Well its taken me a few days to get the head right since my last post, its finally all in check and im back on track.
This morning has me thinking about goals, what ive achieved and what i want to achieve..
* To date ive lost 11kg - big tick, very happy with that.
* My first major goal was to lost 10kg, proud to say ive done that!
* My second major goal, 70kg, is only 4kg away, i can almost hear it whispering to me!
* My next mini goal is 4.1kg away (to be in the 60's) again, very close.
* And my next major goal (65kg) is 9kg away, very do-able i think.
I started out on this journey with the thought of losing a quick 10kg on cohens, then switching to a more flexible plan, instead ive lost the 10kg, hed a few weeks of normality and indulgence and have now returned to cohens as i like the mindset it puts me in, my moods are much more relaxed, even more 'stable' which is always a good thing, im more organised, thinking clearer and more focused and 'together' , all good reasons to stick with cohens i think. Ive noticed this time around just how much foods effect everything, lots of junk and processed food really does leave you feeling flat, lifeless and moody, who'dve thought that the experts would be right about that! haha.

its not what you know...
its WHO you know... isnt that what they say??
this has been proven twice this weekend, Jase and I went shopping for vinal for our floors, found a nice slate look one at a ticketed price of $70 per metre, our mate who is putting the floor covering down for us came with us, he is also good mates with the salesman, we were needing 13 metres of said vinal which came to $1000, Jase asked about the cash sale price, this is usually 10% discount, but the salesman takes out his calculator, runs a few sums and says 13metres, how about $500 guys?!!! I could barely contain my excitement at such a huge saving! half price! gotta love it!
later that arvo we were awaiting a plumber as we've been getting a few quotes on replacing an existing toilet, we were looking at between $300 and $400, so the plumber turns up and turns out he's a mate of my dads, $120 to install the new toilet! woot!!
in between these 2 instances Jase went to purchase some new brake pads for his car, first place was $320, 2nd place said $260, 3rd place he went to price them... $96!
ohh i do love a bargain!

hungry hippo
im struggling today, not sure why but im feeling very tired and hungry, maybe its the weather? maybe i should get a good multivitamin? no idea, but im thinking the multivitamin cant be a bad idea so i'll give that a go and see how im feeling as the days go on. Doing well on the weight front, 10.9kg gone and my weights been steady for a few days now. i must say that im loving not having the 'bloated' feeling i used to carry with me day in day out!
Corey enjoyed the week he spent with his father and im pleased to report he is starting to discover that the grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence...
i ve finished painting Brock and Dylans bedroom and it looks much nicer, lighter and even bigger! next project is to strip and re gyprock the hallway, paint that and then were getting a mate in to recover the floorboards, im very much over the timber floors and im going with slate look vinal from through the hall, lounge, kitchen,laundry and toilet and will carpet the bedrooms later in the year, will have to get them done one at a time as theres just so much stuff in them, not looking forward to that job! but for now im having a week off before i strip the hallway.
