Well, less than a week after I go on about how 'I tend to know whether I have lost or gained weight without having to get on the scales, and am never surprised', what happens?? I got on the scales feeling sure that I had gained weight, and I was surprised!! Now 16 stone 11 pounds, 1 pound off (actual, 1.2)!
I am sat here trying to justify the weight loss, but am coming up with very little. I have been extremely light on the exercise this week; one session on the Wii Fit and that's it. Badminton social on Friday night was missed in favour of the works Christmas do (three-course festive menu which could hardly be called healthy). I also managed to knacker my foot that evening which has prevented any further exercise for the week; it also stopped me from going to the badminton Christmas do, for which I was rather gutted. Still, it prevented me from having another gut-busting Christmas dinner, and I felt justified by treating myself and my gammy foot to a chicken fried rice and crawn prackers.
I think two things are happening here, Firstly, I have got more than a bit lucky, and secondly the revenge for some of the sins this week may well be visited upon me next Tuesday, but right now I don't give a monkeys; it is now a grand total of 2 stone off......that's 2.....count them.......1.......2 stone!
Although I have never set myself a 'weight target', I think I would be happy losing another 2 and sticking in the late 14 stoneys (it must have been secondary school when I was anywhere around there). Therefore, weight-wise, we are at the halfway point. Considering the difference on the howgoodyoufeel-o-meter between now and the start of this blog (half year anniversary next Tuesday), it is hard to believe what another 2 stone will do for me; but I am VERY keen to find out!
This is also a sad moment - for some - as I now feel it is safe enough to say goodbye to the chip banner on top of this blog. We all like chips; and chips, please believe me when I say, I will return, but for now we must have some time apart. I will be searching the image gallery on google for a suitable alternative (steak and kidney pie?????...........), but if anyone has any suggestions, I would be happy to ign......errrr.......hear them!!
I am determined to get my head down this week and truly lodge myself into the 16's (nothing worse than achieving a milestone, then going past it in the wrong direction); the gammy foot is still a bit gammy, so I've really got to watch the gobbling. Keep it going Blaydon.

Hooray, hooray, the chips are down the pan!
Hooray, hooray, the chips are gone forever!
Big hugs and well done. Hope the foot heals soon ... the mind does boggle at how you can injure your foot at a 3 course dinner and not at badminton!!

PS ... update on the running please :-)

My mind also boggled; there was a disco but I didn't even dance!! Funnily enough I had the same problem at almost the same time last year too, just woke up in the morning and could put no weight on it. Still a bit hobbly, but improving.
I would like to say that my dicky foot (technical term there) is the reason for me not running yet, but even with a healthy one I probably wouldn't have got round to it. I need to stop faffing and make a decision. So here it is; I am going to trial the place in Bolton (for logistics) and trial a place not far from me - unfortunately called 'Marl Pits' for quality (it's a 400m track, but not a proper surface) then make plans from there. Will keep you posted. I would like to get at least one run in before Christmas to feel like I've made a start xx
Ooooo ... I like the banner!! Was going to suggest another food stuff, but thought salad was not quite right for the pre-Xmas weeks!
Good stuff all round ... and hope the foot gets better for that one run before the festivities.

You have NO idea how much faff it took to get that banner right. I actually had to nick four photos from google images (one big one wouldn't work as stretching it made it all blurry) and put them together so they were the right size!!
Really hope I can get out and do a bit, it will be a few small steps for man, but a giant leap for mararhon-kind! xx
