For a long while when growing up, I could eat whatever I wanted and I didn’t put on weight. As I’ve got older, the pounds are creeping on, and are getting harder to shift.

Up until I the wedding late last year, I was just about keeping on top of it although I was still about three-quarters of a stone over where I wanted to be. After the honeymoon, we both started on a 3-month course of a set of three detox tablets (seaweed, black radish, other natural stuff that you’d not likely eat out of choice), and although this went well for six weeks, once I got out of the habit of taking the tablets each morning, my weight seemed to go up.

My new goal is to reduce my weight, get a little fitter, and look a little better, with an arbitrary deadline of the end of July when I’m off to the WordCamp in Chicago.
