FotoHijinx's Refeed Antics/Lusty's Bar

[FotoHijinx]

DAY 3
Start Weight: 54.8kgs
Today's Weight: 55.4 kgs
Total: +.6kgs

Gawd, total blow out this morning on the scales - put on 800gms overnight!! I think its due to TOM - he didn't actually appear like I thought he was going to yesterday so perhaps today he might appear - anyway, I have all the signs he's coming - pimples, grumpiness last week, blah blah blah.

Anyway, I was due to have 1 slice of bread today but I think I might wait until tomorrow and see if my weight drops. Surely I can't be putting on 800 gms overnight just because I had 70gms more protein & vegs (altogether)! So I think its the pre-bloating before TOM - well thats my excuse anyway.

I'm going to see my consultant today so I'll chat with them about it - don't really want to have to go back to the start if I can help it.

A bit of a quiet night around Lusty's Bar last night - just the usual suspects.

Shell - Thanks - yep damn shame about all that shopping!

Pen - Aww thanks hon - big kiss!

Faithy Girl - Yayayayayaya me heehee....thanks, big hug back

Lucylou - Gawd, I need a serious tan!!! Are you acusing me of playing with the hired help?? Thats not like me!!

Well, I didn't get as much work done yesterday as I had hoped - my own fault though - it all kinda went out the window after I got down to the shopping centre. Window shopping ... pffft!! Came home with 4 tops heehee.

I was in SportsGirl and took a medium size top to try on in the change room - well it was bit too roomy for my liking so I called out for the sales assistant and asked if they had this in small, so off she went. She comes back and says I only have this in a extra small and I'm thinking to myself - yeah right, like thats gonna fit. anyway, I take it off her and bloody hell, it did fit - extra small. I had the strangest reaction to that all at the same time - was overjoyed that I could fit into a extra small top, then I was crushed at the same time because it meant that I had really lost my girls! Then I was thinking - I really don't want to be an extra small on top...gawd, talk about weird. So I put the top back and walked out.

Who would have thought all that could have happened - it was very strange - still not sure how I feel about it - I'm not stressed over it as there isn't too much I can do about it right now - I guess we can't control where the weight comes from. It kinda bought me back to reality to where my size really is right now - its like it was an optical illusion up until then - now I guess I really am tiny!!!!

Anyway, stacks of work to do - catch you all later!

Cheers
Irene

Hi Irene,
I would say the extra weight is fluid from TOM, you usually go up a bit from reading your diary-go back and check how much & work it out from there.
You might need a padded bra Better to have lost the girls than carrying the extra weigh around!
You look in proportion in you photo's.
Have agreat day

Hi Irene,
I just wanted to pop in and say congratulations for making it to Refeed ! I have been reading your diary and checked out the photos - you must be so so happy. Your diary always has me laughing you are one funny woman ! Keep up the good work and good luck

[sundaymorningstaple]

Irene,

You might have been stunning in the red dress, but now you look better out of it! *insert drool smilie*

Got me prancing around the paddock now. MM is one lucky feller! The amount of change between the last two pics are nothing short of phenomenal. And everybody says how can only a couple of kg make that kind of a different. It sure does.

Oh, where I come from, we figger more'n a mouthful goes to waste anyway so don't worry yerself too much about yer girls! Long as dem puppies got warm noses you'll be right!

Hi Irene,

Well, a common comment on these forums is "losers are winners". Sounds a bit like a conundrum - and maybe that's what you are too...

now I guess I really am tiny!!!!

From where I sit, you are a big success for Cohens !!!

In real life, I guess you are "tall enough" (about level with MM's heart..... close enough?)

Your photos really do tell the story, Irene - and you are looking SO good, girl. So don't go getting too stressed over this "Sportsgirl super-small size" or whatever. Your photos tell me you are a well-proportioned wee girl !! Can't be bad, can it???

Hugs,

Koh

DAY 4
Start Weight: 54.8kgs
Today's Weight: 54.8 kgs
Total: +.0kgs

Morning guys - well weight as dropped 600gms from yesterday (thank god) and now I'm back at my starting weight! Yay.

Okay, now where to start...yesterday I drank stacks of water and had only 2 cb instead of having the one piece of bread I was allowed. I didn't want to add bread when my weight went up 800gms overnight for no apparent reason. So all is right with the world today.

I went and saw my consultant yesterday - emailed her my photos earlier in the day and even she said I was now tiny, but proportionate which is nice. She was impressed that I was wearing size 6 work pants. (got my 8's on today and they feel quite baggy - looks like more shopping on the way..damn shame ). Anyway, I go back to see her in two weeks time to get my maintenance guidelines which is exciting.

Got home around 5.00 pm and MM was home so I suggested we have a spa to relax after a hard days work, so thats what we did - very nice indeed - love my spa and my boy. Well one thing lead to another (as it does) and after the spa we snuck off for "quality time" - again, very nice indeed . Then we cooked dinner together which I just love as my ex never got anywhere near the kitchen. Sat down and had a very nice meal - would have been perfect with a glass of red - oh well, only 13 more days, but who's counting!!!! After dinner I went off to the office to work my butt off on a client's website.

Then TOM arrived just before bedtime - which I actually think was great timing all things considered. Had a pretty good nights sleep cuddled up in MM's arms with him teasing me about grabbing my hip bones - he cracks me up.

Then this morning I had my yoghurt with blueberries and raspberries, very nice and one piece of toast - oh yay, it was heaven. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a big bread eater but I have missed having toast (even if it was dry) - it was devine - who would have thought I would think that of bread heehee.

So the sun is shining in lovely Adelaide today and all is right with the world (well cept for the sore back from TOM - minor inconvenience).

Now, whats been happening in Lusty's bar - *surveys the room* - hmm, not too much damage, tomorrow night could be the test as its it Karaoke night!

Shell - quite right - TOM is a devil! Gotta love those padded bras - I am lucky that I am proportional so I shall stop my whinging right now.

Lindy - Hi and welcome to "Lusty's Bar" - thanks for your kind works, I am pretty damn happy right now. How good is this program - this is what we all can achieve!!! Hmm, think the happy hormones have kicked in again - yayay!!

S&M - *wipes drool from chin* come on ya frisky stallion, you'll do yourself an injury with all that fancy prancing!! You sound just like MM and between you and me - he's keeping them puppies pretty warm!!

Koh - aww my little puppy - I have missed you so much - would have thought you would have been the first one in the corner of Lusty's Bar! I am exactly level with MM's heart which is just perfect, I reckon!! I guess I am now a "pocket rocket" heehee - big hugs and floppy ears my little puppy

Well best go row with the other slaves.....*grumble grumble grumble*

Cheers
Irene

Hey Irene,
I think I'll sit quietly at the back corner of your bar and write ‘notes to self.’
When I visit for a quick mineral water or sprite zero I look around at all you fabulously slim gorgeous people and it reminds me why I’m on this programme. Lustys bar is full of Cohen graduates and its a good place to see how we can all end up if we stop stuffing around!!

Thanks for the inspiration.
Kate

Oh and nice that your back to start weight, that must be a relief!

[ropemaha]

DAY 5
Start Weight: 54.8kgs
Today's Weight: 55.1 kgs
Total: +.3kgs

Afternoon everyone.

Been to my photographic course this morning - always good fun.

Gawd I felt full and bloated last night after dinner - not surprised I'm up by 300 gms this morning - TOM is in full flight so hopefully that might care of some of that bloating.

I continued with my 1 dry piece of toast this morning with my yoghurt and berries - very yummy. Tomorrow I get to have 2 new fruits, might go with pineapple - I believe that is a good choice.

Feeling a bit down at the minute, I'm having a meeting on Friday with one of the bosses and I'm not looking forward to it...anyway, enough of that. Whats been going on around here???

Kate - sure is great to lose that 800gms that was a bit scarey! You'll be one of the "beautiful" cohen bar flys soon - hang in there hon.

Pen - yep thats me, drama drama drama and look at me, look at me!! heehee

BFG - Can't wait to see what you've bought to wear to Karaoke night tonight! I'm sure you'll look gorgeous!

Hexi - Thanks hon - took me forever to get here but I'm here now and thats the main thing! Hmmm technically there is only one lusty wench - me!! But I guess you can be an honorary lusty wench since you look so gorgeous!

Shell - yeah I did get a bit carried away with the "sharing" heehee oh well, what can I say!! I'll be keeping an eye on you Shell - no passing out in my bar!! The cabana boys are hot!!! You never know, Koh, S&M and Littlefulla will probably be lurking.

Hey Faithy girl - thanks hon - I was pretty damn happy yesterday - not so much today, but hey, you get that. All that food is a bit overwhelming and there is only more to come!!!

Jeannie77 - Thanks - how could you miss the cabana boys in their gold spandex g-strings???? You'll be in refeed before you know it.

Lucylou - No hogging the mike cause I'm sure Connie will want to hog it too!!!

Littlefulla - We've got the best water going around here! Just stay away from Shell - she might lead you astray

Alrighty, well I better prepare the bar for Karaoke night tonight!

I'll catch you later.

Cheers
Irene

[Cheral]

with all the unseemly activities going on here, I reckon the maintenance police will close this bar down in a couple of weeks.

So enjoy yourself whilst you can, because the end is nigh..........

[Faithy]

I hope you feel better soon.. dont worry bout your boss.. fingers crossed all goes well for you.
