What Am I Eating? KANGAROO!

Once a week, we are having kangaroo sausages.  It is like eating regular sausage but it is really, really lean.  You get two for about 120 calories!  Throw them on the barbie and you have a low cal dinner.

Friday night is PIZZA NIGHT!  We find small pita breads for about 80 calories and then top with veggies and low fat mozzarella.  Each pizza is about 100 calories.

While I was in Chicago, Scab taught be this little trick of having cut up pineapple in the fridge.  When I get hungry, I can have a few squares of pineapple and it tastes like candy.  I love it.

CRA CRA SCALES!

Yes, it is weigh day and the scales went crazy today.  I am not sure what happened, but I weighed myself three times and I am down 11.2 pounds/ 5.1kg for the week!

Obviously, I don't believe I lost that much weight in one week.  It could be alot of things, but for now... I'll take it!

It might mean next week I bounce the other way but I will keep plugging along and keep the goal at 1lb/.5kg.

That gives me a current total of 41 pounds / 19 kilos!

It would be great if I could lose 50 pounds by xmas.

It's ok to have a half ass gym time

It has been three days in a row since I have been to the gym due to hipgate.  So, I decided to go tonight to break the streak.  But, I really, really, really wasn't in the mood.

But I went with the condition that I only had to stay for 10 minutes.

I stayed for 20.
I did elliptical.
My hip was sore but not excruciating.
I got my heart into the burn zone and that was good enough.

I dont need a hip replacement

says the doctor.
I kept telling him - I do!  I am in so much pain.
He laughed.

He says low impact for a bit.
I think I need a hip replacement.

My Hip Popped Again

Got up to do the C25K run this morning and after 3 minutes on the treadmill I felt/heard that awful pop/tear in my hip again.  Lots of pain.

I see the osteo on Wednesday.  I am hoping that it is nothing serious.

Measurements

I will be doing measurements next Sunday.

Slowly but surely

Lost another pound this week.

I am happy with this.  I have officially lost 30 pounds or 14kg.  Actually, 13.9kg but close enough.  I am going to try and hit 15 more pounds by 31/12.  Normally, I wouldn't think I could hit that, but I will have one more week at BL so I am assuming I will take 4 pounds off that week.  Which gives me 1 pound every week.
