It worked!! Thank you pyxis x

Yey! :T lovely avatar, Tea! Well done!


Me want go Edinburgh Zoo! :j

Have a good bodywork session, LIR! Must admit, I could so do with a good remedial massage, but the lovely lady I used to have, she emigrated, and trying to find someone else as good is dire.

Had a fast day yesterday, my first since before Xmas due to illness. It wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be. I have just had a meal! Yum!
Honestly, due to illnesses, (lying in bed for 3 weeks and no Zumba), Christmas, stuffing my face with treats while ill and no fast days, I have ballooned! Really shocked! It has just proved to me the difference the Fast Diet makes. Before, when I had piggy days but was having fast days, I didn't put anything on! Have had to return to a size larger jeans temporarily! :eek: I can get into the smaller ones but they're incredibly tight. Am really shocked!

I haven't restarted Zumba yet due to the wheezing, but will tentatively try some tomorrow and see how I get on.


Tea, this is a real Little Blue! They're only about 13" high! Sweeeee!



At AmDram we've all got to audition for a two-tier system, where the top tier will do the bigger, more important stuff, and the lower tier won't perform. Am really nervous that I'll forget my lines! Don't really want to not perform, as that's where the fun is!


Still on the penguin theme, (blame WaS! ), I'd really like one of these!..........

Oooooooooooo me too!

Welcome back into the 5:2 fold, Pyxis! Yes, I really like being able to eat what I want to on the 'other' days as well, and one of the things I really like about the diet is appreciating food so much more

I must admit there's a bit of me that's scared, though. I haven't ever missed a day, and am scared that if I did it would get harder to do, again. It's nice and easy now I'm used to it!

If I don't get a pocket penguin tomorrow I'm going to be so disappointed!

I need to get back onto some sort of sensible eating/exercise. It was all going so well.... it is not anymore.... eek!

When I've gone on holiday, I haven't had a Fast Day, but that was only for a week, and the week before the holiday I did 4:3. It was a bit harder getting back to it after the holiday. This was the worst, because of Christmas and illness it went on for a long time. I probably could have restarted last week if I'm honest, but had got into such a pig mode and was in denial! It was only when I started to go out and about and put my jeans on that I really realised what had happened, and that scared me back into restarting.

Still, I've managed the first Fast Day, and it wasn't too bad! Another one tomorrow! I might even do 4:3 this week if I feel strong! Putting the tight jeans on will help!

Pig mode and denial is the problem here! :o

I am officially on strike today but as I am feeling crap I am protesting John Lennon style - from my bed. I have only got up to make toast. Every time I stand up, I feel dizzy.

Does anyone else ever feel like their meds actually make them feel worse than their actual condition?

Also, still in diet rehab and eating loads. I am a fat pie.

I did powerplate last night but it just served to reinforce how broken I am after the long weekend of cheerleading and gig...

Oooooh yes!

Oh, yes indeed.

Sometimes side effects make a drug just unsuitable and its worth chatting to consultant about it. I get on better than most with one of my drugs. For a long time it made all food taste like tobasco or West Indian hot sauce. All spicey food went right off the menu, it was unbearable, And its hard to get a taste for tobasco and toast and marmalade, or tobaso and porridge or tobasco and tea. .

It passed, which is good. Water tastes just of water now, tea, of tea...and so on. Spicey food intolerance has weirdly, totally diminished, I used to quite like quite spicey food.

An other side common effect I get is that I feel all the time like I'm wading through nettles, and running my hands through them, so as if the nettles are really long. Its worse on my lower legs /feet and hands. Almost but not quite, pins and needles. I've learned to enjoy this experience. Its just been a matter of minds pace. I imagine various things that make it more pleasurable than burdensome. However, I get very, very minor repetitive strain type pain in a couple of fingers /back of hand and some times this kind of annoys that.

Those are the two most common side effects of one of my meds I think, and I'm pleased I've been able to get passed both.


Oh...the other is fatigue. But as I have fatigue anyway, its hard to measure......how can in attribute what is pill and what is illness? Its impossible for me to tell the difference.
