will always treasure.

Alright, well I need to go now. I'm meant to be meeting another friend of mine for a walk and chat. I must go give her a call and see if we're still on.

Sounds like you have had a very eventfull weekend :) Glad your getting out and about and having a good time. The tantra sounds interesting cant say I ever really knew what it was it sounds like Indian love healing to me. lol Your brave trying new things and being open to a different experience. I say hats off to you for branching out. I would like to do some more things socially but at the moment without a job money is very tight and everything costs in London as soon as you walk out your front door.

Take care 28+1 and I hope everything goes well with your girlfriend staying over!

Tough Times But I'm Sticking To It!

Things are going well with me. I am struggling a bit today as I am starving but whatever! I have just finished 8 weeks and have lost 30 lbs (13.6 kilos). So happy about that! I went into some shops yesterday and was so tempted to buy up. my clothes are starting to get a little baggy. But I was able to resist! I have promised myself a ridiculous spree at the end of the year. Just need to maintain my focus.

Anyway, life's not been easy this week. Found bed bugs in my apartment. They are the most disgusting little critters. I've subsequently moved to the YMCA and am running back and forth to cook my meals. The exterminator is coming tomorrow and I'll get a new bed delivered later in the week. Just so you know, these bugs SUCK your blood. They feed off you during the night. I took a photo of one and showed him to the exterminator and he said 'yep, that's a bed bug, see, he's all fat and full because he's just sucked your blood'. GROSS!!!! Tonight my friend is coming to the Y with me. She's supposed to be staying with me but can't of course. And get this, I had to send all my clothes off to get washed and dry cleaned. Everything I own! There's nothing in my apt right now. Lol! Well, it's a victory I guess that I have stayed on Cohen's despite all this upheaval. In the past this would definitely have been a reason to BINGE!

Nicky Chick, you should totally try Tantra. It's a philosophy for living. It's just BEAUTIFUL! Apparently in ancient times, all indians studied tantra to perfection. What a lost art.

28+1!
 
Hi 28+1........ Welldone on your achievement so far!

Sorry to hear about the bedbugs, hope they are gone soon!
Must have freaked you out to find that in your bed! YUCK! But at least its getting sorted! Welldone for not letting it interrupt your diet, many would have used that as an excuse!!!

Welldone again!!
Keep going and good luck!
