My Chocolate Addiction – Before and After

Well the time has come to give up my new Chocolate addiction the Chocolate MealReplacement Shake as I reach the end of my 8 week challenge. I have got so used to the shakes that I am dreading returning to finding my own lunches and returning to that late afternoon hunger crash which I have NOT been experiencing at all.

So the results? well you get to see for yourself as I had to take before and after shots and agree to post them to be part of the challenge.

You CAN see a difference in my two shots can’t you??

So I lost around 3.5 kgs but more important I lost around 1 1/2 inches almost everywhere, well where it counts I guess, waist, hips, bust etc.

Now comes the confession bit – I really could have exercised more. The last few weeks I tried to pick up my legs (pardon the pun) but I just found it hard to be motivated at a convenient time. When I did exercise it was only 1 or 2 times a week and was running up the steps at the park whilst my 3-year-old son sat and counted how long it took me each time. As a result he has learnt to count up to 40 un-aided. 🙂 I more than happy with the results especially since I know I didn’t go in as hard as I could have. I would recommend this product 100% especially if Hunger and over eating is your downfall.

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.
