Thanks

Hi Craig

Many thanks for your support. Hope your neck is better and headache gone. Resting is OK when you need it

“Do what you need to do, start again if you have to and stop letting what you feel get in the way of who you can become…”

That’s my issue. I really have to stop my feelings get in the way. “I feel stressed” leads to binging on chocolate and then I cant even study anyway because I feel too ill.

I have had 3 of 7 chocolate free days this week – Tues, Wed and Sun. That’s a fail in my book, but was a big achievement for me. Hard to go cold turkey.

Had a lot of late nights this week which didn’t really help. But I’m all set to go to the gym in the mornig + a 1hr walk.

Jules

Ciao,
the week was good, I ran 4 times (just 13 minuts each time, that was all), and I lost 0.5 Kg. The best thing is that I fell much better. Now I think it’s easier to start doing things instead of complaining all the time. I hope I can keep on in this way next weeks.
Ciao everybody!

Gidday all!

CRAIG, - hopefully the neck pain and headache is feeling much better by now!

UPDATE: - HAVE succeeded in getting at least 6.5 hours in bed since last Sun night every night except 2, and should sleep in tomorrow so should manage it then!

One night I planned to, had so much to do in the evening, got on a roll with cleaning, but had to STOP, leave a cleaning job unfinished to so I could go to bed. But still got there a bit late and only managed 6 hours that night after showering etc! And another night, - just heaps to do and I caught up with many people and only managed 4 hours 15 mins in bed!

However I stuck to what I set out to do, had way more time in bed than lately and realise I need to manage time better, prioritise sleep rather than ignore the need to sleep and be less productive in other jobs and eat crap to stay awake.

And am down 2.5kg since Monday, have stopped the crap, no choc, sweets, cheese or bingeing on on reasonable quantities and I've blitzed training too.

Keep up the great work all!!!

Pip

Hi Karen from McLaren Vale, this is Tricia from McLaren Vale. Im not sure if we know each other or not. But, you will probably know me before I know you because I am the one who you will see getting around town with crutches and a moon boot because I totally ruptured my achilles tendon last Thursday. So, if you see me, please introduce yourself.
Enjoy the Sea & Vines!!

PaulaC
First of all....I hope you feel better soon Craig.
Secondly, well done everyone on your success this week. For those quitting smoking, I applaude you. I am a quitter as well so I know how tough it is for you.
This week for me?? I'm doin'OK.:-)
This week I have managed to get my over due homework done and will be totally up to date after this weekend AND I actually made arrangements with a riding coach to start lessons again after many years break. I have only procrastinated over this for about 12 months. I feel alot more organised and controlled so my next step is getting my butt back in the gym.
Have a great week folks!
Cheers Paula C

Hi everyone,
Well my commitment to not binge eat hasn't exactly gone off like a frog in a sock (whatever the heck that means). I binge-ate very soon after making my commitment.

As everyone else who noted setbacks is doing, I have picked myself up and continued, hoping to report better progress next week.

Thanks everyone.

Hey Craig and all. My thing for this was to motivate myself into doing the online things I know I can do. I have been stopping myself for years from both a lack of confidence that I can succeed and also, I think, a fear of success as I have been told all my life I would not amount to anything.

So, how was week one for me? I actually got into a groove last weekend and put my main website up to see what happens. It is not quite as good as I pictured it, but hey! It's up and running with the next one in the development stage.

Gotta start somewhere and this is it. Have some great ideas that I WILL be following through.

Cheers
Ian.

I think it does have to be cold turkey Lisa K. You are right. Thanks.

Craig I sincerely hope you are feeling better soon.

Michelle, I do have kids, my own as well as classes of kids that all get up me about smoking. I do want to live a lot longer than that. So thanks for your motivation too.

Best wishes to fellow strivers - I'm recommitting and intend to report more positively next Friday!

Dear Craig,
I am about to send my first cyber hug ()- is that how you do it ?
No more fitting person to receive it, than yourself. Take care and thanks for giving us your encouragement even when you’re feeling unwell.
We’ll keep at it – hope you’re better soon,
