@lammo šŸ˜² Thatā€™s debilitating. Hard work using the wrong hand for basic tasks. I hope it heals well and you arenā€™t out of action for too long.

Lammo: That sounds awful I hope you are a fast healer and can do things with left hand.
At least your sense of humor is in tact...... :)

Congratulations on the good hydration Lammo! I hope youā€™re not in too much discomfort after your fall, it sounds nasty.

Iā€™m enjoying my ā€œnewā€ exercise of swimming, having a weekly lesson has meant Iā€™m already seeing improvements. Iā€™ve never swum much because, putting it bluntly, I didnā€™t really know how to do it.

Iā€™m setting myself some August goals of walking 10000 steps every day and calorie counting in an attempt to get back to pre-surgery weight. Iā€™ve about 3kg to lose!

I had a great morning, a reasonable afternoon and a rubbish evening, both exercise and calorie wise

1 x yoga per week (not related to weight loss but need to get back into regular stretching).

Lammo:

Lose 8 kg by end of year
