Today’s Walk - The Map

This is a static Google map showing the route I took on today’s lunchtime photo walk. It’s a bit out of date, as some of the buildings I saw hadn’t even been started when the map data was last updated. Still, it’s better than the previous version, which had a big gap where the Sage [...]

Weight Report - 7 May 2008

Oooh! Another quite impressive drop today.
It was another warm and sunny day, and I walked to work without needing to bully myself at all, which is just as well, as I don’t respond well to that sort of thing. At lunchtime I had a moderately long walk, which involved having a close look at the [...]

Weight Report - 2 March 2008

Oh what fun - another weekend variation. Yes, I’m a whole pound heavier today than I was yesterday. Shock, horror, sensation, etc.
On the positive side, I did manage a wee bit of exercise today - I moved the slightly big, awkward and heavy bits of exercise equipment that I don’t seem to use any more [...]

Weight Report - 13 February 2008

Hmmm. A slight rise today, but not enough to alarm me. I didn’t get out in time to walk to work[1], but I did take a walk across the river to the Sage[2], which involved enough steps and hills to be equivalent to a walk to work. Not only that, but I walked home as [...]

2007 Round-up

Well, having rounded up the month, I thought I might as well round up the year too.
Weight
At the end of last year, I was somewhat despondent about my negative weight loss. I managed an overall gain of about twelve pounds in 2006, which was a Very Bad Thing indeed.
This year has been a bit [...]

December Weight round-up

I’ve still managed to hang on to some vestige of a plot, so here’s this month’s round-up, which is becoming a regular feature.
Weight
December 1: 216.0 pounds (15 stone 6.0 pounds, 98.0kg)
December 31: 215.2 pounds (15 stone 5.2 pounds, 97.6kg)
Difference: 0.8 pounds (0.4kg), which is not very good at all. On the other hand, if I [...]

Weight Report

Well, it seems that yesterday’s mutterings about random fluctuations were a little premature. Today’s weight is actually even lower than yesterday’s. Woo hoo, etc.
I walked to work again, and despite having two bags to bring home, I walked back and even took some photographs on the way. Which means I’m either dedicated or crazy. Or [...]

November round-up

Well, it seems that I haven’t quite lost the plot, so here’s the November round-up that I promised last month.
Weight
November 1: 219.2 pounds (15 stone 9.2 pounds, 99.4kg)
November 30: 216.2 pounds (15 stone 6.2 pounds, 98.1kg)
Difference: 3 pounds (1.4kg)
Less than one pound a week, which isn’t as good as last month, but it’s the first [...]

Another good start to the week

Today’s weight is down a wee bit on yesterday’s, but more importantly is down quite a big bit on last Monday’s. That’s quite an encouraging start to the week.[1]
I walked to work, had a photographic wander at lunchtime[2], but got the bus home as I had to work late[3].
[1] By the way, if you’re reading [...]

Day trip report

As I mentioned earlier, I went to London today. I had to catch the 6:30 train to make sure I could get where I was going on time. Now that’s a bit of a problem, because public transport is a bit awkward at that time of the morning. There is a bus which would get [...]
