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.

Sue Shepherd is a legend!!!
91 kilos! Yet another battle won, however minor it is. I don't enjoy the dizziness and the nausea from the lack of food, but it's worth it for this sort of weight loss. At this point I may still reach my goal by Christmas, which would just be amazing.
In other news, Dr Sue Shepherd is a legend. She's an Australian dietician who happens to have Coeliacs, and who happens to have written a few cook books as well as a guide to what to buy at the shops that's edible. Her books cater for Coeliacs, Fructose Malabsorption (smancy name for what I've supposedly got), IBS and various other bits and pieces. Seriously, books are fantastic, recipes great (see future posts for more! :D ) and just generally I feel so much better knowing that despite the two or three shelves of cookbooks I own now being practically useless for me, I have some now that I can use.
Anyone who is interested/can get there, there's a Gluten Free expo (also going over other things like the fructose stuff from what I can gather) on in Sydney in November on Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th, Sue Shepherd is also going to be there. I'm also under the impression that Tobie Puttock (chef who is awesome) will be there too, and both are giving presentations/demonstrations. Link for more info: http://www.glutenfreefoodshow.com.au/index.html
Crohn's wise, things have greatly improved since going on the low fructose diet. I hate not being able to have onion, and not being allowed to have fruit juice, but it is nice only having an episode or two every four or so days instead of many episodes every day. It might make things easier to work out when I'm flaring too, as opposed to pooping liquid all the time.
Thoroughly enjoying having time off from work. It's just nice waking up in the morning and knowing I don't have the stress of the daily drag in front of me, adding to my worries, and it really is nice to be able to go to sleep not worrying about what's left to do, and what needs doing when and blah blah blah..... *sigh* Just nice.
Anyway. I think I'm blogged out for now. More later though, with shiny pictures too!
