i can see a rainbow

It's nice that you had a lovely day with your uncle Jess. I think sun protection is the most important thing with wrinkles. I use a really cheap vegetable sorbolene (Vege Sorb) cream on my hands & face when I go to bed & it's great. It has no nasties or fragrance & makes your skin feel great.....& did I say, CHEAP. xoxo Cate


Cheap is good! I buy my creams from ALDI a cheapo supermarket here in the UK. In blind testings they beat the more expensive ones every time. I don't think we have Vege Sorb here sadly.

I had a nice today today i spent most the day with one of my sisters.Very tired but happy for this day.I went and bought my sunscreen and a new face cleaner and my night cream!!!i had a nasty thought this morning that made me buy them all! My partner G i call hm in here (short for George) ,still smokes and i HATE it.Well we are not comfortabel with money yet (even though i must say MUCH better than a couple of years ago) ,and a pack costs 3,80 euros.Nearly 4 euros a pack.So i just thought that if he gets to smoke and spent that much money on cancer can spend 40 euros on 2 creams!I jut went in and got them!Didnt tell him!!!!!
Cate i didnt have acne while a teenager.I had lovely sking.Fro m31 till now i have acne spots on my chin.some times they get on my forhead and jawlive.Huge RED sometime even a disgusting pus come from them.i found that only a couple of creams actually work and controll them!Im hapy i cant wait to go wash my face and get my night cream on!!!Feel like santa has payed me a visit!
Now as far as food!i did brilliant!!!i wasnt even hungry , maybe my stomach is gettng into shape!
I hope it is!
I weighed this mornng.I have FRIDAY as my weigh in day but i just couldnt resist.
99,3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 kg and 300 gr's lost in 6 days!!!!Feeling sooo strong now!!!
Tommorow is the 1st of May ,holiday , everything is going to be closed and we are going to meet up with my mum uncle and sister at 12ish to go to a big fair thats going on cause of the day!marios is going to have lots of fun!

We took our dogs to a nearby mountain/park and i actually climbed a bit.At first i didnt follow G and Mario i stayed low with one of my dogs but as i saw G walking up i thought WHY NOT?Why shouldnt i get some exercise today?i folled!Hot as hell but i felt So good for not carrying on like a big lazy blob.

My mum called me tonight cryng saying things that arent true.She is so jealous of my uncle.They live together always have,never seperated ever but she is so jealous of her girls having a good relatinship with him.She said to me i dont tell her things,only to him and he rubs it in her face -THIS IS NOT TRUE_I dont now if its the dimmetia that is also interfering with her acting this way.I dont know her.I can actually say i have never really got to know my mother...i realize it now.That i am older.I see her for the first time.Im putting one and one together and making her portret if you understand.It is a shame.Mum has always been The Hair,The clothes The makeup , The skinny and sun brown,The polite,eccentic(for the greek standards) red hair that turned heads while passing by.Nothig was REAL.Now everything is fallng appart and there isnt much left i see.It is sad.She is sad....I hope i can stand by my son through his life and letting my son KNOW me.Let hi really KNOW ME in good and in bad.I wish i can raise him well enough for him to really LOVE me when he DOESNT need me anymore.....

Be happy sweetie. Laughter lines are never bad. Congratulations on the loss. I'm glad you're back & things are heading in the right direction. Lots of love Jess xoxo Cate
 
Heya Sis

First of all :hurray: on your weight loss!!!!!!!! Yay well done you :)
Secondly, I think the stuff in your salad is cracked buckwheat. Sorry to hear about your relationship with your mum. The fact that you can see what is not nice about her is the reason you will not be the same with your son. :)

Thanks for being there for me sweetie. Loves ya xoxo And WELL DONE AGAIN :hurray:
 
Day 7 -May 1st-Thursday

1 koulouri
Same salad i had yesterday
bowl of boiled zucchini
A small portion of fries.

i licked the spoon that i mixed the chocolate for the chocolate pie i made.

I made a chocolate dessert.with chocolate sause on top and ice cream.I had none and it was easy not having any....didnt care less!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!while everybody was at it i took my salad out the fridge (good thing forleftovers!)
Tommorow is my official weigh in day.I like to keep a closer look and i iwill probably weigh on a Friday and later on a tuesday.I am going to be very good friends with my scale.All this time i have left the scales hidden,out of sight ,no batteries...i get on and then i am back on track for the first time in these 2 years.So i need to keep track!

I had a really HOT day...i was overdressed and just cooking all day.Not much to say today.
Thank you ladies for coming by!!!
I love reading your comments!
lots of love!
 
Well done Jess. It will get easier as you see the weight coming down & resisting temptation makes you feel so good! xoxo Cate

a taste of the chocolate dessert (2 forks)
1 grilled pita bread with some feta ad some tomatoe on

It was weigh day.Up to 100kg's.I didnt let it get me down cause i know it will be gone soon,many factors can make weight go up and down without eating any bad.
Cleaning the house for very very long.Changed the couches around,carpet people came took them,ironed for 3 hours,cleant the terrace
lots of love
 
its is 7:30 pm and i have had an awful mood all day.Just plain miserable.i felt fat and ugly,i have some personal stuff going on ...i just want this day to be over.I was thinking why arent i loosing weight faster?i HAVe been eating really well this last week.And if i compare to what i ate before its just a total change...
i decided no more waiting.i just got on my bike.did 40 minutes ,got so sweaty and tired.Then i did 90 crunches and 90 bridges.
This is the program i am going to be doing from tommorow.


i have done it in the last months but only for a couple of times.Try to stick to it.Never really knew that your bottom can actually hurt!
also i want this one as well its 8 minutes only but aaahh soooo hard.i cant get through the video i stop in the middle...it huuuuurts!Tomorow i'll start!


it's just that i'm starting to feel like a failiure again.i felt i needed to DO something.Well i did the workout but i also "did" a pastry thing before ,i felt really down,felt like i dont care cause its just not working.Then i regreted it and had that change of mind...I hate feeling low.

Day 9-May 3rd-Saturday

koukouri
koulouri thick with little chocolate pieces in
lettuce ,mushroom
2 quaker cereal bars
bowl of what i call sick soup
6 mini toasts
eating while making G a sandwich......

bad food day,bad day in general.i went to go grab a small slab of chocolate i have somewhere in the cuboards but then grabbed the cereal bar/i was sooo not good today.

Jess- that was yesterday & Sunday is another day & YOU CAN DO IT! Cut out the pastries sweetie, cut down on the starchy carbs & keep on moving. We can do this! xoxoxo Cate
 
Hey Sis

Awwwww, totally know how you feel. I feel like it way more than I can cope with sometimes. This week has been pretty rubbish for me too but for me there is no reason to it. Yesterday I managed to convince myself that it was good to have a 'treat day' seeing as I had lost. I ate all the wrong things and actually felt sick by the end of the day!!!

You have inspired me to 'get moving' and I am going to try going for a run tomorrow (it is a bank holiday tomorrow) we realy do need to get that awesome feeling exercise gives up. It'll help keep us focused too.

I hope you're feeling better today sweetie.

Much love xoxo
 
Never worry about the laughter lines love. I always say mine give my face character:smilielol5: Now, if i could just feel the same about my neck I would be a very happy bunny. It is starting to show its age.
 
I have one of those necks too Dumpy, a friend likened wrinkly necks to a scrotum lol it did make me giggle. Lots of exfoliating and cream really helps :)

Hey Jess, where are you my lovely?!!!
 
Day 10-Sunday-May 4th

lettuce salad
koulouri
cereal bar
many quaters of party toasts
a small piece of apple cake

well i was having a good day till i went to a political gathering as a favor to my sister.....things went wrong there food wise.not terrible but just wrong



Day 11 -May 5th-monday

koulouri with a slice of turkey and a ttiny bit of cream cheese
yoghurt 2% fat with 3 tea sppons oats
cereal bar
fruit icecream of 62calories
a portion roasted zuccini and eggplant
2 slices of bread with low fat ham

should not eat bread.Will epeat to myself every day/////////////////
Turns out i was miserable probably cause its the time of the month.Feeling oknow.I think that little pause in the weight(a little gain,went back up)was from the time of the month.i wont wegh till Saturday morning.I really dont want to be disapointed.
My two new books have arived today in the post!Cant wait to read them,i am reading something else now so o have to just wait.It takes me nearly a week to finish a book.I try to read more but i fall asleep!
My skin s looking way better after my sunscreen,never used it before.Only while on the beach.,silly me.
Be back tommorow!Fnding these days hard to control my mouth!
 
I love bread too. It's a problem. If this makes you feel any better, I spent the entire day on Saturday eating nothing but bread and cheese. What's wrong with me???? :) We can beat the bread addiction. One day at a time.

And I hear ya. Time of month sucks. Ugh.

Goodluck!!
 
:DCate you are so wright!!!!
I cant log my food the past 2 days but havent eaten bad.No naughty things.Iwent to h&m today to get a plain black short sleeved top i need.Went to dressing room with lots of stuff.I saw that my arms ,my upper arms just after /below my armpits looks bad.Cellulite there.....:cry::cry::cry:
hope it goes when the fat goes.i dont want to wear anything short sleeved.....summer is nearly here..its getting really hot....be back later

///havent bought a new keyboard.Got an old one from the storage room .Doesnt work perfect.but better than before.the SPACE key doesnt work properly now...........:reddevil:


i had to come on and say that i managed 45 minutes on my bike!I did 15minutes ,then zeroed the time and did untl it showed 30 minutes.Tricks for my mind!it saied i did 22,6 km and burnt 500 calories...it seems too much.I was cycling on resistance lvl 2,thats not much,just fine.Then i took the tablet and went in my sons room to do the youtube exercises but couldnt do it all,the video wasnt loading properly.So i did 90 bridges,60 lunges,120 crunches!!!!
