Cohen's Lifestyle Sams weight loss journey part.....2

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Sam, I completely get it. Really you don't need to put your body through Cohen's for a small amount like you have. I would do the same thing in your shoes.
Although I have been a bit naughty with Cohen's I have had aching around my kidneys. But I had my 2nd blood test last week and if there are any probs they will let me know.
Goodluck with it and I will stop in and see how your doing.
Don't be too hard on youself darl.

Thanks for your support moi, i appreciate your understanding.

Well I haven't been around here much and that is due to not being able to stick to any type of plan. You see my os went on camp this week but not without drama attached to it...he got sick and I had to get a medical cert clearing him to go and etc etc etc.
It worked out in the end but like i said it was last minute details like packing in antibiotics along with his normal allergy meds and then i was feeling anxious that my baby was leaving me for the first time and I am that highly strung that I have turned to stress eating.....over indulging with coffee's and sweets and I said to my hubby last night as I sat down to a rich desert "I said write me off this week" I am stress eating and i WON'T STOP till his home tomorrow afternoon. The funny thing about it I am not enjoying any of the foods i have been consuming....I know it is just something to fill the void till I know he is home safely.
I feel terrible at times...I feel like I come on here and wingh about so much and I don't feel very supportive to anyone here. I mean I have 6kg to lose!!!!!! so why can't I achieve this and move on.....IT IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!! TO SAY THE LEAST.

Anyway I going to sign off now.

Still no joy on getting refocused...hence the reason for not coming here too often.
Poured myself out in Cates diary....sorry Cate.
Anyway I need to go makeup my bed...and do some ironing. I am so behind with all my housework and to top all this off it's my 40th on Friday...woe is me.
I'm okay guys...I didn't reach my weightloss goal for my Birthday but I have to focus on the positives...I am healthy and have lost the majority through Cohens...so if I hadn't found Cohens I would still be over weight and miserable.
Goodnight all.

Sam, Stop beating yourself up & give yourself credit for your many strengths. As I said, you sound like a great mum, you care about others & your best years are yet to come. The 40's are wonderful years. I think it's too easy to sweat the small stuff & basically losing 6kgs is nothing to give yourself such a hard time over. Enjoy your life, enjoy your 40th on Friday and relax a bit. I know I do all these things too & that's why I'm telling you not to! It's not worth it. We all have to learn to relax & enjoy life. As Lauren says with her name....
Life is good! We just have to remind ourselves every day, xoxoCate
 
Cate
you are so right!!!!. I sometimes wish we could meet and just talk all our issues out...when I read you diary and Laurens it's like we are experiencing the same struggles especialy since completing refeed.
I know I will get into the losing zone again it's just knowing when and hoping it won't be too much longer and then i wake up one morning and then I am back to my orignal weight!!! That is a big fear factor for me.
And yes I am looking forward to my 40th, hubby taking me out for dinner Friday, his planning it. I just need to relax and enjoy life a bit. I had my hair done today...NO GREY HAIRS..yippee till regrowth occurrs.
Have a goodnight will read everyones diary tomorrow when I have more time.

Hello!!!

"Hi" Just popping in to say just that. Not much happening on the western front. I had a pre Birthday lunch with some friends and they bought me some lovely gifts, I wasn't expecting it. At the moment I feel sick I had one glass of wine and I got a wopping headache and still have it....I actually feel like vomitting:puke: that's how bad it is. The kids had a Birthday party after School and I am washed out from all the activity.
Tomorrow I have a few coffee functions set up and hubby was planning dinner and stuff but I would prefer (at the moment) just with the way I am feeling to stay home and have a bbq with kids and go to bed early. We have to be up early for soccer on Saturday anyway.
Well on the "Weightloss Front" there is no activity whats so ever. I did mention in Cates diary that I think I will go back on Cohens for 2 weeks and see if this weight will come off. You wish there was an easier way but if there was everyone would be doing it I suppose. I just need to get myself mentally prepared to go back on Cohens, this means curtailing my going out which will be difficult with my excessive coffee mornings etc. And I want to continue my current exercise schedule and maybe change the group fittness day to just walking....the GF sessions have been irritating my neck and back. I love the swimming so I will definitely keep this up and also I will need to reassess my vibe exercise I have a few lessons still owing but it is pretty expensive.
So to get back onto Cohens I need to get myself organised and prepared and just get it happening. I truely believe the longer you leave it the harder it will be to get refocused and on track. I hope to start this Monday and take it minute by minute to get me through the first day.
Please pop in anyone and give me encouragement to get this underway.

Bye now
Sam:)
 
Hi Sam,

Just quickly popping in to say hi! :seeya: Good luck for Monday, your week sounds busy. My niece came and visited me on Tuesday with her mother and boy was she busy. She's just over 2 years old now, and very stubborn. But I love her more than I thought was possible so I don't mind. I'm not sure how I'll be able to cope with children in the near future. I'm 29 and me and the WF have settled down so much. We're like retired people really :) Lots of soft music, quiet and reading. :) But maybe the chaos will keep us young, he he he. I hope the rest of your week is pleasant. And I believe in you, you've done this before, you'll succeed again. :)
 
Hi Esthee
So happy to see you back. Hubby and I waited 9 years to have our kids (our decision).
So I could have had a 16yo and a 13yo instead I have a nearly 9 and 6 year old cheeky boys. I do admit to getting tired and cranky at times but this is greatly reduced when eating a proper diet.

Well I have just returned from my 40th Birthday dinner. I chose a gourmet hamburger dinner and then we walked the scenic route home which entailed a very steep hill to our house....in heels of all things. I had a lovely day with friends and also yesterday and received some very special and thoughtful gifts. Tomorrow is soccer then my brother who celebrated his birthday this week as well (April 1st) will be coming over for morningtea and then we will celebrate my birthday again with the boys and get a cake (more so for them then I).
I hope everyone else is doing well...it is quiet in here (again).
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
Sam:)
 
:party: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM :party:


Enjoy the rest of your celebrations, hope they are jam packed with lots of fun, love and laughter!

Happy Birthday Sam!!
Hope your next 40 are the best 40 years anyone could possibly have!
When you're 40 that seems like a strange thought, but when you're almost 55 it doesn't seem quite so strange! LOL, xoxoxo Cate.

Thanks very much for your wishes Esthee and Cate.

I have had a lovely Birthday.
It has been a bit frustrating here tonight though the web address has not responded and I haven't been able to post. I tried in yours Cate with no luck.
Thanks again. and here goes.

Thank You

Hi Annie and Kannadew:D

Thank you for your Birthday wishes:waving: and so sorry I missed it.
It has been so quiet in here lately that I didn't even check.

I had a wonderful few days celebrating and I still have a weekend away to plan for hubby and:beating: I and also I have a girls champagne breaky coming up in the next few week. So I am definitely making up for not doing anything for my 30th:rotflmao:

Glad to see your back Annie I must swing by and check out your diary.

Thanks again guys.:seeya:

Sam:)
 
Sammmmmmmm ...where are you???????

Need you to make up the oarsome foursomes 5 k challenge (read my diary - that comment will make sense...doh!!)

Hope all is good and you're well!!

Hi Annie

I've been a bit down in the dumps so i have stayed away.....I felt I was doing no one any good here including myself and was actually going to ditch the forum and move on BUT that was until you came up with this wonderful idea!!!!!.

What a fantastic idea.....tomorrow I hear you say. I have actually got back from a weekend away at my sisters and I feel literally sick from the food I have overstuffed myself with and I am soooooo......ready for this.
I have already signed up in your challenge thread so will see you all there tomorrow.

Goodnight from me.

Sam:)
 
Hi sam,

So glad you didnt ditch us, you are such an asset on this forum with your support, your informative posts, your advice etc etc

I think the challenge is something alot of us in here need.

Happy you have joined us, we will just see how we go, if we fail, we will start again, none of us are here to judge, just support.

Your weekend sounds similar to mine, except I didnt go away, I just stuffed my face in teh comfort of my own home...doh. I was so ready to start today, it's only been a day and already my stomach just feels better..this program rocks!!

Chat soon

Feeling a bit better then yesterday but just a little. I have the dishwasher man coming between 1 and 3pm today so I am a bit agitated about this, which makes it hard for me to relax and catch a kip. I have a friend dropping the kids off today so that helps.
I have also had to cancel a lingerie party scheduled for tomorrow, I was also agitated about this. Just call me agitated Sam. I was discussing with my dad who by the way will be 81 this year why I am getting all these illnesses and he said I am getting "old" and this is what happens.....not what I wanted to hear. Before last year I remember only having the flu back in 92/93 - last year I got it twice and very severely and this one has just crept up on me.
I am adamant to see through this 5kg challenge though and even though I am not in the mood for eating I had a cup of soup and I am drinking lots of water. I have to admit yesterday I was craving sweets and I caved, but my body obviously needed it. I must say since turning 40 I have been feeling just that so I will need to reasess my eating patterns and exercise, after all I have young boys and I need to keep well for all of us myself included.
take care. Thanks Cate:)
