I weighed myself today, 2.5kgs lost. That’s a realy good start. This time next week I will be getting ready for the trip to Sydney for the surgery. I am a little nervous, a little anxious, even a little scared but I guess most importantly I am excited. Watching the video(s) I posted last night realy helped answer a few questions that may have come up.

My Mum-in-Law came home this morning & she is in good spirits with hardly any pain & discomfort. We are all very proud of her & will help her through the next part of her journey.

I got an early mark from work today & enjoyed getting home a little earlier. ShadowKnight had to go & pre-bowl for his league, so I tagged along. I bowled 3 games to help pace him & it’s the first time I’ve bowled in perhaps almost a year! I bowled fairly well, getting a strike or 2 & a few spares. 130-132-114. When I last bowled in a league I had a 125 average. So yeah, I was pretty chuffed with todays efforts.

Breakfast: Vanilla shake, Berrocca.

Lunch: Optifast Chocolate Bar, Benefibre.

Dinner: 2 cups of classic salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot, capsicum) with a little salt reduced soy sauce & 1 Optifast Berry Crunch Bar.
