Excellent news. The scales point more to the 13 than the 14. Well, actually they pointed more to the 14 than the 13 but since the scales are in the gym I don’t want to be standing there in my birthday suit, smile on my face and tackle in the breeze to get an accurate measurement. Instead I have previously weighed my gym kit using the kitchen scales and found it to weigh 2lbs. This allows me to stand there fully clothed and, with the application of a little mental arithmetic, work our my body weight. So it was a conceptual reading rather than the actual reading, but, nevertheless, it would appear the All Kebab No Belgium Bun With Some Cereal In The Morning Because Otherwise We’d Have No Fibre diet is working well.
None of this helps the fact that my socks have taken to slipping down and rucking up under my feet.
Due to one thing or another I’ve not really been to the gym to work out (I’ve been swimming a couple of times) since I started the All Kebab diet. The gym houses the Official Scales which I use to weigh myself, mainly because the scales I have at home, despite being very flash, don’t seem to want to give a consistent measurement. Personally I blame the fact the floorboards move thus not giving them a stable base but this doesn’t stop them from being utterly useless.
Today will be the first official weigh in. Now I did manage to have a quick workout and weigh in a few days after starting and the initial results were promising, but also due to water loss. If the All Kebab diet really does work then the needle should have shifted so it’s now closer to the 13 then it is to the 14 despite the lack of regular rigorous exercise and the consumption of a lot of bad foods during lunch today.
If the looseness of the jeans are anything to go by then the result should be rather promising 
People handle grief differently. I tend to be very private with my grief getting through the more public parts of the day by listening to very loud, very aggressive music and eating crap. Since I couldn’t be there I marked my grandmothers funeral today by stuffing my face with one of those individually wrapped portions of Cadburys Fruit and Nut (the 200 gram one so it’s more than 1 mouthful).
I’ve eaten a lot of crap this week so the diet should probably begin again in ernest tomorrow. That said, I am a lot happier with my shape these days and I did notice the other day that I had the body of an Athlete1 so that’s OK.
1 OK, so maybe not the body of an athlete, but I do have the feet of an athlete at least… OK, OK, I have athletes foot. Happy now?
