It's a perfect day...

Well it's been a while Cohens Community.

I started Cohens maintenance on the 5 Nov 11 after losing 38kg.

It's just past midnight on 23 Feb 17 and I need to lose 26kg again. I am extremely disappointed that I am here again.

I am going to give my old plan a go. If it doesn't seem to be working I'll go get a new one.

Hey Nick,
You aren´t the only one here doing second round Cohen´s. I graduated my program 2012, and back again where I started. I tried using my old plan but found myself ordering a new prescription after many failed Day 1´s. Now that Im on a new plan, Im cruising along and now on Day 30.

My new plan had added proteins that were included in the list, so that was nice to know. You may want to connect with your clinic to get some updates.

Here´s to a successful second journey!
Cheers,
MM

Well this is day 1.

I just had my first Cohen's breakfast - an egg and some veges.

Hey Nick

I have become enamoured of Eggs Florentine ... everything always tastes better with a fancy name

I like to bake the egg, and have one of those little cast iron fry pans which does a lovely job. It's nearly as nice if done on the stove top with a lid but as mentioned in my diary, I tend to wander while cooking even one egg (the concentration of a gnat!) so baking works best for me as they are less temperature critical

Keep a Food Chart so that you remember where you are up to. I have a little crispbread caddy for the day's allowance and got a pill caddy so that I can remember to alternate a flaxseed with a fish oil capsule (plus the assorted other V&M and Calcium tablets) across the week. Zip lock sandwich bags are ideal for freezing meat portions, I have a box in the freezer for filing pre-cut chicken and meat.

And you're off! Cohen's is such an amazing adventure! We do many things in our lives but very few actions are literally, just for us. Cohen's Program is something so intensely personal it is unique.

Cohen's 2006 I didn't tell anyone for quite a while (it was MY program, not theirs, and I didn't want to hear everyone's opinion on what I SHOULD be doing), but once the weight loss started to show I then made sure I told everyone!

So let us walk this walk alongside each other, oh We of the Forum, and the strength in our numbers means we can and will achieve our Goals!

Lotsa love
Kristine
