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. Let’s take Lakeside Shopping Centre as an example (other shopping centres are available) http://www.lakeside.uk.com/Dining/Food-court Loads […]
