The First Saturday

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

222lb

Had bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast. Plenty of tea as usual. Still given up on too much coffee right now, as this particular tea is real easy on my stomach.

Emptied my Inbox, which is always a good feeling

A quiet afternoon so far.

At 6pm the mercury reads 37F; the forecast overnight is a low of 21F. I’m not impressed.

One good thing. Although the cold doesn’t really keep me in, if I need to go out, it’s not the weather for a nice stroll around downtown either. One consequence of the cold weather is that we’re spending less money. That’s osmething we’re trying to do in any case, as part of Frugality 2010. (What’s Frugality 2010, you ask – I just made it up).

A cold morning outside

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

223 lbs. Well, it’s in the right direction.

Freezing cold outside this morning.

Another Day

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Waded through email. Had cheese sandwiches for breakfast/lunch – wholemeal bread though.

Had some almonds for a mid afternoon snack.

Made pork chops, roast potatoes (in skins), with rutabaga, and cabbage for dinner.

Birthday

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

So I had bacon and egg for breakfast, which was nearer lunchtime.

Then I had a ribeye steak at Longhorn for dinner, with some asparagus, and mashed potato. Washed down with 2 32 ounce glasses of Sam Adams Boston Lager.

No starter, no dessert.

First Of The Year

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Weight 224lb. That’s 16 stone. Goal is to get down to 12 stones, which is 168lb, so lets call it 170lb.

Started off the day with a bowl of Shredded Wheat and a cup of Red Rose Tea.

My main lacking is I don’t do any exercise, so I should go out and walk at least 30 minutes each day.
