Liverrrrrrrrr
Well, there we go, I saw that doc, and I have a Fatty Liver. No big surprise and not directly life-threatening but something I have to fix, and there's only one way to fix it - by losing weight. I'll also be nice to my liver by mainly not drinking (exceptions for my birthday this weekend, and special occasions, of course!) and eating healthily (in terms of content as well as quantity). I've gotten my game back on to some degree gym-wise and I've ordered two new sets of scales - one to weigh me, and one to weigh my food. My bike is also fixed up a bit now with a seat that ought to be a bit less sore on my arse (hur hur) and some other bits and bobs. So if I miss a gym day I can go out on the bike instead. I might ponder a new suspension fork at some point too, not so much because I punish my bike going over bumpy things, but because I'm so damn heavy that the standard ones that the bike came with tend to be halfway compressed before I even go anywhere. But I'll see how things go. Anyway, lots of opportunity for exercise now! No excuses! I might even pluck up the courage to cycle to work, though 8 miles in the morning seems like a lot still. I'd like it better if there weren't any, y'know, people and cars and stuff.
In other news, a few weeks ago I bought some Sennheiser in-ear headphones for £17, just sturdy but un-fancy ones for the gym and travelling to and from work (I have proper cans at work and in the studio). They had a nice way of fitting and a clip to attach to your collar - I thought them quite nifty. But no....
Remind me never to pay less than forty-five quid for headphones. The rubber bits that hold them in one's ears have fallen off and gone to the place that small rubber things go to. So I've just ordered some Shure SCL2's - my e2c's lasted me 3 years without a complaint and I still have a load of the memory foam inserts for them left over, which should fit the SCL2's as well. £49 on Amazon, bang.
