Spent all day in bed watching wrestling. About to re-shave my head, dye one of my t-shirts and head to the shop to get something for dinner. Then meeting a ladyfriend for pints later and she's paying me into see Kataklysm, Krisiun and Fleshgod Apocalypse :)

Had normal poops today for the first time in three months. And all I've eaten is cake and biscuits. :3

Good lord, after being engaged for a thousand years and then having a load of kids (two), it looks like my uncle has actually set a date for the wedding this spring. I will have to buy a frock. (And yay, it doesn't have to a bridesmaid one this time round!)

Sat down with a mate who was a professional Olympic swimmer and worked out a plan for the new year (designed to make most of time, ie not just 2 hours of lengths). I was really dubious at first as 45 mins never feels like much of a work out, but stuck with it 100% and trusted him 100% and 2 weeks in and I have lost 21ibs (52 in total since October). Going to grab a coffee with him later and work out the timetable for the next 2 weeks and I am so excited and motivated.

Good to hear! When you start involving the clock and timing your lengths, it gives you something to work towards!
