Hey Girlfriend Hope Your Doing Better And Get That Clean Keyboard Fixed We Miss Ya!!
 
Hi, Zoila, Hope your day went well. Today was your weigh-in again, right? I hope you had great weekend, and hope you're staying on track and loosing those pounds!
 
Sorry guys, havent been on much lately. been flat out at home. Hubby fixed my keyboard for me so I didnt have to fork out for a new one which is great because money has been a huge issue lately. Been very stressed out over money problems and family drama's. But thats life I guess. Tommorow school holidays start, so yah! I think that means I will have more time to get online. Well it means I get more of a sleep in anyway and I will settle for that. I am a another 1kg down this week, though have fallen off the wagon a bit here and there. Easter coming up this weekend has me nervous, plus daughters birthday next weekend. I tell you, I will sure be happy when this month is over, weight wise and money wise. Its late tonight so I will try and get in tomorow and post in everyones diary.
 
Hi, Zoila, 1 KG is GREAT! Way to go! Keep on doing it, you will get there!

Since the holidays are coming up, plan a "cheat day" on those holidays! Allow yourself to eat all the yummy stuff (but watch your calories a bit and stay within reason), but make sure that it is only one cheat day, and get back right on track the next day! I think if you plan for it, it will be easier to participate and enjoy the holidays, instead of dreading those occasions.

I am sure you can do it!
 
hang in there Zoila....you're doing great! Stay focused and don't be afraid to have some fun! Every day will be different - it's long term that matters. There's never any end to money problems....that I can understand!
have a great day Girl!
 
Hi, wow its been such a busy week havent been able to get in as much as I would like, and you feel the difference. Well I hope eveyone is haveing a happy easter. I have been a bit of a naugty bunny already and its only Saturday. We a going on a picnic tommorow and I am packing healthy chicken and salad sandwiches. which is technicaly is bad because I am not supose to have bread. But its easter and a family picnic and I want to be able to enjoy it with my family. Afterwards we always have a egg hunt in the back yard for the kids. My daughter was so funny today she said "mum I have a great idea, how about on easter you hide some eggs in the back yard so me and eli will run around and put them in a basket" I said "gee that is a good idea" and had a laugh, cause she was so impressed with her self like it was such an original idea she had come up with out of the blue instead of something we do every year since she was a baby lol. She gets so excited when she finds a egg, she gets this look on her face like she's about to lay one lol. Any way got to make sure that the kids eat all the eggs this year. Anyway Happy Easter everyone.
(I'm changeing my photo to one of my daughter on her egg hunt last year, so you know what I mean by her face expressions lol.)
 
Your daughter is so cute! That's the funniest thing she said about the egg hunt. Kids can be very amusing. :)

I think you can definitely have cheat days for family occasions and holidays. I think as long as you stay pretty good for the whole week, you'll be just fine!

Hope you had happy easter, it sounds like it was fun!
 
Hi, Zoila, looks like you have not been back on your diary for a while! Get back in here and let us know how you are doing! You better not be falling off the wagon, or else! :)

Hope all is well!
 
Aww She Is A Doll Baby Hope Things Are Going Good We Miss Ya!
 
Wow, I just realised I havent been in here for a while, and I admit I have been off track this week. Everything has been so hectic this month, I will be so glad when it is over. Well my little girl turned 5 on thursday, We had a big party, (a fairy party lol) and I was bad, I ate cake and I had a sausage roll. That was just during the day time. The party finished about 4ish, we then had to go visit hubbys nan, then we had to go off to dinner, so the family and people who couldnt make it to the party could spend her birthday with her. Again I did not make great choices at dinner. Really the whole day was exausting, as I was up till 3am getting everything ready and assembling the doll house we brought her the night before. By the time we got home that night, me and the kids were out to it, lol. Ok so It has not been a good month for me. I will pick my self up and start again tomorow for as they say, "if at first you dont succeed, try and try again." The good news is there is nothing to distract me or derail me from here on in till my birthday thats a good couple of months without temptation.
 
Hi, Zoila, its ok about the parties. Those are really hard. But you're right, you need to pick yourself up as soon as you can and get back on track, keep with the diet and the shakes. Those things are just minor setbacks, if you're committed to doing it long term, they won't stand on your way! Does that shake diet allows you cheat days? I hope it does. That way all the events you can kind of assume that it would be a cheat day for this week, but just make sure that the rest of the week was good, and that way you are still on track.

Good luck and here's to the new day!
 
Hey Zoila!!
First I want to congratulate you on finding a new gym!!! How fun!! I went to a facility like that for a while too, I thought it was great. It REALLY helped me get on track. You know it was my sister in laws birthday yesturday. They went to a Brooks and Dunn concert and I volunteered to watch the kids. They got home around 11 and she cut into the cake and offered me some. Well at first I said now, but then at about 11:30 I caved and dug into it to. Don't sweat it, you know if you NEVER say yes one day you'll just go crazy with everything you can find!! Hope you feel better today!
 
Ok, so I dont know what I was thinking when i said now its school holidays I will have more time lol. Having my daughter home all day every day, well lets just say there is much less time to get online lol. Wohoo only a week left then its back to school. Ok so I am trying to get myself back on track its not been easy. Today is ANZAC day here, so it means another public holiday which means hubby is home, which again translated into take away for dinner. Plus I gave in and had chocolate, which I am finding so hard to get out of my system again. I am so an addicted to it. I am going to do my best to start again in the morning, I know if I can go a couple of days straight of not having it then I can get it out of my system again. As Aussie girl mentioned earlier, I have a plan for joining the gym. I ended up having to cancel my layby on my bike a couple of weeks ago (long story) but found out that after the holidays my friends are joing this new gym that has opened around the corner Curves. I havent been there yet so dont know A lot about it, but my friends think its really great so I have decided to join with them as soon as Abi goes back to school. I am looking forward to it. I always use to enjoy working out, it was a good way to destress.
 
Ok, it all depends on how much chocolate you're having. If you're eating the whole bar, then yes, you can't do that and expect to loose weight, unless you are really super-good on calories for the rest of the day. However, if you have a small piece of chocolate(like 30-50 calories worth), then it won't derail you too much. The trick is to be able to stop, and you need to know yourself whether that's possible for you. (Its awfully hard for me to stop eating chocolate, and I don't always succeed in it). If you can't have just a little bit, then you need to be strong and not buy any! Pretend that chocolate does not exist. ;)
Another thing that you can do is have a cheat day once a week and say that only that day you can eat a piece of chocolate, but not any other day of the week. It may be easier to give something up if you know that it is temporary... Those are just some of my mind triks I found helpful...

Good luck with the gym! I'm glad you will be able to go! Yeah! I have heard that Curves program has a success. I think it is a certain type of gym exercise, and they already have a program pre-set for you... Definitely check it out. Just make sure that you start slowly and gently and start with low-impact exercises.

Please stop by here more often if you can, so we can hear from you!
 
Ok I Will Be Struggling Like You With This In A Few Days Because Of Tom So Lets Face The Choc Crave Addiction Together!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
So its only half way through the day here, but so far so good. Todays the day I pull this train back on the tracks. Thanks for your posts guys, As far as the chocolate goes I have to say no all together cause I am a all or nothing kind of girl, once I get a taste there is no stoping me, so its best to stay away. I have tried the cheat day, but I find it realy hard to get back on track afterwards, so this time I am going to try and just keep going, these pit stops are derailing me a bit too much.
So I am happy today as I won a bit of a victory at home. This house we live use to be the mother in laws, well it has always had a dishwasher but for the first few years hubby told me it didnt work. Then I year or so ago mother in law asked why we didnt use it, when I said it didnt work she replied yes it did work it just needed reconnecting. Confronted hubby on it and he said it uses to much water and it was much better to do the dishes normaly (easy for him as he never touches a dirty dish) well I complained a bit over the year, but never thought too much about it, till my friend got one and was telling me how much easier her life was. Now when it was just me and hubby, there werent too many dishes, now we have two kids I feel like I am forever standing over the sink doing dishes. So the past couple of months been trying to put my foot down over the dish washer, finaly last week I had, had enough and went on strike, Refuse to do anymore dishes until he reconnected it. Well last night BREAK THRU yah he reconected the dish washer. I am so happy, so will give me more time to get on and do other things.
 
lol yay for the dishwasher!! I wish I had one, it would make life sooo much easier :)
I see what your sayin bout the all or nothing for chocolate- I am kinda the same way on that... I was really bad about fast food- I ate at Mcds, taco bell, taco johns, wendys, blah blah blah, and when I started this, I said, no more! Can't do it. Its either be fat and eat all the fast food I want, or go cold turkey and get hot :D I haven't had fast food since... but your braver than me on the chocolate..lol...I don't think I could quit that habit..

your doin great- keep up the good work!!
 
Good job on the chocolate! Then from now on, chocolate does not exist for you, at least untill you've made some further progress on the diet front!

No dishwasher???? Are you kidding? Now that I'm spoiled with that convenience,there's no way I'd be able to live without one. Honestly, my back is SCREAMING after just doing one pot - I can't imagine having to do all the plates and glasses and all, it is only two of us....

Good job on making your hubby fix it! BTW, dishwasher is actually far more economical and sanitary then washing dishes by hand. It actually uses less water, and it can sanitize dishes by using high tempreture wash - something you can never do yourself!
