Jogging!!!!!

5th weigh in - Day 43 - 16 st 9lbs - 105kg

Have heard from the gym about the referral scheme so should be starting some serious gym sessions within a couple of weeks. In the meantime I have started doing a morning jog with the dogs. Only about half a mile, but a start.

I haven't lost as much this week but a respectable amount nonetheless and it is also probably due to the increased calories from adding the tuna and from doing some exercise and building muscle. It has also only been 6 days between this and the last weigh in.

I had all my measurements taken today which I hadn't been keeping track of since I started but they are also pretty impressive:-

Measurements at start of diet (inches)
Waist - 48.5
Hips - 47.5
Chest - 50
Arms - 16
Thighs - 21.5

Measurements at 5th weigh in, Day 43
Waist - 44
Hips - 44.5
Chest - 42
Arms - 13.5
Thighs - 21

So my manboobs have taken a real hammering.

Some Real Food

Day 37 - 4th weigh in - 16st 12lbs - 107kg.

Have added in a "meal" (80g tuna + a stick of celery) per day for this week then back to just dust bars/shakes.

Still waiting for the paperwork to go through from the GP for the gym - it would probably have been simpler just to join. Had a free session yesterday doing a half hour on the bike.

Flab bags

Day 29 - 3rd Weigh in - 17st 2 lbs - 108kg

I need to start toning up, otherwise I could be left with flaps of extra skin, so I intend to join the local gym this week. Apparently the Dr can prescribe gym membership so might test that out tomorrow.

Too many books/movies, never enough time

I have a huge mountain of books to read but keep finding more I want to read, so most end up added to the heap as I keep getting books from the library as well and prioritise reading those before I take one from the stockpile. I've got six from the library at the moment that I am working through.

I am reading a couple of post apocalypse books at the moment, The Gone away World by Nick Harkaway which is a slow read but good in its rather weird way. Also Plague Year by Jeff Carlson, nice and topical with a man made plague involving nanobots.

I have been watching a lot of movies on Tudou - no wonder my local DVD rental store has closed.

The weight continues to fall off me rapidly. Had my second weigh in today. The details are:-

start weight - 19st 10lbs - 125kg
Day 12 - 1st weigh in - 18st 9lbs - 118kg
Day 22 - 2nd weigh in - 17st 11lbs - 112kg
