This "muscle weighs more than fat" thing is easier to understand in theory than in practice. I weighed myself at the gym today and at 14st 7lbs am almost as heavy as I've ever been; but although I've still got plenty of fat on me it's visibly nowhere near as much as it used to be, I'm wearing smaller trousers than when I weighed a couple of stone ( Read more... )

This week on my Twitter feed, I went to slightly less theatre than usual so shared my UNIQUE INSIGHTS on TV shows instead, and a woman on the train wanted everyone to know how important she was. Not too important to travel by train, mind ( Read more... )

This week on Twitter I'm mainly reacting to stuff what I done seen - theatre, a nasty dream, Cumbus in a vest, The X Factor and a truly disturbing invention on Dragons' DenAh, good, Hitchings in the Standard has mentioned the piss-taking ticket prices in his South Pacific review ( Read more... )

This week on Twitter, I fly back from New York and proceed to Twitpic my holiday photos ( Read more... )

Yay me, I managed to go to the gym to do cardio on a Tuesday for the first time in ages (Monday is leg day so by the next morning I'm usually too wobbly to go in again that soon.) Of course it just means it's tomorrow that I won't be able to walk, but that's chest day anyway so I should survive. Anyway enough self-congratulation, time for a low ( Read more... )

Pretty much back to my usual amount of tweeting this week, with the usual mix of sleb spots, ranting and unsuccessful attempts to twitter-flirt with Russell Tovey (look, if he goes around tweeting about his nipples, he knows damn well what's going to happen ( Read more... )

This week, everyone on Twitter was Spartacus. For one tweet, anyway - the rest of the time was the usual sleb spotting, carping about X Factor and throwing a wobbly when my bus failed to exist. Oh and apparently my laugh is a public disturbance ( Read more... )

Well I did say I'd post these on the blog because if I'm going to encourage myself to keep going to the gym I have to put the results up for people to see, but my usual dislike of photos of myself is the same as ever, just so we're clear. As per the title, they're not really before and after pics because I've obviously still got a long way to go, ( Read more... )

It's Friday (came round quickly, although people who actually have jobs to go to may disagree) so it's time for some assorted stuff. The obligatory YouTube (and it's very obligatory) in a sec, but first a quick update on ME, ME, ME ( Read more... )

This morning I finally felt confident enough in my bad back to start up at the gym again. It's only been three weeks but it felt like a lot longer - although I won't pretend I don't default to laziness, I was getting frustrated with how quickly I actually felt less healthy. It was also annoying that just before my back went I'd finally started ( Read more... )
