11 and a half weeks since 2nd surgery

Well, its a little while down the road since my second surgery.
This morning I weigh 17 stone 4 pounds.
2 weeks ago I weighed 17 stone 4 pounds.

I am not happy, but neither am I upset.

I did think with all the exercise I have done over the last few days that I would have lost weight. But then again I did have wine every single day. I know its my secret weightloss killer.

So now I am back home and back to food that I know doesn't have secret hidden calories in (and no wine!) I should start to see some results.

Roll on next Monday.

Next fill is on 10th February with Hospital group. I am then going to see the other guy who bunk mate went to see. Hopefully we should start kicking some serious butt.

Back to the grind then. I am spring cleaning as I cant stand the mess in this house any more. We have gotten rid of over 4000 books, and that's made space for me to get rid of a load of junk from inside, into the garage. Next stop the dump! Hurrah! So I am doing a home cleanse and then going to work. Late night tonight, so must make sure I have a good lunch and a snack for later.

Will update this later

Return of wander woman

I am back! Hungary was brill as usual. Heres a pic of my baby and my freinds babies in the hot water of the lake on a freezing friday morning. Lovely it was!Not wanting to bore you (but going to anyway), the food for the holiday was strange.

When we got there on Thursday afternoon I had Hungarian goulash soup and a slice of bread.

That was it for the day. DS and I then went for a Thai Massage. I had a full body and DS had an oil massage. Lush.

Friday morning I had museli with chocolate bits in from the little shop and later a banana. Then DS and I had a Russian massage. Very invigorating and fresh. Then we went off to the lake and

we swam for 3 hours and then grabbed a salad.

Saturday I had a banana, and then we went for lunch at a really nice restaurant. I had a vegetable omelett.. and only ate half. Went swimming in the lake again fo 45 mins and then in the evening we went out again. I had a mouthful of liver, some lettuce and a small pancake with nuts.

Sunday I did hardly anything as we had the maseur come to the apartment, and I felt lazy all day after that. So we ate a packet of crisps and a couple of yoghurts. I went out in the late afternoon with DS and had a salad with chicken strips on top. Didn't manage all of this... probably ate abou 3/4. ----> Yummy!

Monday we got up early. I had a banana, then went to the manicurist and had my nails done and they look awesome. Then back home for an hour's Swedish massage and then off to the lake for a couple of hours swimming. I was starving after that so we went off to get some dinner. Found a lovely place that we thought was a restaurant, but was in fact a swish ice cream bar and had a couple of boules of ice cream. Then went to another restaurant with the others and I had 'Rooster stewed with its balls' Yes. That was the dish of the holiday! Last year it was "Prisoner in the Gaol Foxy Soup". This time it was Rooster balls!!! HA HA.

For any one wanting to know, they taste like strong Brussels pate... but warm! Rooster is very gamey and strong and has to be stewed for half a day to make it tender. I didn't eat very much. 1 ball, a chunk of rooster and one sheet of what looked like boiled lasagna.

All in all the meals were little. I left food on my plate each time. I was going to have what DS had and just eat what he ordered and left, but I didn't fancy what he had, and also he ordered things with potato and meat without a sauce... It would have been too dry. So apart from the wine I drank - 3 bottles - I did great.

I will weigh myself tomorrow and see how I did.

Treadmill Workouts for Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama looks really fit for her age. She just celebrated her 44th birthday last week. The highly publicized story is that she works out most weekday mornings on her treadmill, starting at 4:30am and is in bed by 9:30pm. She has two daughters aged 5 and 8. I'd be interested in getting more information about her actual workout routine, can anyone supply some good information?
