Some progress at last, despite a whole pot of cream
A bit of good news today. I went for my weekly weigh-in and found I’d lost 2 pounds. I’m now 18st 6lbs (again), which is 117.1kg and the lightest I’ve been (by a whole 0.3kg) since I started my weight loss program. I’m still a couple of kgs off where I’d like to be but I’ve made some progress at least.
Since the disappointment of Monday’s weight in I’ve been pretty healthy. Home made soup for lunch all week and fairly healthy evening meals. Well, the evening meals could have been a bit healthier (I made a lasagne last night and used a whole pot of cream in the béchamel sauce…), so there’s still room for improvement.
Tomorrow I’m at a wedding all day, but I’ll try not to get too drunk and I’ll try not to eat too much. Chances are I won’t eat anything, I’ll drink far too much, and my girlfriend will find me asleep in my own vomit under a hedge at about eight o’clock.
A few words on Happy Ending: I’m not sure it works posting little snippets of it as blog entries. A novel isn’t the type of thing you read in 500-word bursts, so publishing 500-word extracts of it on a blog isn’t likely to stir up much interest. That’s what I’m telling myself, anyway. It may well just be that what I’ve written is shit.
But regardless, I will keep on writing it, and will occasionally post bits of it. They’ll probably be slightly bigger chunks than the last couple of instalments, and I’ll try to make sure they’re chunks of which I’m particularly proud.
Be good.
