I called this blog “the ramblings of an obsessive man. My mum couldn’t understand that. “you’re not obsessive” she said. As if to prove my point, here is another weight related post. The software that I use to track calorie consumption and weight has a graph that shows where your weight is and where you [...]

It’s official. I’m now a stone lighter than I was 6 months ago. Only another two and a half stone to go and I’ll be where I want to be. A big reason for the increasing loss is the amount of exercise I’m doing. Did another 9 1/2 mile run yesterday, my last training run [...]

…. that’s a total of 11 lbs this year so far, and 7 of that in the last month. I would have been hugely disappointed if I hadn’t lost much, the amount of exercise I’ve been doing. The chart shows my exercise for the month as plotted on Mapmyrun. That is a total of 18,239 [...]

My kids (bless em) used to use my stomach overhang as an indicator of how overweight I was. Well I have been dieting again and exercising more and i know that the weight is starting to fall off.  I can also see that the stomach overhang is getting smaller, so I must be losing it.

The cut off point for obesity is 30. I come in at 29.9. Hurrah, I’m not obese – but if i’d calculated it last week i could well have been. I’m not bothered though.  I know that the using BMI as a calculation of obesity is flawed. I am reasonably fit and can run for [...]

Had a great run this morning. It’s nice to get back out into the forest again in the morning. Now that the mornings are getting lighter I can see where I am going. Always a bonus.  It was a morning of layers, layers of clothing to ward off the nip in the air and layers [...]

Had lunch which consisted of a jacket potato with a 3 bean chili, along with a pint of beer. We went to Goblets wine bar in Southampton. Very reasonably priced very good food. On the way back I waivered. I was going to buy a cake but remembered my promise from earlier. Then I was [...]

I didn’t need a maple and pecan danish for my breakfast yesterday but I felt a pull towards the bakers when I went down to move the car. I was too weak to resist the pull. I also didn’t need the vanilla slice I had at lunchtime. For those who don’t know what a vanilla [...]

… in order to hit my target weight of less than 12 stone (168 lbs) by Christmas, my diet program, Diet and Exercise assistant, desktop has calculated that I need to eat 646 calories less per day than I burn. Easily achievable I think. Now yesterday I went to the Gym in the morning and [...]

The surprise was that I ate fewer calories than I burnt yesterday. And that’s even despite my son serving strudel for desert. Here’s my summary for the day
