Sublime and Beautiful Sunday at the zoo again

Health update
I am doing pretty good got somewhat used tot he puree diet and doing well on it have had no stomach issues, still loosing weight but not so fast now am at 152 lbs but I do feel my energy levels are picking up so its all good

in fact last night I did think about heading out for a walk this morning, but made the mistake of mentioning it to my wife, and she is not keen on the idea, I cannot say I blame here last time i had stiches on my arm after some skin cancer was removed, against her advise I decided to head out for a photo walk before the stiches were removed and slipped and tugged my arm and ripped a few of the stiches, so I agreed this time no walks till the stiches are out, only a week and a day away so I can handle that

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

Good Morning and i hope your weekend is going well

As I was looking for shots to share in todays post, I realized its been over 3 weeks now since my last walk , so sharing shots from previous walks, this one from a walk at the zoo here in New Bedford where i live

I cant blame the weather for my lack of walks for the most part it has been pretty nice but the stomach cramps time in hospital etc have slowed me down a bit.

its funny for close to a year I was very focused on eating healthier and getting a good step count in each day to loose weight, and finally got down to 165lbs which I felt was a good weight and even my Doctor on my yearly check said thats enough, slow down and try and stay at that weight, and then maybe es than a week later my stomach issues cramps etc started, and since then in maybe 2 and a half weeks i have lost another 12 lbs, being on a drip, liquid diet and now puree diet of course is a big factor and i know I will put some weight back on but it just strikes me as funny, or maybe I am just being my normal positive self and trying to see good and humor wherever i can.

Now I am preparing this a week in advance so hoping by the time I share this post my energy levels will have picked up and I will have been out for a walk :)

These deer always look so cute especially when they are sitting and relaxing like this

Dont let your lack of walks keep you down. You seem to be doing the right thing by at least getting some in when you can and eating well. We have a big zoo not far from here, but never been to it yet. We need to go and capture some good photos and memories.

[tattoodjay]

Indeed I am staying positive as best I can, only a week now and I will have seen both Drs and have the stiches out, hopefully be off the pureed diet and getting out with the camera again :)

[coinjoe]

Thats good to hear. Not much longer now. Looking forward to those shots with the camera once you have it out. Just don't push too hard.

👍Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
yes I will be sensible, I was so tempted to head out this morning feeing OK ish, but if I dont get back before the wife wakes up I will be in the dog box LOL, i know she is right i should take it easy for a little longer

Zoos are great. But I’d love to do a safari
!pimp

[tattoodjay]

Indeed a safari is totally different, I did a one day one many years ago in Africa was amazing

Glad the stomach is feeling better, just keep it that way. Baby steps is the name of the game and hopefully you will stop losing any more weight! It will probably feel great to get out walking again, it's just too bad that this slowed you down.

The animals are always cute, especially the deer! It is amazing how long elephants can live, especially in zoos. In the wild they never live as long. Great shot you have of Emily there! I hope the day treats you well, and keep getting stronger.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well on the puree diet and your energy is picking up! Your wife is absolutely right—listen to her and rest until those stitches are out. We can wait a week and a day for your next photo walk! Take care.

[tattoodjay]

yes I know she is right, she is snoring away now and I was breifly tempted to sneak out and hoe to be back before she wakes but firstly i know she is right and secondly i would be in the dog box if she woke up while I was out lOL
