Non-PKU sibling Joe O’Malley
Introduction • How has PKU affected me… • 7 year age gap • Random “Here Taste this…”
Tipping Point • Autumn 2005 • Returned from University • What’s wrong with Fiona?
Tipping Point • Autumn 2005 • Lethargic • Irritable • Lack of concentration • Off diet
Turning Point • Adult PKU study day November 2005 • “It doesn't have to be like this”
Winter 2005 • Taking Stock • One year to the next PKU study day • Who do we want to be? • What can be done in a year?
Spring 2006 • Researched • Gained Knowledge • Tailored a plan
Buy 1 get 1 free… Wedding in Ireland… Weekend in Paris… Evaluating our progress
Spring 2007 • Goals Achieved • Phe Levels below UK recommended adult range • Lost almost 3 stone (19 Kg) • Brighter, Confident & Happy
Side Effects • Got to know who Fiona is… • Better understanding of PKU • Lost 6 stone (38 Kg) • Personal Total Weight loss 10 stone (63 Kg)
So what now? • Lift 18 metric tonnes per week (average)… • Run Hill sprints 3 mornings per week • Pyramid Sprint Row 15 miles per week • Krav Maga – Israeli Commando Fighting System • “No overhangs except what nature intended…”
60 Seconds… • Fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run
