Slightly late weekly post.

So on Sunday (ignore that it's now Friday) I had my weight down to 86.4 kilos. Happy dance occured, though it was less than a kilo, so not quite as happy as previous weeks. Am considering with the weight loss buying some shorts or skirts. Yes, shock horror, I'm considering stuff that isn't ankle length and denim. Shoot me now. Summer is just around the corner and it's starting to get just a little bit warm.

Also dropped down to 1mg of Pred. 1mg!!! Just over a week and I'm off the stuff for good. *dances*

Have been boldly venturing out into the world of food again, with some successes and some failures (oh the pain!). Some foods (like onion) can be eaten in moderation, some foods (like bread) are more of an issue.

Mr Anonymous didn't work out. Sad at the time, not so sad now. *shrug* As they say, as one door closes, another one opens. Don't know who they are in this instance. Actually in any instance....

In news that is sad (at least to me), one of my catfish died yesterday. I got all three at the same time, they were the same size, and all equally cute, but I get the feeling this poor little one didn't get much food. The other two got a little bit territorial and unfortunately the only way to get any food to them without the garbage disposal units (aka goldfish) getting it was to dump it in the others' logs. Poor little thing.

Still hoping to get to Sydney for the Gluten Free Expo (http://www.glutenfreefoodshow.com.au/index.html - shameless advertising for something good), though I'll have to see how things are going closer to the date.

Hope eveyone is healthy and alive.

Not so alone

So I was just randomly scrolling through a news website I read regularly, and happened to stumble across the article I've linked to below.

It just feels really nice to know I'm not alone! :)

Still alive, I promise.

Skip an update, 'cause I forget my weight from the other week, and here's this one. 87.3 kilos, so yay!

Saw the dietician last Thursday, and all's going good. I'm allowed to start reintroducing foods as I see fit, I've just got to remember that fatty foods will make me fat again, etc, etc.

Went tenpin bowling on Friday arvo. Lost all three games, which was a little disappointing, though I think in the end I've still won. Lovely first date with a certain someone, so despite it taking a few days to get over the "Oh God there are muscles I haven't used in forever!" pain, I'm still grinning like a mad woman. Knowing that there's a second one lined up makes that grin even bigger.

Anyways. I'm off to brush the dust off the cross trainer and try to do something on that, I've not been able to make myself go near it the last few days so I've got some making up to do.

Updates and such

Oops, forgot my obligatory Sunday post. :D Made it back to the 80s! 89.9, so only just, but hey. It's getting somewhere. Happy dance happened.

Also forgot to make mention of when I dropped down to the 3mg of Pred. Drop down to 2mg this coming Sunday for a fortnight, then 1mg for another fortnight then I'm done! No Pred for Christmas!

My babies are sadly no longer babies. I believe the catfish are entering their teenage years- they're getting a little territorial over the logs in their tank. The logs however are serving their purpose in providing somewhere the catfish can eat without the goldfish getting to it. Fatty doesn't approve of this (only fish with a name, and it's by nature and name), and procedes to look like the fat kid chasing a hamburger through a one inch gap (only obviously the gap is smaller in comparison).

Still going well on the fructose free diet, but still disliking the dietician and what's coming across to me as either not paying attention to me or what she's been saying, or a lack of knowledge in general. *shrug*

Saw the GI yesterday, and he seems happy with how things are going, so I now don't have to see him until a few days before Christmas.
