The Future lets be positive (but i'm playing my cards close to my chest)

As many of you who know me and read my blog on a regular basis lets jst say the last 12 month hasn't been the greatest of my life but maybe the next year will be much better.

As some of my closer friends know i've one burning issue still to resolve, something i can't/wont blog about but I'll just say wheels are in motion and things should be moving on sooner rather than later.

As for dating again lets just say things are maybe moving forward and i've options, will probably say much more following my holiday when things could happen, a few decisions to make in my mind and dont want to tempt fate by blogging about it.

Paula and myself are still very good friends, we haven't moved apart for any other reason other than we have different priorities in our lives at this stage, we have met up for a drink more than once as friends and done lots of chatting, we both know the direction the other is heading. Sure it hurts me to move on, we had some great times together certainly never fell out, in fact we agree on the fact we both got hard act to follow, lets see where the future leads.

On another note thinking of starting to play golf again this year, still actually a member of the club even though not been using it, need to decide before june when i need to renew, not sure will try play a couple of rounds weather permitting after my Croatia trip.

Getting loads of jobs done around the house and I think it makes life feel less cluttered, nothing worse than having loads that needs doing it just over powers you, feel i'm getting on top.
Actually doing more in the garden than i planned, bought loads of plants its gonna look nice this year.

My Adventures

"My Adventures"

Well thats the name of my blog based on my determination to see the world and I've not lost the hunger, been busy making plans. You all know I'm doing Route 66 in October this year well thats a long way off so gonna slip a couple more trips in.

So two new countries are on the agenda for me to visit, Croatia in May followed by Austria in August and don't think I've finished there.

Weigh in Wednesday - Expected Gain, now to fightback

Story so far :-

Got back from a weekend away yesterday and to be honest I felt fat, a few days of big breakfasts, big dinners and a few drinks and there was only going to be one result at todays weigh in. I'm sort of happy to report its only a 2lb gain but also I know I've got to fightback straight away and need to report a loss this time next week.

Weight increase isn't the only bad thing to happen this week I damaged the car, only a few scratches to the wing but will have to touch it up. Was my own silly fault parked in a very tight spot in a public car park and had to get close to a concrete post. Knew I had to manouvre carefully out but just jumped in car a drove forward before I remembered.

While I was away turned off my hot water to save money, turned it on when i got home filled the tank with hot water then later in the evening left a tap running (long story) and proceeded to empty the tank completely.

Lost my over 40's Pool singles last night, sort of blaming been tired cos I was horrendous missed so many chances to win. Have been playing well lately but that was one for the horror show.

As I've said previously Easter was always gonna be my time for moving on from my relationship with Paula, I didn't want it to happen but we've talked and she just can't commit. We are still good friends and she suggests we could meet for a drink/meal sometimes, I'll think about that one, maybe in future I'll see but now is time for moving on.

And some good news :-
 I'm planning to meet up with a online friend, we've not met before and she seems nice, was just chatting online last night and she asked if i fancied meeting over a coffee, so i thought why not what harm can it do, cant have too many friends. So future plans to be made and a date cast in stone, no rush though i ain't diving into anything.

Just got my Gas/Electric bill and am pleased they are cutting my monthly payments by £25, better in my pocket I say.

Do Americans steal everything

A Bloody baseball team have stolen my football clubs anthem, one of the most famous football songs of all time.
Yes Minnesota Twins I now officially hate you, "Marching on together" belongs to one team only as it as since it was wrote in the 1970's.

Here is their version :-


And here is how it should be done :-

Weigh in Wednesday :- Exercise holds the key

I'm disappointed but not surprised to report hat I've not lost anything this week although at least I've not gained either. I say not surprised because I will admit I've struggled to eat as I should, just found it hard to get back into the good habits since my holiday.

Think this week will also be hard as I'm away for a few days over easter, its for a 40th birthday (not mine that long gone lol) so bound to be a bit of over eating and drinking.

Story so far :-

Start Weight (4th Jan)      - 225lb
11th Jan                          -  223lb
18th Jan                          - 221lb
25th Jan                          -  218lb
1st Feb                            - 217lb
8th Feb                            - 217lb
15th Feb                          - 216lb
22nd Feb                         - 215lb
29th Feb                          - 212lb
7th Mar                           - 211lb
14th Mar                         - 210lb
28th Mar                         - 210lb
4th April                         - 210lb

So I know following easter I've got to make a big effort to get my eating back on track thats for sure. However I think its time to up my exercise, gonna really get myself going. The big boost is that my knee seems on the mend so will allow me to do this just hope there are no set backs.

Yippee

5 numbers and the bonus ball = Loads of Money
