Well things have not been so good…

I’ve not been in a “good place” for a fair while. For me, life is an inescapable, long, lonely, slow trudge towards a meaningless end. Ultimately whatever we do is spectacularly pointless. So, I think I need to take a break from Facebook for an undefined period. I’m still considering if I should post this…

[Diet Update] Not the worst of weeks, not the best.

Something is going on at work which I can’t talk about yet. It has been consuming my thoughts recently. All good, but it distracted me from the blog. Apologies. I’ve lost another Kilo, despite a diet hiccup on Friday when post-work drinks led to some junk food being devoured. Being hungry and drunk isn’t an ideal…

My First Personal Training Session in Four Years

As I might say if I still lived in Yorkshire; “un t’ things ‘a’ worried uz on uz journey back ta physical ‘n mental ‘ealth wor if uz body chuffin’ ‘ood be capable o’ doin wha’ it used ta be able ta doa int’ gym.“ Or, to put it another way… One the things that worried…

[Diet Update] Day 7 – Weigh In!

So how’d it go? The first week has gone well. None of the food was repulsive, in fact, it has been a bit of a surprise to find that the Jane Plan food is delicious. I’ve lost over 2kgs, which is precisely what I was looking for. OK, I have 24 to go (around 4st…

[Diet Update] Day 5 – Gnomic Nudity

Yesterday evening was the when I experienced “Gnomic Nudity“, otherwise known as my Gym Induction. Didn’t you do that a few days ago? Well, that was my PT’s gym, this is the gym in my building. I plan to see my PT at his gym and do my day-to-day exercise in my building’s gym. Hence my…

The Blue Badge

You may have read in previous blogs that I have a hidden disability, Avascular Necrosis. A definition of which you can find here.  Some time ago Transport For London (TFL) started an amazing scheme. A blue badge for passengers with hidden disabilities, that mirrors the already successful white badge for pregnant women. We don’t wear a…

Back to the track

The latter part of 2017 wasn’t fun. Shortly after starting the anti-anxiety medication I had a bad experience with a new GP. If you find a good GP, don’t move, even if you have to travel to see them. I was described as a drug addict by the new GP and refused a new prescription…

The Mechanics Inside Me

I just decided to share the mechanics that are now happily living inside me. I recently went for my final post-op visit to see my surgeon. They were very pleased with my progress and that the condition of both ‘appliances‘ is almost pristine.  So here they are.     So the outcome of the post-op…

Why One ‘Crazy’ Cook

It’s an excellent question. I suppose that in reality, I was just searching for a decent blog name. When I came to this one, I realised that there is only one of me, and with my mental health issues, I suppose some people could consider me crazy. I wear my ‘crazy’ crown with pride these…
