Now then - here's a thing. My weight was 222lb (I'll use lbs because us Brits can divide by 14 but I'm not sure about you yanks :-P ) This is pretty damned high because I am 5' 5" (Where d'ya think the gnome bit comes from?) and should be around 150. So 72lb to loose - Hell of a lot init! Anyway, back to the story. After the 6 or 7 weeks I was on a healthy lifestyle I went down to 205 - Great. Only 55lb to go (Bloody hell - Thats a 1/2 cwt!!!) I only weigh myself once a week btw - Sunday or Monday morning after my shower and when my eyes are working well enough to see the scales...

Last Sunday after 4 days of slipping into bad ways I was 210. Carried on with the bad ways till Friday and am now on day 3 of good stuff again. Weighed myself this morning and was 206:-) You know the old diet thing - If it goes off quickly it will come back on just as quick? Well, does this show that the reverse applies? If it goes on quickly it falls off again? Hmmm. Anyroads - another surprise.

Excercise. I thought I would go for a 10 minute jog(ish) this morning with a 15 minute walk back. Boy, am I glad I didn't! It was peeing down so I thought sod this for a game of soldiers. Excercise bike will do. Remember that 2 weeks ago I could cycle quite happily for 30 minutes either on the road or on the static one. When on the excercise one I can clock my heartrate as well and after 30 minutes of 20+mph I was rarely above 135bpm. This morning I was knackered after 10 minutes doing around 18mph and my heart was up to 160! Just shows how quickly you can loose that side of it as well - hopefully it will only take a couple of weeks to get back to before.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Cheers
