Thursday is the last day of the week here, and Thursday morning started with a session in the gym and in the afternoon I also managed to squeeze a game of golf in, it was very hot out again , it was a good day considering it was a work day :- )
The following morning I went fishing with some friends on one of their boats just off the coast of Abu Dhabi, we had a really fun time catching big barracuda , this was however a very early start , being on the boat at 6 am ( on my day off - no lie in).... It's the first time I've been fishing in the UAE and really enjoyed the experience , this was followed by a nice lunch with friends and the family outside one of the hotels in the city with a beer garden.
Life on the Ocean waves..with a smile :-)
The One that didn't get away.
Inside Ferrari World Arena.
Now the good news and the bad news ... when I went to the fight , I was weighing a new low with a 14.8 Kg loss (WOW) , however this morning, after once again drinking beer , I was 2.5 Kgs up... Blah....message to self - DON'T DRINK BEER
It is now 4 days since the second fill , and I'm not sure if I like it.... I have very nearly been stuck twice, bread has not been chewed enough and only just went down , I think I can understand what being fully stuck must be like , and after the close shaves in the last few days I have been chewing like mad...I do not want to be stuck - ever ...
The down side of this fill is that at the moment I keep feel a little sick, no matter what I eat , I do not feel comfortable.....I'm not sure why this is? I'm hoping if I have a more relaxed week the band will settle down and we can become friends again, I'm certainly a little tight at the moment and I'm only eating very little. I was happy with the band before the fill, restriction when it came was comfortable and did not make me feel bad...I will have to keep a close eye on this as it does not quite feel right at the moment...Should keep losing this week though , so thats Ok ....
Ciao

Well Andrew-what a great weekend you had. I think I might try me some beer-my drink of choice. I got the impression it wasn't good for me so have held off and stuck to wine.
ReplyDeleteStill love the name Andrew. It was a good thing I had a boy the second time around or I would have kept trying just so I could use the name.
Have a great week.
hmmm - it is hard to be friends with your band sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteOnly advice I can give is eat SLOWLY and chew, chew, chew :-)
Hello Andrew,
ReplyDeleteSandy Lee directed me to you to hopefully get your help regarding a problem with people having to tab through to get to my verification word in order to leave a comment. She said you had had a similar problem and had been given a fix. If you would kindly send it to me at giraffecookie@yahoo.com I would be very, very grateful. Thank you,

I watched the fights here in the states. The belt fights were kind of boring. I am a HUGE BJ Penn fan, and I was really disappointed. I like Kendall Grove also, so it was a crappy fight night. The venue looked so cool, though. I can't believe you live there. It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that your gain is just water weight. Really hope that the nausea passes, I had about 10 days of it after my op and it was horrid.
ReplyDeleteYour weight loss is fantastic, well done.
Ellina
