lose a stone

I’ve managed to achieve this, but I’m not going to mark this as “done” yet.
Once again, I got rather ill and lost all appetite. This time I can blame the Norovirus for my troubles/success. I can recommend this path to nobody.

I will tick this item off my list if I can keep at this weight for a month.

This morning I weighed in at 12 stone 3 lbs, so close to my goal of 12 stone.

I managed to lose half a stone a month or two ago by dint of getting ill and losing all appetite. But I’ve managed to sustain this with jogging every other day. Tools such as the Facebook Fit-ify app have helped urge me on too. But I should also mention my wife Kathy, who’s supported me all the way, even when I’ve been mooching in the rain and desperate for chips, pizza and curry!

Once I reach 12 stone, I’ll need another goal to get into my ideal BMI range!

After fiddling with various online tools and games (twye, hundred pushups etc.) I’ve finally managed to lose nearly half a stone.

The trick? Get ill for over a week with a nasty cold, lose all appetite and watch those pounds slip away. Of course the real trick is to build on those disturbing foundations and as a first step I spent all day cutting down trees…
