Weigh in (32)

Ooooooooooo kaaaayyyyyyyy; that was unexpected. Either my scales are knackered, or I am going to go on TV and advocate the pizza diet; 'Yes ladies and gentlemen, I lost two pounds on the deep pan plan! A twelve inch (don't be crude) will lose you two inches round the waist; try it.....NOW!'
If indeed the scales are telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth, it can't be called a healthy weight loss, but I will take it nonetheless. It has been a weird week and the diet has been all over the shop - not to mention the lack of exercise - but maybe the indulgences have been outweighed (literally) by the times I couldn't face eating because of my poorly woorly toothie woothie. Also there may be a loss in muscle mass (don't ask me for any more information in this, not a clue; up until a few months ago when someone mentioned it to me, I though it was a place muscles go to on a Sunday morning). Anyway, 16 stone 10 pounds I now am (and yes, I did get on the scales three times to make absolutely sure)........

The phrase for the week ahead is 'cautious optimism'. Things are starting to stabilise - and more importantly, stop hurting - now; long may it continue I say. Still not going to do anything daft, but I can at least regain my focus on the right sorts of food (I feel an online supermarket shop coming on). This weekend may also provide the opportunity for me to enrol at the local gym (positive steps!! positive steps!!). I have made a startling discovery that I hate running in the freezing cold, and the gym will be a nice, controlled, and warm environment in which to to train.
The concrete is still drying, but there is hope of a good foundation to build an assault on the Great Manchester run this May.
Oh, and by the way; if you are frustrated - possibly relieved! - at the lack of photographic additions on the right hand side of this blog (there I am, over there; helloooo!), there are two reasons for this. Firstly, I was a bone idle numb nuts; secondly, when I finally got round to taking an up to date photograph, I discovered that my camera was knackered (it needed a new set of batteries every time I took a photo, and has now gone to the dark room in the sky). So the good - or bad! - news is that a new cam is on order, and once I have gone through the 35 page (font size 6) booklet on how to use it, a current snap will be uploaded (so, about 2014 then.....!).
