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.

Pocket Emotional Support Chickens

There is something wonderfully sweet about these little Pocket Emotional Support Chickens. They are tiny, soft, slightly silly in the best possible way, and exactly the sort of handmade project that makes people smile before they have even finished reading the pattern.

This free knitting pattern is perfect for anyone who loves small comfort makes, quick gift projects, or quirky little knits with personality. Each chicken is small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, making them ideal as pocket companions, desk buddies, care-package gifts, or thoughtful little “thinking of you” presents for friends and family.

I especially love the idea behind this project. Not every handmade gift needs to be large or complicated to feel meaningful. Sometimes a tiny knitted chicken, made with love and tucked into someone’s bag, coat pocket, or bedside table, can be just the thing to brighten a difficult day. These little comfort chicks have that lovely handmade charm that feels personal without being overly sentimental.

The finished chickens have a simple rounded shape, cute beaks, tiny combs, and bead-like eyes, giving them just enough detail to feel full of character. They would be adorable knitted in natural chicken colours like cream, brown, grey, and speckled yarns, but you could also have fun with bright scraps, variegated yarn, or leftover wool from other projects. This is a great stash-busting project, especially if you have small amounts of yarn you do not want to waste.

Because they are small, they would also make a lovely charity knitting idea, a craft market item, a classroom reward, or a sweet addition to handmade gift baskets. You could knit a whole flock and package them with a little note that says “Pocket Emotional Support Chicken” for extra charm.

Overall, this is a delightful free knitting pattern for anyone who enjoys quick, comforting, personality-filled projects. It is cute, giftable, inexpensive to make, and full of handmade heart. Whether you knit one chicken or an entire flock, these adorable little comfort chicks are sure to bring a smile.
