Well bad news, for me at least, after the last diet weigh in.

I’d put on a pound in 2 weeks!

I suppose I should have expected it following a boozy couple of days in London and another couple of lunchtimes in the pub, but it still came as a bit of a shock.

I’m not sure this dieting lark is that good for me as I’ve now come down with a cold – it must be because I’m a bit run down through malnourishment! That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! It’s either that or I’m allergic to the ‘invisible’ cloud of volcanic ash that’s been haunting the UK for the last week.

Well you know the law – ‘Feed a col and starve a fever’. So I thought I’d start today with a toasted bacon baquette – purely medicinal you understand. I’ll get back on the diet wagon when I feel a bit better later in the week.
