Weigh in (56)

Boooor-ing, Booooor-ing, Blaydonnnnn! Booooor-ing, Boooooooring, Blaydonnnnnnnn!

Do you know something, if I actually TRIED to stay the exact same weight (decimal point included) I wouldn't be able to; and yet for the second week running I am 16 stone 2.2 pounds. There was an
exciting moment when - on the twelfth try - the scales showed 16 stone 2 exactly (0.2 pounds off.....result!), but I can confirm that on the 13th - 21st attempts I had reverted back to the number which I can't seem to escape!

This is getting difficult. The week's diet is no worse than previous weeks when I've lost weight, but even with the increased exercise it's not having the same effect. Yes yes, I know the old 'muscle weighs more than fat' adage, but let's face it; if all the fat in my body turned to muscle I would simply become one, huge, raging bicep. A truth though it might be, it is not the kind of truth to cling to.

Boredom is something which often leads me to eat badly (and I don't think I am alone in this); but in this particular instance it is ironically motivating. You see, I am bored silly with being 16 stone 2.2 pounds, and much as I love writing to you lovely people, I am bored with telling you I am 16 stone and 2.2 pounds; if I have to do it again I am going to run out of things to say (which to anyone who really knows me, takes some doing!); just how many ways are there of saying 'nothing has happened'. It would actually be more interesting to tell you about gaining weight; not that I have any intention of doing so.

So once again it is get my head down and knuckle-down. Fortunately it is another free weekend coming up, so controlling the diet should not be a problem; not to mention the gym-thing. I have yet to discover what a totally vigilant diet combined with the current exercise regime will do for me; hopefully this will be the week. Care to take a guess? Push me below the 16 stone mark do you think?? Or is your money on 16 stone 2.2 pounds??!!! AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!

At least week 57 hasn't started with a Chinese takeaway!

As always, preferring to finish on a positive. I did a count-up after Tuesday's run, and am now a grand total of 21.2km away from completing the '2012 Olympic Challenge'. Nowwwww, let me see......with 8km scheduled for Thursday, and 14km for Sunday....what does that make boys and girls?? Carry the one, and add the number you first thought of........Yes, not only will the 201.2 milestone will be passed, it will be two weeks before challenge end!

I fully expect the gym to stop what they are doing, and gather round the FFG for that final push on Sunday morning.........ahem.......dreaming? yes! Better at least get a stuffing certificate (flashbacks of 10 metre swimming award at Primary School, one of my proudest moments...!). At the very least I will take great delight in crossing off the last box on the chart.  I can then stop worrying about having to run dirty great distances.......no wait........hang on........no I can't!!!??!!**?!
