On the lack of weight loss updates

Published March 10, 2011

There is an old adage that no news is good news.

That is not always the case.

On the plus side, I have so far managed to keep to the weekly squash games with Dave, and in fact so far I'm rather enjoying them. I would play more, but it's not cheap (not expensive either, mind - the problem is compounding). And that assumes I could find the time, whereas right now it basically takes up all my Monday evening for a 45 minute game.

My basic failure has been a steadfast refusal to remain strong in the face of certain dominos.co.uk orders (Have you seen the "NUSEXTRA" voucher code?!?) and other cake like temptations. Bad robert!

I am eating less, but I'm not eating better. Nor am I getting the exercise that I hoped I would be at this point. I'm still struggling to be awake enough in the morning to not get back into bed and doze for another hour or so. On the plus side, there's a PureGym opening 5 minutes walk from the office in the next month or so - and I'm planning on joining there and forcing myself to go at least two evenings a week.

I've stopped putting everything I eat into MyFitnessPal, but that's mostly because I found myself choosing pre-packaged things that had a nice calorie count on the side. I was feeling really guilty if I was eating something and having to take educated guesses as the calorie count. It would, of course, be better to record something instead of nothing - so I need to try and get over that stumbling block sooner rather than later.

Obviously a pound a week is out the window, but I've not given up all hope yet. Consider this an admission of guilt and a refocusing of my efforts. If anyone from Dominos is reading this, please consider this ... not a goodbye, but more a "see you later" ... I've got some weight to lose.

Current Weight: 19 stone 1 pound (and a cheeky half) (aka 267.5 pounds)
