My slimming journey

Hey - you had a salad on bbq day - now, that's discipline. Here we have Greek fest in April..or May! I can't wait!!! I love Greek (all Mediterranean food really - I lived in Spain (3yrs) & Italy(5 months))
I really hope your back pain gets better - it sucks.
Go walk on the beach - it will make you feel better!!! Good energy & all that! :D
Happy International WomenS Day to you too :)
 
I'm sorry you back is so sore and that your loss isn't going how you want. Don't worry too hard. As long as you are close to staying on your plan the weight WILL come off!
 
The last few days have been crazy busy...and it's not even wedding season yet.

We had a great weekend.........AND.....had my first cheat in almost 10 weeks:eek2:. A few of us went to Ocean Basket...it's the best seafood restaurant in the world!! They also make the best sushi and if you've been following my diary I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SUSHI!!

I had only 2 pieces of sushi and had lemon butter over my prawns and fish and I had a salad. So there is my confession and miraculously I didn't pick up AAAANNNYYY weight, I dropped 400gram. This was a one time only thing, will not do it again as I have a looooong road ahead of me.

I'm 3.1kg off my first mini-goal and another announcement.............I'm starting 30 day shred today!!! Well that's the plan, we will see if my back is ok, I will take it slowly just to assess the back situation.

So all in all I'm still on a roll!!

Plans for the week is to go look for some more ruins and old building and pretty beaches for our brides. Only about 10 weeks left and then wedding season starts - SOOOOOOO CANT WAIT!!! I really love my job and feel so blessed to do what I LOVE/ADORE/HAVE A PASSION FOR!!

Wishing y'all a fabulous week!!
 
Weddings in Cyprus must be pretty spectacular. It's a gorgeous part of the world. Cleveland it ain't. :)

No offense to any Clevelanders on here, but then you probably wouldn't disagree either.
 
what a great job you have Mands!!
I love your cheat :p mmmm seafoood & Sushi!! :drool5:

Good luck with the next mini goal!
 
Hey Mands - you are doing so great - no worries on the bit of seafood - we all need little breaks here and there, makes it easier to stay on the road in the long-run...

Can hardly wait to hear about your 30day SHRED- it sounds like a serious work-out.

cheers, Maryann ;)
 
"cheating" is "healthy" Being crazy strict all the time isn't a good idea, cause you don't want to have to live crazy strict your whole life! You want to work in foods you like so you learn to be able to live that way!! Have fun doing the 30 day shred!
 
Hi Mands just catching up on your diary! , i remember you saying we had similar goals and were at similar stages so just wanted to say howdy and congrats on your awesome loss so far! I too cheated at the weekend, it was my birthday (so thats my lame excuse :p)
Your sooo close to your next mini goal keep it up!!
 
Just a quick pop by as we have been so busy and I'm quite exhausted at night. And not really feeling like coming on here.

Back is not too good so we bought a back brace yesterday for a little support. Need it to be better by May. Will start with some lower back exercises tonight to strengthen the muscles.

So 30 day shred on hold for a few days. Don, 30 day shred is an exercise programme by Jillian Michaels(biggest loser trainer) Here's a link you can see

I haven't been cheating and I haven't been weighing either. This back story just made me lose my mojo. I'm following the diet 100% but its like I'm on automatic and just plodding along.

Anyway..... tx for stopping by everybody. Really really appreciate the support!!
 
Hey Mands - so sorry to hear your back is so bad -:svengo: hope the brace and exercises help...

good work to be sticking to the diet - despite all your back troubles... hang in there gal,
 
Glad you're continuing on with the diet even with your bad back. Hope you recover quickly and without complications.
 
Mands, I'm sorry to hear about your back sweetie. Use the opportunity to stick to the program 100%, knowing that you will lose weight without any exercise. Hope you feel better soon xoxo Cate
 
Hey Mands - hope your back is feeling better .... .... take care of yourself gal
:(
 
Still checking in on you, Mands. I know it's hard right now, but do not quit. Do the best you can... anything is better than not giving in.
 
Sooo I faded a bit from my diary and your diaries, apologies for that. Just sooooo much happening at the moment.

The back brace is doing wonders on my back and my back is feeling sooooo much better. Now just the coccyx, but unfortunately there is no quick help for that. But I will survive!

We have been running around to sort out some company stuff and get all our paper work sorted out with our accountant. Also a local photographer who is feeling a tad bit threatened has been stirring up some troubles for the rest of us as he is not getting the business and business is coming our way and to the other photographers - complete ass!! But he is digging his own hole and losing credibility on the brides forum. So we'll just sit and watch....

Then on further news....So if you are not aware of the current situation in Cyprus: Our banks are in debt and about to go bankrupt because they lent money to people who are unable to repay it . Same has happened in Iceland, Italy, Ireland, Spain and Greece. The EU bailed out all of them except Iceland. Iceland let their banks fail, but their deficit wasn't as big and they protected the Icelandic investors and let the foreign ones lose their money.

A once-off 6.75% levy was going to be imposed on all deposits and that send people to the streets in protests. Now that decision has been withdrawn and we are waiting to see if Russia will help us out - talk about economic melt down!! How do people in power mismanaged an entire island's money??

Our banks have been closed for the week and we are unable to draw money....VERY SCARY!!

All doom and gloom hey BUUUUUTTTT great news I'm down to 90.9kg. Only 1kg away from my first mini-goal!!! Haven't deviated and still going strong even though soooo much negativity going on!! I'm very proud of myself as the old me would have grabbed some chocolate slabs looooong ago.

Summer is almost here and we are just a few weeks away from wedding season! Looking forward to kick the season off with a bang!!

Happy losing y'all!
