System Reboot after Gallbladder removal
I had my gallbladder removed yesterday. I'm taking this golden opportunity to reboot my whole digestive system. I've read lots of horror stories of the after effects of this op so I'm going to take it really slowly. Start with small simple stuff and only introduce the risky* foods slowly. My ultimate goal is to get to a…

Even 90 miles into their bike ride they still said "Thanks" when all we were doing was handing out drinks and energy bars. They did all the hard work. Humbling and inspirational doing my…

Another Plateau thread
Plateau... I've spent the whole of June at exactly 17st 3 (241lbs). I only weigh once per week so daily fluctuations aren't a problem for me. The solution appears to be to shock my system back into life by either cutting calories or increasing workouts. It is option 2 for me. New gym opens near me tomorrow, I have my…

NSV: New Shadow
I did my tenth ParkRun this morning and noticed my shadow on the path. My shadow now has a neck with a head on top. Previously it was just a blob. Me happy to have a shadow with a neck.
