Diet that infamous word.

I have been at 12-13 stone for some time now and while it's not obese I am aware that I'm still over weight. From age 17 through 35 I weighed exactly 10st 4lb and it didn't seem to matter what I ate or drank, the weight just stayed the same. However I was playing Rugby and squash and training once or twice a week.

Now there's nothing like stating publicly that you are going to diet to doom it to failure but here goes. I weighed in at 12-6 this morning and would like to get to betwen 11 and 11-7 for the summer. I also have read that you should aim to lose weight slowly so at 1-2lbs per week I aim to hit the top target 11-7 around June time .

This article on fat and diet http://members.shaw.ca/bodybuilding/Fat.html seems to make sense and I lke the idea of not stopping eating so lets see what happens.

High Tides and Storms

The sea was as high as I have ever seen it at Swanage today. With very strong winds from the southwest the sea in the bay was relatively flat. However there was still a significant swell coming in despite the offshore wind direction. The studland ferry suspended operations at high tide. The ferry was fine but the road leading to it was awash at times. It's not often you would be able to drive upwards onto the ferry.!


The pier head building was getting an impromtu pebbledashing as the sea surged across the road at pier approach and the Police decided to close this to traffic. The Mowlem too was getting a right pounding.

At Buckshore, the tenders on Slippery ledge were being jostled by the waves. Just as well they were all tied down. The sea was washing under the boats on the beach but local club members were there monitoring the situation, ready to move boats if necessary.
