Went for the results of my blood test today and was a little disapointed that my Uric acid levels are still quite a bit higher than they should be. I'll add they are down from my previous reading so in someways i think the diet is working and i'm moving in the right direction.
Thought the Doc would prescribe a drug to control it but he is happy I'm working in the right direction and as given me a few more ideas about changing my diet (due to new research). Trouble is I want to avoid the drug route because once i start its for the rest of my life.
High Uric Acid levels leaves me prone to gout attacks which i get (and is agony), long term can lead to kidney problems so its essential i get it under control and significantly lower.
We are going to review the situation in 3 months time.

getting consistant
Yes achieved my target again, 1997 is my average calories per day this week so again happy i'm again under 2,000cal.
And even better is I've lost another 2lb so now weigh in at 199lb.
Could have been much better but went out for Sunday Lunch, still enjoyed it.

Frustrated with life
I'm a bit frustrated with life at the moment, nothing specific just need some excitement and adventure.
What isn't helping is I'm expecting some news (on a personal issue) and it seems so slow coming. Its been going on a long time and its very close to its conclusion.
As you all know like my sport as always played a big part in my life, play table tennis and Pool but feel really stale at present especially with the Table Tennis, not really looking forward to matches/competitions and wanting season to end. Most competitions are done and dusted by easter so planning to have a good break then, also giving a lot of thought to cutting back the amount i play next season. Never know i may get my enthusiasm back with a summer break.
Not been big headed here but at local league level I'm a quite good player and think that is part of the problem, because i win most of my matches teams want me to turn out all the time and I'm a sucker for not letting them down, done it for years. I know I've achieved everything within my capabilities and feel there is nothing more to aim at, do like the social side though. Its frustrating to lose sharpness because of a mix of not been motivated to practice and natural decline as you get older.
I'm actually giving a lot of thought to taking up a complete new sport so I can start at the bottom and see how far i can climb the ladder.
Also think I'm going to start golfing again in the summer, haven't played for a couple of years so it'll be good to get out on the course (once better weather arrives).
A few other things going on at present that are also a bit frustrating but nothing major just an accumalation.
On a more positive note, getting my garden ready for summer, gonna have a good colour display of flowers this year, put a load of various bulbs in that should flower in spring. Also ordered a load of plants for me to pot and grow on before transferring into the garden to flower all summer, will take some photos.
