Pleasantly Surprised

Got up about 8 today I decided today was the day to weigh myself, I set the scales ready to see how much weight I have put on since no cycling and eating loads of crap. Well I must say I was shocked my weight was

11 stone 4 Pounds or in "new money"

72.1 Kilo's
Pleasantly surprised

I had been about 11 stone a little while ago but my weight went up to 11st 7lbs but had managed to get it back down. When I left Royal Mail back in August 2007 I weighed nearly 13 Stone, but it took a blood test, scare of a threat of Diabetes to change my eating habits, but of late since the accident old habits have come back and bitten me on the Arse.

Had oats so simple for Breakfast normally have porridge but can't at the moment because you have to keep stirring it so that is a no no at the moment.

Got the bus to Croydon, went into the Barbers to have my barnet cut hooray am happy about that.

I went to meet Tammi for lunch, We both had chicken and Mushroom risotto it was lovely, we ate here the food is always nice, as some of you are aware Tammi is my eldest Daughter from a previous relationship if you haven't read the blog entry how we were reunited the link is here spent a nice couple of hours with her.

Had really good day, here is the proof that my barnet is back to normal well my normal.I think I almost look Human now maybe that is stretching a point.

My trip to Aldi via the Polling Station and a Rant

Got up this morning just after 8, had some toast got showered and dressed ready for my trip to Aldi.

My first port of call was the Polling Station now whatever you think about politicians I am sure you have all got your own opinions, but I do believe that everyone should go and register there vote even if you only write across the ballot paper its all bollocks.

I had planned to walk from the Polling Station to Thornton Heath Pond (THP) A distance probably about two miles I guess but as I walked up the road I saw a bus so the laziness in me took over so I took the bus to THP, to catch a bus to Selsdon for my nearest branch of Aldi I purchased

Cycle Mitts,

Sports Glasses,

Ultra light Cycling Jacket

I got the bus back to THP but this time there was no laziness and I walked the two miles or so home.

I saw four different cyclist this morning who were basically kitted out well Helmet included but each one of them in there own way seemed to be taking there lives in there hands

First a man on a full suspension Mountain bike cycled straight of the pavement between a van and a car straight onto the road without a care in the world

Second a woman with ipod on cycled straight out onto a roundabout without looking

Third a woman cycled straight through a red light where there was quite a few pedestrians crossing like it is OK to do that

Fourth a man cycled straight of the pavement without appearing to look straight across to the road opposite

Now whether I noticed this because I am jealous of them on there Bikes or because I am thinking look what happened to me through no fault of my own and they got away with it cycling like idiots. Anyway rant over.

Have decided will weigh myself in the morning, now there's a scary thought

Me Kitted out don't know about the legs lol,barnet definitely needs cutting badly, look no slings but still need them though.

Just for you Clive

Injuries Update

Am getting more movement out of my arms but yesterday my right Elbow was aching quite a lot, I think this might be because the night before spent a lot of time on computer on facebook and blog reading that will teach me. Hands are not aching as much bruise on my knee has turned yellow but has nearly gone.

Still eating to much crap am afraid that when I weigh myself I am in for a nasty shock, maybe that is the kick up the arse I need. Think I will do that one morning this week.

I am going football tonight to watch Chelsea v Aston Villa FA Youth Cup Final second Leg KO 7.45 Preview I know that Clive who is a big rugby man will be wanting a Chelsea victory even though he doesn't give a toss for football. Will be going for something to eat before the game with my wife and my mate Billy so more massive calorific intake

Travelled to the Dark Side and ate to much

Got up early today about 8, had some toast and jam for breakfast,managed a shave but still no haircut, got showered partly dried me self, got dressed. Before my journey to the dark side.

Walked across Mitcham Common to Beddington Lane Tram stop Tramlink Tram to Morden Road, which is about a fifteen minute walk to Morden Station, where I got the Underground to Camden Town ( North London Dark Side) well it is to me born and bred in south London.

I met my sister in law there we had a walk round Camden Town for a while, but because Camden Lock is nearby it is a mecca for visitors and tourist's alike so busy busy busy.

We then decided to go for something to eat we chose STRADA I had Garlic Bread, Butternut Squash Risotto and for desert I had an oozing Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream.

We left the restaurant walked up to Kentish town had a look round the shops, bid farewell to my sister in law jumped on the Underground to Wimbledon where I got the Tram back to Beddington Lane another walk over mitcham Common to home.

Am hoping all the walking I did today will account for my calorific intake, at the moment eating so much crap and with no cycling am hoping my weight doesn't go through the roof, we will see.

The journey there and back was ok managed to survive withut anyone banging into my Elbows.
