I was so looking forward to Yoga in the Park starting back up today. Mother Nature has other ideas. Lots of rain expected so I will be burning calories indoors today! Happy Saturday one and all.11

Busy day at work but we got it all done (thanks to my two awesome volunteers) and I’m off for a week! My best friend invited me over with a couple of other families so I dashed from work home for a quick shower and then went to enjoy time with good friends and some cuddles with my nieces and nephew (I don’t have any real ones so adopted her kids!)
Snacking and bring and share at a braai is not easy to log plus I did not actual exercise although work day was super active so I’m going to take a pass day.
Today’s duties included chasing the 50kg python around his enclosure pulling the unshed skin off him. He rarely sheds fully so we need to assist him. He doesn’t really like it much but isn’t aggressive so he just slithers away. At least that was inside though as the rest of the day was outside in the torrential rain. No bites today although two of the three stranded seals tried while I cleaned their enclosures.
It’s been a busy week but a really good one!10 -
Yes X 3! Technically my calories were 4 over but I'm not sure I've fully logged all my walking (and I walked a LOT) so I'm counting it.11

I don't know if you have ever had a nutritionist tell you what to eat if you are ravenous or not...but I was told a little natural sugar from fruit won't derail you. I've also been told if you are STARVING... have a lean protein portion...and drink a few glasses of water.

Yes 3 times, and though I have used no pass days yet there will be no winner's circle for me this month.
I am a bit down tonight. I have a health issue I have not mentioned, its kind of embarrassing. Thursday I am getting surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), not life threatening or anything, but embarrassing and inconvenient. The surgery will be endoscopic, without incision, and though they call it "minimally invasive" it will be done under a general anesthetic and I will have to spend a night in the hospital. This is my first real heath problem and first experience with surgery, so I am not happy. I always assumed that any health problems I have would be weight related, but apparently this is not.
Long story, but a few weeks ago I was tested and found to have a UTI, rare for a man, except men with BPH... I had no obvious symptoms, so may have had the UTI for a long time. After a course of antibiotics it cleared up and they did a kind of internal inspection and the doctor said that without the surgery the UTI would likely recur. And there are other problems of course. After surgery I will not be able to do my weight training for at least a month, will be exercise limited and probably have other limitations. I am sure I will survive and be fine, but it does not feel good tonight. The doctor says I will likely have no side effects and this should be a long-term, probably permanent fix to the BPH problem.
As I said this is embarrassing for me, I held off talking about it here for a long time. But I rely on y'all for support, and I think it helps for people to know.
Otherwise my eating was good today and I worked in the yard most of the day, lots of digging and hard work. I am trying to get things done before the surgery that I may not be able to do afterwards until it's a lot colder. I am pretty tired from the yardwork, but other than feeling down about my condition I am ok tonight. Life could be worse.
However the inability to exercise will bump me out of the winner's circle this month, and maybe next.16 -
Being able to not only feel your feelings but share them is its own winner's circle if you ask me @alligatorob
Sorry you're anxious about it all yet it sounds like you are surrounded by a caring health team. Hopefully, rehab (with physio) is something you can discuss with them so that they can make a plan for you to get back to your physical activity goals sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, I hope everything resolves for you in due time! UTIs alone don't sound fun so BPH can't possibly be a walk in the park. You're a tough person for having gone through all this up til now, my word!
Sending you 🤗8 -
