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…
Feb Update
The time is rapidly approaching my Birthday. My 42nd birthday to be precise, something I’m OK with, so that’s good. I’ve been having a focused time at work, as after a long period of nothing happening, I’ve been promoted, and we’ve had 3 new sales in the last 3 months. All of which I’ve been key to…
[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…
[Diet Update] Day 4 – A Glum Cannon
So, how as the first day using “Glucomannan”? I hear precisely no one screaming at me. Well, funny you should ask… It was fine. Full Stop.😃 Which is a relief, you hear about all those horror stories of “anal leakage” and worry that it could happen with any new dieting supplement. So, phew, no runny bot bots. Having…
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…
[Diet Update] Day 3 – Back to Work
The joy I felt when my alarm gently roused me from a good nights sleep was without a doubt the most arse clenching upsetting thing to have happened to me in weeks. In summary, it was a bit of a downer. Still, the rent doesn’t pay itself. Today is my first day back in the…
[Diet Update] Day 2
Day 2, and all is well, apart from feeling hungry that is. I honestly had forgotten what hungry felt like. I’m not sure I like it. But as Kate Moss once said, “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels“. It better fell bloody amazing Kate! Once again the food itself was lovely. No complaints, apart…
