I began SP 01.01.2007. Hi my name is Celeste'. I'm 49years old. I'm a real peoples person, who loves life.
I will be so happy when I have reached my goal.
I lost 20kgs and regained them. But I'm determined to make 2010 work for me. I've been obese for more years than I care to think about.
In the beginning I really struggled with the fact that everything on this site is in pounds and calories, and in South Africa we work in kilograms and kilojoules, but I think I've ...

In the beginning I really struggled with the fact that everything on this site is in pounds and calories, and in South Africa we work in kilograms and kilojoules, but I think I've got the hang of it now.

SECOND YEAR : Okay I really did believe I would crack all my weight last year. I didn't, but I am proud of the fact that I still managed to lose a lot of weight. But that means I have to be up to the challenge of 2008. Its already April and its been a really hard struggle, unlike last year...but I'll just have to plug away and chip away till I get it all off.
Starting from 30/4 I'm trying to have as many 100% days as possible to try and lose the weight I regained before flying to see my dear sister on the 25/6.
I need all the help and support I can get to get back on track.
Anyone reading this....I'll be obliged if you check on me and kick my butt....with my permission...what size boot can I get you?

New entry....I did well for the first 10 months and then the wheels fell off big time. I make this new entry with as much honesty as possible and a fresh start. I feel angry and yet simultaneously strong tonight.
I can say no more except....I start again.

I am making a fresh start and PLAN to succeed this year. I finally heard a course called be-do-have and it makes SUCH sense to me. I believe it is going to be the "making" of me. Here goes............

My Goals:
My first goal is to manage 30 days of junk food sobriety. Reached

2nd goal is to lose 20 kilograms. Reached - and then regained 10kgs. So my 2nd goal is still to lose 20kgs.

When I reach the 2nd goal, I'll feel confident to make more.

I cant believe that I actually lost 20kgs. This is the 1st time in my life I've lost this much.
I'm just so mad and frustrated at myself for wasting time by regaining so many kilo's. But I'm back on track now and won't do THAT again.
The above statement didn't ending up being true....I did do THAT again. But I shall try once more.

I am finally succeeding. Its a different feeling I have inside me. I'm telling myself that it IS EASY - and it is... whereas the last couple of years I told myself it was hard..so it was.

My Program:
I've changed to eating healthy foods.
Included raw foods at least 3 times a week.
Very much smaller portions but more often.
Go for forest and beach walks with my family and my dogs. (this is a thing of the past with my sister moving away)
But it will now have to be the gym again. And back to small portions off a side plate and healthier choices.

Personal Information:
I live in a little but beautiful town called George in South Africa.
I moved here 19 years ago and want to live no where else.
I met my beloved husband here, and for me that rates George in my very good books.
Fortunately I don't have to make any changes to this section..as its all still the same. (Thank goodness - the honestly was almost killing me)

Other Information:
I love learning new things esp relating to health. I currently do iridology, reflexology, acupressure and massage therapy. My interest in medicine began when I nursed my younger sister till her death with colon cancer. Its a case of wish I knew then what I know now, but cant turn back the hands of time.

As promised in my blog, no fridge raiding at all!
Also managed not to punch a boxing bag and in fact patiently arranged a 3G modem for the Korean student &got him to understand how our systems work

I do hope your husband's travelling expenses etc are covered whether the courses go ahead or not!
