My suspicions were first aroused when after unpacking my clothes in the new house I found that some garments had obviously shrunk en route, then several months later in preparation for teaching I unpacked my smarter teaching stuff all of which failed to meet around the middle apart from one pair of trousers!
I weighed myself a couple of times expecting a "one at a time!" response from the digital scales. Luckily in a measure of self protection my memory had erased all recollection of my previous weights and so all didn't seem too bad - until today that is! I managed to find some of my "over the top fanatical fitness records" and discovered the horrible truth in the last 19 months I have piled on an amazing 15Kg! ... to think that I comment on how heavy Alfie is when actually I'm carrying two of him mostly around the middle!
I have put this crash weight gain down to the following factors (excuses!):
#1 Yes you Alfie... there aren't as many hours in the day as there used to be!
#2 Too much time sat on this bashing a laptop...
#3 Three months spent working away from home in Oxford while manager of the Hamilton Trust. On the "Corner Shop Co-op Diet" - Ready meals, Snikers, pre-packed, sandwiches, office cakes and lager!
#4 Ah... for the love of Tooheys New! Trouble is I love it a little too much...
#5 Yup the good ole Aussie BBQ...
You'll note that none of this is my fault, but I can do something about it. Hopefully by getting on here and letting you know how I'm going will keep me motivated!
I have worked out the last three days and watched what I've eaten (... and drunk!) so results should appear soon. ;0)
