Steve, you are always the purveyor of wisdom. I, in fact, met my target of losing 4lbs this week, and at my unoffical weigh-in on Saturday i was 15 stone 8 - which is a loss of 5lbs! Yey me! I do rather jump on and off the scales, which is not always productive, but at this point in time i can't stop!

I'm ot hoping for such a big loss this week for various reasons which i want go into here, but i'm sure the ladies reading this will know what i mean!

Despite that though i should be able to reach one stone lost, which means i could be buying my wireless router next weekend!

I don't want this to become just a log of weight loss and dieting, but i guess because of my weight i haven't been able to do what i want...

I'm thinking about doing the OU astronomy short course over the xmas period. I don't need to do it, as i have enough points now. It's over 100 quid though, which would have to go on my credit card, which is mildly annoying as i am so close to paying off my credit card (just over 100 left on it). The OU don't let you pay for short courses in installments, unlike their normal courses and this was really something i was thinking about yesterday evening.

that reminds me, i finally got my Katamari game! I had a short play with it on Sunday, it's a very strange game, but i can see me getting into it. So i guess the winter break could be taken up with either astronomy or katamari!

I swear i can smell buttered toast in the air....mm toast with pate...

I went to my last tutorial on Saturday, i stayed for the whole day and i do feel nwo like i could do the exam. I just need to plod my way through the blocks, and read my texts. I'm probably still going to answer questions about 5th century athens and roman life, but i am still going over homer as it could come up as a source question...

I shall just be glad when it's over as i really do hate exams. Next year i think is going to be a killer...

Just think though, gentle readers, by the time i start my next course i could be slim! I coudl even go back to having a jacket potato after a tutorial (if they do level 3 tutorials). Looking at the kind of food i ate, mostly it was pretty healthy. Weetabix for breakfast, something hot from the canteen for lunch and something lighter for tea like pasta or a simple boiled egg with soldiers. It was all of the snacks that i ate during the day that was bad. After all, a Saturday treat of a jacket potato with cheese and beans is not exactly a bad thing! I can see me eating much more vegetarian food in the future, plenty of pasta, beans, rice. After all, as i said several times, it wasn't as if was going home and eating a whole packet of biscuits, or having macdonalds every night.

When i was strolling through Birmingham on Saturday i noticed that one of the shops (think it was gregs) are not doing hot wraps. I nearly caved then and there as i love wraps, and hot wraps are even better. I was strong though.
