Yesterday at home I was having a mini meltdown because I was worried about my weigh in. I’d had a week of BLTs while I was cooking. BLTs aren’t bacon, lettuce and tomatoes which is just as well given that I’m allergic to tomatoes. No, BLTs for me are “bites, [Read more…]
So, I’ve decided to shut down one of my other sites. The site Rather Weighty This was great when I started it and I used it when I need to but it was set up for the wrong reasons. I wanted to separate my weight loss journey from my every [Read more…]
So, as you can see I like to write something at least once a month. Sometimes I have nothing I particularly want to say I just like to try and be consistent. This is one of those months where I have nothing much to say so instead I’m going to [Read more…]
Can’t do it. Can’t do without my handwritten diary. I tried but I just can’t. I tried to do everything in iCal but I need my handwritten diary too. I’m not sorry! Stupidly though, I now update both!
I’m one of those people who love hearing other peoples opinions. I don’t always agree with them but I love hearing them. And yes, sometimes when I hear them I start judging the person. Anyone who claims “I don’t judge others” is lying. It’s human nature. How you vocalise your [Read more…]
A few years ago, more than I can be bothered to count, I decided I’d had quite an interesting life and would write my autobiography. I wrote quite a few chapters and kept going back and editing them and padding them out a bit. I took out some stories, added [Read more…]
Millennium Falcon How this ship is still flying is beyond me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Falcon and in a few years I plan to own one and do the Kessel run in 11 parsecs, but right now I’m amazed this particular YT-1300F Corellian Light Freighter is still [Read more…]
Happily I handed over the forms with my bank details on it to the girl behind the reception desk. I had the tour and I was impressed so arranging a monthly direct debit was perfectly fine. The next stage was booking my fitness assessment. Excited and motivated I booked my [Read more…]
So I’m, halfway through week two of my Fitter You programme and today I had my second weigh-in at Weight Watchers. To say I’m amazed and happy just doesn’t seem to cut it. When I went back to WW after Christmas I was 20st 9lb and at my first weigh-in [Read more…]
So Brad and I watched the movie First Man last night. As someone who loves everything to do with space and space travel I was really looking forward to it. I was disappointed. Which to be honest is usually the case with a Ryan Gosling movie. ***WARNING: SPOILER ALERT*** From here [Read more…]
So a “study” has discovered that people who are more attractive are more likely to be accepting of gay sex. Well, that’s what you’d believe if you’d read nearly every fucking gay news website recently. They’re a bit slow on the uptake, the report of the study was published in [Read more…]
When I finally got round to checking my email this morning I found that Matt (@FitterYouGlobal) had done as promised and sent me my first workout plan, meal suggestions and recipes and my daily confidence boosting challenge. One of the things he requested was a shirtless “before” pic but he [Read more…]
A few days ago a guy I follow on Twitter posted the tweet below. Trying to edit the video I posted to the @FitterYouGlobal FB group of my 150 pressups but with a “modesty oblong” so I can post it on here, but my Adobe Premiere skills are not at that [Read more…]
So tonight was my first meeting back at Weight Watchers in nine weeks. It was entirely depressing. It was also the first meeting of 2019. It was fucking shit. I’m my own worst enemy. I could give you some shit excuse like “my head wasn’t in the right space!” (it [Read more…]
My cinema visits for 2018 were very much down on last year. Something I will rectify for 2019. That being said, here is my top ten for 2018. As usual, you can disagree, it’s your right, but this is my list and my opinion. If a film isn’t listed it’s [Read more…]
Other than the odd tweet or status update on Facebook I’ve been holding off saying anything about the controversy surrounding Christmas songs such as Fairytale of New York and Baby, it’s Cold Outside. Now though, after a couple of things I’ve read this morning, I feel I need to comment [Read more…]
***WARNING*** Some of the paragraphs may contain spoilers. Last week someone, I forget who, retweeted the Gay Times into my time line. The title was “American Horror Story: A definitive ranking of all eight seasons.” I’m not linking to the article as I’m boycotting Gay Times and Attitude but feel [Read more…]
While searching through old files on my laptop I found this. This was the first poem I ever read at Toastmasters. I remember trying to find a poem I liked but couldn’t chose from the vast array so in the end I wrote my own. One of the things that [Read more…]
I was only down 1lb at yesterdays weigh-in. It’s weird being happy and unhappy about this. I’m happy that I was down but I honestly expected to be down more. I don’t mean that I was expecting a five or six pound loss but a two would have been nice, [Read more…]
Planning is key to a successful weight loss programme and that doesn’t mean just writing out a shopping list. Sometimes some foods need prepping in advance. As the name suggests Overnight Oats are made the day before and left in the fridge overnight. You can make a few in advance [Read more…]
