Weather

It’s a bit damp…

Thursday, 28th July 2005 10:58 pm

This morning’s weight was down a wee bit to 199.2 pounds (14 stone 3.2 pounds, 90.4kg).

The lovely summer weather is, well, somewhat absent at present. It’s been raining a lot here, and apparently there was a tornado in Birmingham :eek2:

Off to London tomorrow for another weekend’s work, and I’ll be staying there until Tuesday.

Who ordered rain?

Just a slight change on the weight front this morning - up slightly to 198.4 pounds (14 stone 2.4 pounds, 90.0kg). Getting (and staying) below 90kg seems like a good interim target (even though I don’t really do targets as such). Then the next psychologicackle hurdle[1] thingy is to get (and stay) below the 14 stone (196 pounds, 89.9kg) mark. That would be good. And it’s beginning to look achievable, too.

And there was a slight change in the weather today, too. After several days of clear skies, bright sunshine and high temperatures, it rained a bit today. And you can guess who got a wee bit damp[2] at lunchtime. But it was still warm enough that getting back to the office with a saturated shirt wasn’t really a problem.

[1] I don’t really follow all these sports metaphors :rolleyes
[2] Or “soaked” as less resilient people might put it :lol:

Not sure what’s happenning here…

…but I seem to be making some progress. This morning’s weight was down to 198.0 pounds (14 stone 2 pounds, 89.8kg). That’s equal to the lowest weight I recorded last year, which is good going. It’s also about 10 pounds less than I weighed at the beginning of this year.

I must have been inspired by that, or something, because I got on the exercise bike for the usual 10km, which got my heart rate up to a quite serious 151.

It’s been a warm sunny day, so the walk to and from work was very pleasant.

Just before I sign off…

This morning’s weight figure was an exciting 201.2 pounds (14 stone 5.2 pounds, 91.3kg).

I might manage a quick weight report before I leave tomorrow, but chances are I won’t get round to it. :roll2:

For the next week, Losing it[1] will be in Amsterdam. If I get it together in between all the heavy techie stuff, I’ll try to take some pictures and make a few reports. :yes:

It’s been another warm day here. Not sure how it’ll be in Amsterdam, though. Good enough for me to have a nice walk or two around the city, I hope :cool:

Back on track…

…even though I haven’t been on a train today :smile: This morning’s weight was down quite noticably to 200.2 pounds (14 stone 4.2 pounds, 90.8kg).

Today was warm and sunny, so the walk to and from work was very nice[1]. And the extra walk to Tesco’s to do the shopping I would have done on Saturday if I hadn’t been working in Manchester wasn’t bad either.

[1] Listening to Madness on the MP3 player worked nicely for that

Levelling off, or something

Thursday, 23rd June 2005 10:07 pm

No change on the weight front this morning - still at 201.0 pounds (14 stone 5 pounds, 91.2kg), which is acceptable for now.

It’s been another warm and sunny day, without the grey start that we had the last couple of days, which made the walk to and from work a lot more pleasant. But the weather is likely to change in the next couple of days, as there’s a traditional rain-making ritual going on in another part of the country. Mutter.

Don’t expect a lot of activity here for the next few days - I’ll be working in Manchester this weekend, and I probably won’t have time to post anything. And you’ll have to wait till Monday for the next enthralling Losing it[1] weight report. I do hope that won’t be too disappointing for you. :laugh

No real change

Tuesday, 21st June 2005 8:34 pm

This morning’s weight was down a whisker to 202.2 pounds (14 stone 6.2 pounds, 91.7kg).

Did another 10km on the exercise bike, with a peak heart rate of 140, which is probably due to it being a bit warm this evening. Talking of the weather, I thought the summer was over when I got up this morning. It was damp, overcast and generally not very nice. But by lunchtime[1] it had cleared up, sun shining, and all that kind of thing. The walk home was very pleasant, too. :smile:

[1] A rather nice item from those Subway people.

Various variations

Thursday, 19th May 2005 10:11 pm

Another slight weight drop this morning to 202.4 pounds (14 stone 6.4 pounds, 91.8kg). More of a random variation wossname thingy[1] than a real drop, but it’ll do.

Shock, horror, etc, I actually got the bus to work this morning. It was raining[2] and I just couldn’t be bothered. The weather brightened up later, so walking home was actually quite pleasant. I still haven’t quite got it together to do any more serious exercise, though. :rolleyes

[1] Technical expression :P
[2] Though not heavily, I’ve walked in worse

Must do better

Tuesday, 17th May 2005 9:43 pm

A nice little drop in my weight today - 203.8 pounds (14 stone 7.8 pounds, 92.4kg). Still not feeling motivated enough to do any serious exercise, but at least I’m still walking to and from work. Got home just in time to miss some seriously heavy rain. That would have made my walk home a wee bit soggy…

Another oscillation

Saturday, 16th April 2005 11:28 pm

Gosh, isn’t this exciting? Back up a wee bit this morning to 203.6 pounds (14 stone 7.6 pounds, 92.4kg).

But at least the rain seems to have stopped.
