Weigh in - Day 54

I had my Alizonne session this evening and the great news is I've lost 1.9kg (4.2lbs) this week, putting me at 15st 2lbs! Really really pleased given all the IBS pain I've had - it seems upping the exercise helped at least.

I also spoke to the therapist about making sure I phase off in time for my May trip, which she's noted in my file for my doctor's appointment next week so we can discuss options then. At the current rate I reckon I'll need an extra 3 weeks to hit the Phase 1 target they set for me, which still leaves 1 week spare between my original end date and the May trip to hit the final target - fingers crossed and all that .....

Woohoo - measurement after Day 52

SO, SO happy!!! For whatever reason my body has decided to co-operate again so measurements for this week are:

Bust - 98cm (2cm loss this week - 10cm lost in total - 9cm to go) - super chuffed, only 9cm to go!
Waist - 96cm (2cm loss this week - 8cm loss in total - 24cm to go)
Hips - 118cm (2cm loss this week - 13cm loss in total - 23cm to go)

And I even managed to lose another 1cm from my arms as well, which are now 39cm

So grateful I can't even begin to describe it, especially given the IBS; but I did increase my exercise this week to try to compensate, which seems to have helped.

Alizonne appointment is tomorrow night so I will post weight then

Yay!

Awful pain - Day 49/50

Last night for unknown reasons my IBS flaired up, and I was in absolute agony - I even had to sit out of some of the exercises in my powerplate class. My stomach completely bloated and I felt sick. I don't know whether it's because I had one of the juices and possibly didn't mix it very well, it tasted really grainy when I had it; but as that's the only different thing I had that I don't usually have that's the only thing I can assume.

In desperation I took a Colofac - no idea whether it's allowed or not but with the pain I was in I frankly didn't care at that moment.

I called the Alizonne clinic today and managed to speak to the doctor, who said that Colofac does have some fibre and sugars in, and will slow down weight loss on the day/s I take it - but if it makes me feel better I should go ahead and take it, especially as I generally only need 1 or 2 to make me feel better.

Luckily I didn't take any this morning, just a Panadol to relieve the pain, so hopefully the one I took last night hasn't done too much damage.

Getting closer

It's my last day at work today for the year, and we had almighty snow last night - it all feels a bit prophetic really and I hope spells good omens.

10 days and counting - now I just need to get rid of this horrible IBS that has flared up again and then I'm all set.....
