Time for an update.
I was going to write a really long post giving all the details of the kidney stone surgery but I’ve decided against it. I’m just going to give a quick overview so ……..

Success breeds success!
I’ve put on weight. There, I’ve said it. I’ve now faced up to it and I knew it was time to take it on again. Not a problem, done it before, just need to sort myself out and do something about it. So I talked to Darryl (my trainer) about it. We both know I […]

Why is it so difficult to eat what I want?
Eating at home is easy, so are packed lunches, but eating when I’m out and about’s a nightmare. “Why?” I hear you ask. Every town centre, shopping precinct, place of interest etc. is littered (ha ha) with places to eat.
