For the most part I’ve been taking December as a ‘month off the Internet’, save for the occasional pop round the door of Twitter or Facebook to say hello, or tell crap jokes which then get ignored or scorned upon. It’s been refreshing, and I’m not really sure how much I’ve really missed it, but [...]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I don’t think it will be a huge shock to anyone who is still reading this, but the whole Year of Health has run entirely out of steam, and the experiment is over. The time has come to admit defeat. Sad but true. Over the weekend Ellen and I finally admitted the truth to each [...]
I’m not going to sugar coat it. It’s all gone a bit wrong. Since moving into the new house my seemingly temporary blip has turned into a full blown collapse. In the last month I have put back on 6 pounds, and have spent most of my days eating ridiculous amounts of chocolate at work [...]
Well I’ve been exercising for nearly a week now, and I think it’s starting to have an effect. I’ve started off slowly. On the first day I did 25 sit ups and 10 push ups (proper ones mind, not silly little ones that involve your knees) and I’ve been slowly increasing it so now I [...]
I’ve been on the nicotine patches now for 20 days and the good news is that they are really working. Day 20 and I’ve not been tempted once. Not a singe cigarette. Tomorrow will mark three whole weeks, and from that point on I know it’s going to get much much easier. There is one downside to [...]
Day one wasn’t too bad for the smoking side of things. More than anything I found the main problem was when my brain told me that I should be going for a cigarette, and there was a split second or two when my conscious self went ‘ooh, good idea.’ But the nicotine cravings weren’t too [...]
So first of all, a very happy new year to you all. Last night was a pretty low key affair, seeing as Ellen was working until 10 at night and then started at 8 this morning, so we made do with a bottle of wine and the car crash of entertainment that was Jools Holland’s [...]
So it has begun. I spent a lot of time with Paul over the last week in preparation for today and I’m really glad we can finally put our plans into action. We have brought a couple of really good low fat cook-books to base a lot of our evening meals around and we have [...]
So we’re only four days away from the big push and all of a sudden it’s starting to feel very real indeed. The good thing about starting in the New Year is that it comes on the back of the excesses of Christmas, and make no mistake we’ve been doing the excess part very heavily [...]
