Lardathon Weigh In

Three weeks into the lardathon and time to weigh in. I was a bit worried as I diidn't seem to have made much progress,partly due to troughing large quantities of nice food and also that alkyhol stuff! I heven had a medicinal white magnum yesterday - which apparently have less calories than my 51g of muesli although I find that hard to believe!

Anyway -the good news is that I'm down to 95kgs today - so that's 2 kgs lost. Okay - that's still a gain on a few months ago, and about a stone heavier than I was this time last year, but it's heading in the right direction.

The bad news is that I've got an ear infection - which I tend to get quite frequently, for unknown reasons. It could be soemthign to do with the fact that I swim, but then it's always in the same ear, so I think there's something more to it than just that. I've taken some painkillers, which have helped, but will probably try and get soem antibiotics later as I know from past experience it can get very painful if left to develop, to a stage where painkillers don't make any difference.

Didn't get much sleep last night but feel a bit better now - so I'm off to the gym to spin and pump in 20 minutes time after I've wolfed down a Min butty.

UPDATE

Ear was really playign up at the gym and I felt distinctly wobbly a couple of times but kept going.

Spin first - and Becky turned up to a room full of eager spinners. Some new faces in there which was good, but it was the usual sweaty bodies. I was surprised how little my legs ached from yesterday morning. I think maybe it is strengthening my knees and stuff.

Good class - then a change of t-shirt, a re-fill of the drinks bottle and off to pump.

A good class, as expected with Mel, and those Arnie presses absolutely killed me as usual! Fortunatly this time I had remembered to wear a t-shirt that didn't fly up and show my gut when we did overhead stuff.

Then out of there and over to the water fountain to get some more water, only there was a sign on it saying the water was potentially contaminated so it was out of use. "Great", I thought, "I've just downed two bottles full of that, so unless it's only just become contaminated I've probably drunk iffy water". Then into the sauna for a chilled out twenty minutes.

Not feeling great today - very giddy, probably due to the ear infection, and lost my appetite. This might be a good thing as far as Lardathon goes! Been taking it easy all day after the gym, and will get to the doc first thing tomorrow.

Having a bit of a low day for reasons I won't go into here :-(
