Here's me thinking that breaking 18 stone for a second time would de-value the experience; may I say what a load of crap that idea was, as it feels fabulous....again! It's probably made all the more sweet by the fact that I am the lightest I have been for God knows how long, as I am now weighing in at seventeen stone...............nine!!! I am elated by this, and also surprised. I was a good boy, but not a brilliant one; no fast food and no big sinning, but the odd jam sandwich before bedtime had me feeling guilty and certainly not expecting this result. What I have done is gone swimming twice, done a half hour of step, and just come back from an hour of badminton training. Clearly that amounts to more calories burned that two jam butties!
It comes at a particularly good time, as I have had a hell of a frustrating and crappy day at work, and am feeling a bit tired and rough as a result of it. This has been the perfect pick-me-up. Not only this, I have also taken my August photos which should soon be uploaded onto the slide shows on here (if you click on them you will be able to see them in gory largeness). There are definite and distinct signs of reduced bellyness, particularly from side on. Feels goooooooooooood!
Finally, I have just realised something else. I have lost 14 pounds in total (Weigh in (3) was when I bought the posh scales, which weighed me in at 18 stone 9 pounds); and the last time I looked, 14 pounds is...........ready for it.........1 stone! Not a pebble......not a boulder......a stone!!! YAY! I'm still going to measure weight loss in pounds (there is something of an anticlimax with going from 14 somethings (pounds) to just 1 something (stone), I like numbers that just keep going up!).
Now, have you been paying attention? What am I going to be doing this weekend?? Well, I get paid on Friday, so am off to Debenhams to pick myself up a bottle of 'The One' and 'The One Gentleman'. This was my planned reward for 14 pounds lost, and I don't think anyone reading this blog (or writing it!) can argue I haven't earned it.
Today my friends....life is good!

Well done!! What fantastic news. Am proud of you. Sorry for slow reading of this week's weigh in - I've been on my own (highly not recommended) weight training this week with a nasty stomach bug! Definitely don't advise this as a weight loss method, although I have lost weight!
Keep up the good work ... and let me know what the reward for 28 pounds lost, as I suspect it's only about 6-8 weeks away!

Oh noooo! Sorry my dear; I was a bit worried, and now I know why. Really hope that you are feeling better, and that you gave yourself some time to recover without doing too much. Get Kevin to give you some tlc this weekend (Reading are playing away!!).
