*Note. Firstly I’m glad to say I’ve got the blogging buzz back at the moment, so expect to see a bit more activity around here. However, for the next few weeks it’s very likely I will be talking about Politics a lot, seeing as it’s all I can think or talk about at the moment. [...]

Back when we first started this in January, my starting weight was just over 15 stone, and rather arbitrarily I decided that my target weight loss for the full year would be 3 stone, taking me to a far more svelte 12 stone.  This would put my BMI into the area of the chart that [...]

Amsterdam, Day Two

Travel 2 April 2010 | 1 Comment
