Weight Loss Journals - petecohen.tv

Tonight was intresting but I do get very confused with what you should eat and about fats, I think I will have to get a book to read to be able to understand it properly.
Weighed myself this morning after week without bread,pasta,rice and potatoes plus I have also cut down on sugars and found that I have put on 2 lbs ! I told Pete tonight and he thinks its because I have been so stressed, so we will Keep Going as I am not finding it difficult to do and enjoying the change, but today I did have a bowl of porrige as I am wondering if I have not been eating enough so thought I would have a good start to my day.
Take care all x x x

Woke this morning shattered not surprising as out with yougest till 11pm yesterday and Wed doing sport things (him not me )
Had salad with Ham cheese and apple for lunch and this evening had a stir fry with some Turkey left from christmas followed by a very large fruit salad with yogurt and some grated dark chocolae on it.
I am so proud of myself as my son doesnt like stir frys so as a special treat I told him to go to the chip shop where he got fish and chips, when he undid them the fish look gorgeous but I didn't even pinch a chip, then after tea he got a bag of wine gums ( my favorite thing ) and offered to share them but I said no thanks, I can't beleive it and I didn't even feel bothered .
Just had a shower then going to make a cup of tea and watch Lost.
Nite nite x x x

Thsnks Ash and Sue for your food ideas, I think we should all go to Sue's tonight as tea sounds great.
Had chicken Tikka salad with a small helping of cheese for lunch then tonight had Pork chop, carrots, sprouts and mushrooms followed by fruit salad and yougurt. Extra's fruit, 1 fruit oatcake ( as I didn't have time for breakfast ) and 2 squares of dark choc, lots and lots of water..
Its not been as hard as I expected and I just hope it will give me some energy because at the moment everything seems hard work.

Hope everyone well
Take care x x x

Managed another day without any problems, Lunch was a ham and cheese salad folowed by pear with yogurt, tea mushroom omlette with grilled bacon and half a tin of tomatoes followed by a large fruit salad with yogurt ,extra's 2 small pieces of soft liquorice ( which I love ) and 3 cubes of Black and Greens chocolate.
Not sure what tomorrow will bring as I am running out of ideas. I am missing porrige in the mornings as it is filling and quick to make, Sue if you read this perhaps you can give me some idea's lol
Felt stressed at work as I feel as if I am drowning in paper work, with going to London last week I am so behind with my job.
Someone asked if I was OK as I looked so down, I have to do a presentation on what I learned in London on Monday s o trying to sort that out but must get my invoices on computor tomos.
Going to bed now, nite all x x x

I have not blogged for a couple of weeks,due to feeling really down.
I don't now why, think it could be partly hormonal and partly the dark weather but life just feels tough ,everything is hard work, I don't want to do anything I spend the evenings thinking of excuses for everything including going to work ( though I do go in and I love my job )
Tonight was good but I missed last Wednesday as I was on my way back from London.
Today I had no carbohydates which was weird having tea with no potatoes.
I will try to carry this on and to stop having sugar, but 2 weeks today it's Shrove Tuesday the start of Lent so I will be giving up sweets .
.I would love to be hypnotised as I want to do exercise but just can't make myself which I know sounds stupid but I just can't motivate myself. : (
I am looking foward to 20th March, I have booked tickets for train, show and travelodge but not sure about the meal are we suppose to book it ourselves or do we tell you Pete and you will book us in.
My daughter is coming to : )
I would love a one to one with Pete but at the moment I can't afford anything
perhaps when Pete comes back from Spain.
Love to all x x x

Last June I joined the programme 'to sort my Life out ' and it worked beautifully, with the help of the mp3 tape I learned how to relax and through feeling calm and relaxed I lost 19lbs wihout even trying.
But in December things went bad and I have put 5lbs back on.
I started January with the old hope and urgency and surprise it's not working.
Yesterday morning I ate 4 biscuits at work, I know the reason why, one of the girls was crying as her dauhter had been beaten up at school,she is a lovely 14 year old but she does have problems which her mum has tried to get help with school had not even contacted mum so she walked into the house to see her daughters bruised face.
This brings back memories as I used to be beaten up, knocked on the floor and kicked when I was at junior school and the school did nothing to help me, plus my daughter and youngst son have suffered at the hands of bullies.
Then last night I was late joining the session as my eldest was on the phone gutted because he had been offered a day's work doing something he really wanted then was told he couldn't do that as he was to important and was needed for a boring important job.
Then through the session my daughter was txting me as she was so upset as she had not got a good result at uni ( she pushes herself so hard ) after the session I spent an hour on the phone with her ,listening to her crying and trying to make life worth while ( she' a bit better this morning )
So instead of feeling calm and happy I felt stressed and miserable so I sat in bed and opened a large box of Maltesers I had bought me for christmas and ate.
So I have madea decision. I am going back to June, I am going to listen to mp3 tape daily ,continue to drink lots of water and eat slowly, then once I am calm in myself I can think about controlling my food and that nasty duck will go away.
Lots of love to you all and it was lovely to hear Hannah Biscuit last night.
So looking foward to the 20th March

Yes I am excited to be going on this journey and it is the right time for me, the last month is behind me and I am raring to go.
My tool for today was drinking lots water and tomorrow I am going back to eating slowly as I hadn't realise that I had started to eat faster again.
I was so proud of myself tonight as while making tea I was really hungry and instead of eating rubbish I ate a raw carrot ! ! ! Big pat on the back for me.
I feel so much better today , last night was really good and I feel so motivated and a lot calmer, Its so good to feel like this and I feel positive.
Thanks so much Pete, You asked us who are hero's are and you are definatly mine , you have such a wonderful way of boosting people and making them feel good x
In the christmas holidays I had to go in work for a photo shoot, I was not a happy bunny and made sure everybody knew this, well today the photo's arrived and I couldn't believe them, the photo of me was great ( what a shock ) I may even say beautiful but don't want to be big headed. lol
