Day 1: Thou shall not give up on self

First step. Thats all there is. Just take the first step. Keep on trying.

I HOPE MY PROGRAM STILL WORKS!

Oh well, 1st day on the plan again for the nth time. I cannot even be bothered with coming up with a creative name to blog titles.

I didnt get to weigh though, bfs place doesnt have a scale. Will weigh on Day 3 and update my ticker.. Oh my word..I am so looking forward to that-- NOT! I will also take new measurements. Will continue to do yoga..

Had the usual meals. I really need to change this around. Thinking of buying this table top baking thing. I dont really need to bake muffins and all and I guess the small 1 will do. At least I can "bake"stuff somehow.

I am still not sick of cabbage and zucchini. I guess thats a good thing.

Im running out of vitamins. I guess I need to get those.

Close call this evening, bf had a steak pot pie. Smelled good, but as I recall it, it didnt taste as good as it smelled. So I said no :D

Had 2 cups of black coffee today, I hope I can get good sleep.

Day 1--> done!

Day 2: Spice up your life! :D

Damn the no spicy stuff!!! I still havent gotten over this. As part of my plan, I am not allowed spicy stuff like chili, cayenne, paprika etc and curries.

Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

There are tons of recipes which would have been lovely to substitute for my normal, and almost same old dishes, but nooooo... Im not allowed.. phewfft!!

Today was kinda hectic at work. I read a few diaries to catch up on who's on the journey, but am not ready to post again on the forum.. I just want this 14 days to be done and over with.

Its good to read the diaries, there is always that pull and strength that I feel which makes me think that I can actually do this for today. I know tomorrow is another struggle.. Heck during my good all CD times, it was a mind struggle almost everyday.  The drastic change, the tough lovin if you may, towards the 30years of bad eating habits, it is kinda jarring.

Oh well, same ol same ol.. Ive been there. As much as I cringe at the thought of re-learning my lesson, somehow I am also relieved that I know what to expect.

Day 2--> done!

Day 3: Weigh In

I weighed myself this morning 71.4kgs.. whew.. honestly i was expecting around 75-76.. but im glad that im not. I didnt get to measure though. I dont know if I should, just be lazy and watch the clothes fall off of me so I dont pressure myself much.

Same weight as in Aug 2014. Really?? But why do I feel so fat? like ugly fat? I am 5kgs lighter than when i started, that in itself is a good thing!

I adjusted my ticker to my top range goal weight which is 59kg, but my goal weight is 57kg. Thats 12-14kg away. I achieved 13.8kgs in 60days before, and Im not expecting it to be as fast this time. I will be more than happy to start refeed at -10kgs.

My program is online, and since I dont have access to support anymore I emailed them. I did get my refeed plan but did not go through it. Now, Im just feeling confused about it. I asked if I should try the exisisting plan for 2 wks if it still works, and if I can purchase a package that will allow me support access from them. And I got this reply

Thank you for your email. We are sorry for any confusion but your old diet that was based on your blood test results from February 2014. Since blood profiles keep on changing the diet is not a remedy for life but merely a personal diet for the time it was provided.

Since your blood profile has changed, that old diet is no different for you than any other "general" diet that you can copy from a magazine or find on the internet. If you wish to give Dr. Cohen's Personal Diet another chance then you need to get a new personal diet from Dr. Cohen that is based on your current blood profile.

Well I dont want to buy another program although I do understand that they are probably telling me whats the best way for me. I just dont want to spend that money just yet, until I see if this is working or not.

Anyhoo, today is day 3, so far so good. the struggle starts on the 4th day for me.. lets see.. I was feeling a bit of hunger today. By 4, I finished all my cracker allowance and drank 2 cans of coke zero. WAs tempted to take 1 extra cracker but controlled myself. Im just in Day 3 and have a long way to so I dont want to start from Day 1 again!

Day 3 --> done

Day 4:

Seems like my plan is still working (?) lost 600gms overnight. Can feel and see that the bloat is somehow gone. Too early to tell though.

Had a sleepless night yesterday. Relationship..rocky.. but apparently we will still keep trying..

Nothing much to report. Just really hungry..

Day 4-done

Day 5: :(

Ate pork adobo with rice with bf tonight. on the rare occassions that we cook together, the adobo seemed really yummy and felt good to share a meal with him..

jeez.. this is tougher than i bargained for

Day 6: Braai

Why to braii?

Was good during the day.. went to the beach and just lazed around, got my tan on for about 5 hours! With all the tanning oil and the 5 hr sun baking.. nobody even noticed my tan at home.. the boys were like.. "you always looked like that.. you're brown like that" hopeless..

Evening came they had one their "bruh" hahaha to sleep over .. Seems the 2 guys had a fight with this one 4months ago and were just on speaking terms now.. :D such sissies.. anyway.. so they braii'ed.

And so did I.

Day 7: Chucked it

Non Cohen day.

I am not serious as i think i am. If I were reading this diary and I am on a strict Cohen path, I will probably get tired of this blogger too.
