Hi Elena,

I'm doing well, thanks. So far I have lost 39kg and am feeling great. Now that the weather is warming up, I am really looking forward to getting out and exercising even more, although I discovered this weekend that the magpies are nesting already, which is a real pain when I am out cycling.

Would love to hear any food selection tips you have, especially for eating out as my husband and I are quite active on the rock n roll dance scene which, while great exercise, also involves a lot of eating out with friends!

Cheers

Tracey

Hey Tracey,

39kg to date that is really good!!

i hate magpie breading season. when i was a kid mum painted eyes on the back of my helmet so i wouldnt get swooped lol. they other option i had was waving a stick over my head on the way home from school. good for your arm muscles lol.

I eat out quite alot with friends so i tend to go for Entrees. some places they are quite big and other places thier Entrees are so small they dont even fill up a lap band patient.

i find all my friends and family are quite happy to eat my left overs if i get a main lol. its annoying some times because the dishes on the entree menu arnt that good and there is always something you want more on the mains. i try and go for something that is still healthy and something that cant get stuck (i find beef and pork are really hard for me to digest).

Im lucky that i know when to stop before i get the band pain and have to throw up. what about you?

Swing dancing lots loads of fun i love that period. i learnt a little bit of it for a few school plays but thats about it. i love all the singer of swing especially ella fitzgerald and frank sinatra (thanks to my nanna)

if you want to email me privatly my email is elena343@hotmail.com

thanks
