It’s been a while. As previously noted, much of the progress
originally made was, um, un-made. I think I may be getting calorie intake under
control again. What’s annoying is that I don’t actually like food all that
much. I guess if I did, I could probably make eating less a bit more
interesting, but as it is, I just end up not bothering to eat properly. I
swear, if I didn’t have kids to try to set a good example for and a wife to
guide me in setting that example, I’d probably be ten-tonne-Tessa-from-Texas by
now. Another way in which my wife has saved my life.
It has, however, been too long since I stopped my regular
exercise routine. New responsibilities at work tend to leave me less time, but
I hope I can start going swimming at lunch times again. I went recently for the
first time in ages. It’s basically whatever comes first – 30 minutes or 60
lengths (calm yourself, this is not exactly a full-length pool we’re talking
about here). Previously I was making 60 lengths in less than 25 minutes and was
considering going to 70. This time, I made the 60 with just a few minutes to spare
and the last 15 damn near killed me. So, some ground to make up there.
