In Flew End Tzar

Ok...so I am starting to feel almost normal again.  After 4 weeks I am not actually coughing ALL night and all day, though I still have to abandon the bed from time to time, just to let my wife get a bit of sleep through the constant coughing.  I had 4 courses of antibiotics, was off work for 2 1/2 weeks and have generally felt completelty crap for a month. 

So I think I might be ready to tentatively re-enter the competition.  I wont be breaking any records exercise wise but I feel up to at least showing up again.  I could do with a proper night's sleep too while I'm making lists.

Apologies to one and all for my absence.

Perhaps you could think about setting a new challenge on Friday evening Steve.  Preferably one that wont kill me.  An eating challenge would suit me best this week (been lots of sick boy comfort food lately).  Anything involving too much exertion sends me into coughing fits that has me dizzy on my feet.

I must be like 12,000 points behind by now.  I weighed in the other day at 254.4 ipad pounds.  Thats a measley 3.5 pounds below starting weight 2 months ago. I didn't even have the good grace to lose 10 pounds through illness!

Be gentle with me Steve! (But I'm still secretly proud of you for doing so well)

Crack cocaine in moderation....?

OK, so I got your attention. (Couldn't think of anything else to write.)

How are you all going?

I am bludy good, fanks for asking!

Some funny and cool things have happened over the past few weeks, including but not limited to:

1. Quite a few people noticing that I am shrinking. (Yay!)
2. Two people have even rubbed my tummy. (There is no genie in there)
3. Been back to Taekwondo, tearing muscles and getting flexible. <- Love!!
4. Eating well, had pizza, steak sandwich, some pasta, rack of lamb and baked veggies and Sushi.
5. Had some Pear Cider <- Not cool..... I'll explain shortly.

OK, so here is where I just want to put on record that introducing sugar back into my eating plan sent me on a food bender that makes Charlie Sheen look like an alter boy!

We just cannot be friends anymore Sugar! I mean it, you bring out the worst in me.

There has only been a couple of occasions in the past two weeks, but coming off the sugar high, near on makes it impossible to resist eating JUNK FOOD!

If you did not watch the Sunday Night program on Sugar Called Sweet Poison, go and check it out for yourself. http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/

OK, so that's it for now.... Just wanted to keep you updated.

I am happier, healthier and lighter!!
