Silk sheets and baby oil!!!!

Disappointed but not surprised to see that I have put on 4 lbs and am now at 12st 2lbs. Oh well..

You have to burn 3,500 cals more than you take in to lose a single pound in weight. A freaking McDonalds meal is way in excess of 1,000 cals. 4 rashers of fried bacon are 500 cals. Seems like a hiding to nothing when you look at it like that!!!

Went out for a sexy three mile run today, doorstep to doorstep, so no carbon footprint by not having to drive somewhere, then run. That in itself is a ball-ache. What I need is no blocks. Running 5 miles also causes a huge block due to the massive amount of energy required to do it. So 3 miles every day now until I am firmly under the 12 stone mark again, and running at less than 8 minutes per mile.

Another pretty sleepless night last night. We put the silk sheets and duvet on and it is like trying to sleep in a vat of Johnson's Baby Oil. Lovely texture but by Christ, everything is slipping and sliding around like nobody's business. Eventually I wrapped myself in my (our) comfort blanket and kipped on the sofa. Could simply bear it no longer. This was at about 2.30 in the morning..

Kerrie has me on strict alcohol rationing at the moment. Trying to stop the massive calorie intake, but then comes round with a bottle of wine and marks on the bottle where I can drink to (like one large glass!!!!). I am sure it is character building or something like. Bless..

We watched The 40 Year Old Virgin last night on DVD. Strange film, quite funny in places but totally stupid overall. Today was spent pottering really. Had an hour meeting at 8:30 this morning and the rest of the day was mine to do whatever. As is tomorrow.

Right, Corrie double-bill is on in a minute, Kez is tucked up at her parents trying to catch up on some sleep and shake off a cold that seems to have afflicted her this weekend, I have sneaked in a bottle of wine and a monster packet of Doritos, so time to chill, catch Top Gear repeat on Dave, and hope that I get a full night's kip that will bring me back to full strength tomorrow.

Until then...
