• Weight quite low today…

  Considering that I had a quite an outrageous night out on Sunday and spent most of Monday in bed with a hangover, my weight this morning was 78.8Kg, which is kinda getting there. I do however attribute that to two very ropey rump steaks that I bought from Ed Supermarket on Sunday, they were so [...]

• Weight loss update

  I think my last entry was Saturday 3rd June, so here's an update:
  Easyjet cancelled my flight on Sunday so I couldn't go to England, this was a real bummer and I was very pissed off. However Sunday started well at 80.9kg, which I was very pleased with. It was the opening day of the [...]

• Slight increase today

  81.1kg today is slightly more than yesterday, but less than the day before yesterday…so I'm not worried.  The next few days might be a bit tricky as I am off to England for a few days and not really staying anywhere, so I'll try and get some good habits together. More later.

• Sudden Loss

  I was stunned this morning, to measure my weight at 80.2kg, although my backside was very explosive yesterday, which may account for the sudden loss.
  Yesterday was my first venture to the pub since my diet started. I went to the Extreme Bar in Chantemerle, where Sue and Maddy had already gone to meet a friend. [...]

• Bad Guts

  How annoying, just when it was all going so smoothly, my arse explodes and is a bit sore, so not sure if cycling is going to be the best thing to do today….that's probably enough detail now for most people.

• BMI - Body Mass Index

  Today I bought some bathroom scales and found out that I was 85.1kg. I measured myself as 173cm so
  BMI=85.1/1.73×1.73 = 28.43
  you can do this easily using the BBC's BMI Calculator: http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/your_weight/bmimetric_index.shtml

• Personal Best (Swimming & Alcohol)

  Personal Best:
  OK I didn’t really do anything yesterday so I thought I better pull the stops out today…however, what with looking after Maddy etc etc we didn’t get much of a break at all today.   Sue reached her ‘personal best’ the other day by swimming 22 lengths and she did it again today. My ‘personal [...]

• My lifestyle plan is going wrong

  I returned later on Sunday to Les Cases d’Alcanar in the car with Sue and Maddy to show them my new discovery. There is a great promenade there which goes on for a few kilometres, but the beach is pebbles rather than sand. A nice place though that we shall return to on a nice [...]

• Diary of a fat bloke:

  OK, I have realized that I don’t do enough exercise, probably eat too much and definitely drink too much.  My lifestyle is such that I play in several bands in the winter that involved lots of drinking beer and shots of vodka mixed with sweet sugary stuff, I also share a bottle of wine everyday [...]
