Has to be said: Ha!
In fact, come to that, Ha! Ha! Ha!!
Walked a kind of truncated verion of my Twyn Hill walk this morning, re-weighed when I got home - back down to 17st 8.25. That's more like it, frankly.
Meant to mention yesterday, while the Nazi Scales continue to be changeable in their loyalties, the blood testing kit is still giving me love since I changed its battery this week. Yesterday - 6.8. Today, 6.7 - both of which are within the normal ranges for a diabetic, so that's positive.
Out to the gym tomorrow morning with, of all people, my Uncle Lynn and Aunt Cynthia. Lynn's doing really well - lost a bunch of stones himself recently, to greatly improve his knee condition - he's got that thing where you wear all the bendy-goo (that's the medical term, I'm assured) in your knees away, so he's been taking advantage of the GP Referral gym membership that I used to do. Time to join him for the pain and the progress, I think. Was glad I did this morning though - as the ridiculous near-vertical of the thing that isn't actually Twyn Hill but its next-street neighbour loomed in front of me, I was tempted to just call it quits and go back home - shows how soft I've become. But instead, I ploughed on and did it. And clearly, two things need to be said.
1. Fuck me, I'm out of practice at this uphill lark.
2. I'm back, baby!
So if we take 17st 8.25 as this week's "real reading", I'm gonna try and set an unrealistic goal for next week - I'd like to get to 17st 5. May well get a "system shock" benefit if I start doing things regularly again, so let's see if the unrealistic can be achieved.
Oh and I suppose there's a third thing. I plugged my iPod in to do the walk, because the thought of doing a walk like that with just my thoughts for company was mortifying. And yes, I'm still profoundly, or rather totally, deaf in the right ear. Not a damn thing going in there.
Sigh - back to the docs a week today...and potentially Ear, Nose and Throat specialist referral, cos clearly this is not getting better in terms of hearing. Humph...
