I have started my pre op diet today a low fat low GL diet, I hope I can stick to it , I have a BBQ to night at a friends house to celebrate Aussie day and a final night out on Thursday with the wife and a couple of friends . The problem in the UAE is that most socializing revolves around drinking and eating , and I do like to do both...Hmmmm.
I have recently gotten into the habit of reading at least a couple of blog posts most nights and the more I read the more I think that I can do this, I will definitely need to find the time to get the gym sessions in (not easy when you leave the house at 7am and return 7pm) , but I'm sure once the weight starts to move, the inspiration for the exercises will come - in the old days I used to play squash and do weights quite regularly , that seems like a life time ago now.
Roll on the 9th and let the losing begin....

Hey Andrew, date set...woot woot. There is a Fitness First in DIFC, which I try to go to during lunch sometimes and if you ever want to go for a walk I can join you during lunch. I found that the socialising is more select now, choosing to either do drinks out or dinner and definitely no more big brunches every other week now. I find that choosing the better food options I can still enjoy Dubai (or AD for you :).
ReplyDeleteSorry for not contacting you this week it has been hectic , hope we can get that coffee next week..

Congratulations on your date, Andrew! I'm newly banded myself and finding that right now, before my first fill, it's 99% willpower, and it started with the pre-op diet. You can do it!! Best of luck!!
