A word of thanks...

Tonight our consultant let us know that next week will be the last time she runs our group. It marks the end of an era.

The support I have had on my slimming journey from my consultant and the group is second only to that I've had from my wife.

So, thanks to a great consultant - the journey would've been a lot harder without the non-judgemental, supportive and informal way you run group. You will be missed.

Could it be magic?

Two weeks in a row I lost 3.5lb per week, then the following two weeks I have put on 1lb per week.
It's a bit disappointing given the good work I did, but it was to be expected as I am at the time of year when I am helping celebrate several birthdays. That means losing control a bit, and when added to stresses at work and personally it all adds up.

It's not all bad though. One of the things I have been doing to relieve the stress has been to do a lot more exercise. As I think I have mentioned before,  my wife are currently having personal training sessions twice a week.  It's going great so far and I can feel myself getting fitter with each session. Its been five weeks now so I got my bronze body magic award - it's only taken 2 years for me to get any sort of consistency with exercise from week to week and I feel great because of it.

I am back on it now and hoping for a loss next week. :-)

Finding my muse...

When I was younger I used to write poetry (for school work, to get my feelings out or, most memoranly, to win a competition about mammoths!) so I decided to hav a go at some poetry to sum up or help with my slimming journey.  The problem so far has been that nothing I have come up with has been particularly original. Extracts so far:

When I was good I was very very good, but when I synned I went for it...

I think I can I know I can because I am a slimming man...

Food glorious food, at least that's how the song goes...

If I get any further or create anything vaguely decent I will post it later

Fit again...

Since my last post I have been getting loads of exercise having started with a personal trainer. It has also coincided with a loss oc half a stone and I am beginning to feel really good again about my slimming journey.
I have even taking to exercising outside PT sessions. Why it took so long to do this I have no idea, but long may it continue!
