Weight Loss Thoughts

[gothwalk]

Since starting to try to lose weight, I've knocked off about two stone. This is having the desired effect of letting me buy cheap clothes, but it's having some other odd and in many cases unexpected effects too.

First, I'm losing my insulation, and it's getting cold. I'm having to go over a number of old meditation routines and alter out the ones that deal with bloodflow and keeping warm, which is weird. I used to be able to stand in the old "beer garden" in Fibbers and keep three other people warm, though, when I was smaller before, so I know it can be done.

Second, while I have more energy at the start of the day, when I get tired, I go down like a poleaxed bullock, thud. No reserves of energy anymore.

Third, my body is developing all kinds of weird planes and angles where there were none before. There are inward curves at points on my arms and thighs where there weren't before, and they look fundamentally wrong still. I suspect the shape of my face is changing under the beard as well.

Fourthly, I can now keep up with olethros silly-fast walking pace, even while carrying a full gaming kit.

I haven't actually been out around the fields since, but the roadside ones have gone from "a little bit of black" to "I can just about make out some red in there", so I'd say are chances are good if you fancy it. If not, can be left for another week or another year.

Weather looks nasty. Would we be denying you entertainment for the day if we didn't turn up?

Apologies to you as to your wife for my impatience.

While I do enjoy your company, I understand that torrential rain does somewhat take away from the enjoyment of blackberry picking. Tis no problem. Let me know if you'd like to do it again some time.

Stupid lj. That was of course, me.

Ok, we'll call it off for tomorrow, and schedule for next weekend?

And that was me...

Sounds perfect. I don't actually like the idea of picking alone. See ye then!
