EEK !

I joined Pure Gym today, I can't wait for it to open, I weighed in at 13-11 today, well pleased with that ! Had my discipline at work today , for an accident I had 2 weeks ago, I was let off, as they thought it was a 50/50 accident, so a big relief for me .

C25K

Started again today, a good 30lbs lighter than the last time I tried, but it is still hard work.  I want to do the Manchester 10k in May, a big target 🎯 but hey ho, you never know :-)

STS Pecking my head

Still behaving, done 30 days logging on MFP now, which I am proud of, knuckling down on boxing day !
My weight has not changed this week, I knew this time would come, but it still hurts.
The weather is so cold, my bike hasn't moved for weeks, except to go into the trainer for a few minutes, which I can't stand doing.
Walking is good, and I am going to walk to work today.
Angie says I have OCD about my weight loss this time, but everyone can see this is the real deal this time.
I am counting down the days until Pure gym opens here, a good workout after work at 1am will be just what I need.
I do get anxious when I cannot exercise, so Angie does have a point !
I have walked 103 miles this month, which is a record for me !

Best Laid Plans Of Mice and Men

Well, the visit to my brothers never happened, he had to work :-(
So we stayed at home, and invited the grown up kids with there kids,we had a bit of a shindig, and i dropped 12 cans of Cider !
I was in a happy mood, I weighed in at 13-13 or 195 lbs in the morning, which is a stunning achievement, even if I say so myself !
I didn't go over calories with food, and I never count cider, it is not often, only the second time this month I have had any.
Yesterday we went to visit another son, who is at uni, we had a Toby carvery, as it's his 20th birthday today .
This was all logged on MFP, and well within what I was allowed for the day .
Today I have just walked over 6 miles, to claw some calories back, back on it now for at least the next 8 days !






Some photo's from my walk this morning .

Wow

My wife found an old picture of me from 2009 today, I need to work out how to stitch two photos together, even my daughters were shocked 😲
A Polish driver was shocked, and sucked in his face and pinched it,then told me how good I was looking :-)

smashed it!

Wow, I weighed in at 14-1, or 197 lbs,well under 200:-) I am elated, the lightest I have been since starting this blog.
My dedication is solid this time,the death of my dear friend has inspired me like nothing ever could. I know he is looking down on me and smiling.

A nice walk today 7 miles

Quite shocked 😲 reading back on my blog that I was happy at my "regular " weight of 16-7. I am so happy to be in the low 14s,.I have got as low as my weight at the moment, but this time I am not going to give up. 5 days in on my #dryathelete :-)

Sunday 4 January 2015

Just Getting On With It.

Cycled the 20 miles (from my house) Fallowfield loop this morning, before work.
My official weigh in tomorrow, hope to be around 14-5 then I will be at my best weight pre Christmas.

I have also become a Dryathelete, which is a big challenge on my part. Tomorrow we are out watching our friends band in a pub near by.
my wife thinks it's the end of the world if I don't drink, but i am praying she see's that is not the case. I can be the designated driver, and people can donate to my just giving page !

Bring on 2015

Still doing great, been for a 3.5 mile walk in the rain today, back on my bike tomorrow.
I have also signed up for Dryathelete, much to my wife's dismay, , trying not to drink throughout January !
I have just discovered the forums on MFP (MyFitnessPal) very inspirational !
