I’m overweight. I’ve been overweight for about as long as I can remember now. I’m not obese, I’m just a little chunky around the waist, a little too much on the belly, and a smidgeon of a extra chin.

It bothers me. Not in a great big way. I don’t get depressed about it. I would just prefer to be a little less. I’m on the border where a little sustained excess makes me feel bad and a little sustained good eating and exercise makes me feel really good.

Over the years I’ve tried to get my weight down without much success. Over the last 18 months I have kept my weight consistent despite know that my eating/drinking habits have been poor. On the whole I have a good diet – I just tend to pick out on crap every now ( usually when work boredom kicks in ) and my portion control is real bad!

So I’m pretty sure that a better eating regime, less pigging out and bingeing, and more consistent exercise should easily allow me to achieve the required weight loss.

So the aim is to drop 2 stone over the next 6 months. That’s nearly 13kilos or 28lb or 13 bags of sugar!

At the start of this last week, I was 94kilo, 207lbs, 14 st 11 lbs. One week in I have dropped just over 3lbs… watch this space… or not…

When Victoria and I were in Italy last month, we walked past Noah
Wyle (Carter – ER ). He was stood back in a little booth in a side
street in Florence. He looked like he was sampling some drink or another,
a little at the back of a group of people, almost keeping in the shadows.
Anyway, as we walked past I pointed him out to Victoria with the very
enlightening, “Isn’t that thingy from ER…” to which she replied “Carter,
yes I think it is.”

Anyway, I was thinking about that this morning so did a quick Internet
search… I found a few stories that confirm that Mr Wyle and his family
were indeed in Italy the weekend before, in particular Rome (so there is
every possibility that they would have decided to take in Florence – it’s
only 180miles away, and not only that I found a picture of him in Rome
looking as he did when I saw him – same jacket etc…

The power of the internet…

…Today has been a slow news day…

I watched the season finale of The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night; what a blinder. Personally I think this show just gets better and better. If the stupid American Tv rating system means that it gets canned then I’m going to be really pissed!
