I warn you now that today has not been my proudest day and I am a total plonker. Last night I watched this stupid television show called Man v Food. Now if you have not see this programme it is basically about a bloke going around America trying to eat the biggest things he can find including ridiculous sized burgers and sandwiches containing 4lb of Pork. I said to Mazza at the time I know I had a problem when the first thought it my mind was “mmmm I could just eat one of them”.

I got told off last night by Michelle Copp for not updating my blog often enough and I know she is right but I am just that bloody boring I have nothing exciting to tell you. Michelle apparently wants me to be naughty as she is a very bad girl and a bit of a babe to be honest, have you seen her new profile pic of her in that purple dress? She really is a hotty even though I know she does not believe it 99% of the time. This kinda brings me on to my next point about you women, why the hell do you all want to be skinny? Just stop it ok because none of us will ever look like those air brushed waifs in the magazines and I would choose a real woman with real curves any day of the week.

Well I had my first diabetic review yesterday and it all seemed to go ok, my blood levels are only just above normal but I need to get the weight off and lower my Cholesterol. My Cholesterol level was 6 which apparently is pretty average but because I am diabetic I need to get it down to about 4. The nurse ran through a lot of the potential risks of diabetes which is kinda scary as I guess I have not been taking it too seriously. I now have a small mountain of leaflets to read and need to have some more blood tests done. The only thing I don’t like is I need to go for regular eye tests, I have avoided the opticians for years as both my brother and sister are going blind and to be honest I just did not want to know if I have the same condition (what’s the point if there is no cure).

You will have noticed I have not updated for a few days but have no feat I have not given up already. Basically I am finding it really hard to do CD and get used to the Metformin at the same time. This week I started on two Metformin a day and they have really wiped out, they make me sick and give me a bad stomach which would be ok if I had something in my stomach but because I am on CD I have just ended up in so much pain its crazy. I have being a bit naughty though and ordered a load of fruit so at least I have something in my stomach and hopefully won’t do too much damage and I am feeling better already. Anyway Whinge over ……………… for today anyway and I promise to return tomorrow with something a lot more interesting!

Ooops less then a week back into my new blog and already missed a day but when you spend all day writing the last thing you want to do jot down a load of crap that will bore you all. Anyway today has been a bit of a mixed day, had a visit from my health trainer and he’s got me up and exercising (you may have felt some small tremors if you live locally). He has taught me some new exercises to use with my weights and reckons I will have arms like Arnie in no time; I was going to tell him my right arm is already half way there but after I caught him checking out my ample backside I was worried he might take it the wrong way ……………..or should that be the right way if that’s how he likes it? Anyway next week we are apparently going walking no matter what the weather is weather is doing, can’t say I am looking forward to that at all!

Hmmmm day four of the new blog and I have finally realised something ……………………. I really need to get a life lol How the hell am I supposed to write something original every day when all I do is sit on the sofa and watch TV. Over the past two days I have watched thirty episodes of Coach Trip on catch up TV which is not really a good use of my time. Anyway this is just a short one today (oooer matron) as I feel like crap and don’t want to sound like a whinging git

Day three in the big blubber household and not a lot to report really, still sticking to the shakes but feeling like crap, mouth tastes like Jesus’ sandals, head feels like I have the cast of River Dance doing rehearsals on my temples and three times today I thought I was going over; Who said the Cambridge Diet was easy? Oh it was Anne wasn’t it lol.

Well its day two of my all new blog and I am already at a loss as to what to write about. Sunday is a really weird day, it is supposed to be the day you have the big Sunday roast and all the trimmings but to be honest I have not done that since mom died six years ago, just don’t see the point when it’s just me but now I know I can’t have it I want it all the more (I guess that old rule applies to women and food).

Wow I cannot believe it has been nearly two years since I posted on here, I can’t believe I have spent so long faffing about making excuses to myself and everyone else when I should have been concentrating on important stuff like my health. It is so easy to fall into the trap of convincing yourself that you’re still on a diet when truth be told you are eating more crap then you ever did.

I must be getting old and senile because I forgot all about updating this place after yesterdays weigh in. I was really dreading it after the crap result time so was really bricking it all morning. Anyway I headed to the hospital at my usual time but instead of the usual five minute wait the place was packed and I was left to stew nervously for nearly an hour. Eventually I got called in, stepped on the scales and found out I had lost just over 13lb so have actually managed to reach my personal target of three stone in three months. I am happy about it but can’t help thinking it should be more lol
