Well having just come back from a rather indulgent cruise I’m afraid a new diet is on the cards!

I checked with my doctor yesterday and I’m definately overweight (no surprises there then..!!). Just waiting for the results of blood tests to see how bad my cholesterol levels are. Oh, and the blood pressures up a bit and I’ve been advised to get a BP monitor at home!

I’ve started by cutting out the twice weekly hot bacon sandwich for breakfast, which really is a major sacrifice, and the twice weekly lunchtime trip to the pub is getting the chop as well! If I really have to go to the pub (on the grounds of teambuilding, social networking etc) then I’ll be having a gin & slimline tonic instead of 3 pints of lager…

Lunch in general has gone from a couple of sandwiches to something low fat and low carb. At the moment (until I find something a little more interesting) that means a packet of either chicken or turkey ham.. very boring!

OK, so incentives?

Well apart from hopefully living a bit longer I’ve promised myself that if I can lose a stone by August then I’ll change my car.

Mmmmm.. watch this space!
