Great motivation to lose weight

Posted on by

My mother told me I am fat. To which I wanted to reply 'pot kettle' but didn't know how to say it in Italian.

Well, she did not say it in so many words. I was opening her bedroom window and turning my back to her, and she said 'Don't put on any more weight, you look like your grandfather'. I had to ask what he looked like and was told he was a big man. Next time I'm visiting I'll look for pictures so I can check how fat he was.

In the meantime, I am spending the month of March detoxing. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. No alcohol, sugar, dairy or grains. Need a major cleanup. Started on Monday and doing very well so far.

Where’s the last month gone?

I seem to work and work and eat and eat and then eat some more (getting a bit out of control but will spend March detoxing so that's alright. Mmmh, was going to spend January detoxing, then decided it was going to be February…). No gym either, which is making me mad, but I was training for the Brighton half marathon and I have learnt that I cannot do weights regularly and go for three or four long runs every week. Oh, and the half marathon? Had to defer it to next year because of a rib I cracked (possibly, it clicked when touched and hurt like hell when running, it's better now thank you) while snowboarding (or rather, falling from snowboarding). Snowboarding lessons in Milton Keynes were fantastic and glad we thought of doing that before going snowboarding on the Alps in Italy. Leaving tonight actually, so bye for now and back to work.
