5 months on - to the day

and i am over 5 stone lighter!

also, just had a meal that was actually more calories than i was used to consuming in a whole day when i was on the lighter life total programme.

i feel full, but not that full...wow.

5 is my lucky number...

...but it doesn't feel like it today!

it is the fifth day and this diet is really kicking my butt.
i have been light-headed and hicupping for hours.
had to miss my bellydance conditioning class with darkstar tonight as i was feeling so woozy.
strange, when i was on tx i would have pushed through - but then that was only getting my ass on the power plate...passing out in bellydance class coulda been embarrassing - especially when first aid is not kerry's strong point, lol.

it is all my own fault though.
i think i got a bit dehydrated today.
had to change my shaker/container from the horrid big plastic embarrassing lighter life one given free with the diet, to a nice brushed steel thermos. chic, but doesn't hold enough - so i probably didn't drink enough water.

the other reason it is my own fault is we are told not to exercise for the first week and until our body has got used to the diet and in ketosis...but i still went to the gym on saturday for a lighter session then usual but sunday was a new tribal bellydance class with arina of fleur estelle - it was the hardest class i have done since moria's at raqs britannia last year.

it is all worth it though.
the girls at work can see a bit of difference and my blondeboy says i look alot less bloated than before. of course some of this is due to my doctor changing my meds, but mostly due to the new diet!

tang redux

well i got better and i got fatter.
it seems to be a curse of the middle aged lady that goes through tx...

i have got to the point that nothing fits, and my bursitis has flared up - so what am i doing about it?

going on a space food diet!

and today is day one.
i've tried vanilla shake that i blended with ice ice and more ice and it took me about 45 mins to drink, the orange powder for water which really makes me feel like an astronaut, and now the mushroom cuppa soup that is yummier than any other mushroomy soup that i have ever had - although it could do with some garlic, but then i'd be stuck with garlic breath and that would suck because for some reason i'm not allowed gum.

probably because of all the shit in it and that whole chewing creating tummy juices thing...
so have a bottle of listerine in my desk to rinse rinse rinse away as much as possibl3.

my goal is to look good by ibiza-time which should be no problem.
i'm sooo loooking forward to dancing on the tables at bora-bora with the russian prostitutes!
