Got a phone call from the real estate agent late yesterday afternoon to TELL me there'll be another home open tomorrow. No word from the landlord, and no bloody notice
.
Does this mean I'm expected to spend the second Saturday in a row cleaning the house for her? Yes of course it does! I feel SO violated by this crap - just about had enough of it.
So I did what every responsible person would do - went and bought myself a new wide-brimmed floppy hat, dug the sunscreen out of the back of the cupboard, put some water bottles in the freezer overnight… and I'm going to spend the next two days at the cricket. Strangers can come and look at the house - but it won't be pretty
Gen you must be getting excited! Do you have accommodation and everything else lined up or do you do that once you get there?
Vonni I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. But Gen's right - it could very well be because you're cutting sugar back.
Kel you've got to use Optifast to learn how to eat properly - not so you can cheat with junk
. Otherwise you'll end up putting that weight back on and we don't want that to happen. Losing weight is a process of trial and error, and patience and frustration, of learning and growing more healthy. I know we live in a world now where we want a quick fix for everything - but there is no known quick fix for obesity. It's a hard job, and it requires us to be responsible and educate ourselves.
I'm really struggling to eat 1500 cals/day - especially with all this other crap going in. For the last three days I've eaten around 1600, and I think that until I move, and manage to get a second job, I'm going to have this ongoing battle.
I think this is the most difficult time I have had since I began my weight loss journey 18 months ago. Stress every day, routine out the window, my home being constantly invaded by strangers, landlords and real estate agents - and a COMPLETE loser for a housemate!
And THAT'S a story I won't even begin to bore you with.
I just hope I can hang on to my focus and motivation for the next month until I get through all this sh!t!!!

food in 3 days. The first couple of days I felt great even if my water intake wasnt that crash hot. But today is day 4 and I have CRASHED and BURNED . Not food wise... energy wise. I am sooo 
and feel like 
all the time. I am guessing it's due to my body working overtime to get rid of the toxins that have built up over so long. Am I right? Or does anyone know the reason why I would be feeling like this? HELP 
These peeps are wonderful. I'm 35, have 4 kids and 3 stepkids, in QLD. Been here for almost a year now and even though I lacked motivation and have only lost a few kilos since starting, this group keep me going. I have come to think of everyone as my friends .
lol im very happy . my weight has stayed equal this week but my waist has gone down.. good enough for me ..
I've kept track of my measurements and I rekon they're absolutely essential in terms of keeping you motivated and keeping you aware of your progress.
that's really cool. You've had a few cheats though so make sure you keep an eye on that. Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to have some pre-prepared low cal snacks handy? Just a thought 
and I'm taking the day off the gym. I'm meant to have 2 rest days a week so I'll do at least one long walk in the weekend.
men suck lol
