Cold Laser Lipo

So far I've had two sessions. It's 4 paddles with 4 Laser Diodes plus 2 small Lymph paddles placed on your problem areas (in my case: hips and abdomen) it's warming and non-invasive and no suction involved. The
juries still out on whether it is working at contouring my body. I'm willing to give it a shot as it was a discounted purchase online. It is very relaxing and I got a bonus treatment today: semi-permanent mascara. Louisa is fun and very chatty. I've enjoyed my treatments so far and afterwards 10 minutes on the old power plates to shake it all up a bit.

I've missed my Zumba this week, but hopefully I should go tomorrow.

PS did I mention I've lost another pound?

Intermittent Fasting

I've read a lot about this on my travels. Intermittent fasting is where you just don't eat for 16 or 24 hours and then follow your usual eating habits. Allegedly, this puts your body into a state of ketosis - where you use your body fat for energy. I find myself inadvertently doing this after bad days. Today I didn't eat until 3pm from 9pm the previous day. I'm not hungry, so I don't eat. I do occasionally listen to my body. Yesterday, however, it wanted me to eat doughnuts... I ignored it.

Bad Day #1

I'm posting from my phone, so I'll have to sort out the font later... [fixed]

I've not updated for a while but I thought I would go through a bad day. We will all have bad days on this journey. We're only human. Today is my day.

I'm fed up. I've eaten two chocolate bars, bread, butter, salted peanuts, cake, and got through nearly double my recommended daily calories. I'm looking for comfort in food, but obviously, I just feel worse.

As long as I accept it for what it is: a one-off, it'll be fine. On the positive I've had plenty of vegetables, oily fish and protein. Tomorrow I will jump back on the wagon and also zumba it all off!

Progress Update 1

I've lost 5lbs and an inch from my hips and from my waist.

I feel refreshed and happier.
