Fatboy Slimmer - Part Two

07/05/2026

Mayday?

So another week down and while I'm trying my best, I really need to knuckle down and maybe combine efforts to get this weight loss going. A combination of Slimming World and perhaps some calorie counting, along with the swimming and a visit to the gym may give me the boost that I need. It's not been a fantastic week diet wise....

April’s End

Last week was an absolute nightmare at weigh in. It really got me to a point where I wondered if Slimming World was actually for me. My weigh went up by half a stone admittedly after a fantastic week with Alex and Skindred. I was utterly devastated and it really didn't help as I felt a bit anxious when I went for my after group swim....

Booze, Beats, Brixham!

Well, it's been two weeks since my last update and I must say that it's been a fantastic few weeks. It's been a tale of live music, lots of amazing food, incredible beer and even better company. So it is no shock that weigh in tonight was going to be a bit difficult. I could have swerved it and just not gone but I think that I owed it to myself to get back into the swing of things and try again....

Easter eater.

Another week down and time for another weigh in. It feels like it's been a long old week this week, despite there having been a four day weekend! Things have been quite slow this week but with the Easter weekend and plethora of chocolate and hot cross buns in the shops then it was always going to be a difficult one....

Spring – Renewal?

I've had a few weeks of just massive stress as work has not been great. Lots of work to do and not enough time to complete it. This week has been a bit less stressy as someone had deleted our team from the telephone system and we're not able to access the phones. It has meant a lot more walk ups and Teams messages but it has given us time to work on what we need to do and we've been in a position to concentrate on some of the trickier claims....

Last of March

Not the best of weeks this week. Had a poor start to the week with some beers and the rest of the week has just gone downhill from there. I think that I realise that I'm now suffering from stress and anxiety. That is blocking me from concentrating on my efforts at weight loss. Despite sitting in group after the weigh in and seeing the success of others, my yo-yoing journey has not been great and I'm now considering just giving it up completely....

March Madness

This week hasn't been a great one. Mostly on plan but there were days where I have really struggled to stay even close to the plan. Had a fairly quiet weekend. I'm still feeling a bit rough with this cold. I was due to go out on Saturday but a combination of not feeling great and perhaps a bit of anxiety kept me firmly rooted in the house....

Marching On…

Another week down and I'm still feeling a bit rough. I am however heading to group this evening. I've not had the best of weeks. I had booked myself a long weekend for the Australian Grand Prix. I always love to watch the race live and as it's Australia then it's first thing in the morning. However, the dreaded lurgy has manifested itself just in time for my long weekend....

March already…

An apology from me. I'm stuffed up with another bloody cold so I'm just going to bed this evening. Not going to SW this evening and not swimming afterwards. 😦 I will however be awake at 1am tomorrow morning as it's time for the first F1 practice session of 2026. Sorry folks but I hope to be back up and running next week. Take care.

End of Month.

It's been a week of up and down, not just in the case of my Mental Heath to be honest. A loss again last week was a bit of a help but after a poor weekend then the rest of the week has really continued along in that vein. Friday night wasn't so bad. Nothing on the telly so there was a bit of a lazy evening after work....

Pizza, beer and a Swimming Pool

So it's a new week and again, not the best start. At least there's no beer this weekend and I hope that might help me with the rest of the week. I did a bit of cooking on Friday so have enough bolognese sauce to keep me going for a while. I also did another Iceland shop so lots of Slimming World meals to keep me on the straight and narrow....
