Fat Man on a Diet

I think I can honestly say that I’m finally settling into the band properly. I saw the physiotherapist yesterday and she told me pretty much that I should go back to walking gently… for 30 mins a day or so to begin… and then increase both the time I take *and* the pace, also gently! Additionally I was told it’s safe for me to organise time with a personal trainer who will help me regain some strength in my trunk to stabilise my back – but I have to be careful with ’stomach crunches’ for a while in case I damage the site where the fill tube is attached.

Since I can’t do *any* currently and my back problems make it unlikely I will for some considerable time I just smiled.

My weight hasn’t decreased dramatically as might have been expected… tho it’s fluctuated quite a lot through the week. My weight is still 135.5 kilos but again I’m not concerned.

Apart from the obious fact this is lower than my start weight… I can ’see the light’. I’m no longer grazing through the day and feel like moving around more so soon the weight *will* fall off. This time next week I’m confident I’ll be reporting a weight around the 130 kilo mark.

So, no time to sit and type… lots to do! There’s an entire house awaiting my gentle hands to tidy. clean, and redecorate… and of course the garden has also been neglected. Despite the ongoing pains in my lower back, it’s time to *move* myself I think?
