Bawling my eyes out. I’ve had some nasty news this week that has thrown me bandy over the last couple of days. An old friend passed away yesterday and it’s hit me hard. While we’d not seen each other for a few years, it was a massive shock and it’s going to get some time to get over.

So I wasn’t expecting anything to happen at Slimming World today. I’m a day early as I’m off to enjoy the finest in Motor Racing at Silverstone tomorrow. After this weekend’s debauchery which included copious amounts of beer, a Wok to Walk takeaway and a pack of chips and curry sauce, I lost 5 and a half pounds. There’s much to be said for the “Slimming World Woosh”. So I’m now at 51.5lbs lost. When I look back at how much that actually is then I don’t think that I could even pick that up, let alone carry it around with me for years on end.

I hope that this weekend will let me take my mind off things and that I will get back to my first love of Formula One. Lot’s of walking, lot’s of noise and lot’s of fun times. Can Lewis take another win?
