Cohen's Lifestyle Luvbug's Journey

[Luvbug]

Hi Starfishy!!!

Ahh yeah..my day has been rather crappy today lol
BUT alas - life goes on and my friends will get me some notes from class. I'm writing test on Monday, so I'm kinda stressed about that as well..

WOWWOWOWOWOW!!! 6 WEEKS!! We Rawk girl!
Who would've thought that time would fly like that?? to that as well! hehe

Plumbing must be a messy business hehe. But that's so cool that he has his own company! I've never met a plumber expert before, so it'll be cool to meet him sometime hehe

I also can't believe the deviation thing.. Oh well! I'll speak to her on Saturday

Whoooo Hoooo!!! *throws another party for the SASSY SISSY-BOY JEANS!!!* That is AWESOME girl! What a feeling that must be!
Congrats!! That's truly what it's all about..the nsv's (non-scale-victories!) during the journey. It really motivates you to move forward!
When I'm at GW I'll buy myself a Guess jean and a Sissy-boy Jean..I've ALWAYS wanted one!!

Shame man -- I really hope that you kick that infection's butt quickly! How do you get it? *takes notes*

It was awesome hearing from u, friendy!
I've missed j0000

Keep strong! Lotsa Luvs!
mwahhh!

Hey Luvbug!

Im glad to hear that you feel a bit better and not so stressed about the class thing! Whenever i use to be stressed(and didnt want to go to class) i just slept! I SLEPT ALLOT IN VARCITY! Like all the time! Id wake up-- eat -- sleep-- run around stressed-- sleep-- study-- sleep! EEEEEK and now I cant sleep during the day anymore and can hardly remember when last I had an afternoon snooze! I made sleep a national sport! LOL!

I was thinking that we should make a get together soon- If you'd like too-- u can bring your man and ill bring mine (lol) then we have ourselfs a little kuier! What you think? hehhehee Plumber are stinky-- ehhehe and I tell him all the time! When we first met- -sometimes he use to come over to my place- then Im like-- did I step in something like poo or what the hell is that smell! AHHAHAH It was the man next to me! HAHAHAH I chased him home to! LOL!
These days its a but better and the 'boss' doesnt get so dirty anymore!

I think that whe you weigh on Saturday you wouldve lost a bit more than half way! That would be awesome for you! I never thought that Id get to 6 weeks-- it seemed so long! But now -- im like-- 6 weeks- -oh man that nothing! ahahaha Great stuff!

Well, Im proud-- PROUD OF US BOTH! Pushing our own personal boundaries everyday! Hurray for determination!

Hope you have a great day girly!
Yippe for the weekend!
mwah!

Hi everyone & Starfish!!

Yayness -- it's Friday!!!

I feel awesome today! Last night my cousin and I went to a girl's night at the movies and watched Ghost of Girl Friends Past -- so cute!
We went to Mug & Bean and had bottomless *black* coffee. What an awesome night
We even got freebies after the movie hehe

Hehe, Starfish, I also sleep a lot! I'm really going to miss that next year.. It's scary to think that I'm going to work next year *scary music* lol

I was thinking that we should make a get together soon- If you'd like too-- u can bring your man and ill bring mine (lol) then we have ourselfs a little kuier! What you think?

That would be totally awesome, girl!!!
We should really organize something. And definately go to a Cohen's friendly place..hehe
If they have black coffee, water and Tab -- I'll be happy
The men can enjoy their food hehe

I hope that I lost a little bit more..but I'm not sure. I had TOM this week - so will see. I was just praying to make 6 weeks, but hurray, we're here!!

I'm also proud of us both -- we rock !

*big hugs*
mwahhhhhhh!
Make ur weekend rock!!

Hi everyone and Starfish!

My weekend was sooo boring ! I couldn't visit my mother (she is 200km's away ) and my bf was working.. So I was sitting at home *sigh*
Not so much fun.

I did go to my consultant on Saturday and she was VERY impressed
I weighed and I've lost 6kg's to date!! I'm sooo happy about that!!

Shame, my consultant was a bit sad though, because the lady that weighed before me was nasty to her. Why? Because she only lost 13kg's in the first 4 weeks of her program.. YES!! ONLY 13kgs!!!! That woman is so clueless on her great success! So I just reassured my consultant that it's the woman's problem and not her problem.. You can't lose 50kg's in one month - that's just unrealistic.

I'm writing so many tests at the moment. I wrote on Monday and next week I'm writing Zulu and Subject Methodology. It's really tiring..

Hope u all have a great day!!

Lotsa Luv,
Luvbug xxx

Hi everyone and Starfish!
because the lady that weighed before me was nasty to her. Why? Because she only lost 13kg's in the first 4 weeks of her program.. YES!! ONLY 13kgs!!!!

Can you believe the stupidity of that woman?!
She probably complains while she's having .......! ()
There is just no pleasing some people!
I bet your consultant was grateful that you came along after that Luvbug!
Sorry you had such a boring week-end. I have been bored for a couple of days & I do not usually get bored. Let's put it down to the full moon or something. Take care & continue being happy & brightening our days, xo Cate

 

[Luvbug]

Hi Cate,

Yes, I could NOT believe my ears!
Hehehe, silly woman!!

Thank you for the nice words

Hope you have a great (not boring) evening!!! hehe

Keep well,

There are some people who want the entire responsibility for their life and their problems to be on someone else's shoulders.

I just remember the first time around on Cohen's being SO GRATEFUL that I finally had someone helping me fight my own demons! But some people think that they just enrol, pay up and then someone else has to get rid of the whole problem immediately.

I would probably find being a Cohen's consultant very stressful! I'm sure they have LOTS of wonderful people and stories, but I wouldn't handle the ones like the ungrateful, rude lady very well!

Well done on the weight loss - you are really cruising and I'm sure you'll be at your goal weight in no time!

 

[Cate]

Hi Luvbug- I hope you have a lovely weekend. I will be away until Monday night in Melbourne. I am really looking forward to it & have some nice things planned. I'm feeling heaps better so will enjoy it. Sending you a big hug, xo Cate

 

[Luvbug]

Hi Cate!

Thanks a lot, lady. Hope your weekend is amazing as well!!!
Enjoy Melbourne

Stay sweet and chat on Monday!

Lotsa love and massive hugs,
Luvbug

100% with you !!!

I just feel bad for those ppl who can't take responsibility, shame.

I really have respect for consultants, thus I treat her like a treasure - cause she really is

Thank u so much for the nice words *hugs*

Hey Luvbug!!

How are you today?? NICE cold saturday! I feel like going shopping but my vallet is so flat and pay day is still so far away!! I need to stops spending money I dont have (Im very bad with money and things like saving) So Ill just have to stay home--my bf also works most times on the weekends so Im most of the time alone at home-- me and my parrot hangs out the whole day! She is very naught and has decided to make a 'nest' in the bathroon on the floor-- she gets very teritoial and runs and bites my bf's tones when he goes into the bathroom!! HAHAHAH they dont realy like eachother and fights alont! LOL! She knows exactly who he is!!!

Strange story you told about the lady that was unhappy about her loss of 13kg-- sounds like that lady is a bit detatched from reality-- YIKES!! Its a very stupid out look on life!!

You think you get bored-- hell -- my bf says that Im permanently bored- takes allot to realy stimulate me for a long time! LOL! I see it more like being restless- like you want to do something but you just dont know what!

Hope that you having a better one this time! If you studying-- good luck!! Its almost holidays again, so keep strong!

Sending you huggs and a little badge with a star on it!!!

Chats soon soon!
mwah!

Hi everyone! Hi Cate, Niyah, Starfishy!!!!

Woww..what a week so far! I wrote my last semester test today -- Zulu -- it kinda went okay I think. Hopefully I'll get my 80 *fingers crossed*

Next week is block week at the university, which means no class. The exams start on the 1st of June, which is kinda stressful.

I'm going home this weekend, to visit my parents, for about 2 weeks. I'm going to study and practice to get my driving's license. (yup, I don't have one yet! LOL)

I'm really excited to weigh myself next Thursday (end of week 8) - I'm not expecting much, but I'd like to see some progress!

Hahahaha, Starfish -- the story about your parrot is hilarious! I almost fell off my chair laughing hehehe! Thanks for sharing that, it made my day
I'm sure that your bf hides from her a lot. lol

We should really make plans to meet up and maybe even go party sometime !

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping strong!!!
Strongs for the rest of the week.

mwahhhhh!!!!!
Luvies, Luvbug xxx

 

[Niyah 01]

Have a really nice holiday home, Luvbug! I'm sure you'll see those scales racing down the slope.

 

[*Starfish*]

Heyheyheyhey Luvbug!!

Thank you for your post! Im missing you too and been thinking about you alot!
We'll get together soon I pomise!

Im on lunch now-- busy with training at work BORING! And i realy have to concentrate-tricky stuff! BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY

hehehheheheh Well if you think that you are the only one thats getting a license late! DONT FEEL ALONE! I also only got mine when I turned 21-- I figured--- I dont have anything to drive so why the hell must I do my lisence-- and I dont want to drive someone else's car-- so whats the point! I did it when I had something to drive! (and thats only when I started working)heheheh So ye,there are no problem with that! Its nerve recking though! eeeeeeeeeeeekkk I went for a couple of driving lesson-- but I still craped myself on that day! I suggest that you do your license in a quiet place-- I did it in my home town-- there is not one traffic light-- so it made it easy! LOL! Just stay focused!

oooooohhhh Block week----Nice-- although for me it was like a stress week always- never got anything done--but at least you going home-- saves you the temptation of going out or hanging with friends! The end is so near for you! Just hang in there-- after this exam there is only one more major one! Then you a TEACHER! yay! Although the grown-up world is not as much fun as careless varsity! LOL!

HEHEHEH yes you must meet Pi-ko-- she is a little chicken! LOL! KEEPS ME VERY BUSY! the nesting thing in the bathroom is still going on! eeeek crazy bird!

My bf sort of aggreed to follow the diet with me-- so Im adapting my program a bit for him-- just following the guidlines and cooking the same for him too-- a little bit more weight than my portions-- but the same kind--! He decided to take it for a test run before he can commit to something.... We'll see how it goes! Hopefully he drops something-- it will make him more eager to commit!
I try and do the best to support him!

Yes and I ALSO FEEL FANTASTIC! Besides from being tired from work-- Im fine!

WE GOING TO DURBAN NEXT WEEKEND! YAY!!!! From Friday to monday! Cant wait!!! Havnt seen the ocean in such a long time! And im sticking with my program no matter what ! Havnt deviated once (besides my cracker counts-oops) but for the past ±8 weeks I have been following my program as close to 100%! You also! GOOD FOR US YAY! If you can go on holiday and stay on Cohens-- so can I -- thank you for being my inspiration!

Let know how the Zulu went-- -- Amazi-- thats all I remember lol! AHAHHAH

Ive been hovering at the 72kg mark for like 1 and a half weeks-- and then just like that I dropped to 70kg-- so THE 60's ARE IN SIGHT! hooooooohooooooooowwwwooo! Cant wait-- actualy some of my pants I cant wear anymore-- to baggy and looks scruffy! WELL I DONT HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT! I have seen a slow down though but its not bothering me at all! My next weigh-in is on the 2nd of June-- so about 2 weeks away! also cant wait-- I take my consultants wieght as the offical weight to date! CONFIRMED!

Good luck with the studying my friend! I'll be thinking about you! If you can post from your Home-- I'll look out for your posts! one of these days you will be on holiday and then I'll be jelous again LOL!

Good work and keep it up! Sending you a virutal card-- GOOD LUCK WITH THE EXAMS! PLEASE KEEP ME UP TO DATE!

lostahuggs!

Day 7 of Week 7!!!!

Hi Starfish!!!!! Hi Niyah, Hi Cate and hi to everyone else!!



Thank you, Niyah.. I'm sure I'll enjoy it a bit too much hehe

Thanks for the post, Starfishy! Yeah -- we should hook up soon, so to speak.lol

Shame man, how is the training?
I've also been BUSY, BUSYYYYYYYY! But now I'm off for a bit

Yeah, exactly! I haven't needed a license yet, so I didn't even bother. I will need one next year when I start to work, (*tum tum tummmm!*) though.
So I'll just get it now, so that I don't leave it to number 99..
I'm sure it's nerve wrecking!!! I get nervous driving in the passenger's seat in Joburg! LOL!
That's why I'm going to get it in my home town.. It's nice and small and I'm going with my friend's Chevy Spark. It's tiny, so parking will be a breeze!!!
I'm quite nervous to do it..but I know that I CAN do it!!! *holds thumbs*

I used to be so excited to start to work, but the last few weeks I've realized how much I'm going to miss student life! Working every day for 8 hours will need some getting used to..damn. lol
But at least I know that I will enjoy my work -- that always helps!

Hehehe, I'd love to meet Pi-ko - as long as she won't bite me.. lol.

WOW -- that's so cool about your bf also following the diet! Tell him that I wish him all the luck in the world
Yeah, just support him..it's NOT easy. But usually men find it easier than women to stick to something like this, so if you make his foodies for him, he'll be fine! Oh..just keep Steers away from him hehe

I also feel AWESOME!!! I went window shopping at Cresta this morning..and I fitted a ton of clothes LOL
Mainly clothes for work and so forth. I'm happy to report that I fit into a real size 8!!! Well, the pencil skirts and jeans fit, but the pants are still a bit tight. ALMOST though!!
I LOVE fitting clothes -- it really inspires me to see how new sizes fit and how I look in new kinds of clothes. Whooo hooo!!

Ahhhh, you must enjoy Durban!!!!
I'm sure you'll have great weather there.. Jozi is a bit chilly at the moment. Okay, a lot! hehe
Yeah, you CAN stay on program on holiday! Just be prepared at all times..
Keep your crackers and fruit with you during the day for snacks. You'll be fine! Oh, just remember your kitchen scale!

It's amazing to know that we haven't deviated once! Whooo hooo to us! WE ROCK!!!!

CONGRATS on the 70kg's! OMW that's awesome!! I haven't weighed since my weigh-in with my consultant.. I'm going to weigh next Thursday though - the end of week 8!!! Can you believe that we're almost past 8 weeks? It's totally amazing!! We're cruising through this...
I'm sure you'll weigh-in will go fantastically! hehe!

My Zulu test went quite well I think.. Niyabonga, sisi!

I'll definitely still post from home -- so don't disappear

Keep well and good luck for the boring training!
Enjoy Durban!!!!!!!!

Mwahhhhh!!! & HUGSSS!!!!!

Hi Luvbug- Still going great, still highly motivated & still making me smile! Good luck with the license. Driving is not as nerve wracking as being a passenger! Enjoy your stay home with your parents. Size 8!!! WOW!!!!! Well done! xoxo Cate

 

[Luvbug]

Hi Cate,

Thank you for the lovely words

I AM highly motivated! I can't wait for my next weigh-in

I'm kinda stressed about the whole license thing..but I'll just try to stay calm and collected

Hope you have a great weekend!

[Luvbug]

Hello everyone

I'm at home and I'm so happy to be here

Tomorrow morning I'm going for a driving lesson with an ex traffic cop..I'm kinda nervous..eeeek!

Diet-wise I'm all set. I've got my foodies and my scale, so I'm happy to go!

Chat tommorow!

 

[Cate]

Hi Luvbug- You'll be right. Be as sure of being able to get your licence as you are about losing weight on Cohen's. You know you can do it! xo Cate

 

[*Starfish*]

Heyhey Luvbug!

Hows moms cooking? LOL I guess you cant realy tell hey! LOL! Just messing around! Glad to hear that you got home eventualy and also that you arrived savely! It must be muuuuuuuuchhh colder there in the Freestate than here in Jozie! Brrrrrrrr! Im going to put the heater on now just thinkink of it! Im so cold lately---my bf says its because Im loosing blubber and cannot keep myself warm anymore! HELL I hope thats not true and that I will climatise soon! Rather hot than Cold for me thank you very much!

How is the driving lessons coming along? I hope ok! Just listern to the dude and remember to look into every street you pass hey! And to turn like a moraan with your hands on the steering wheel (that is such a doff rule) No one realy drives like that in reality~!

My parentals are coming to baby-sit Pi-ko on the weekend! The poor bird is a real 'mommy's bird' and I cannot just leave her with anyone! Has to be someone she knows or preferably a female! She loves my mom so im happy that they are coming to help out! Its always a issue to figure out what to do with her if we want to go away! Im also a paranoid mother and wont have a good time on holiday if im not sure about my baby! Ag shame she is so tiny!

Im so looking forward to the weekend!

I have a rather (i dont know how to describe) appointment tomorrow! (The womans doctor-down there) eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk Im so freeked-out that I even took the day off tomorrow-- Im sure I'll be disturbed after that! But its one of my new years resolutions and I promised myself that I wont put it of any longer! Ive never been and Im almost 25-- its about time! No need to live ignorantly! eeeeeeeeeek Im still freeked out about it!

Glad to hear the you are well prepared and ready for the week there! Keep it up! Im sure you are looking forward to your weigh-in!

I think we in week 9 already--- FANTASTIC STUFF (ive sotra stopped counting so please correct me if im wrong)

Hope you well girl! Missing you around! Lemme know how things are going!
