Weight Loss Journals - petecohen.tv

Hi everyone, just to say that I am pausing the programme for a couple of weeks. Have a holiday coming up so will be away for 10 days anyway. Its an all inclusive BUT I'm not too bothered as I actually lost weight on the last all inclusive I went on in May. So wish me luck and here is to some sunshine. Keep up the good work everyone. xx

Just wanted to say how much I appreciated a very kind gesture by Gilly. She bumped into me in the toilets while seeing Pete Live in Crewe, although at the time we didn't kn w either of us was on this programme. Anyway, to cut a long story short, she sent me a little duck key-ring, and it really helps to keep me focused on telling the damn duck to shut the hell up. Its great, and I wanted everyone to know that gilly is one of the good guys out there. So thoughtful. So thank you once again Gilly in a very public way.xx

Since my Acupuncture on Wednesday, I have been feeling a lot more positive about everything. I seem to have got a lot more done and am generally feeling good. I haven't exercised though for 2 days and guess what, I haven't beaten myself up for it because I know I will do some today and tomorrow etc. Must be the lovely little duck that Gilly sent me. A constant reminder!! xx

Well, I just wrote out a mammoth blog and then deleted it all as it came across that I was feeling a bit sorry for myself as my husband and I are like passing ships at the moment, and that is nothing to what Sue and Ash have been coping with recently,,,,so better to think of the positives and not the negatives, and not come across as some sort of sad person who doesn't know she is well off.
Sorry!!
Have a great day everyone.

Well I'm feeling a little left out in the cold here as I am at work while you are all enjoying yourselves with the old personal coaching. Sounds as if there were a few teething problems with the technicalitites, but otherwise you all sound very upbeat and positive. For someone who is feeling a bit of a failure at the moment, its hard!! I guess I've just had a low few days when nothing quite seems right with my world, BUT I have to ask myself what is actually wrong with it, when there are so many people worse off, in many ways, than myself. Why do I care what people think of me? Why is my confidence at an all time low?
I have to go on a course tomorrow for disability awareness.....that should bring me back into the real world, because I am not disabled for a start, so theres a positive. Wish me luck you lucky 8.30 people. :-(

Hey, Juicymoon - have I missed something, or haven't you started yet?
We are all here for you, especially me. :-)
Hope to read something soon. How is College going? You can tell us that at least. lolxx

Had lovely time in the Lakes this weekend. Thank you to all of you who wished us well. We stayed in Kendal but did a lot of walking in and around the Windermere area. Saturday was very overcast but warm and dry, so that was good. The far side of Lake Windermere was wonderfully quiet and so beautiful. We are so lucky to have such beautiful places to appreciate. Sunday was absolutely gorgeous weatherwise and we spent time in Lancaster, walking about to see what was what. Did you know that the prison is sort of integrated into the Castle? My other half has worked in the Prison Service for far too many years and I almost wish he had worked in Lancaster as the setting was amazing.
So, all in all it was lovely to get away, actually spend some quality time together which we hardly ever get to do as we both work shifts. The only problem was that we had to come back again....and I 've had a pretty stressful shift at work this morning. The general public strike again, I am not going to let them get me down as I do meet some very lovely people along the way.
Loads to do, so must go. I'm trying out a 'Boogie bounce' DVD for one of my customers today. Could be interesting.
Have a great day everyone.

Going away for the weekend to celebrate our Anniversary. Looking forward to getting off the merry go round for a couple of days. Lake Disrtrict here we come - lots of walking regardless of the weather. :-)

Aarrgh!!!! What a morning......my job involves working with the general public and boby oh boy did I get my throat ripped out this morning by a member of the senior generation. I wouldn't have minded but a) she was in the wrong,, b) she never gave me a chance to speak, c) she turned a puce colour of fiery red which matched her hair and d) when I had accomodated her into her exercise session, she sat for most of the time with her eyes closed causing an atmosphere in an otherwise friendly, relaxed environment.
As I had walked to work, on my way home, I was having to shut the flaming duck up that was still fired up. I thought to myself, why am I beating myself up for something that someone else has done? I even saw said culprit on my way home which of course started the damn duck up again......but now that I 've got all that off my chest....and had another glass of water....heres to the rest of my day.

Wish I hadn't just cut up some fresh chillies and then blown my nose!!! Aaaarggh!! Really NOT recommended. Takes your mind off everything else though!! :-)

Well everyone, what a morning and such a beautiful setting!! Apparently the Chelsea footie team had been staying in the hotel as they were playing Stoke yesterday...missed them though as we were in the Events Centre further away from the hotel.
Pete is just as enthusiastic and fun as you would imagine. I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted to all of you who have already seen him in the flesh...so to speak. I have to confess to feeling a little bit nervous at first but that soon went out of the window once Pete got into his stride. He is SO motivational and full of life. Such a thought provoking morning...the mind is a very mysterious organ....will we ever conquer it I ask myself? I just wish the whole thing had gone on longer and can only hope that Pete will come back up this way again. I felt quite priveleged to be there actually especially as I was expecting the place to be rammed and it wasn't.
I also met 'Blossom' very briefly, and a lady sat beside me who is joining us Petettes!!
Thanks Pete for making us feel so welcome - please come back up to the Midlands again soon. Lovely to meet you. Onwards and upwards is all I can say. :-) xx

Going to be doing some painting again today - the dining room. Only trouble is that on Sunday when I put the first coat on, I managed to get twisted up in my ladder ('A' frame) and ended up in a heap on the floor with paint splattered everywhere!! Got the bruises to show for it. So lets hope there isn't a repeat performance. Going to Crewe tomorrow to see Pete Live!! Taking a friend with me who knows nothing of Pete. Should be interesting!!!!

Been for a bike ride this morning which was great. Set me up for the rest of the day. Did about 10 miles. Have just been to the charity shop too to de-clutter some more. Always feel good after that.
Need to crack on though because have a late shift at work today.

Feeling pretty sorry for myself today following a tooth extraction and immediate temporary bridge being put in! What a start to the day....the positive side of things is that I don't want to eat anything. I'm not allowed to chew on it for 24 hours anyway, so I could be heading for the yogurt, or even a bowl of porridge. The second positive is that I now have a white tooth in replacement for a dead tooth, so its much more cosmetically appealing to the eye. The down side was the cost and we won't go there or I could get depressed.
Tomorrow is another day.:-)
