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

Chelle, What a relief about your mum! Enjoy your time with hubby, xo Cate

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

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......


Yeah!!!!!!

ta ta for now ladies..
Chelle

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

Chelle

I meant to say "thanks for listening.."
my typos.... goodness me

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!

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

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

chelle

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.

okay so party comes around and i thoroughly enjoyed myself... but alas i had something to drink and some yummy white bread and cake... Ooppssssss

Okay i am back with new spirit and determination since my B2b had a bridezilla moment.. after telling her i was unable to eat at a function and i was basically told i ate and drunk or didnt go i discovered that she doesnt think i wil get much smaller, my goals are to high, i am over the top and it consumes my every thought...Blah blah blah..... I am not the same Chelle and more Blah blah blah and the beat goes on.. so i am now more determined.... i will be the shrinking women and if it continues to cause problems with the friendship i will have to take a hard look and see if it really is a friendship.. i am doing everything to help with this wedding and i just need to loose the weight for me i am not doing it to show her up.. i mean goodness me the day is all about her ... Every one is focused on the happy couple not the bridesmaid..i was aguest at a wedding this year on a paddle steamer i was the largest person there i vowed not again.. i cant be any where near this big for the wedding i have famuky thing on the 24th of November people we havent seen for a few months so hopefully i can be anither couple of kilos lighter and my grans doctor will be seeing us on the 24th so i hope he will notice a difference and realise i am honestly trying to help my gran with her weight and diabetes... she is a light weight though only 12-16 kgs overweight im any way they are this months goals.... Thanks for listening....
