Me and my big ideas eh?! Here's me, naively thinking that itemising my diet to the very last detail on a daily basis could possibly help the weight loss. What was I thinking?! Unbelievably even though I have been to the gym three (yes, THREE) times this week, I haven't so much as lost a single, solitary pound; I have in fact lost five, single, solitary pounds!! The last '8' I saw on the scales was when I said goodbye to the 18-stone zone, imagine my delight to see that lovely, stunning little number appear within 16 stone 8 pounds!! I feel the urge to say something here......
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......
I'm so chuffed I'm even writing in red! 16 stone 8 represents a new all time low for Fat Man To Fit Man, and a weight I cannot remember being anywhere near for a long looooooong time (I think spandex were in fashion back then). Whether the stroke of utter genius (ahem) of itemising my diet has anything to do with the result, I really don't care; but just in case, I'm going to do it again this week and see if we can break the back of the 16 stones.
One thing is for sure, the visits to the gym have really contributed. It is particularly satisfying, especially when one of said gym trips was on Sunday, the morning after the 'eye episode'. The me of old would have used the trauma (!) of that experience to cancel all plans for the day after in order to recuperate, but no; I was there on the good old FFG, and even had time to prune the evil thorn bush which lurks in the back yard when I made it home (have the scratches to prove it).
All this is happening just in time, as the countdown is now at seven weeks until the Great Manchester. The fitness, the weight loss and the running distance is all moving in the right direction and at the right pace to be ready come May 20th.
This week could be a tricky one though. Easter weekend at Mums usually comes with more than a bit of over-indulging; not only this, but spending time away will mean difficulties in getting to the gym. If I can get through to the next weigh in having eaten okay and exercised as much as I did last week then then will be a result and a half. There is a small possibility that I might be at the gym on Easter Sunday morning; if I manage it, it will send a message to myself, to you, and anyone else who gets wind of it, that I am VERY serious about making this happen......
.....Christ; now that I have bigged it up, I'd better do it hadn't I?!!

Fab news ... this is really great, and definitely to be celebrated (although not with eating cake!!). Am so proud of you ...
W-A x.
@Wee_Ali Thank you my dear. Having a bitch of a week at work but managing not to let it get to me and affect my diet/exercising, all good stuff. You are right little miss 'you didn't answer my question about the photos', I keep meaning to sort it out, but now I definitely will. Blummin' hope there is a difference after so long!
