Ello sweet (and sporty) Friendos 
The last few months, my health has been stable, I guess. I think it's good that it didn't get worse, not by much any way, but I do struggle with my weight.
I was hoping to lose some weight before the surgery. But somehow, I can't keep the numbers below the 80. I keep on going from just below the 80 to something just below 83. Up, down, and on and on...
While I know it would be better for me to have a weight below the 74 kilos, I just can't seem to manage to get there at the time.
I can't do the usual exercises that I did in previous weight-loss journeys. My leg won't allow it at the moment.
I struggle more with my muscles, with my hands, and I can't seem to get "on top of things".
I want to stay motivated, I really want to lose the weight. But... Ugh... It just seems so much harder this time around.
I feel there is some influence of my dark monster, and I know my hormones are struggling as well. I want to share positive things! I want to celebrate all the little wins. But... It's been so long since I had these wins. 
I really dislike complaining about my issues. I want to focus on the positives! Get that surgery. Do my best for the recovery. And then... Slowly rebuilt what I lost, and hopefully, I'll be able to do more of my "old" exercises again. Fingers crossed
and all that! 
I want to thank you for all your support!
every bit of encouragement makes it a bit easier to keep going...
If I don't hear from the hospital today, I'll need to do the "anxious" thing and... I'll call them tomorrow after the walkies with Arwen. I've waited for two weeks then, and the doc said they'd call "shortly". Two weeks is all I could muster, and now I am just afraid that they'll "forget" me again, like it happend in 2021... Of course, those times were a bit different as Covid19 was wild then. But still, it won't be a bad thing to call and inform about it. I may be told to wait. But... Maybe... I may hang up knowing a date. So I'll have to take that chance...
But today, some relaxing now, and in a few hours, I'll get ready to visit the Zoo. Get some steps in, hopefully I'll be able to enjoy some "quiet" time with the beautiful creatures.
And fingers crossed
some more, that I'll be able to get some nice snaps and vids. I know my digital camera isn't the best. But I'll take it with me anyway (battery is charging now), maybe the lightning will be well enough to get some good snaps. As the zoom is better than the one on my phone.
I don't wanna give up! And I will keep sharing my "progress". I'll try to "keep the faith". Giving up isn't an option I wanna chose. So thank you to all that support me here! 
Well, let's rest some more, so that I can spare/recharge some spoons
, so that I'll have enough energy for the travel to the Zoo, the time there, and traveling back and all that...

PS. Sharing a snap I took the last time I was at the Zoo, I feel like these lovely lions at the moment...
