6 Weeks Of Chocolate

May 1, 2013 by Shellie Wilson

cocoa-powder

So it has been six weeks since I started the Chocolate Diet Challenge.   You can follow my weight-loss journey in my earlier posts here.   So how am I going?  Well it’s been a little difficult actually.  Last week was a “Wedding weekend” . There was just too many restaurant outings and not enough Diet shake.  I have to admit though, even though I was eating for that weekend I was STILL Hungry. This proves that the shakes are perfect at suppressing hunger. I am NEVER hungry on these shakes. In fact the only time I find myself snacking, picking or cheating is when I am pinching scraps off my kids half empty plates. (Horrible Mum Habit)

So how much have I lost? Well not nearly as much as I had hoped 🙁   but I have lost 3 kg’s and at least 1 inch off from just about everywhere.

This week I have stepped up the exercise, literally! I climbed up 200 steps yesterday whilst I waited for my son’s sports activity to start. The problem is not exercising the problem is finding time to exercise when you’re a Mum. Finding 30 mins a day doesn’t sound hard. Finding 30 mins a day where I feel like exercising and not taking that moment to BREATH is.

If your weight gain issue is FOOD then this is the diet for you! The meal replacements are yummy and satisfying.  I do NOT crave Chocolate at night like I used to and very rarely have the small chocolate bar that comes in the Weekly box.

The Chocolate weight loss Sachets are available exclusively to Price line and come in individual sachets or in a weekly box for $58.99

Stay tuned only a few weeks to go and all shall be revealed, literally as I will post a before and after shot. I will also be giving one lucky reader the chance to win a trial pack.

I  chatted to the Creator  Dr Lily on facebook about my slow weight loss and she suggested, Green Tea, Chilli and 25% more exercise So that is my next goal.

Hubcap Creatures: Transforming Roadside Finds into Sculptural Wildlife

Hubcap Creatures is the creative project of British sculptor Ptolemy Elrington, who has transformed discarded hubcaps into captivating sculptures of wildlife. Operating from Brighton, Elrington has been crafting these unique pieces since the late 1990s, turning everyday automotive debris into stunning representations of animals from the natural world.

The artistic process behind Elrington’s sculptures is centered around recycling and upcycling. The hubcaps he uses are typically found on the side of the road and often show signs of wear, including scratches and dents. Elrington believes that these imperfections add character and depth to his creatures, making each piece truly one of a kind.

His work spans a wide range of animals, including foxes, fish, and birds, with each sculpture thoughtfully crafted to showcase the unique features of the materials. The brand logos, grooves, and markings found on the hubcaps often contribute to the creature’s expression and structure, giving them a distinct, textured look.

Elrington’s Hubcap Creatures have been showcased in various exhibitions, both in the UK and internationally. His innovative approach has gained recognition for its creativity and environmental awareness, demonstrating how discarded materials can be transformed into meaningful art.

For art enthusiasts or collectors, Elrington offers a mix of available sculptures and custom commissions, allowing individuals to bring home a piece of this upcycled art. Hubcap Creatures stands as a brilliant example of how creativity can breathe new life into the most unlikely of materials, all while promoting sustainability.
