Day 1858

Day 1858;

My BMI was 18.46, I had taken  28,325 steps which were 18.65 km and I had burned off  2529 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, nectarine and apple.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese with white bread), rice cakes, chocolate chip shortbread and tunocks wafer.
Dinner: chicken, sausages, bacon, bread sauce, peas carrots, broccoli, green beans, roast potatoes and chocolate orange trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water, fruit juice and hot chocolate.
Snacks: chocolate buttons, sponge cake, chocolate chip shortbread and tunocks wafer.

I ain’t anorexic, I just wanted to put that out there as I have absolutely no problem with eating any foodstuff. But Allergy has got the thought that I am rattling around Tini’s little head. But I have been nice to Tini as well, by saying that she could use the treadmill to perform one of her golden miles on all of the days that she’s not at school.

The following is from Wikipedia:

Anorexia Nervosa is a eating disorder characterised by low weight, fear of gaining weight, and a strong desire to be thin, resulting in food restriction. Many people with anorexia see themselves as overweight even though they are in fact underweight. If asked they usually deny they have a problem with low weight. Often they weigh themselves frequently, eat only small amounts, and only eat certain foods. Some will exercise excessively, force themselves to vomit, or use laxatives to produce weight loss. Complications may include osteoporosis, infertility and heart damage, among others. Women will often stop having menstrual periods.

Ok... from the top, anorexia is an eating disorder... agreed. Characterised by low weight (ok guilty) fear of gaining weight (didn’t I have a goal to gain some?) and a strong desire to be thin? (Not guilty). So with a score of one out of three I do believe that that I am not an anorexic, as it says “and” meaning all of the problems have to be with you, for you to have anorexia. But denying that I have anorexia is could be meaning the opposite? Then again I don’t eat in small amounts generally as I generally have a big bowl of fruit in the morning then I can remember that I had a three egg omelette the last time that I had one, and I even finished off Tini’s omelette also, so I’m like a dustbin when it comes to food.

Then today by my watch I did just over 4000 steps but I covered 104 km of distance and I managed to burn off over 4000 kcal. Which was quite different from my disappointing Wii Fit score.

Also today Simon Yates finished off his first cycling GT win (and completing the GB clean sweep over cyclings GT), Lewis Hamilton’s F1 drivers championship lead grew to 40 points and GB’s won their Davis Cup tie. But then Mich and I have successfully completed the 100 km bike ride around for a local hospice, which was fun, the first twenty mile of the ride, Mich was saying that he didn’t use any energy but then by the mile 50 he was completely beat (out of energy) and I kept trying to increase the speed but it didn’t seem to work as it once did, maybe Mich’s feet got too heavy on the peddles or as probably is, I need to get stronger.

Day 1857

Day 1857;

This day my BMI was 18.43, I had managed 10,329 steps (but only just), I also made 6.80 km which is pretty disappointing but what’s more so is the amount that I burned off today as it was only 961 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal.
Lunch: omelette (cheese, tomato, mushroom and ham) and something.
Dinner: tomato pasta, bread and some thing.
Drinks: milk and fruit squash.
Snacks: banana and biscuits.

Now today I have had a lazy day, by this I mean I had boccia this morning then I went off to watch a football match this afternoon. The football match was great, well the result was for the team that I was supporting, as the games result was 3-0, but in the first half the opposition should have been ahead with them scoring three goals in the first half which would have put a lot of pressure on the team that I support having them to have to get goals to stay in the match but then they didn’t manage to score in the game, so there goes it doesn’t matter how good your team is on the night if you can’t score past a team that you had put pressure on right the way through the first half, but then in the second half the better team had been put two goals down. But they kept playing they’re best until a third goal was conceded, then it was pretty much game over.

Until I returned home I had just sat down all day first was at boccia then it was at watching the football, so I took half an hour on the treadmill for a walk . Which was refreshing 

kcal 1856

Day 1856;

18.27 was my BMI, I had walked 25,475 steps which were 16.78 km and I have burned off 2240 kcal, apparently.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: tinned baked beans with sausages on bread, cheese and cake
Dinner: ham, egg, chips, peas and raspberry tart.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water, fruit juice and some Lucozade sport (orange).
Snacks: biscuits, Maltese chocolate and some more of my chocolate box.

On this day I have had a ninety minute walk before my thirty minute row which I had done between breakfast and lunch as usual, then again I had some of my snacks, biscuits, between as well.

But then today little Mr Yates managed to increase his lead in the Vuelta making it more probable to have the three of cyclings Grand Tour’s being held by three separate British people in one year, first the Giro was won by Chris Froome (who’s British even though he was born in Kenya), next up it was Geraint Thomas (who’s British even though he was born in Wales) and now there is to be this youngster Simon Yates (who even though was born somewhere in England) but the third one of those is only looking probable, at the moment.

Then also today I have been on another cycle ride in the afternoon but the weather conditions weren’t very conducive for a quick ride, we only managed to average at about 13.5 mph for the ride.

Day 1855

Day 1855;

BMI is 18.27 for today, I had taken 26,941 steps which was 17.74 km but I have only managed to burn 1883 kcal off, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, banana, orange and apple.

Lunch: toasted sandwich (cheese), banana and 2 slices of cake (1 carrot and 1 chocolate).

Dinner: salmon en croute, green beans, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, potatoes and raspberry pastry.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water, Lucozade sport (orange) and fruit juice.

Snacks: some of my chocolate box and a Maltese chocolate.

Allergy voiced her concern to me today she thinks that I have anorexia, which is an eating disorder, as it is obvious to anyone that has more than enough braincells to rub together, I may have many things but anorexia isn’t one of them. But then she said that I do too much exercise, well that depends on your perspective as if my long term goals/ambitions are to, as they are, to get myself fitter so that I can compete at an Olympic Games and I wouldn’t mind riding myself into contention for a starting position at one of cyclings Grand Tour’s or the smaller ones are also acceptable for me to compete in, as the other day that I had a tandem ride we managed to get an average of 15 mph, which now let’s be honest is only good enough to reach the slowest group of our local cycle group, and Mich said that he wasn’t even out of breath by the time that we’d arrived back, so therefore we could both put more effort into cycling, then who knows how quick we could have gone?

So today I have gone on a 5 mile walk then I tried only a couple of minutes on the trampoline, to get my minutes of intensity up to the required number for this week. Before I did a little row. Then after that must have been the time that Allergy voiced her concerns, I probably should have laughed at her but I didn’t as I knew her tactics. As Tini also uses similar, like  she starts with the answer, being that “I’m perfect, and any change is bad” but then that change part counts me as well that must never change,
"

Day 1854

Day 1854;

BMI has been 18.31 for today, I had done 22,977 steps which was 15.13 km and I had burned off 2151 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and nectarine.
Lunch: toasted sandwich (cheese) and something.
Dinner: fish (salmon), carrots, green beans, potato + cheese and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk and fruit squash.
Snacks: some of my chocolate box and Maltese chocolate.

Since today wasn’t going I wasn’t going to do the number of steps that I did yesterday, on my watch, as I had over 30,000 for yesterday. But today I have only managed just over 15,000. Now that may have been effected by the lack in doing a half hour Wii Fit cycle, but I'd already done an actual 20+ mile tandem ride, by the time that I did my weigh in.

So today I have got up, gone downstairs to eat my breakfast then I went on the treadmill which was followed by a row before I went back upstairs and got myself dressed into some of my more usual getup. From there it was another lazy day until the tandem ride. I can’t remember what I did for any of the time in between apart from eating lunch. But even that I’ve forgotten what I ate for desert.

Day 1853

Day 1853;

My BMI was 18.12, I had walked 21,404 steps  which was 14.10 km and I have burned off 2250 kcal today, according to Wii Fit. But according to my watch it’s a different story.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, nectarine and apple.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese and ham with white bread), chocolate cake bar and Batternburg.
Dinner: pie (steak and ale), broccoli, peas, green beans, carrots, potatoes and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.
Snacks: Maltese chocolate and some of my chocolate box.

So today I have been on the treadmill and for a row, all while I was watching/listening to a couple of days of the Vuelta which brought me right up to date on La Vuelta, as this morning I was watching the two stages that I had already seen  in the past theee days, as there wasn’t a stage yesterday (it was a rest day).

But I’ve got three ambitions to accomplish before my end is upon me, as well as that goal that I have set myself for this year. My three ambitions are to get one of my stories finished and to ride a bike/tandem in one of cycling’s Grand Tours, or at least another minor tour of cycling, like the Tour of Britain. But my first ambition is to go to an Olympics (or Paralympics) to compete (and then hopefully bring away a gold medal), but the sport that I am hoping to do in it hasn’t been decided yet, as I ain’t really good enough athlete at any of the sports which are currently at the Olympics or Paralympics, I may not be half bad at some of the sports, but I am not up to the standards of proper athletes, at any. But then as another one of my ambitions is about cycling I guess I probably should attempt it at some cycling discipline, but then wasn’t there that skier that’s riding in La Vuelta? 

Then I have had another jog and another row, to get myself in better shape. “I gotta shape up” I’m sure they’re lyrics to a song, but I don’t think that I liked the song but the lyrics are true, nevertheless. Oh dam it the lyrics were from a song from Grease, not from the song by Kevin Quinn, of which I found when  searched for the lyrics online. But I don’t think that those lyrics are actually in the Grease song now that I’m thinking about it.

Now today I have been having another thirty minute cycle on Wii Fit so now today I have managed to get an average speed of approximately twenty five kilometres per hour and that was with my steering, if I had some other person steering me around the island then maybe I could have got to fifty kilometres per hour, again.

Then in La Vuelta today it wasn’t a stage win for any of the GC favourites today, it was a Time Trial. But in the TT Simon Yates managed to put some more time on his opponent contenders for this years GC.

Day 1852

Day 1852;

18.31 my BMI was down again, I had only taken 11,300 steps  which was the equivalent of 7.44 km but I had burned off 1165 kcal according to Wii Fit that is.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange, nectarine and pear.
Lunch: tinned spaghetti with mini sausages on toast, Batternburg and chocolate cake bar.
Dinner: tagliatelle bolognaise and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and fruit juice.
Snack: Maltese chocolate.

This morning I have done an hour jogging on the treadmill before I did half an hour on the rowing machine, which was after I had eaten my breakfast, which I found a pear in today, which was delightful. I felt good about the on coming day. Before my hour jog which was great as I had got to plus ten thousand steps and I had also managed to get further than five miles in the hour, so for tomorrow it will be to see if I can get over 6 miles. Then after that I gave myself a nice relaxing row.

Next up was lunch which was nice but then with the one of my five a day in the sauce to put me on six for the day. Then I have had a lazy afternoon, at least up until after I ate my dinner. But first I had to listen to Allergy tell me that a extremely fat woman had lost a whole me in weight thanks to her having part of her stomach removed but her weight was still more than my weight even at the loss of weight. Then also today Alistar Cook managed to make 147 in his final test innings so that’s made him get a century on his first test and his final test for England, now he’s retired from international cricket. But also Scotland won their first match in the international league.

Day 1851

Day 1851;

My BMI has fallen again 18.37, I have made 13,930 steps which were apparently 9.17 km and I have burned off 1072 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, nectarine and apple.
Lunch: poached egg, bread, butter, cake (sponge with white chocolate and jam), Batternburg and chocolate cake bar.
Dinner: lamb, minted pear, broccoli, green beans, carrots, peas, cauliflower, roasted potatoes and a banoffee tart
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.
Snacks: chocolate buttons and some more of my chocolate box.

Then today I have noticed something which I find disconcerting, I am quite aware that it may just be me that finds it so but I’m going to mention it anyway, it’s to do with cycling and La Vuelta as when I was watching some more on catchup today I noticed that by Geraint Thomas’s name, on a wall, they had the Welsh flag, but then by Ian Stannards name on the same wall they had the British flag; that’s a bit of a double standard if you asked me as I know that Geraint Thomas comes from Wales which is part of the Great British mainland so shouldn’t he have the British Flag up next to his name? Or shouldn’t Ian Stannard have the English flag up next to his, it just perplexes me. Why’s the flag of the dragon, a mythical beast that supposedly struck fear into the hearts of men (I’m meaning the human species), but the flag of an equally mythical man that supposedly slew the beast is no where to be seen?

On this day I have been attempting to make amends for my lacklustre performance, on my watch for yesterday, but when I just checked my watch I had got 18,000 steps for today. Which isn’t enough to make up for yesterday

I have been to the doctors in the morning it wasn’t even a mile away, so we walked into town to visit the doctors. Which surprised Mich as Tini walked me to the doctors. Of which I don’t see the reason to why it’s a shock as didn’t she walk me to the dentist, a few weeks ago?

But it was Julian Alaphilp has succeeded in winning the Tour of Britain, Thibaut Pinot won today’s stage, while Simon Yates keeps the winner’s Jersey. Then England have got off to a good start in the Cricket in the second innings of the final test.

Day 1850

Day 1850;

Today I got 18.62 as my BMI, I had also stepped 15,115 steps which is 9.95 km and I had burned off 1606 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and nectarine.
Lunch: omelette (cheese, tomato, mushroom and ham), salad (lettuce, cucumber and onion) and cake (sponge with white chocolate and jam).
Dinner: fish (cod), broccoli, peas, carrots, potatoes and fruit tart.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and hot chocolate.
Snacks: some tunocks waffer and a Maltese chocolate.

On this day I have had a lazy morning, as it was my first time back at boccia after the summer break. But then after I had been sitting down for the morning, I got up and I sat down again, on a bicycle (or a tandem if I was to be correct), but I cannot wait until Mich gets his”birthday” gift, or at least the one that he wants, as it’s a Zwift thingamajig, which we have been seeing advertised before La Vuelta, over the past about 2 weeks. What is Zwift, you may ask and then if you could find out it’s sort of like the cross between fitness and video games, which are 2 of my favourite things, so it would probably be better suited for me rather than Mich. But here’s the catch he’s the one that has been being hassled over the past few weeks about what he would like for his “birthday” and he has said that he would like a Zwift to prove once and for all who is doing the majority of the work on the tandem. As a Zwift is a software which goes with a turbo trainer which hooks onto the backwheel of a bike and offers resistance to simulate riding on proper roads around actual tracks and on real rides, all from the comfort of your home.

But now for what’s happened today is that England have lost their first National League encounter, which was with Spain, 1-2. But in better news England cricket team is doing pretty well against India, in La Vuelta Simon Yates also won the stage and took himself back into first position in GC and in the Tour of Britain Ian Stannard, a rider for team Sky (and he was also born in Chelmsford, England), won the stage which is the second day in a row for team Sky, on the Tour of Britain.

My laziness of today was on my watch as I had only managed to get to something between 1500 and 2000 steps, which is massively disappointing for me.

Day 1849

Day 1849;

18.46 was my BMI of the day, I had made 25,675 steps which must be the equivalent of 16.91 km and I had burned off 2155 kcal, at least according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and nectarine.
Lunch: toasted sandwich (cheese and pickle) and cake (sponge with white chocolate and strawberry jam).
Dinner: scampi, chips, peas and lemon tart.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.
Snack: Maltese chocolate.

Today I have been on a five mile little stroll while I was rewatching yesterday’s Tour of Britain. Then I was listening to the start of the new day for the Tour of Britain, while I was having myself a little row, before I had a ten minute jog on the treadmill.

Lunch was the next thing I had which was when we ate the cake which was supposed to be eaten yesterday, something to do with the dates and stuff, which reminds me of something that happened earlier on this week. It was GM that was thinking that her bottle of milk that was dated the 11th of September was out of date, I was confused as my watch was telling me that the the date was 5th of September, I attempted to inform her but it took until Mich had returned to explain to her that the milk was still in date.

Yesterday there was also the start of the UEFA Nations League and Wales trounced the Republic of Ireland, 4-1. Then today there was another international friendly between Scotland and Belgium, but unfortunately Belgium won the game in emphatic style, the result was 0-4. But then tomorrow will be the second day in the UEFA Nations League as it is England v Spain, which should probably mean that it’s a Spanish win, but anyway I”ve got to hope that England can get a positive result out of the game, or at least a draw.

Day 1848

Day 1848;

18.81 was my BMI, 11,396 was the number of steps that I took which was the equivalent to 7.51 km and I had burned off 1168 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, grapes, melon, watermelon, apple and orange.
Lunch: toasted sandwich (cheese with white bread), grapes, melon, watermelon, apple, orange and a strawberry tart.
Dinner: salmon, broccoli, peas, carrots, potatoes and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.
Snack: some of GM’s “birthday” cake.

Today I have been watching La Vuelta on catch up, while I was walking on the treadmill, as in the Tour of Britain it has been the team Time Trial (so it was on later than usual). Well I was watching it until the device that I was watching it on ran out of charge, so I went upstairs to put it on charge, then I went out to the treadmill for a half hour jog, before a half hour machine row. On composition of the formentioned exercise I had to get myself showered and dressed as Allergy was making my lunch then but Allergy was too busy knitting for the start to lunch but she arrived in time for the strawberry tart, I have no idea of what else, if anything, she had for lunch. Apparently we weren’t even supposed to have the strawberry tarts for our lunch today, so it looks like I’ve mucked up again.

 I have also been listening to the new Nations League on the radio, which was a great victory for Wales, four to one against the Republic of Ireland. Which was a great score for Wales not such a great score for Ireland, obviously.

Day 1847

Day 1847;

BMI 18.87' I had taken 12,605 steps of which must be 8.30 km and I had managed to burn off 952 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: tinned spaghetti with mini sausages on bread and cake (lemon drizzle).
Dinner: prawn balls, prawn toast, egg fried rice, noodles and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, water and fruit squash.

So today I have been acting as a vaccum to stop the waste of some food such a pity that Tini doesn’t feel like the same,and she just leaves about half of her dinner on her plate, anyone would probably think that I’m the obease one of the two of us, but it’s not the case. It’s not as I do a bit of exercise but then Tini does do the golden mile on occasion, apparently.

But then again I have walked, rowed and jogged a bit each today, I was watching the first bit of the Tour of Britain when I started walking, but then it got to lunchtime so I stopped and I watched the next bit of the Tour in the lounge, until Mich got me for lunch... not by the means or eating me for lunch as in the means of there’s a table that Mich got called me to sit at so that I could eat my lunch.

Then after I had finished my lunch I have forgotten what I did but it included watching the rest of the Tour and saying goodbye to Mich, as he’s off somewhere with his work, for the next day or so long, I cannot remember. Which means that we have had another takeaway dinner tonight, which could be why I gained a bit of weight on yesterday.

Day 1846

Day 1846;

Today my BMI was 18.56, my steps were 8808, I have walked 5.80 km and I have burned 682 kcal, according to Wii Fit. But just to make sure that I have done the required number of steps for today I have just been jogging on the spot and my watch is now up to over 13,000 and Wii Fit is up something like 10,808.

Breakfast: cereal, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
Lunch: pizza pockets, Pringles, banoffee tart, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
Dinner: tomato pasta and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, water and fruit squash.
Snack: a Maltese chocolate.

Now my morning was interesting as I started up by the usual things but then I didn’t manage to make it for a jog, I just managed to get some walks in on the treadmill, and a row on the machine.

The other day a friend of mine told me that she had all muddled up internal organs which got me thinking about where my internal organs are and where they are supposed to be. I get that your heart is supposed to be on the left side of your chest and your lungs are supposed to be behind it, but on both sides, your stomach is supposed to be below that with your bladder beneath it. But I don’t really know how to feel all of the organs apart from lungs while when you breathe in your chest is supposed to get bigger than when you breathe out your chest is supposed to get smaller, which it generally does, then your heart your supposed to be able to feel when you place your hand to your chest, which I do get a beating pattern from my chest , well it’s slightly lower than my left breast. But that’s just me at the moment I don’t know how to feel except the way I do feel, could be part of my selfish discontent, I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel which is why I enjoy films as they basically tell you how you’re supposed to be feeling at almost every turn.

Day 1845

Day 1845;

My BMI was 18.46! I had only made 19,331 steps which was 12.73 km and I’d burned off  2128 kcal  apparently.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and pear.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese with white bread) and cake (lemon drizzle).
Dinner: macaroni cheese, turkey steak and a banoffee tart.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice and water.
Snacks: a pot of strawberries with cream and a Maltese chocolate.

Today I have been on a treadmill jog before I had a gentle row, of which I completed after I had done a little fitness routine, it started off by doing 5 push-ups, 10 crunches, 15 squats, 5 lunges, 10 reverse crunches and a 15 second plank; 5 times.

Now once I had done that it was about time for lunch, which I ate as usual. Before after lunch I went back into the makeshift gym, and I had some more exercise I think it was another jog and then row, but I do believe that I forgot to do another set of 5 of the first exercises, so that was a bit of a disappointment, but then when I had finished the I started warming The Fades, again,I watched the complete first series then I started to watch In The Flesh which is about zombies. So I’ve been watching a lot of zombies in a show called In The Flesh, which is an interesting take in the Zombie formula, with there being a cure to whole Zombie thing which doesn’t involve rekilling the Zombie.

Day 1844

Day 1844;

My BMI was 18.68, my number of steps were 12,790 meanwhile my distance walked was 8.42 km and I managed to burn off  1269 kcal today, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple and nectarine.
Lunch: chicken, bacon, sausages, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, roast potatoes and lemon meringue pie.
Dinner: omelette (cheese and ham), Tunocks wafer,  cake (lemon drizzle) and Batternburg.
Drinks: milk, fruit juice, Lucozade sport (orange) and hot chocolate.

Today I have had a short treadmill walk as a start, well it was only a just over 6000 steps one as I was thinking that today should be my rest day of the week, as isn’t that what professional athletes do, they have some down time  or they have a rest day (or two).

Well it was a rest day for me today and I have done some skiing on this day. But today while I was skiing I only managed to stack it twice, both times was when I was going backwards down the slope, I first stacked it as my left leg just suddenly gave way on me, I have no idea what happened to it but I’m thinking that I somehow must have caught my left ski on something as the second time that I stacked it was because I had tapped my right ski on a snowboard, and that sent me on another little tumble. But if you ski your always told to always put the downhill ski on first, what a load of balderdash, as when you’ve got one ski on and the other off then you don’t bother with that and you just put the other ski on, well I do at least.

But then in sports today it was a good day if you’re English, as a start an English man won the Grand Prix, in Italy, Lexis Hamilton managed to get past both of the Ferrari’s to win in Italy (which is where Ferrari initially came from, when Enzo Ferrari back in 1939 created it from Alfa Romeo’s race division), then in Cricket today England was victorious against the Indian’s (not American Indians the actual people of the country of India, you know in Asia), then Matt Wallace managed to win a four way playoff to win the Made in Denmark golfing competition before finally Simon Yates managed to pick up the leaders jersey in La Vuelta today (I know it’s said that he’s a British road/track cyclist, but it also says he’s from Manchester which is in England).

But now typing about Manchester, Manchester United managed to scrape by a win against Burnley 0-2, Arsenal managed beat Cardiff City 2-3 and then Tottenham managed to lose their unbeaten record this season by losing to Watford 2-1. So now the top of the Premier League looks Liverpool has won their first 4 games is in first on 12 points, Chelsea is in second position with 12 points and has also won their first 4 games and then in third spot of the league it’s Watford who have also won their first 4 league games and are on 12 points. 

Day 1843

Day 1843;

My BMI was 18.27, I knew I had done 10,000 steps from my watch as I had just done a treadmill walk worth 10,000 steps but I’m guessing that the majority of the 39,243 steps that I did today was on the tandem but that number of steps must be the equivalent of 25.84 km and I had burned off 3118 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange,nectarine and pear.
Lunch: omelette (cheese, ham and mushroom) and some Batternburg.
Dinner: gammon, broccoli, peas, carrots, green beans, potatoes and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water, Lucozade sport (orange), shandy (beer and lemonade) and hot chocolate.
Snacks: Maltese chocolate and some malted milk biscuits.

So today I have been out on a tandem ride, on the ride we conquered the hill of boxes, in a new personal best time. But it may have been the slowest time of the day, at least until we found someone slower than us had given it a go later on in the day, by the time that we uploaded our ride data we were at something like 34 out of 34 but now we’re at about 42 of 45.

Then when we had gotten home I checked my watch, I had only taken 499 steps so that had to be remedied. I decided to give myself another walk on the treadmill which was just over 10,000 steps in just under 1 hour 25 minutes.

Now the reason why I am drinking these shandy’s nowadays is because Mich received them from a neighbour, he tried 3 and he didn’t like them so now he’s fobbing them off on me, but as shandy’s. It’s almost the same with these biscuits that he’s giving to me to eat with a mug of hot chocolate, as he was saying it’s to stop him from eating them as he has been getting a better BMI as of recent days, like today he managed to reach his BMI goal again, and he said that it was down to the 60 mile that we had done today 

Day 1842

Day 1842;

My BMI was 18.34, steps were 11,879 as I had walked 7.82 km and I had burned off 1205 kcal, so it was another bad day for my Wii Fit as I have dropped another bit of weight and I hadn’t even taken that many steps,
.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange, nectarine and pear.
Lunch: hot dog and doughnut.
Dinner: spaghetti bolognaise, strawberries, chocolate trifle and chocolate.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water, shandy (beer and lemonade) and hot chocolate.

So I started my day off with a short thirty minute jog then I did another fourty minute row, on the rowing machine. I don’t remember how much time I spent on the trampoline afterwards, but it wasn’t a lot, if any.

Then I have had a lazy day until the afternoon when Tini took me to the gym. Where I had a go on a Lateral X trainer and an exercise bike, then we went to the shops but I stayed in the car, as I smelt bad.

Day 1841

Day 1841;

My BMI has dropped again to beneath the healthy weight, it was 18.43, my Wii Fit steps were 21,901 my distance walked was 14.42 km and I had burned off 1816 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, nectarine, apple and pear.
Lunch: cheese + pickle toasted sandwich, Batternburg and chocolate cake.
Dinner: salmon, carrots, green beans, potatoes, strawberries and summer trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and hot chocolate.

I maybe a nut job but, and here goes he’s added the backside word (backsliding all the way to where I don’t know), Red you’ve really put me off from what I was about to type... thanks a lot Red...  well it just seemed to be an excuse to me, and I couldn’t be bothered with another one of those so I’m glad you’ve forgotten what it was.

Now today I have had a little jog on the treadmill, a row on the rowing machine and I have finally been on a cycle. The rest of the day kind of fades into irrelevance, as what does it have to do with my completion of my goals.

Then I have also watched some stuff now it was going to be La Vuelta as I have got a bit of catching up to watch, I unfortunately haven’t really been up to watching it though, instead I have been watching a bit more of the Doctor Who box-set and then some of The Fades, or I’ve been rewatching the Doctor Who box-set and I am currently thinking that I am also rewatching The Fades, as I seem to have seen it before I think.

Day 1840

Day 1840;

BMI was 18.56 today, which is in the ideal range again, steps were higher than yesterday at 13,664 my distance walked was 9.00 km and I had burned off 1472 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, apple, orange, banana and pear.

Lunch: tinned baked beans, mint sausages, bread and cake.

Dinner: chicken, rice, carrots, peas, broccoli, sweetcorn, summer trifle and tunocks wafer.

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

Snacks: some biscuits.

This morning I got up and went downstairs to eat breakfast, next up I went on the treadmill twice, once for a 30 minute stroll and the other time was for a jog, the walk I did just under 4000 steps so that means that I’d have done 4000 steps and then the other I’d done just over 5000 steps l make that to 5000 steps, so what is 4000 + 5000 which gets you to 9000, then I have also done 2 little rows, which were 1800 steps or strokes and the other was about 2000 steps or strokes so that when added together gets 3800 + 9000 gets you to 13,800 by my watch for today, before lunch.

Then after lunch I have been waiting for Tini’s arrival, as I was told that she’d be taking me to the gym on her arrival so I got myself dressed in some appropriate clothing, so I got myself dressed, in appropriate clothes. After I’d washed the sweat off of myself, as I had already done about 13,800 steps by my watch.

So it was 9 fruits and vegetables but 10 if I include the portion that apparently came with my lunch as  in the tins of beans and spaghetti it says in the side this pack contains 1 of your 5 a day. But that is another one of my obsessions, healthy eating probably as I could guess that it has become an obsession of mine, the same with my weight, or my BMI.

Day 1839

Day 1839:

My BMI is 19,46 today, I have only managed to step 9421 times which was 6.20 km but I have also managed to burn off 1196 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, apple, orange, banana and pear.
Lunch: omelette (cheese) and a After Eight Mousse.
Dinner: pie (chicken), carrots, peas, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, tiramisu and chocolate.
Drinks: milk, water, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (raspberry) and hot chocolate.

I know I stated that my life revolves around food and fitness yesterday, but why does it revolve around those two things? Is what I am wanting to type about, in part today. Now my life revolves around food as doesn’t everyone’s? From the first time we all came out of our mothers what’s our first instinct? It’s to eat, I’m betting that even Jesus, if he was real, first though was food when he came out of Mary, and then Mary would have been there to put him to her breast and feed him as it’d be her mothering instincts kicking into action, and then what happened to him by the end of the story would be on his head. As are all of ours I’m taking none of this victim mentality stuff as there’s always a choice you may not like the choice but then you have to make one and inactivity is a choice also as if you are given a choice option one is to kill one man, option two is to kill a woman and then there’s the choice of neither then probably both would die like when Batman had his choice to save either Harvey Dent or Rachel Dawes he chose to save Rachel but he ended up killing her instead and saving Harvey, or Two Face, instead and inactivity would have killed them both but then you could say that the Joker really killed them as it would be technically correct but that is just an excuse, a poor excuse at that, it won’t bring her back you made a choice and it’s up to you to deal with the fall out I know that the blame may not fall solely on your shoulders but what happened has happened and it’s in the past, just accept the facts and move forward with your life.

But now I think I have gone slightly off topic in the previous statement, now where was I? Fitness I was just about to get to fitness so here goes, fitness is to help me in being the best me possible and to hopefully get to the Paralympics or the Olympics. So I can win a gold medal and then I’ll allow myself to ask for the hand of the beautiful woman, so then I could potentially make her dreams a reality, which were to have two children, one male and one female. And I would quite like to experience love, love making, sex and everything that goes with it, even parenthood, and who better to get taught by than a girl that I was told that I loved by another girl way back in school?

Then I have also had another snowboard lesson today, and Tina filmed a bit of the lesson, on the film I didn’t stack it. But I collided with a skier at the bottom, slightly. But snowboarding is fun, the drive to the place is terrible I cannot understand how some people actually enjoy driving. 

Day 1838

Day 1838;

BMI was 18.34, 14,784 steps which was 9.74 km and I burned off 1575 kcal according to Wii Fit. But my watch told me a different story, as I was getting buzzed for my daily step goal X2 just as I was having a short brisk walk slightly earlier on.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, orange,grapes, banana and apple.
Lunch: omelette (cheese), cucumber and chocolate cake.
Dinner: toad in the hole, sweet potato mash, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, peas and double chocolate sundae.
Drinks: milk, water, fruit squash, fruit juice and hot chocolate.
Snacks: a Maltese chocolate,

So I have had another 90 minute walk this morning which was followed by a 20 minute row, on the rowing machine. Which was contrasted by the 45 minute row with the 10 minute brisk walk I did later on just before dinner. But in between those two bits of exercise I have been lazy, at least I think that I have. As my day in between has kind of faded away from my memory.

Ok I have got no idea what I have done today apart from the above mentioned things, which were eating and fitness, which pretty much sums up my life; nowadays at least. It wouldn’t be a thing without food and fitness. It’s a simple life one which I share, with you and everyone that is like you/people who have nothing better to do with their own time. Which I think is about all of two people, so no hard feelings.

Day 1837

Day 1837;

18.78
13,527 steps
8.91 km
973 kcal

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, apple, pear, nectarine and grapes.
Lunch: lasagna, chips, lettuce and tiramisu.
Dinner: carrot soup, bread (white) and slices of cake.
Drinks: milk, water, fruit squash and hot chocolate.

So I’ve basically had a little one pack since January by that I mean that I’ve had my upper left side of my abdomen kind of there sticking out of my stomach area, only a little bit, and I have been attempting to make it more defined and the whole of my abs which I had managed to get my abdomen more defined since yesterday I think that I had managed to increase my abs to 2, 1 for my upper and 1 for my lower abdomen.

Today I have been listening to the radio, and one of the stories was about the Pope as he’s on his visit to Ireland and he’s been talking about the paedophile priests. But I signed to Mich “Why is the pope apologising to God?” his response was somewhat sarcastic, I think, by saying because he believes in a God. But then I attempted to clarify by typing what has the members of his organisation ever done to God? Which is nothing he should be apologising to the many people whose lives have been effected by the perverted priests, because if God existed it’d probably be fine with abuse performed by the many of its followers as isn’t he supposed to be all knowing, always present and couldn’t he just step in at any second to avoid any of the unpleasantness, just as they say he did in the Bible? As in the Bible isn’t there that tale where children take the mic out of its prophet Job then God sends a bear to maul the children?

Also I have watched the Grand Prix which was a bit of a non race minus the first lap which saw the incident that put out of the race something like 6 of the racers, then again as soon as that happened the race for the win never really got started as Sebastian Vettel got past Lewis Hamilton on the first lap and he just stayed there for the whole race.

Day 1836

Day 1836:

18.75 as my BMI, I had done 12,860 steps which gave me a distance of 8.48 km and I have burned off 979 kcal today, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, grapes, banana, orange and banana.
Lunch: ham + eggs on toast (white bread), Batternburg and I’ve forgotten.
Dinner: lasagna, lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and summer trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and hot chocolate.

So today has been a bit of a mix on the card of fortune. As for a start I know I have managed to reach my step goal for Wii Fit but on my watch I have only managed to get up to something like 4000, due to today’s little cycle ride. Then again I went to watch another football match but the team I went to watch lost, but Mich’s team managed to get a draw today. But then again I didn’t manage to get myself anything done today fitness related, other than the cycle and my abs had just started to take shape, well the upper and lower each have their own half now which is now separated, just about 5 months too late, if I want to get it to 6 by the end of the year; which I do.

Day 1835

Day 1835;

So today my BMI was 18.81, my steps were 15,018 which gave me a distance of 9.89 km and a total calorie burn off of 932 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, grapes and apple.

Lunch: tinned spaghetti hoops with sausages on toast (white bread) and Batternburg.

Dinner: ham, egg, chips, peas and something.

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

Snacks: sweets (Percy Pigs and Pals)

Now today I have finished the pack of sweets that I have been eating over the past few days. But I have also been thinking about whether I brushed my teeth this morning or not, as I thought that I did but then again I had a nagging doubt in the back of my mind before lunch, so I decided that I had as the sink was a mess and I had cleaned it after I used it yesterday, but just to put my mind to ease I decided to use the mouthwash.

Then I went on a walk to visit GM, the first thing she commented on was my outfit that Tini had put together just before I left, as Tini had stopped me from leaving until I changed into a brown polo shirt with my brown trousers.

When I had woken up I decided to go on a 90 minute treadmill walk before a 20 minute row. After that 110 minutes of exercise I was lazy until the walk.

Day 1834

Day 1834;

BMI was 18.65, steps 21,666, 14.27 km and 1549 kcal, according to Wii Fit, but the watch is telling me differently only 16,040 steps, 15.1 km walked but over 35 km rode on a tandem 3316 kcal burned.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, apple, orange, banana and peach.

Lunch: sandwich (cheese and ham in white bread), tomatoes, grapes and Batternburg.

Dinner: sausages, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, runner beans, rice and tiramisu.

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

Snacks: sweets (Percy Pigs and pals) and a Maltese chocolate.

This morning I have got up then I went downstairs for my breakfast, which was the usual cereal and a bowl of fruit and then I went upstairs to get myself changed into some gym attire. Following that I went back downstairs into the makeshift gym, when I started off by having a 20 minute row before I took a slow treadmill walk, it was only about a mile long in just over half an hour, usually it takes me less than 20 minutes to walk just as far but I was feeling a bit lazy this morning, then I went on the trampoline for the rest of the hour, which woke me up slightly, I think as I managed to do a little 20 minute jog on the treadmill which was before I finished off my exercise morning in another 20 minute row, so according to my watch I had done over 14,000 steps before lunchtime, but then again about 4000 of them I had done on the rowing machine. So that probably means that they wouldn’t count on the Wii Fit.

This morning before breakfast I have done 20 press-ups, 20 crunches, 20 of the backwards roll type things, 20 heel taps, 20 straight arm crunches and 20 of the wind screen wipers exercise. I did pretty much the same again once I had finished my dinner, tonight. But in between the two sets of exercises, I have been on another cycle but also somewhere along the lines I have caught a cold, a summer cold, but I don’t think that it is hay fever, as why would it be the fever of dry grass it’s rained quite significantly earlier in the day.

Day 1833

Day 1833;

BMI was 18.56, steps 13,959 I had walked 9.19 km and I had burned off 1118 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal.
Lunch: sandwich (roasted vegetables in a red onion loaf), a pot of grapes and sweets (Percy Pigs and pals).
Dinner: pasta bolognaise, bread and a mini chocolate cheesecake.
Drinks: milk, water , Lucozade sport (mango and passion fruit), fruit squash, fruit juice and hot chocolate.
Snacks: nectarine, apple, orange, banana.

On this day I have been to a hospital in London, in order to get my eyes sorted, it has worked again. But I don’t get why practically all of my Doctors like me, I know it’s kind of their job but some doctors can hate their patients e.g. my GM, she always knows what’s best for her, even when she doesn’t, she just seems to be rude to her doctors, from what I have heard; like by her saying to their faces “well you can prescribe it for me but I’m not going to get it, then I think someone else like Allergy picks it up for her then I assume she takes it. But this doctor apparently loves me, I don’t know why but it’s just something that Tini says when I go to get injections to the eyelids, but getting injections made into your eyelids is actually fun, in my opinion.

Now I know I have had a slightly lazy day today even though I had walked some 8000 steps, through the streets of London. I had to get some steps in on the treadmill, so I did a 40 minute slow walk which got me about 4000 steps, and then I did a 20 minute row which got me about 1800 steps for my watch I cannot see how many steps it got me for Wii Fit but I am betting about none, as I didn’t make any steps, while I was on the rowing machine.

Day 1832

Day 1832;

My BMI was a worrying 18.18, well it would be worrying if I actually cared about it, and I did 20,817 steps which were 13.71 km and I burned off 1558 kcal

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, nectarine, orange and peach.
Lunch: chicken pie, broccoli,green beans, carrots and summer trifle.
Dinner: ham sandwich, sponge cake, sponge cake with fruit inside and Batternburg.
Drinks: milk, water, fruit squash, fruit juice, Lucozade sport (raspberry) and hot chocolate.
Snacks: 3 chocolate biscuits and 1 Maltese chocolate.

Now today I haven’t got a cycle to look forward to, instead I’ve got a football match to get off to watch, and what a football match it was.

But first up I have got to get to the treadmill for a 30 minute jog, before I had a 10 minute row. Of which I did before going off to the kitchen in order to get myself a drink of water. By doing that much before I had my second drink of the day, as I had already had my cereal, fruit and a mug of milk, per usual. Then I set up another 50 minute walk on the treadmill before another 10 minute row before my first mug of fruit squash of the day. Which was my mornings activity I’m intensifying my daily routine as my goal for the year is seemingly no further to be completed.

But then I got surprised just after lunch, as Tini telephoned up saying would I like to go to the gym today, as my answer was obviously, yes, well my answer to Mich who was being my interpreter was a vigorous nod of my head. So I went to the gym, it was on the Lateral X trainer and the exercise bike, as they are both 2 of the safest pieces of equipment for me to go on, for when I’m fundamentally blind, but then again it comes and goes, like for when I’m moving my eyes close but when I was sat at the football match, as a spectator my eyes weren’t playing up, too badly, 

The game was epic, well it was the most epic game that I have ever been to, the team scored a scrappy opening goal but the second goal they scored had nothing scrappy about it, as they scored a blinder, I do believe that is how I probably should define it, as it was a shot from outside of the box to the left side of the box and it just got smashed into the bottom right hand side of the goal. But then the third goal before half time, it was a headed finish.

The second half started the goals didn’t come as quickly, but the team managed to keep their scoring boots on for the first of the second half. But then that wasn’t it for the team as they managed to get another 2 goals in the game without conceding, which made the result 6-0.

But then I had returned home and I stepped onto the Wii balance board and it told me that my BMI was 18.18, now that must be unheard of, for me at least, well at least for this edition of Wii Fit as I’m thinking that I may have gone under that number when I first started it when the original came out. But I wasn’t as obsessed back then I do believe. 

Day 1831

Day 1831;

My BMI today was 18.62, 14,968 steps, 9.86 km, 1186 kcal burned off, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and plum.

Lunch: sandwich (cheese and pickle with white bread) and cake.

Dinner: tomato pasta, cheese and something.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot chocolate.

So today I have got myself ready to go for a treadmill walk earlish on in the morning, but then I hadn’t got my act together early enough so I only had a 40 minute walk on the treadmill before I had myself a 10 minute row on the rowing machine. Which got my watch’s steps up to over 5000 but my Wii Fit meter has only got something like 4500 steps on it, before lunchtime, so I should probably just have to do it (40 minute walk before a 10 minute row) again after lunch to get myself up to 10,000 steps, on my watch at least.

Now for this afternoon I’ll either be going to the gym or on another tandem ride apparently. I’m thinking it’s more likely to be a tandem ride but before that I should probably get back on the treadmill, so I did have another little routine like before, which was before I had a short ride out on a tandem with Mich and today I broke my record on the freedom from god sprint, which I am pleased with.

Day 1830

Day 1830:

As my BMI for today was 18.78, steps 17,412 which was 11.47 km and 1388 kcal that is apparently done today, at least according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, orange, banana, plum, apple, nectarine and blueberries.
Lunch: chicken, sausages, bacon, peas, broccoli, carrots, green beans, cabbage, roast potatoes, bread sauce and apple crumble with cream and ice-cream.
Dinner: sandwich (cheese), cake and an After 8 mousse.
Drinks: milk, fruit juice, fruit squash and cider.
Snack: tiramisu slice (cake).

So I’d eaten my breakfast this morning which was my first 6 out of 5 for today. Then I went out with Mich, and the cycling club, well at least the rable that goes out on a tea and cakes ride, which was where I had my delicious snack, and fruit juice (but that wasn’t either tea or cake). But I know that cycling is good for my Wii Fit steps but it’s not so for my watch which maybe due to my hand being fastened to the handlebars of the bike for the duration of the cycles, but I doubt that has much of an impact as your arms are supposed to be in front of you kind of attached to the the handlebars, arn’t they, while you’re riding a bicycle. But yesterday I saw 2 penny farthings and a bike with a chariot on its back outside Tesco, which I only remembered just today as Mich was talking to a cyclist about penny farthings, at the tea and cakes stop.

But then according to my watch, I have only done 2937 steps, at least from the moment of me typing this. But I’d probably have done more by the time that I have gone and brushed my teeth, which I still haven’t done; yet as I type this paragraph. But today I have traveled about 27 miles, (or 45 km), as on the tandem I did just more than 26 miles (42 km) before I wimped out of doing another one of my 5 mile treadmill walks, when I only did 1 mile, in 20 minutes.

Day 1829

Day 1829:

My BMI was 18.71, and I had made 18,450 steps which was equivalent to 12.15 km and I have burned off 1556 kcal today, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange, nectarine and plum.
Lunch: sausage roll, sandwich (cheese with white bread) and an apple turnover.
Dinner: macaroni cheese, turkey drummers and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (raspberry), cider and hot chocolate.

Now that’s what I did yesterday, I started thinking about the world and how it smells good and proper, well that was how it smelt 2 days ago, then it smelt similar for brief periods in the afternoon, then again today it’s smelt similar to yesterday. Ad this infernal summer cold of mine was all gone 2 days ago, so I was thinking that it had gone for another year, but then it’d come back, yesterday but it left me alone for a few brief moments before bedtime and it’s back again today.

Now today I have been for a treadmill walk, it was a pleasant enough experience, it had me walking somewhere over 12,000 steps which I think is a decent enough starting spot, for my day.

Then after lunch I went to the gym, but I was as good as blind today in the gym so I only went on the Lateral X trainer and an exercise bike. But it was a good time that I had inside the gym.

Today I have also used my inhaler, for the second time in 2 days but I first felt that I needed it yesterday morning and then I felt that I needed it again just now/before I went to bed. Apparently Tini has been telling me that I have been needing it all day, but then I haven’t been noticing the same effect all day, I have just decided to use it because all of the other times that I started weezing I have stopped a short time afterwards, but this time it was more disruptive. So now I’m having to go back to the doctors place to see what will be happening to me.

Day 1828

Day 1828:

My BMI was  18.65, I had taken 24,468 steps which was equivalent to 16.11 km and I had burned off 1523 kcal, today apparently.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange, nectarine and plum.
Lunch: sausages, mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots
Dinner: sandwich (cheese + ham), blueberries, strawberries, egg custard and chocolate eclair.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice, ginger ale and hot chocolate.
Snacks: scone (butter and jam) and some chocolate biscuits.

Today I had traveled just about 26 miles by about lunchtime, but I had only taken 153 steps, according to my watch. This was as I had gone out with Mich on the tandem to my aunts house, where we had our snacks and I had myself a mug of ginger ale, which was because their is a lack of CO2 for there to be enough for ginger beer, apparently, but there seems to be enough for coke? As Tini has been getting that for herself, and that doesn’t seem to be in short supply?

So I had to remedy the situation, I did that by walking another 8 km on the treadmill just after lunch. That was my activity for the day, I think at least. The only other things I done today have been playing on my iPad's, other than that I’ve forgotten.

Day 1827

Day 1827;

For today my BMI was 18.53, I had taken 12,482 steps which was 8.22 km and I burned off 866 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange, plum and nectarine.

Lunch: tinned spaghetti with sausages and bread.

Dinner: gammon, cauliflower, peas, carrots, green beans, baked potato with cheese and apple pie with cream.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot chocolate.

Now today I have been a bit lazy by that I mean that I have gone to the gym and I have had a tiny little walk on the treadmill, but what else have I done? I have been on my iPad playing a load of games like Suduko while I have been lead on the floor, like a lazyboy. I should be really ashamed of myself.

But I’ve forgotten what else I have done today, so I should be doublely ashamed of myself.

Day 1826

Day 1826;

I have had a BMI of 18.50 again, I returned to a decent weight after my blip under yesterday,  I had walked enough steps, in 1,119, but I had walked a pitiful distance in 7.32 km and I have only burned off a 869 kcal, pitiful.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.
Lunch: omelette (ham, cheese and mushroom), salad (lettuce, carrots, sweetcorn, cucumber and tomatoes), chocolate mini roll and chocolate chip shortbread.
Dinner: lasagna, salad (lettuce, carrots, sweetcorn, cucumber and tomatoes), chips and tiramisu.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, coke (Pepsi) and hot chocolate. 

So today I have been to the gym, and I did have another little walk on the treadmill, the walk was only a 40 minute wander, on the treadmill. But I have been listening to an internet radio station today as I was intrigued by the status of Jeremy Corbyn, on his position to laying a wreath at a Martyrs ceremony for the terrorists of the Munich Massacre, but he has stated that he was there but he didn’t do anything yesterday at least, but today he has clarified his position of being there, which is a backtrack, by saying that he now was there and he did lay a wreath but it was for all of the victims of the attack. Not the terrorists, or Martyrs, which the whole ceremony was for, in the first place.

Then today I have been to the gym , but within my half an hour go on the Lateral X (cross) trainer then half hour on an exercise bike, I realised that I still hadn’t managed to get to my step goal for the day, so I went on a 40 minute stroll on the treadmill, which had the remaining 4,000 steps for me to make it to 10,000 steps. Before the session on this treadmill Tini made some “disparaging” remarks about me, at least I think that’s how I should view them, but if it’s Japan I’m aiming for which should be in about twenty five months time then I believe that I should probably be doing more.

Day 1825

Day 1825;

My BMI for today was 18.40, which is my first one for this edition of Wii Fit that I have got an underweight BMI, but my steps for today was 28,762 and my distance walked was 18.94 km as I burned off 1872 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and strawberries.
Lunch: egg, prawn, bread, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and some pastries.
Dinner: eggs, prawns, bread, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and tiramisu.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot chocolate.

Today was an interesting day due to my cycling trip that I did this morning, it was a little slightly more than 39 mile ride which was apparently done at an average speed of 15 mph but as I was going along I was attempting, using my watch, to get the speed that I was traveling at, as I got that I had only managed to get to 30 mile something like 2:01 hours:minutes, which is a whole minute down on where I should have been to be at 15 mph average speed, and we still had the little hill to get up before we arrived at home. But then we had that little spot where we set off the speed trap, whoops, but on that place we didn’t manage to reach a new personal best time in that segment.

So it was that I did in the morning then in the afternoon I went for a treadmill wander, it was only another little one though. I was only doing it to get my steps up, on my watch, as I had only done 133 steps by the time that I had completed the cycle. But then Mich has already organised another cycle ride for us to do next weekend, it’s with the cycling club that we aren’t members of, at least not yet, but they take pity on us from time to time and they invite us along with them, it gives Mich someone to talk to, someone that can respond and he doesn’t get irritated by the response, like by saying that was too aggressive of a grunt, which my responses are often characterised as, when I’m sitting there on the back thinking to myself, “was I too aggressive? You can’t be serious” then I’ll generally get frustrated by his accusations, and I just have to blow off steam, by peddling.

Day 1824

Day 1824;

My BMI was 18.50, which is just on the lower limits of having an ideal BMI, 14:276 steps which was 9.40 km and I had burned off 1067 kcal.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash and fruit juice.

Today I have had an inactive morning, with me just getting myself ready for a snowboarding lesson which I had this afternoon which I had before I ate my lunch, which I had on the return journey from the snowboarding place to home. I hate beginners slopes, why can’t they just have you up on the proper slope from day one I know they want to make sure you’re safe enough for your safety and for everyone else on the slope, but that’s why you need a massive slope, just one but make it massive so then you could have all of the noobs skiing and snowboarding on the same slope but the more experienced could just go from higher up on the piste, and as they are more experienced they should be able to avoid the noobs, simple, especially as it’s big enough to avoid them.

5-10 hours of lesson time is what he said it should take people to get up to good enough standard, for something I think, well that was my 3rd hour of instruction. Now I wonder how different it will be if I get my sight back, to a better standard before, and if I have another shot at Snowboarding. But the point about their not being a separate slope for noobs is so I could then just have a go on the proper slope with a snowboard and I could show the man what I can do on a Snowboard uninhibited by the lacking of the slope how good would I be on a slope like that? Probably shite but it would be more interesting.

Day 1823

Day 1823;

18.75= BMI,
15,592= steps,
10.27 km= distance,
1380 kcal= burned calories.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, orange and strawberries.
Lunch: I’ve forgotten.
Dinner: meat I think, green beans, broccoli, carrots, some other vegetables and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, cider and hot chocolate.

Now what did I do today? I started off by eating breakfast, then I waited for a bit before I got onto the treadmill, and I did a 100 minute walk, which was my 10,000 steps for today.

Following that I have had a lazy afternoon until Mich and I went on a couple of wanders to visit GM and GAK. That was about it that I did today. At the very least that is all that I remember doing.

Day 1822

Day 1822;

18.81= my BMI, 16,985= my steps, 11.19 km= my distance walked and 1378 kcal= my calories burned off according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple, strawberries and orange.

Lunch: sandwich (cheese and pickle in white bread) and something.

Dinner: spaghetti bolognaise and summer trifle.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash and cider.

Today there was no boccia so I had a treadmill walk to start off my day, which was fun. Then I got onto the rowing machine for 10% of the time that I had spent on the treadmill.

Then next up it was time for me to go to watch a football match, which the team that I had gone to support actually won. They won their first home game of the season, it was amazing. Now they’re something like seventh in the league, but I’m unsure if all of the teams have played as many games as them, yet. But then in the Premier League yesterday Manchester United was knocked off the top spot from Fridays result against Leicester City, by a result of 2-0 by Bournemouth before they were displaced by Chelsea with a 3-0 score against Huddersfield. But tomorrow should be interesting as in the Premier League we’ve got Arsenal vs Manchester City, and Arsenal have got their first new manager for a long time leading them, it’s a baptism of fire as the majority of pundits are expecting Manchester City to walk away with the title again this season.

Day 1821

Day 1821;

My BMI was 18.62, I had walked 10,880 steps which were 7.16 km and I have burned 1392 kcal, according to Wii Fit. But my watch told me that I had done quite a few more steps than the just over ten thousand steps my Wii Fit meter was telling me I’d done.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.

Lunch: tin of spaghetti with sausages, Batternburg and cherry Bakewell.

Dinner: meat pie, broccoli, peas, green beans, some other green stuff and chocolate trifle.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.

Now today I have been on the treadmill for a 5 km jog before I went for a 5 minute row which I did inturn before I had a 5 minute bounce, just before I did another 20 minute jog and finally a 5 minute row. That Is my day in fitness, at least I think it was my day in fitness. As I’ve been thinking about a tale to tell, not that I can actually tell it. Other than that I had a lazy day, so I probably won’t be good enough to compete on the international stage anytime soon, so Manel you’re fine, now that you wouldn’t be even if I got myself good enough as you’d just need to decline my advances.

Now what the thing about Manel is that I have promised her, at least I think that I have, that if I ever get up to an Olympic or Paralympic standard for any sport, I will have the confidence that I can provide for her and I wouldn’t be the total waste of space that I currently am, I will then ask her out on a date.as in a girlfriend boyfriend type of thing. Now from then I am going to do my best to “woo” her at least I think that is the correct way to put it as she once told me that she has a dream or it’s on her bucket list for her to become a mother of two children, one male and the other female, and I also know that she wants to be married before that instance, to provide the best for the kids, and I knew that at the time of the topic coming up in conversation between the two of us I that she hadn’t got herself a new boyfriend yet, so that could have all changed by now I’ll be the first to admit. But then I have still got my goal to work for, which maybe to win an Olympic or Paralympic gold, it’s just for additional incentive that I have decided to put the goal in one of my best friends courts.

Day 1820

Day 1820;

My BMI was 18.81, I had taken 18,952 steps which was 12.48 km and I have burned 1371 kcal off, at least according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.
Lunch: sandwich (chicken in white bread), cherry Bakewell and Batternburg.
Dinner: lasagna, chips and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.
Snacks: muller fruit corner yogurt and a Maltese chocolate.

Then today I have started off by having another walk, which ended in a slight jog. Of which I did while I was watching “Britain’s Fat Fight with Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall” this morning.

In the last episode he mentioned that he failed all of the goals that he set out with, which were as in the title it was a show about Britain’s fat fight so for it to have been a success then we wouldn’t have been any higher/lower than second (we wouldn’t be first) in the league tables of how fat nations are but by the end of the 3 part series we had got up/down to first, out of Europe.

Next up I ate my lunch and afterwards I went over to the gym, where I had half an hour on the lateral trainer then I finished off my work out session on an exercise bike.

Day 1819

Day 1819;

18.94 was my BMI for today I had walked 21,192 steps which were 13.96 km and I have burned off 1490 kcal.

Breakfast; cereal, banana, strawberries, apple and grapes.
Lunch: sandwich (chicken, lettuce, tomato with white bread), banana, orange, Batternburg and cherry Bakewell.
Dinner:King prawn fried rice, chicken chow mien, sweet and sour king prawn balls, chips, vegetable spring roles, sesame prawn toast and summer fruit trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and water.

I’ve just had another little wander on the treadmill, it was only a 5 mile small trek and I have weighed myself on the shower rooms scale 56.5 kg was what they said. Which when I was using the NHS’s BMI health checker thing I had a BMI of 17.8, but then I shrunk myself to the size that I had on my Wii character, before yesterday, and I my BMI was 18.3 which is still underweight but this time only by point 2, so I will probably have to wear some heavier clothes for my Body Test later on today, as well as eat more.

Anyway I am thinking that an average British person is 5 foot 10 inches or 177.5 cm (but I thought that was 5 foot 11 inches [as 5 times 30 is 150 then 11 times 2.5 is 27.5 so when you add them both up you get 177.5] as 30 cm = 1 foot and 2.5 cm = 1 inch, or so I was taught at school) but they weigh 12 stone 5 pounds or 78.5 kg which gives you a massive BMI of 24.8, at least I was guessing it due to the examples on the NHS BMI health checker thing, but I have since checked the BBC’s article about just that but it is 8 years old so I’m guessing that it’s slightly out of date by now, so I’ve attempted to get a more up to date version.

After I ate my dinner I decided to have a jog around the back garden, for 30 minutes which got me to double my daily steps. I have been watching “Britain’s Fat Fight with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall” on the internet, within the first episode it started off by saying we’re on our way to becoming the fattest country in Europe, aren’t we already? 

Day 1818

Day 1818;

18.87 was my BMI, I remembered to switch up my height to the correct level, I had made 11,934 steps which was 7.73 km and I had burned off 571 kcal today,according to Wii Fit. 

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, nectarine and apple.

Lunch: hotdogs, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and a chocolate eclair.

Dinner: macaroni cheese and fruit trifle.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and cider.

Snacks: grapes.

Now this morning I have been thinking about what I had been doing for the morning, as I couldn’t remember. Eventually I came to the conclusion that I must have been thinking at least one of two things, if not both. Which were the woman that I have some strange feelings of which I believe are called affection and the second is skiing. The second one of the two is obviously as Mich has booked for the four of us to go skiing again in the new year, but the first being the object of my affection, now that just seems to be wrong as she isn’t an object at least not an object that is external to a thinking mind, but she is of “this/my” thinking mind (if I be so bold), as she has got one , a mind, but she is made up of materials that can be seen or touched not that I have ever done much of the touching, I don’t think at least, as the only people that I can remember touching from in school was all of the people that I had fought with/played sport with like rugby or roller hockey, but I may have managed to tap her on her shoulder a couple of times. I have never really been one for physical contact in a non sporting manner, I do believe.

Now the object or person of my affection I am unsure of how it started but I can remember being teased at school for “loving” her but I have never made love to her, not even have I had the intercourse of sex with her; as I’m currently to the understanding that they are both separate instances. Well you can’t make love without having sex but you can have sex without making love, but even if I was to believe that the person was inferring to the other meaning of love. Of which I cannot fathom as of her reasoning to why it was me that loved the object/person of my current affections, affections are “1. A feeling of fondness or liking.” Which of this woman I do like her, quite a bit, as she’s one of my best friends. 

So today I have been to the place where boccia has been on, but no it wasn’t on today, not that we had been told it was just a waste, of time, fuel, money and whatever else. So I got nothing done for my fitness. At least not before lunch, then in the afternoon I got in a bit of running on the trampoline, so it wasn’t a complete write off of a day.

Day 1817

Day 1817;

Of the day my BMI was 19.43, I had stepped 20,338 steps which was 13.17 km in length and I burned off 1934 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, nectarine and grapes.
Lunch: tinned spaghetti on bread and chocolate chip shortbread.
Dinner: chicken, carrots, peas, potatoes, vanilla rhubarb orange desert and mini chocolate cake slices.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash

Time isn’t like the sea, in the respect of it only flows one way. But it is like the sea with respect to how easy it is to get lost on it. In the sea analogy I am but a molecule of water within the sea of time, totally indistinguishable from another errant molecule of water.

So today I have got my steps sorted out nice and promptly, in a shortish jog. Just before that I had eaten my breakfast, then I had a bit of a lazy morning, until lunch of which I ate and I got disturbed, by my watch twice while I was eating. As my watch kept telling me to move while I was eating. But then I’d finished my lunch and I went back to my being lazy up until I went on another cycle on Mich’ tandem which was fun, as we’d done our first 5 mile in just about 25 minutes. But we were getting quicker as we were going,

Day 1816

Day 1816;

My BMI was up again today at 19.49, I had taken 10,243 steps which was 6.63 km and I had burned off 821 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal  banana, apple, orange and nectarine.
Lunch: sandwich (gammon, tomato, salad with white bread) and something.
Dinner: fish, prawns, peas, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes and peach, tangerine fruit tart.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and cider.

Now today I have been on a little treadmill walk which turned into a jog at times, but it eventually transformed into a bit of a trot, towards the end. Then that was about it that I did in form of exercise until just before dinner when I was having a bounce to get my steps up to at least 10,000.

But then for the rest of the day I have watched some more of Red Dwarf, Sherlock and Zapped, as they’re on UKTV play/an app. I have also been on Splatoon 2 I have only been playing my way through the single player campaign, as my internet connection isn’t working properly. Still I have been playing on a couple of those mini tablet games that I have installed on my tablet.

So all in all a bit of a lazy day, was mine today, sorry I’m not attempting a bit of a Yoda it was just something that came to my head. 

Day 1815

Day 1815;

BMI of 19.27, steps 27,766 which was 17.98 km and I have burned off 2300 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, apple and orange.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese, tomato with white bread) and 2 cherry bakewells.
Dinner: gammon, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, green beans, potatoes and a fruit pastry.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (orange and raspberry) and cider.

Now today I have been on cycling, my watch ran out of charge before we’d finished our ride, but Wii Fit step counter reached 27,500 steps just after the ride. Today we didn’t do too well on the ride Mich blames it on the heat.

I have also got burned by the sun which I was out riding, I thought that I had signed sun cream to Mich this morning and he didn’t respond, but apparently he did see but he thought that I’d have weathered myself up by now so he thought don’t be daft at my suggestion. But then again he has also told a story that had him saying to me that I should wear sun cream but apparently I decided, so that has me at confused. Wasn’t there that radio programme on recently saying that the only way to get a healthy tan was from a bottle as the other ways are actually by burning your skin, so that is why I cringe every time he says at least your looking a healthy colour now.

Day 1814

Day 1814;

On Wii Fit tonight I had a BMI of 18.94, 20,624 steps which was the equivalent of 13.35 km and I’d burned off 1529 kcal. 

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, nectarine, apple and peach.
Lunch: tinned spaghetti with sausages on bread and a chocolate ice-cream.
Dinner: fish and chips with curry sauce and a mandarin peach tart.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, water and fruit juice.

Now I had managed to get myself up-to and past 10,000 steps by lunch as I had done another little treadmill wander this morning, then I had a shower got dressed and I had a little bounce before going on a walk around the garden which had me up to about 15 thousand steps on both the Wii Fit meter and the watch.

But then in the gym I used the Lateral X (cross) trainer, which should have got my steps for my watch up as well as the Wii Fit as I have to use both my arms and legs for that piece of equipment. But the other piece of equipment that I used while I was in the gym today I wasn’t really using my arms, as it was the exercise bike so now that was probably the reason why I had over 19 thousand steps on my Wii Fit meter while I only had just over 18 thousand on my watch before going out to the seaside with Tini and Mich for dinner of which I was really hungry by the time that we had it.

So we were going to the seaside for dinner, but the traffic was so bad we got to a turn off which said Mersea so we turned off on that turn off, so we were going to get fish n chips from there instead.

19,297 car travel you’ve just got to hate it. 

19,645 Then we had a little walk on the island of Mersea.

19,967 I got back into the car as Mich told me that we were going to get our dinner, we didn’t, at least not immediately.

20,493 after we had traveled to Malden for fish and chips, I find it unbelievable how much people like driving. I think it’s incredibly unenjoyable as I’m getting my head bashed around by the car one minute it’s getting banged on the window the next it’s my neck getting squeezed by the seatbelt. But then I have my head which I also find bounces backwards and forwards on the headrest of which I do find to be irritating.

20,504 we stopped to  eat our fish and chips 

20,640 before we got back into the car.

21,552 we returned home.

As that was the way that my watch recorded my steps which was over the back roads, cross country from Mersea to Maldon. And as Mich was driving he was saying how much he enjoyed driving. 

Day 1813

Day 1813;

My BMI was 19.30 again, 5643 steps which were 3.65 km which were 767 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, nectarine, apple and peach.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese with white bread) and something.
Dinner: spaghetti bolognaise and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit juice, fruit squash and cider.
Snack: a Maltese chocolate.

So as a start for the day I was unsure of what I had to do today, so I went for a ten minute run on the treadmill, I failed to reach the ten minute mark. Which was followed by a 15 minute treadmill walk before I got lazy and the next physical activity that I did was a little cycle on an exercise bike.

I hate humanity as a species we have destroyed this world, I know that you could say that we have made some parts more suitable for human life but then we weren’t living there naturally why do we have to move onto it? Because our species has grown too big, in quantity. There’s too many of us on this rock, cannibalism is an option which would help on two levels, as it would help the starving and it’d help us by cutting down on the number of people alive. It may even have a third impact as people should be attempting to get as fit as possible, as they don’t want to be looking fat and tasty. Which would bump up the coder .

Day 1812

Day 1812;

My BMI was 19.30, I had walked 14,090 steps which was 9.12 km and I had burned off 1338 kcal, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange and apple.

Lunch: prawn mayo sandwich (white bread), chocolate cake and Batternburg.

Dinner: sweet sour chicken, rice, green beans, chocolate trifle and chocolate.

Drinks: milk, fruit juice and fruit squash.

Snacks: strawberries.

So today I have had a little treadmill walk which got me going for today, before lunch then after lunch I had the gym it was a session on the exercise bike and then after that I had myself a lazy rest of the day, with me watching some more of Red Dwarf.

So that was what I did today apart from the usual, you know the stuff like showering, toileting, eating, playing and Wii Fitting.
