Good evening folks. I’m sorry that it’s been a while since the last update. I’ve had a few things happen since the trip to Tenby.

I’m not sure that I had covid again after my weekend away but I felt absolutely rotten for well over a week after seeing Skindred.

I missed out on Slimming World that week as I was just not right so best not to infect anyone there with my lurgy. I didn’t weigh and I felt that I may have done a bit too much damage while I was away.

So roll on a week later. I’m feeling better after my week off. I’d not been swimming that week as I’d probably have drowned.

I managed to get to weigh in on Thursday week but I wasn’t staying around. I did manage a maintain that week so I was quite happy with that as I’d not been good with my food and I’d hardly been anywhere.

I didn’t stay to group as Alex had come down from Scotland for the weekend and I was keen to go and see her.

We met up in a rather wet Caerphilly and had a lovely meal to start a fantastic weekend.

We had a good few beers on Friday and we had a magnificent curry in Mowgli. That was the site of our first “date” in 2023.

We headed back over to Fuel but didn’t stay long. I must admit to feeling quite out of place there as their clientelle has really changed from when we first started going. I think I may be feeling a little too old for Fuel now.

Saturday was Gig day. Alex went to see Marilyn Manson in the Utilita Arena. I went over to The Great Hall at the Students Union to see the incredible Cardinal Black.

A few hours later, we met back up at Fuel Rock Club and I must admit that I did feel much better about it. I think there were a few more people there that I knew so things were a bit more familiar.

Sunday was a bit of a lazy day. I dropped Alex back to Caerphilly in the afternoon. I did stay for a few hours but must admit that they decided to watch The Ed Gein series on Netflix.

I had to do something good last week in order to get anywhere close to plan. I had a good couple of days on Monday and Tuesday. I went for two swims this week. Once on Monday evening and then again on Wednesdat

The tale of the scale.

So, the graph is back on it’s way down. I lost a pound last week and that’s not fantastic but it’s better than nothing.

I’m off to Germany in a few weeks so I need to concentrate on losing a few more pounds before I go. That may help me with a bit of extra comfort on the flight.

Next time

I’ve got a quiet couple of weekends coming up so that will be better for the plan. I’m going to try and keep up with the swimming and will go again on Monday and next Wednesday.

My car is in for its MOT this week so hopefully it will pass and I won’t have to fork out too much to get it through.
