Height: 170cm
Just back from my 10.5km ride on Dixie. I decided today I would 'try'. And today I averaged 17.9 kph!! I think it'll be a while before I beat that!
It's back to my regular routine tomorrow - cycle, walk, cycle. I've been kinda slack since my off days last week and have opted to cycle because it is quicker. Tomorrow I start the week with a cycle.
I have also planned my meals for the week, and at this point I anticipate no disruptions to my plans.
So goals for next week are the same as usual:
Exercise every day - alternating cycle (10.5km)/walk (6km)
Eat carefully, watching cholesterol and saturated fat. And this week observe calories.
Lindor, you're doing so great. 5kg in a few weeks is amazing! And you can just tell you're in the right headspace.. and doesn't it feel easy once you're on a roll.. if only we could bottle that feeling!!
We'll both be under 100 before we know it!
I hope Ani has a fab time and comes back soooooon... I miss her!

Just back from my 10.5km ride. Was a tad slower today 17.0 kph. More traffic on the road today so had to stop more, and Mother Nature gave me a strong head wind to compete with too!
I did a little shopping this afternoon too...and only bought what was on my list and a bottle of water!
I'm cooking up a vegetable biryani tonight, and that should also fix me for the next few nights too. The recipe looks yummy!
Hi everyone, just dropping in quickly to say I am back from Bali and, having overindulged, am ready to join in. I weighed myself on Saturday when I got back - 90.7kg - and have been eating really well ever since.
I have to get ready for work, but when I get home I will read through the last month's worth of posts and catch up.
I had so much to do today, got just about all of it done. Still have to head into the city shortly for my last checkup with surgeon before I head off Thursday. Packed my big suitcase up and shipped it off today - lazy and expensive I know but just couldn't face dragging it around all my plane changes.
100.8kg today with official 3-week checkin tomorrow morning! Hoping to definitely get under the ton by next week, that'll mean I'd lost >7.4kg in 4 weeks since surgery.

Ani! So good to see you back here! You have been missed!
Did you manage to relax a little in Bali? And, more importantly, did you and your friend have a good time?
I can't believe it's almost been four weeks since your operation Gen?
I'm just back from my 6km walk! It was a bit of a sad affair today. I passed the police who had just pulled up on the side of the road. They had stopped to pick up a small dog that had obviously been hit by a car, or fallen off the back of a ute - it was dead. What made it even sadder, was the fact that the police officer who was picking it up was actually doing it with a little compassion, rather than grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and throwing it onto the roadside. It was almost as if he was treating like any other traffic accident that involved humans.
Last nights vegetable biryani was very nice! And sure enough, I have enough to feed me for the next three nights.
YAY welcome back Ani!! You have been missed and it's great to see you back
Lindor and Gen you ladies are both doing so well I'm so proud of you both!
I'm off to Las Vegas tomorrow - holiday time! I have family and a friend there so am going to 10 days and then 4 days in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico before coming home. It's a well deserved holiday and I'm really looking forward to it.
Have a safe journey back to the US Gen, I'll talk to you all in a few weeks when I'm back!

I swapped todays bike ride with tomorrows walk. I'm going to be home late tomorrow so I prefer to ride the bike.
A pretty plain 6km walk today, nothing exciting to report.
Julia, you've probably gone now so it's unlikely you'll see this before you get home again, but I hope you have a great holiday!
And Gen! You fly out tomorrow? Hope you have a safe and comfortable trip, and we look forward to seeing you here from the other side of the globe again
Hey Gen I felt really sad when I read about your mum. How are you travelling? I'm thinking of you, especially knowing you're headed back to the US tomorrow - that will be wrenching in some ways .
But it's great that you had the surgery and things seem to be going in the right way. At least you've had a win there!
Lindor I've caught up on all your news. It's great to see you being motivated and working hard. Hope I can catch the bug . I've been good this week, eating really healthy food, and being conscious of everything I do.
I had two bad falls in the last week. One was in Bali where I missed a step and bellyflopped onto the cobblestones. Battered and bruised! Then yesterday I did it again, and re-injured my injuries - and gave myself a couple of new ones. I really, really REALLY need to get new glasses!
Lindor I have high cholesterol (apparently hereditary in my case) and I lowered it a bit with proper food, but I ended up having to go on medication. I don't like taking pills but it has got my cholesterol to a healthy place. But reducing red meat will help a lot.
Anyway, I am off to play Tiger Woods Golf on my Wii - even though I feel battered and bruised, it will distract me from feeling sorry for myself.
Thanks Ani Yes, it feels weird and it's going to be hard in some ways to leave Mum here.. but she's coming with me too. Just hard to realize there won't be any more phone calls from mum once I get home.
Wait til next week when I'm complaining about work and being busy, but right now I can't wait to get back to my boys at work. Brain has been stagnating for months... getting dumber.
Almost completely packed... just have to jam a few more things in tomorrow morning! Smooches ladies, will talk to you from the other side.
Made it Slept almost all the way, trip was great. Felt bad, my friend that picked me up brought bags of groceries for me.. none of which I can eat!! Haha.
