I’ve been “on the road” for the last few weeks, which is also why there haven’t been any updates on here. This morning was my first weigh-in since the 6th of March and I was dreading it. The last few weeks I’ve been travelling for work and between travel, late nights, alcohol, food etc., I [...]

Weight Fluctuations
When I came back from the US I was quite annoyed with my progress. I’d gained weight. I wasn’t imagining it – my weighing scales was telling me that I’d put on over a kilo. However a couple of days later I’d “lost” it again (or most of it anyway). That was bizarre. I’m now [...]
