Now The Carnival Is Over !

And we are back from Turkey with a bump! I was fading in energy come midnight, which was causing some friction with the boss, as well as really bad diarrhea and sickness for both our daughters, then the trots got me. I hardly ate anything for the last three days, and my last visit to the toilet before leaving for the airport was 80% blood, which was a tad scary, I have never done that before !
As soon as we got back home, we both weighed ourselves , and are not happy !
I am now 16.7.5 and need to do something about it. Since returning, my appetite has not returned fully,and I am taking advantage of this. I have installed my fitness pal on my phone again (9.5 lbs heavier than last time I used it ) and so am tracking every calorie I eat and drink.
When I go to work now, I am taking water instead of juice.
I am going back to basic calorie counting, it worked for me once, so can again !
I have also discovered that my gym membership that I thought had been cancelled has not been, so will be heading back there soon, as time permits .

Walking

I had a nice walk yesterday, in the snow in My Native Hadfield.

I was distraught to see this



This is The Masons Arms, rumoured to be turned into a Tesco Express Store.

In this pub the first two of my serious relationships started.
My first love sent a messenger down to get me from the pub, about 9 months after asking her out,to tell me that she loved me one night.

Then on my 21st birthday in the same pub I told my ex girlfriend who was now with my best friend that I still loved her. She told me that was tough, but within 5 months we were back together, and married within the year, so you can see, this place was special to me. i lost my 2 front teeth after sinking tons of pernod in there, just after I had turned 18 !!


Here is the video to my walk Walkies

Elsewhere, It's only 5 weeks to our holidays, and we are getting giddy now !

The First Day Of Spring

Still here, still working, our holiday is only 7 weeks away now, so it's getting better.
We have scaffolding up at the side of the house, we are finally getting our roof and gable end sorted !

We went out the other night, to support a few friends that were working at the Apethorn pub in Hyde.

Life Goes On

Still kicking ! Just finished our week off, started quietly , then our day out on Thursday was a blast, and then the wedding of a good friend of ours on Saturday, It was the most amazing wedding we have ever been too, and must of cost a fortune. It's location however is another story.
We had never been to Chorley, and were amazed by the number of roundabouts and one way systems, it's a nightmare ! Couple this with the fact there are only 2 taxi firms, and the one we waited nearly an hour for only had 5 cars on the road, on a Saturday night ! It made us realise just what a good taxi setup we have here in Tameside.
I have applied for another inspectors job, still waiting for a yes or no to see if I get an interview.
I have sold the focus, managed to pay our holiday off, and bought a little 125 Yamaha scooter, which is a lot of fun !
Here we are waiting for the Taxi !

My Day


Has gone really well, here are 2 pictures from it ! 

Looking Good

Well I had a quick weigh in this morning at 4 am , and I now weigh 15.9.75 so thats two and a quarter off since Monday !
No alcohol this weekend as the boss is working, so should be ok for the next week or so !
The weather is still really cold, but dry, but snow is forecast for tomorrow, then the temp should go way up, and get rid of all the ice.

Angie is still doing well too, and we are both really looking forward to our holiday !

Still Going

And me and Angie have decided to try and lose a few pounds before our holiday in May .
I am using a free app, myfitnesspal, which is available on both IOS and Android. It counts calories, and can read bar codes. I am allowed 1440 a day, which is basically what i did in 1991 when I got to 10 - 7.
Today is our second day, and so far so good !

I am totally in love with my new 3D video, and I am trying to sell my Sony PJ10 and 3D Bloggie, to put towards my latest gadget, a Sony TD20. I hope to have this for our holiday, fingers crossed .
