Man in Red Hat Produces Realistic Finger-Painted Landscape at First Ascent?

I have to admit to struggling with dieting, fasting, etc….mainly just day to day living at the moment. This is muchly related to working full time, getting up at just past 0600h, shortening days, continuing damp in the flat and trying to fit possessions and a wood-work-shop into a small flat. Not to mention [but I’m about to!] trying to organise/plan what to eat and when…………….I need to sit back and think it through.

I don’t know what weight I am as I haven’t been to the gym for about 2 weeks and don’t run to scales [as Pavarotti said to his Personal Trainer?]. The flabby bits of Utterly Middlagedly Spread are still reducing, so I hope I’m doing OK. On the positive side, I’m loving having organic salad veg delivered every week…..I’m very impressed with Abel & Cole so far.

Watch this space!!

AND I’m now down to 89kg, so losing wait regularly/steadily.

A new Phone tomorrow….my First Smart Phone! [Scene – Christmas Morning. Cue: small boy enters Stage Left; fx Horse Galloping Goons-style; Child Screams with Joy; Applause]

This is to save money (current contract back to the full £25/month!) AND to have a better camera and try out sat-nav type maps, GPS, etc. Hopefully my videos will be better than this……

Knock, Knock. WHO’S THERE? Anchor. ANCHOR WHO? No, Anchor Watt, from Cambodia!

Fasting seems to work

Sunny Sunday. Another great day, in terms of weather. I’m hopeful that it will be a good day in terms of my internal weather…………

• Starting with thick fog in the low-lying areas plus a depression stuck over the littoral.
• This is a hang over from Hurricane Cider, now dying away in the North Atlantic.
• Good prospects of higher pressure and warm currants after tea (2 mugs and rising).
• Massage due at 1030h BST, visibility poor, but increasing with spectacle-wearing.
• Underlying Optimism following the Force 6 Interview on Friday.
• Risk of Precipitation should Optimism rise to a Force 8 Presumption.
• Feldenkrais due Monday afternoon. Improving body balance and posture likely.

Back to the fasting tomorrow. I need the focus – job interviews in London then Eastleigh made it difficult to plan and monitor what I ate. The downturn/recession yesterday [without the motivation of things to do] allowed my bingeing & alcoholic gremlins to get a grip.

The good news, yesterday, was that I was down to 90kg, so I need to remember the bigger picture – that this “diet” seems to be working. I’m certainly feeling better with both the weight dropping and muscles strengthening.
