Day 1648

Day 1648;

My BMI was 19.76, my steps were 13,860, number of calories that I had burnt off 991 kcal and my distance walked was 8.97 km.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana and apple.
Lunch: cheese sandwich (white bread), porkpie and chocolate brownie.
Dinner: beef, peas and croquet potatoes.
Drinks: milk, fruit juice, water and Tia Maria.
Snacks: Turkish Delight and Jelly Babies.

Now I have woke up, gone downstairs to eat my breakfast, had breakfast, once completed I have got changed into my gym wear, I have had my lunch before going to the gym for my new Monday routine, by new I mean as in it came out this year so I'd only been doing it for the month, and a week, up until I went off skiing and last week was my first week back doing some stuff at the gym, so this week was my second week, and I think the gym appeared easier this week over last week as I hadn't dome anything in the gym for the pat month.

Oh yeah, before I ate my lunch I had a jog (run) inside and I worked out how to set it up and stuff today, but I should really be getting to locating the skiing app as it's not long now until I go back to the indoor slopes.

Day 1647

Day 1647;

19.69 was my BMI for today, I had done 10,930 steps, burned off 989 kcal and I had walked 7.08

 km.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.
Lunch: beef, sausages in bacon, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, carrots, peas and chocolate cake.
Dinner: I think it was food but but it's all gone now.
Drinks: milk, water, fruit juice and Lucozade sport (orange).

Now today I have embarrassed Tini, by getting half changed into my pyjamas while B and C was still here, but I didn't see where all of the fuss was coming from, I only did it as I had forgot about the body tests until I had taken my  t-shity off and put it in the wash bin already.

But then my new "toy" I have been using today and today after I had done my body test I decided to go for a little inside run, now after an hour and five minutes I stopped I had done 22,118 steps today so that should mean  that I had done about 11k steps.

Day 1646

Day 1646;

My BMI was 19.79, my steps were 16,848, my number of calories burnt off were 1337 kcal and the distance that I walked was apparently 10.91 km.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.

Lunch: cheese ham omelette, some mushroom omelette and something else.

Dinner vegetable lasagna and a caramel chocolate pot.

Drinks: milk, orangeade, cider and water.

Now today I have been out on the tandem for the first time this year, by the time of our return to the house Mich realised that we’d been locked out and the new “toy” that I had ordered had arrived, so we were stuck locked out of our home waiting for Tini to arrive to let us in, of which she did a short while later. But then I wasn’t allowed my “toy” until after I had eaten my lunch.

So my new “toy” was a new step counter basically but it does more than count steps, it even works with a bike, apparently as it is set up with GPS built in, so I will know how far I have traveled and all that shenanigans built in.

Day 1645

Day  1645;

My BMI was 19.92, my steps were 11, 491, the number of calories I had burnt off today were 993 and I had walked 7.44 km apparently.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.
Lunch: canned spaghetti on toast.
Dinner: vegetable lasagna and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, water, fruit juice and cider.
Snacks: orange and jelly babies.

So today I haven’t done anything apart from my little jog, that I did just to get my steps up to a more respectable number.

I’ve forgotten about my day, what’s happened to me.

Day 1644

Day 1644;

BMI was 19.58 so disappointing, and I eat everything now, I had done 17,939 steps, I had only burnt off 1091 kcal but I had apparently walked 11.61 km.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.

Lunch: pancakes with lemon sugar and pancakes with orange chocolate ice cream.

Dinner: turkey in bacon, peas, croquet potatoes and chocolate trifle.

Drinks: milk, fruit juice, water and hot chocolate.

Now today I have been to the gym and I have been on Allergy’s trampoline as I am no where near coordinated enough to actually go on her trampoline properly, with the DVD and all that, I decided to have a jog on it instead, so I managed to get 2 30 minute jogging workouts so that should be my steps for today, which was as well as the 71 and a bit minute cycle I had on the exercise bike at the gym today.

So my I managed to get my steps total slightly high today and I should be getting a new “toy” for my step calculation/daily fitness shenanigans, I think, so I should be getting it slightly more accurate than on stuff that I will be doing, and it even could inform me how fast I’m skiing, apparently, but that I'll have to uncover for myself the next time that I go skiing.

Day 1643

Day 1643;

BMI was 19.66, I had walked 16,260 steps, I had burnt 1131 kcal and I walked 10.53 km.

Breakfast: cereal, apple, banana, orange and natural yogurt.

Lunch: cheese omelette and chocolate brownie.

Dinner: turkey, sausage in bacon, roast potatoes, runner beans, peas, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower cheese.

Drinks: milk, fruit juice and cider.

I have had a lazy morning, with me playing on my computer and me wishing Allergy a happy anniversary of her existence, you know the usual shenanigans for this day, I got Allergy a trampoline this year it wasn’t a proper one but instead it was a mini 36 inch “body sculpture” one. Just as she asked me for the other week. I think she’s bounced on it but she still ain’t used the Bounce DVD for it yet. 

Then I ate my lunch and then after lunch I started my little fitness regime. So I did:

30 minutes worth of jogging,

30 press-ups,

Taken a break,

30 press-ups,

 I took another break,

40 press-ups,

Yet another break,

50 sit-ups,

Before removing the wet cloths from behind me, as they were disturbing me.

100 crunches,

Before a slight break to write up what I have just done,

50 sit-ups,

Before taking another break for me to write up all of the fitness stuff that I have done so far today.

Then I did another little bit of jogging around but this time it was slightly longer than 30 minutes of jogging until Allergy got back home and she got back to her bouncing but I even got a go on her trampoline.

Then I had 5 minutes on the rower.

Well that should be the 10,000 steps done, for today at least. 

I’ve got just under 1 and a half hours time until dinner, so I went back downstairs and I started rowing again, but Tini wasn’t best pleased about the fact, as I was going to get myself all sweaty before B arrived, plus she’d already told me to change my top (had she?) anyway I went upstairs to change my top then I came back downstairs for dinner which was awesome as I had my complete 5 a day all in one meal, I think I may have committed overkill on my 5 a day with a total of 3 fruit that I had for breakfast then it was 2 more I had with lunch in a 500 ml mug of apple juice before the 5 vegetables that I have had for dinner. So that’s 10 out of 5 but I have heard that my fruit juice should only class as 1 because of all the sugar balderdash is what I say to that, it was from a bottle of pure apple juice, so then all that is in it is apple juice. I may have to put some extra effort into cleaning my teeth tonight but anyway I will.

Day 1642

Day 1642;

My BMI was 19.72, my number of steps were 10,067, the number of calories I burnt off today were 947 kcal and the distance I had walked was 6.52 km.

Breakfast: cereal, apple, banana and orange.

Lunch: pancakes with lemon and sugar.

Dinner: macaroni cheese, chicken nuggets and chocolate trifle.

Drinks: milk and fruit juice.

Now today I have had a boring old lazy day, this is encapsulated by the boccia I have gone to play this afternoon. But as I’m always attempting to better myself, but unfortunately I more often than not fail at the task. Now today I have managed to get my steps up to a decent number, of which I have been thinking about getting another little step counter type thing one which I can use for skiing, cycling and just about any other sport/workout. But it costs a lot of money, but I can afford it with my savings, but it would cost greater than double the amount that I have spent on a gift for a sibling who’s anniversary it is tomorrow, so I’m unsure, of the etiquette.

I have only done 

24 press-ups,

40 sit-ups 

Today.

But the football team that we support actually won a game today.

Day 1641

Day 1641:

19. To 76 was my BMI of today since I have now got my step counter up and running again but I still haven’t got my steps up to a decent amount today, as it was still 8000 odd by the time that I was checking it out.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, apple and banana.

Lunch: cheese sandwich.

Dinner: chicken, Yorkshire pudding, broccoli, peas, potato and lemon meringue pie.

Drinks: milk, fruit juice and Guinness.

First up today was the surprise as I was confused about where I was this morning, then it was the feeling of comfort that I hadn’t had for the week before then I went downstairs for breakfast I finished my breakfast after a little bit of a long time.

I have done

40 press-ups,

40 sit-ups,

Then I took a break before doing 

40 press-ups,

40 sit-ups,

Then I have gone out for a walk around to my GM’s house. I have returned from it to eat my dinner. And drink a can of Guinness which I thought was very alcoholic 

Day 1640

Day 1640;

It was home day today and I think my BMI was 19.79 by the end of today, but my steps and kcal’s burnt off today didn’t count as my fit meter had ran out of battery.

Breakfast: croissant with honey) and biscuits.

Lunch: ham cheese sandwich (white bread).

Dinner: I’ve forgotten.

Drinks: fruit juice, water and milk.

Now today it was the day of my return to Blighty, on this day I had been listening to the radio, hearing Manchester United being beaten by Newcastle, on the radio, 1-0, while I was apparently snoring, my way home.

But I had been having a lazy day today as first it was a coach trip to the airport, then it was a plane trip back to Blighty before finally getting in the car for a drive first to Emu’s home then to Mich’s, and mine, home, where I finally got back and it snowed on us both, which started while we were in the car on the way and it didn’t stop until a bit after we had returned home but it came to naught unlike where we had been for the previous week.

Day 1639

Day 1639;

Now today was the sixth day of the ski trip, seventh day since I had left my home, and it’s the final day of skiing.

Breakfast: croissant, biscuits and an orange.

Lunch: tartufle, like pasta covered in cheese and ham.

Dinner: a 4 course Italian meal.

Drinks: fruit juice, Fanta and water.

Snacks: cereal bars.

Today I have woke up only two hours early from what I can remember. 

Now today I thought that I was supposed to be getting up early for the slopes as they are going to get properly busy today. As they were manically busy today, for the most part. The only times when they weren’t there were when we had just finished our lunch and on the run up to black 8, which was a nice little piece of slope but it was a bit steep.

Day 1638

Day 1638:

Fifth day of the ski trip but sixth day since I left home.

Breakfast: croissant with honey and biscuits.

Lunch: sausage with cheese toastie and apple.

Dinner: 4 course meal.

Drinks: fruit juice, 7 up and water.

Snacks: a couple of alpen cereal bars.

So today I had skiing and I actually won a little game that we all played, it was a game of cats and mouse. Now the game went as Mr M was the mouse and all of the rest of us were the cats and what we had to do was catch the mouse after we had given him a head start, so then I went as quick as I could within reason (by that I mean not bombing it downhill, keeping control) to catch up to him, so I set off on my pursuit, weaving my way in between all of the other “cats” putting as much weight forward I deemed necessary to close in on him (he thought I was doing 50mph at a conservative estimate, as if) so I got as close to him without colliding into him and then I had to decide how I should proceed in capturing him, as I didn’t want to get intimate with him I decided to tap him, then he’d know that I was there and captured, in effect. So I had captured Mr M mouse, there goes game won.

Skiing is all about the application of weight, your body weight could be immense but if you can’t use it correctly you could end up being the slowest on the slope. As if you have got two balls on the side of the mountain one weighs more than the other if you drop them both at the same time which one would reach the foot of the mountain first? Well that depends on the distance that is needed to be traveled by each of the balls and the different types of terrain that each meet on their travels, but assuming that both of the balls have a hundred meter tarmac surface going down a 23% gradient, then the ball with the greater mass will get down quicker.

But then there was a little thing being Pa’s funky games night which the team that I was part of actually won, with a score of sixty-one.

Day 1637

Day 1637;

Fifth day, fourth of skiing.

Breakfast: croissant (cherry jam).

Lunch: gnocchi.

Dinner:  2 of 4 courses (antipasti and first course).

Drinks: fruit juice and sprite.

Snacks: biscuits, apple, crackers.

Now today I have had fun skiing, and I have had some fun in a little quiz night. It was one that I actually knew some of the answers of also. The team that I was part of actually won the quiz out of the 3 teams that where there from our trip. 

So my dinner today was cut short as I had to go to the quiz, which the team I was part of actually did quite well, and I think I’ve roped myself into organising some kind of reunion in Manchester for the survivors of Pila 2018. But I’m guessing that we still have to survive it yet.

Day 1636

Day 1636;

Forth day, third with skiing, in Italy, today I haven’t had my BMI checked for 4 days now.

Breakfast: croissant, honey and an apple.

Lunch: I’ve forgotten.

Dinner: 4 course meal.

Drinks: fruit juice and water.

But today a brain surgeon and I have got Mich’s Go-Pro working, so now he could film his own videos of skiing if he so wished. But no he doesn’t want to make films of his own adventure he wants Emu to film stuff for him, but Emu isn’t even in the same ski group as him.

Mart has been good today taking me off piste, for some short intervals, like the first time I stacked it today but then I didn’t stack it, as what happened was my ski instructor told me to duck under this rope so I did, what happened was the piece of rope was flailing around so I went into it to get myself garrotted, basically, so I had to limbo the rope on skis I got myself down pretty far after I had been garrotted by the rope so I managed to get myself free of the rope and the rope pinged up hitting Emu who had come behind me to help pity she arrived too late and just got walloped by the rope. But I was just skiing on unaware of her assistance offered. Until after the fact, of her getting walloped.

Day 1635

Day 1635;

I don’t know what my BMI was for today as it was the third day of my Italian adventure.

Breakfast: ham in croissant and chocolate cake.

Lunch: margarita pizza and apple thingamajig.

Dinner: another other 4 course meal but this time the main was rabbit which tasted suspiciously like chicken.

Drinks: fruit juice and lemonade.

This morning I did 100 crunches and by the time I had finished skiing for the day I had only stepped about 3500 times.

Today I took out a slope marker I’m not sure how it happened as I was skiing along suddenly my left ski must have hit something under the snow as it went flying off and before I knew what was going on I was lead on the slope with only my right ski on

But rabbit tastes quite a bit like chicken, it tastes more like chicken than those McDonald’s chicken nuggets, I know it’s not hard due to the amount of salt they put on them, but anyway.

Day 1634

Day 1634;

Second day of my holiday in Italy. Which means no body test. My steps were also low today, as I had only managed to get about 4400 steps by the time that I had finished skiing today.

Breakfast: cereal.

Lunch: chips and alpen energy bars.

Dinner: another Italian 4 course meal.

Drinks: fruit juice, 7 up and water.

As I woke up this morning I got myself dressed into my skiing under garments which is literally boxers, socks, thermal trousers, thermal top, ski socks. Then I had to put on my Salopettes. Before rushing my way to the boot room, for the ski boots as we were late, apparently, by the time that we had got on our ski boots and we had arrived outside there was only one skier from our group, it was the one and so far only one legged skier that I know. I prefer skiing in her group as she is the only other skier that I can recognise easily, so therefore it’s more difficult to get lost. So a completely selfish reason.

But then my skiing I learnt that it’s better not to do hockey stop turns, as it’s apparently a waste of energy and I’ve got to be more patient with my turns. I know that on a mountain but on an inside slope which is what I’m used to it’s just not practical. But I know that what I have just done is made up an excuse, so if you’re reading this discount the message.

Then after dinner I had a shower and then I went to bed.

Day 1633

Day 1633;

So today was my first day of not doing a body test for some time. But I know that I had done more than 12,000 steps today, as I checked on my fitness meter.

Breakfast: bacon sandwich.

Lunch: pizza.

Dinner: 4 course Italian meal.

Drinks: milk ,fruit juice and fruit juice with cider.

Snacks! Jelly Babies.

Now I have been leaving the country of my birth, I have had a lazy day today, as I have spent the majority of day sat down in transit to the foreign country of Italy. But then approximately for the complete amount of time I spent standing I spent stepping, as I needed to, too keep me awake, as on the plane I had a long sleep and I had many more smaller sleeps on the coach that I was on for the final bit of my travel.

But yesterday we went to watch the football team that we support play a game, the game was excellent, I think I can remember, as the full time score was 2-0, to the team that we were there to support. The rugby yesterday was also great as those Frogs managed to push the Irish pretty tight in the end. But then today it was England V Italy in Rome, as I was pretty close to the game but I have never actually been to Rome, but still I I watched it on a box.

Then I had a shower at night in order to allow myself more time for me to get ready for skiing tomorrow morning.

Day 1632

Day 1632;

My BMI was 19.95, my amount of steps were 11,463, the number of calories burnt off were 866 kcal and the distance I walked was apparently 7.42 km.

Breakfast: cereal.
Lunch: tomato soup, bread, chocolate eclair and an egg custard.
Dinner: pie, carrots, broccoli, potatoes and some vanilla cheesecake.
Drinks: milk, fruit juice,
Snacks: orange, banana and apple.

Now tonight has been the last night that I am going to be able to record my BMI as I am leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again, but it should be sometime in about a week.



Now that was sone John Denver, as it says in the title of the video, but first up now I'm jetting off to Italy for a ski tripIt's going to be the furthest I have ever flown on a plane as I have only ever flown to Germany before but that was for a day trip so I flew twice in one day on that day, all those years ago; now it must have been 12 or 13 years ago. But I cannot remember it other than, it was myself and Mich boarding a plane in the morning which left pretty promptly, but our return trip wasn't very good due to the delays, some say that that Geri's are very good at keeping time, not from my experience.

I have just been told that we're about to leave to get on the plane. 

Day 1631

Day 1631;

My BMI was 19.72, I had done 12,167 steps, I had burned off 1110 kcal and I had apparently walked 7.88 km.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.

Lunch: cheese omelette and something.

Dinner: chicken, carrots, peas, broccoli, potatoes and vanilla cheesecake.

Drinks: milk, water, fruit juice, cider and hot chocolate.

So today I have been out to the gym and I have been out to GM’s house. At the gym I did another one hour twelve minutes cycle. 

I have forgotten what I have done, other than gym and GM’s house.

30 press-ups,

50 press-ups,

31 press-ups,

50 sit-ups,

50 sit-ups,

But I will be leaving this good old country, or as commonly known, well it was going back a few years, of Blighty, which isn’t really a country, it’s more like England+ a couple of stragglers tagging along for the ride. Even if the Scottish don’t seem to like it, but they still voted to remain part of the Union of 3 and a part of a country, when they had their chance to split. So why, just why?

Day 1630

Day 1630;

My BMI was 19,82, the number of steps that I took was 10,496, the number of calories I had burnt off were 1294 kcal and the distance I had walked was apparently 6.79 km.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.

Lunch: cheese and red current jam toastie and chocolate.

Dinner: chicken, chicken and something 

Drinks: milk, water, fruit juice, dandelion burdock and cider.

Snacks: 3 mini chocolate rabbits, I think at least I think that they were leftover from an Easter Years ago.

So as a start for today I have been down for my breakfast, then I came back upstairs and I started doing sit-ups.

90 sit-ups, 

31 sit-ups,

Now I have been hearing a bit on the radio recently about Asians being no good at football, but wasn’t there that Jap, Honda I think his name was, that out shone quite a few of the Western nations footballing stars? I know that Japan is a great little island nation off of mainland Asia, but that is like saying that Britain isn’t part of Europe, which it is, it’s still a member of the EU also, for the moment at least. The EU isn’t Europe, the EU is a regimen Europe is the name of the land that it is placed upon.

10 press-ups,

10 press-ups,

30 press-ups,

So now was the time that I went downstairs for lunch to find that I’d have to wait a bit longer for my lunch. Now as I’d been an idiot and forgotten wether I’d brushed my teeth yet today, so I made sure by brushing my teeth (again?).

Then after lunch I went to the gym, and I had an hour and twelve minutes cycle on an exercise bike but the final twelve minutes was my cool-down period. 

Allergy and Tini have gone out, to separate places. Mich has returned and has taken my order for dinner, which he is going to collect in a while, I ordered chicken and chips as it was the cheapest thing on the menu.

40 press-ups,

50 press-ups,

So that’ll be my fitness done for the day, or it should be at least.

Then next up I ate my dinner, it was as mentioned above, a takeaway.

Then I did my body test, and now it’s time for me to brush my teeth. So I have done, but I can’t help thinking that I’ve forgotten something, something important.

Day 1629

Day 1629;

My BMI improved slightly to 20.15 for today, my steps were 11,523, the number of calories I had burnt off today was 1103 kcal and the distance I walked today was apparently 7.43 km.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, apple and banana.

Lunch: cheese sandwich (white bread) and a slice of cake.

Dinner: meat, carrots, peas, potatoes and I have forgotten the rest.

Drinks: milk, water, fruit juice and cider.

Now today was a day when I told Tini not to waste petrol on me by driving all the way back here to drive me to the gym just to drive back to work again after she's done the above so I think I was having a bit of a lazy day today. I had done one ten minute jog before lunch.

But today I was getting nagged about my stepping habits, as it was apparently a ploy that was made up by the Jap's in the 60's or something like that in an attempt to get the population more active or something like that Menpo-Kei, or literally translated as ten thousand step-meter. But I like getting my ten thousand steps in a day,I's easy It just takes 1 half hour jog to get you to half way and if you do an hour there you go ten thousand. So that id just half an hour out of your lunch break, of jogging on the spot and then you can do a second half hour when you've got home, there you'll go.

37 press-ups,

Went downstairs to complete the washing up of my lunchtime pots.

53 press-ups,

30 press-ups,

Then I ate my dinner, I jogged on the spot for about hal'f an hour to get my daily steps up to a slightly more respectable number and I did my body test.

101 sit-ups.

So I've done my daily quota of press-ups and sit-ups.

So this night was the night of the second full moon of the month, but someone informed me that it was called a blue moon also, but then that same person told me that it was also a blood (red) moon tonight also, but it hasn't turned red, not for me at least.

Day 1628

Day 1628;

Today my BMI was 20.05, the number of steps I had taken were 20,734, the number of calories I had burnt off were1288 kcal and I have apparently walked 13.43km.

Breakfast: cereal.

Lunch: cheese sandwich(white bread), sausage roll and fruit cake.

Dinner: gammon, pickle, pineapple, runner beans, peas, carrots, potatoes and lemon meringue pie.

Drinks: milk, Lucozade sport (orange), fruit juice and hot chocolate.

Snacks: grapes and banana.

Today I have been to London, I like my walks around London as today by the time I had got back to the station that we went to London on, I checked my step count, it was already higher than 15 thousand and then when I sat down for my afternoon snack it was already up at higher than 20 thousand. But that may have been as I had also gone out for a little walk around a small portion of the town that I live in. 

First walk of the day was around London, which started at the station, I went to the hospital (to get my eyes all rat poisoned), I went to a shop that I have forgotten the name of but it was to get a poppy framed, and then it was time to get back to the train.

40 press-ups, 

40 sit-ups,

Then I took a break,

40 press-ups,

40 sit-ups,

20 press-ups,

20 sit-ups,

There we go that’s my 100 done for today, any more that I may do today are to be bonus, which is if I do any more today that is.

Now about today I have forgotten what I did, as I am thinking that it may have had something to do with playing Skyrim, but I cannot remember if I really did play that game today or whither it was a previous day and I’m just remembering it now?

But I had also forgotten what I had for dinner after the suspected game session, of it all I can remember was Allergy asking Mich the identity of the green vegetables that were on the plates and I think that he said they were runner beans and Tini confirmed it. Then from that I knew that I had some peas, carrots and potatoes, but I couldn’t remember what else I had ate. At least not until I remembered that I had some ham (gammon), and then pineapple rings, and pickle, I worked out, and remembered, from that then lemon meringue pie I finally remembered.

30 press-ups,

30 sit-ups,

The bonuses for today.
