But not literally.
Last June I decided to finally do something about my weight. It wasn’t causing health issues and tests in recent years had a shown low cholesterol and a strong heart. Never-the-less, I wasn’t happy.
So, just like that, I did.
I joined WW (what was Weight Watchers) and this week I celebrated losing over 50 lbs in total (53 lbs in total). That’s over 20% of my body weight. So, I’m four fifths of the man that I used to be, if we’re being rather more literal.
Get comfortable as I’m about to share the amazing story of a simple toilet fault and the lengths I had to go through to get it fixed.
It’s a tale of incompetence and frustration. Oh, and a toilet cistern.
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions but I do like to look back across a year, if only from the learnings that such a thought exercise brings. If you want to be a better person, review your past and use that to better yourself in the future.
However, I think Helen boils it down ever more succinctly…
Do you like the above portrait? It’s something I’m very proud of and am using as my gaming avatar.
I suspect few people know that I have a middle initial. Which is probably fair enough as I rarely use it. And like Michael J Fox, it doesn’t actually stand for anything.
So, what is it and why do I use it?
