Can't believe I'm back :-(

[Mich]

Hi everyone! Even though they posted the program yesterday, I still didn't receive it in the mail today!

Never mind, it will 100% arrive tomorrow, so I'm doing breakfas and lunch off the old program, as I don't want to delay another day!

This is it. My time to shine! (slightly scared, well make that absolutely terrified!)

[Demonicgirl]

Yay! You can do it.

[Mich]

WEll Day one, so far so good.

Did a bit of a shop, and am extremely annoyed at this damn sugar withdrawel headache!

doing that Day one normal shuffle, this si the time when i'd try to restart my old program, that i'd waver, and "start tomorrow" holding on strong so far, need that zone.

Rebooked my trip to Italy for the 7th of September, so need to be pretty much done by then!!!

I suppose I should do myself a ticker...

off to have a hot bath, and an early night after my cohens dinner.

Happy Cohening everyone!

Yay for getting thru your first day! You can smash this! Hardest part is over! Keep going
Your hot bath sounds like the perfect way to end your day! Enjoy it!! x

Yay for day 1. Good idea for a hot bath and early to bed.

Italy will be a great incentive to lose those pesky kg's. I remember seeing only bikini's on beaches - even on the 80 year olds - I felt so out of place in my one piece. How I would love to go back now and really enjoy those beaches and the warm water.

Day one is over, and wishing you well of the next few until the zone is reached.

That's it, gotta get through those first few days and into the zone!

[Mich]

Thank you for visiting everyone!

Day 3 done and dusted. Ironically, I've had the roughtest few nights. Extremely emotional and not really something I want to get into here. I fought cravings of wine, cookie dough (i never cooked it, just ate it raw!), bbq shapes and the list goes on.

Oddly, all I did was bawl. Really ugly cry. Im not a big crier, I guess I eat or drink my emotions away, so it was so odd to sit down and just ugly cry. Did it till 1am this morning. was like a tap! hahahah in hindsight its kinda fully.

So here I am, end of day 3, deviation free. Frankly, its a miricale.

Had a sneak peak at the scales this morning. exactly 1kg down in 2 days. gotta be happy with that. we all know its not fat, but boy its motivating.

I can't wait to italy and yes, i'll be in a bikini! i was at the end of my last cohens stint so I have beautiful alanah hill bikinies in my wardrobe that I can't wait to pull out again. AND i have a white string bikini!!! ooooo yay!

i have so many beauitful clothes in my wardrobe from when I finished last time, I can't wait to ge into them again, so I wont' be spending too much money over the next few weeks.

Lildol, and WB.. good to see you again, thanks for popping by!

Happy weekend every one x

Hi Mich!! We were here together last time Welcome back I'm just sorting myself out to come back too, as have a bit to lose after having my baby (a year ago eek!!)

[Mich]

you had a baby!!!! congratulations beautiful angel!!! give me all the goss!

So happy to have you back xxx well.. not i the weight way, but you know what I mean.

[Reenna]

Hi Mich,

A lot of us are still here, struggling to lose the kgs. gained. At least, you are on the right track by coming out in the open and declaring you gained weight and need support to be able to succeed the second ( or nth) time. You can do it!

[lil_doll]

Hey Mich!

Great job not dealing with your emotions with food! You should be so proud of yourself!!

[AlmostEden]

G-day Mich,

There is nothing quite like a good ugly cry. God it hurts though. Hugs

Congrats on starting the program and staying on track...even while stunned in the headlights of adversity. You are a superstar. Good luck on your journey...and getting into the slinky swimwear in Itali. Lucky thing...ciao

How are u going Mich

[AlmostEden]

Mich???

[Mich]

ugh!!!!! I need to give myself a good kick up the butt! one day i'm on plan, next I'm off, I've flipped flopped around this first month and should be at least 6kgs lighter!!!

I think its because I'm single, I keep going out, partying and having fun. But I have to start because when I am out, I feel like a lump!!!
agggggggggggggggh

Okay everyone, kick my butt, I need it!

[waydon64]

Mich
I'm 1 week in second time round and first time round lost 40 but now I'm back with 45 and extra 5 for penance want to buddy up ?

[ciaranfurness]

You can do this hun!! You've done it before, you just need to get organised, plan your meals and follow through. I have faith in you, come join me second time around, can do it together again xoxox

[Greeni]

Hey,

One day at a time.... Look forward, you can't change the past but you can change the present....
All of us second timers had to take a few starts until our head space was right and in the zone

[lil_doll]

You can do it, Mich!!

Think about what you want more? A few nights out feeling like a 'lump' or to achieve your goal??!!
