Erm.... yeah, alright then :-/
So, I went to the gym tonight and got my initial weigh in. It's not pretty.
27st 2lbs
Thats 172.5kg, or 380lbs.
This is officially the heaviest I've ever been. Seriously, I've never been this big before in my life. I'm actually disgusted at myself.
The gym session didn't go well either. My fitness has dropped so much I could barely manage half an hour of light cardio. I'm such a mess right now.
However, onwards an upwards. There's only so long I can sit mithering at myself for letting myself go so badly, especially considering how hard I worked in June.
So this is the way I'm looking at it; I managed to go to the gym tonight when I could have easily stayed home, I've been tracking my food and come well under my daily allowance and I'm back at the start of a hard process.
I know it won't take long to start losing weight again, so I'm not allowing myself to be demoralised by this.
I'm going to try. I have to try. I don't want to be this size forever.
Till next time

June 10th 2013
Is it monday again already? Ugh.
Everyone was telling me that the weekend was going to be the hardest part of my diet. That it would be a struggle to stay clean and healthy because everyone naturally treats themselves on weekend.
Well, bugger that. It wasn't any harder than during the week. I'm thinking that's because I slept in later on both days, so I had less time of actual fasting before I could eat. Either way though, it wasn't too difficult to stay good.
The hardest part of the whole weekend is when me and Mrs D popped to the cinema (saw Star Trek, brilliant film, go and see it) on saturday night. Instinctively when you go to the cinema you want the largest popcorn available and an enormous fizzy drink to wash it down with. I managed to resist, partly due to the fact that a large popcorn and drink combo is nearly £9 but also because I had earlier managed to convince myself that I wasn't going to buy sweets. Instead, I popped into Tesco on the way to the cinema and bought a bag of mixed nuts and a bottle of mineral water. Much more filling, much more satisfying and slightly quieter. I also burped less.
I managed to get to the gym on Sunday morning and walloped through a quick workout. It was much busier than when I normally go on an evening, so I didn't really want to hang around with groups of people flocking past me. I did discover a great way to keep me going at the gym, though and it's not music. Audio Books. I've been listening to the Game Of Thrones books for a while through the Audible app on my phone and it honestly wiles away the time on the cardio machines so much better than music ever could. When I'm listening to music, I'm picking the song to bits and analysing it, or I'm wondering what the next song to come on is. When I'm listening to the book, it's just the story that's happening and I get lost in the tale being told. It's a revelation, I'd recommend you try it.
Today is monday (you can imagine my displeasure) so that means it's also weight and measurement day. I'll be posting another picture of myself today too, so you can all go and compare me to last week. Hopefully I've lost a nice chunk of weight and prove that all this hard work and suffering is working.

June 3rd, 2013 part two
Hi again
So, as I promised, I have some more details for you all. I weighed myself at the gym and I've had myself measured. It's slightly grim reading but we all start somewhere:
Weight: 26.7 stone
Chest: 54"
Waist: 64"
Bicep: 13"
Thigh: 30"
So what we can glean from that is that yes, I'm a fat bastard.
Self deprecation aside, this means I'm exactly back to my heaviest weight when I started in 2011. This is annoying on several levels. Firstly, it means all the hard work I put in during 2011 has been wasted and secondly, I appear to have put all of that weight back on my stomach. Bastard body.
Anyway, I visited the gym for the first time in ages and managed to have a nice workout. 10 minutes on the exercise bike, 20 mins of resistance then 10 minutes on the cross trainer. Not bad considering my fitness is back to 0. And that I've already walked 2 miles today too.
Diet wise, I had a large, carb loaded dinner tonight. It's going to be my last carb heavy meal for 10 days, I enjoyed it.
Last of all for today, here is my weekly picture. I'll post one every Monday so you can get a visual idea of how I'm doing. If anyone notices any change before I do, please let me know.
Night all
Michael
