Well and truly cream crackered...

Finished work after being in a 3 hour, well 6 day argument with an offshore team who are now effectively arguing against the advice they gave us previously, sigh...

Anyway off to swimming - 42 lengths in 45 minutes not bad, skipped the gym as it was stacked tonight and I'd done sit ups and swimming and needed to do the weeks shopping. Picked up a couple of cushions for the lounge as well.

Back cooked dinner put the shopping away and fed bft and finally collapsed in a big heap, arms verrrry tired.

W emailed about some ebooks she was after from our book server but nothing else, working tomorrow then off for 6 days yaaay.

Tired tonight but feel quite positive but thats the exercise for you, that and delerium probably diet is going well but was an challenge today, ate last at 10 last night then not again until 8:45 tonight after a lot of exercise but made it and had the option for cake tonight mmm bakewell tart!

Thanks for your post toots.

Yes its sometimes frustrating, a while back I was trying to judge was w getting to a stage where r talk could be phased in from semi lrt / detatchment.

I've raised and we've sort of disussed dating and brushed past the relationship with non commital response from w but no firm direction.

If w is being forthright (and I'm on semi dodgy ground here due to "thing") she's not dating nor is she wanting to, neither am I.

Do i want someone in my life, a female friend to share time with, yes not more though, not yet. But not right now, too much confusion potentially possible so for now no... Unless you fancy dinner if you're passing down in Dorset toots

I guess this is where the time and patience really come in. And those are the things which can be so difficult, but which bring more change than anything.

Dinner invite - lovely! But who knows Edz, GG may already be on a plane heading your way!!

Morning all

Maybe toots, nothing on her thread for a while (think its rather a long way though lol)

Im quite chilled today V, well offshore are pushing up my blood pressure with very poor admin and communications but nothing new for them. No movement on the w front, just letting it go for now all I can do really.

When I can get away from my desk for 5 minutes I'll get some coffee and then can update properly!

[edz]

Ah Coffee!

So this morning, well not much to report had trouble getting off to sleep last night, checked in but most of you good people either had stuff to do or were away in the land of nod so put some music on and read, eventually dropped off about 1:45 to be rudely woken by the alarm again this morning.

40 reps on the trunk this morning which was...interesting....after swimming last night but managed it then shower and toddled to work.

As I mentioned nothing from w today so far, being wed she's off with s to skating probably, work today then the delights of housework and dinner before sofa and throw. Tomorrow picking s up about 10 and then haircut time before it gets unmanageable again.

So all in all just another normal one so far.

Well just did the measuring waist I've been putting off.

Since July 2014 my waist size has now dropped by 9 inches.

This tells me three things

1. I was huuuuge
2. I still have 4 inches to go to hit my pre-married size
3. Mens trousres vanity sizing is a mine field with some saying what they mean and others being wildly optimistic.

Measured the trousers I was in in July and they are nearly 5 inches bigger than the label said. The ones im in now are maybe 2 inches bigger but are baggy thank the flying spaghetti monster.

So somethings been working. Set myself a goal of July to hit target size and fitness so, so far at least, on target. Not the massive, fast loss I did in my 20s (that was a massive weight loss but was all around mothers death/giving up horrendous bad habbits etc - I dont have those habbits so theres no "easy" options to take).

Keep on swimming as Dorey said..

congrats mate

Well Edz (or should I call you Slim Jim now?) That all sounds very impressive - and very successful in terms of becoming the man you want to be - either for your W, or some other lovely lady to enjoy..

Plus, a great move in terms of your wellbeing. Maybe you can outrun S now?

[edz]

Thanks Toots, I feel a lot better and am healthier generally (despite a run of bad luck with food poinsoning and then the flu bug).

No, S can outrun me, cant do much about an old leg injury from my teens! I can keep up with him longer though

I want to get to my pre-married weight or a little better (supposedly waist 46% of height which in my case is 34-35") I was obviously a lot bigger than that but if I can keep up the exercise etc should hit that in 2-3 months ready for summer. Still want to be in better shape but thats getting easier now im lugging less of, well, me about!

Interestingly w hasnt mentioned anything about my weight at all thinking about it. Not reading anything into that though. 50% of what's said and all...
