Interesting changes.

It is interesting what you notice yourself.

This time last year, my bride and I flew down to Sydney to visit a friend on her birthday. It was a good time, but the flight down was bloody uncomfortable. It is hard enough when you are 6'2"tall to get some leg room, but when you are a FAB (fat a$$ed B@stard) it is near impossible.

I also struggled with the climb up the driveway and the stairs and the shower opening was smaller than Bob sized. It was a real struggle.

Aint it amazing what a year does.... This year, it was a reasonably comfortable flight down, I COULD fit into the shower NO PROBS!!! The hill was not a bother, the walk to the shops was something I wanted to do, we went out and walked around without me experiencing any back pain, and the snoring was almost non existent.

I bloody well like this new stuff, and on the whole life is so much better when you do not have a lot of the underlying troubles.

And to top it off, I managed to snatch some geocaches while I was down there.

It can only get better as well!! I just do not really understand how things got so bad weight wise...or more to the point, why I did not register that it really was happening. It is the 64 Million dollar question. If I had the answer to that, I would be rich AND skinny!!

Onward...

Oh, and happy Birthday MJ!!!!

It's nice when people notice.

I have seen quite a few people in the l;ast week I have not seen for a while, and it is really nice when people notice that I have lost weight and make supportive comments.

It is not all in my imagination at all. Seems I have lost 10 inches of my hips, heaps off my face (now that I have the beard closer cropped it is more noticeable).

I am really itching to move forward onthe surgery as soon as I can.

Sorry for the short note, but time really is of the essence today.

Onward....
