Yes, it is true I have survived the Aussie Day Holiday intact and successfully avoided the thousand beers and thousand sausages that I have traditionally consumed on this most holy day. It sort of helped not having committed to a set program of events therefore I was a little more in control of the ultimate outcome.
I'm starting to get a little edgy about Saturdays weigh in. I've been really good this week and I'm hoping that's reflected on the scales.
The last couple of days I've had to forgo an exercise session (unless you count WII tennis) as my body is reminding me it's 39 & 11 months (not 40 yet!!). After two fairly intense exercise days Monday and Tuesday I've been limping around a bit today thanks to a few sore spots. I'm beginning to realise my knee problem has more of a grip on me than just the pain in the joint. Because its been stuffed for so long I have no muscle mass in my right leg at all, so when walking or cycling my right leg seems to pull up sore much faster. I had a calf cramp halfway through my walk Tuesday arvo which came on the back of a ride earlier in the day. The cramp has turned into a bit of a corky and is very tight. I'm hoping to be back moving again tomorrow.
On the positive side, this lifestyle change has dragged me kicking and screaming into the kitchen more regularly. As much as hate cooking, I have to prepare more meals at home to better control what goes in my gob. I managed a half decent Fillet Mignon with vegies tonight and got thumbs up from the kid, so that's a win.
If you own any shares in Coca Cola Amatil, then you may have to prepare yourself for a profit downgrade in the near future. With my dramatic drop in consumption this month I can't see how they can avoid it, so don't say I didn't warn you. If you get questioned for insider trading though, you didn't hear it from me!
With less than a month to go until my birthday I've penciled in a short term goal weight of 119kg or less. I'm sure if I stick to my guns this will be achieved. If I can get there I'll be 18kg under my heaviest day and well on the way to happy-time.
So considering I opened with the Survivor theme I guess I should close with it as well.
The tribe has voted and I'm still in the game. So I'll grab my torch and return to camp.
Next time on Survivor: The Saturday weigh in!
