General - a Healthyer Martin
Todays entry finds me travelling back from Coventry after a Braille presentation. Clare should still be at mine when we get home. The last two weeks really have helped refresh me with her around.
I have decided to lay off the ale for 6 weeks in hopes that I will lose a few pounds. Not just content with stopping the beer, I have started to cook more rather than eating junk and found one of those infernal exercise bikes which I intend to use once a day with Iriver by my side of course!
I have actually cooked lots over the last two weeks and frozen a few days worth of healthy food to take out when I arrive home from travelling. This weekends culinary masterpiece will be a chicken curry of some kind. I have also got around to using the new wok gifted to me over Christmas which is encouraging me to cook.
I will still have a few drinks, mainly whisky and soda or water when out and the odd malt at night, so I haven’t gone cold turkey all together but as beer is probably the most fattening drink coupled with the other measures I remain hopeful for a sleeker Martin in a few weeks.
We spent Easter initially quietly but then went for a meal with friends. This degenerated in to a bit of a session and the last thing I remember is singing at around 2 on Monday. It is rather sad in some respects as one of my friends at the party will be leaving Epsom in September to pursue other life chances. Naturally I remain delighted for him but will be sad to see a friend move away.
I guess it’s a quiet night this evening and I don’t have any plans for the weekend. I am in Forest Hill on Friday, so a nice quiet week.
