Milestones

The milestones are coming thick and fast at the moment! I am very proud to now be under the 100kg mark, weighing in this morning at 97.9kg!

I'm feeling really good, but there are still things I need to work on. While I am getting my fluids in, I'm not great at the regular eating and I tend to eat my food too fast, and not have enough food to keep me full. I had a bad experience at Hans Cafe the other day which resulted in me vomiting for the first time since surgery (not just retching). I think it was the rice that was too dried out and the beef too spicy, but whatever it was, I definitely felt a lot better once it was out of my system!

I have been going to the gym for the last couple of weeks more frequently, and have started a weights routine to try and get my stomach and arms into better condition, as I am definitely starting to notice the excess skin, and am becoming a little self-conscious of it all.

I've sent my polar heart rate monitor and watch off to be serviced as they stopped working a little while ago. While my fitbit is great for everyday walking and activity, I love my heart rate monitor for when Im at the gym and doing cross-training. I'm also thinking of doing some Personal Training at my gym, just to mix things up a bit with my weights.

I went back to work on Thursday after two weeks holidays, and I had so many lovely compliments, especially from guys who aren't usually the type of people to comment on appearance, which made it even more unexpected and pleasant.

So what's next - well I am loaded down with uni summer school (In fact I should be doing my assignment right now!), but I need to keep getting into the gym, and hopefully the weight will keep dropping off me. My goal weight is 85kg, but I really feel that I could get to 75kg if I keep this up, so I want to give it my all.
