My brother has friends over this weekend, which was nice as they got my mind off things. However this did curtail my doing exercise on Saturday. By Sunday the guilt had built up a enough that I pulled myself away from socialising for an hour or two and did an exercise video, which wasn’t difficult [...]

Hardly had the heart for it, but I weighed myself to day. Still convinced I need new scales. Apparently I weigh
230.4lbs…. also 16.6st = 232… see the problem?
So that’s a little less than 4 or 6 pounds lost in a week. If that is actually the case I’m a little concerned. Though as an overview [...]

Our dog Jessie had to be put down. She had advanced cancer of the liver and spleen. We only took her to the vet a couple of hours ago. What makes it worse is my parents are out of the country at the moment so they weren’t there to say goodbye.
Both our old dog Lady [...]

I spent the weekend down in Cornwall, lasing about on the beach, flying giant kites, swimming and walking. Forgot to re-apply my suncream so I am sporting a heavily ‘Sun-kissed’ face. I’d blush from embarrassment but then my face turns a rather distressing shade of puce.
Unfortunately as I was Camping calorie counting was fairly challenging. [...]

I stole this straight off the lovely Libellula’s page. Excellent find on her part. I can’t help but think this will come in handy. For starters, even if I plateau or take a step backwards, I will be fitter and healthier from doing this, that should never be discounted.
“In time of difficulties, we must not [...]

I’m really glad I measured myself in inches last night otherwise I’m sure I would be feeling increadibly disheartened rather than just irritated. I’m now up to 236.2…. blergh. Seriously thinking of investing in one of the frighteningly clever scales which can measure not just weight but fat, muscle and water.

I’m back from my jaunt to Wales. I did a fair number of paintings and I’m rather pleased to discover that landscapes are not nearly as hard as I first thought they would be. In an effort to get some lovely views my sister and I walked up and down hills (though I mainly remember [...]

Boo hiss!
I’m not too worried as I was playing around with the number of calories. The first week I was eating between 1500-1800 and lost approx. 3lbs, so I upped my calories to 2000 which was around the recommended amount for me to still lose weight. Sadly not the case. I’m going to try 1900 [...]

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the idea. You plan to go on a trip, the time gets closer, you think of what you want to bring and then the day before or even two days before you get yourself packed.
My sister has no idea of this concept. Now, she’s in charge of this trip [...]

We’ve had spotty showers here today, even a flash of lightning and clap of thunder or two. Fortunately it sort of cleared up so I was able to go for my proscribed walk. I did the sensible thing and wore trainers and a weather proof coat, however I truly loath the way I look dressed [...]
