New Year new Norpig

I then had 3 chocolates from the Heroes tub and 3 from the Celebration's one that was left over from Christmas along with a good few gin and tonics (the diet low cal version).

Felt guilty all day today along with a massive hangover as I haven't drank in a while.

Lady Bobsworth and I are in agreement that no gentleman of discernment would mix diet tonic with gin. It is the one certain way of ruining a decent G&T.

But whilst we are in Alan Houghton mode, yesterday we had chicken and sausage sandwiches for lunch from a very nice free range chicken Lady B had roasted on Friday.

And because we both prefer to eat meat no more than once a day, we opted for a vegetable pizza in the evening whilst watching Cheltenham v Citeh on the box. 

For drinkies Lady B stuck with her much-loved Laphroaig whilst I finished off a bottle of Domaine Mas Barrau Cabernet Franc. allaboutwine.co.uk. describes it as sensual, seductive and sophisticated. They could just as easily have been describing Lady B.

I have to say that now when I bend down to tie my laces, I don't feel like I've got a football squeezing up my neck!

I have noticed though, that the older I got the harder it was to lose weight, and now that I've piled it on over Christmas, (after actually, from eating all the stuff I was given), its going to be a really long slog back to being able to see what I'm holding when I next go for a pee.

Well done fellow fat club member 

I lost 3 pounds last week from not eating at all on Friday and not getting my appetite fully back so not the ideal way of doing it!

Wow ! You must have been a real Billy Bunter. 
Sorry KP, I just couldn't resist the opportunity. I'm in awe of your efforts, and to be honest, slightly jealous. Keep up the good work mate.

If you can't pig out at 70 then when can you? I'm nearly 50 and it is harder to keep the weight down

I googled. I saw. I wiped my search history.

You used to play 5 a side though so I’m quite surprised. 

It’s just got to be the beer that’s piling the pounds on and the late night fridge raid when the hunger pangs set in due to the booze. 

I really piled on the weight since the first lockdown comfort eating tons of shite plus drinking much more than I normally did.
