Definitely abducted by the lizard overlords.

Q.E.D.

Fortunately, my wife is happy to join me in my diet. When we married she weighed 45 kilos and I weighed 80 Kilos. In the 20 years since then we each gained 20+ kilograms! After covid I went back to 95 and am now down to 87 kilograms. I lost most of that weight in the week after my heart attack and have lost a Kilo every 2 weeks since then.

Having shed the major part of my excess body fat I expect that losing the next 7 kilos will be a slow process. I'll be happy if I get down to 80 K in a year and hopefully my blood pressure will get lower too!

I have continued to stretch and exercise every day and can now climb 4 flights of stairs without being out of breath.

Today's lunch: chicken and mushrooms with spinach, garlic and onions.

Try to keep the exercise up and consistent as well.

^ Hippos can run surprisingly fast, at speeds approaching 30 mph, but they can't corner very well. When I worked in Namibia I was told to run in zig-zags if being chased by a hippo, but thankfully I never had to put that advice to the test.

^ Ha! In my mind I picture a matador with his cape taunting a hippopotamus.
