Well…it’s a loss I guess.  I can lose that much by emptying my bladder, but at least it means my body is responding in the right direction.  I’ll take a 200g loss over a weight gain any day!

It’s still really tough for me.  My hyper mobility issues are still pretty chaotic and I have not been able to exercise at all…or walk…or stand for more than a few minutes.  In fact I have to spend most of my time lying down on the sofa.  I had a very intense physiotherapy session on Friday and left feeling like I had been beaten up   Good thing is, I think my pelvis is still in place.  I have probably just jinxed myself though.  The muscles in my buttocks (primarily the piriformis) is hard like a rock and seeing as I have unusual physiology (where the sciatic nerve passes through the piriformis instead of next to it) my nerve is feeling very squished and I still have intense pain.

Acupuncture again on Friday.  Just over two weeks until I leave for Australia for 8 weeks…so I am getting nervous about being able to cope on the flight and actually enjoy myself while I am there.

I still live in hope that things will calm down and I can get back to exercise and jump start my weight loss again.  Until then I just keep eating sensibly.  I admit I do not always make the best food choices, but I eat a LOT less than I used to and have kept my water intake high.

Hope everyone else is doing better with their weight loss than me.  I promise I’ll be back in the game as soon as I am able!
