It's Christmas Eve in Belly and Brain land and all is well with both. I've been working very hard over the last four months and fully intend to continue doing so, however, no one likes a Nazi, so I intend to do what humans are meant to do during this period and that is to eat and drink til the cows come home, or Boxing day, whichever comes first. Life is about being realistic. I will enjoy myself as I deserve to and give the gym a good spanking, once I'm full of Turkey and wine.
The last week or so has been great. I've been spending a lot of time, although not enough, with my Sara, who is wonderful. I've been training hard, eating well and feeling positive.
Here are some Christmas stats:
Start - 12/08/2011 End of week 19 - 24/12/2011
Weight - 168 kg Weight - 126.4 kg
Chest - 53 ins Chest - 46 ins
Waist - 57 ins Waist - 45 ins
Upper Arm left - 18 ins Upper Arm left - 16.4 ins
Forearm left - 14 ins Forearm left - 13 ins
Upper Arm right - 17 ins Upper Arm right - 16 ins
Forearm left - 13.5 ins Forearm right - 13 ins
Thigh left - 34 ins Thigh left - 28 ins
Calf left - 21 ins Calf left - 19.5 ins
Thigh right - 34 ins Thigh right - 27.5 ins
Calf right - 22 ins Calf right - 20 ins
So, my weight loss is slowing down significantly, which is to be expected, but it's continues to travel in the right direction. I've reached a landmark, in that my weight has fallen below the twenty stone mark for the first time in around five years. I've lost six and a half stone in just over four months, which leaves me with three and a half stone to lose in the next eight months. With hard work and sensible decisions, it's definitely achievable.

So, for now, enjoy your Christmas. Eat, drink and enjoy being with your families.

Easy Peasy
I bear good news: I have made a full and swift recovery from my man flu. Unfortunately, I have infected my Sara. I think she'll make a recovery, but it's touch and go.
I have very little to report this week, other than a feeling of general happiness and contentment, thanks to the beautiful Sara, who inspires me every day.
I saw my Psychiatrist last week, who has amended my medication again. I'll keep you updated with how mental this will make me.
I'm so accustomed to this new lifestyle of mine, that it barely enters my mind any more. I just continue to make sensible decisions with food and continue to wobble my arse in the gym. I'm still enjoying the exercise and feel the benefits after each and every work out.
I'm still aiming to have lost seven stone by Christmas. Due to this, I won't be weighing in this weekend. Instead I'll have a special festive weigh in on Christmas Eve. Can you contain your excitement until then?
I really would like to write something profound tonight, but it's difficult to do so when everything is ship shape and shiny in Belly and Brain. Who knows, maybe next week I'll have a nervous breakdown or gain half a stone. Otherwise, I'll just have to think of something entertaining to say.
Until next time, have fun and don't miss me too much.

Looking After Mr Cerebrum
Week sixteen is over and I've had the opportunity to reflect on the last few days, especially on my last blog post.
The mind is an unpredictable thing and in order to give yourself the best chance of success and happiness, you must listen to both your body and your mind. I have, historically, neglected to take proper care of both and have suffered the consequences. This new life is centred around making sound judgements and logical decisions. This is something I try to do every day.
Since my genitals came out of hibernation, my body has begun to resemble that of a legitimate human and my state of mind has become much more reasonable, I've actually managed to find a girlfriend, and my Christ, she's a belter. It's always good to have purpose and I've found this in the last few months, but now I also have someone amazing to share the joys, challenges and adventures that every day life brings.
Anyway, I have a stinking cold and quite frankly cannot be arsed to write this blog, so on to the nitty gritty of the stats. Here goes:
Start - 12/08/2011 End of week 16 - 04/12/2011
Weight - 168 kg Weight - 128.2 kg
Chest - 53 ins Chest - 47 ins
Waist - 57 ins Waist - 46 ins
Upper Arm left - 18 ins Upper Arm left - 16.8 ins
Forearm left - 14 ins Forearm left - 13.1 ins
Upper Arm right - 17 ins Upper Arm right - 15.8 ins
Forearm left - 13.5 ins Forearm right - 13 ins
Thigh left - 34 ins Thigh left - 28.8 ins
Calf left - 21 ins Calf left - 19.8
Thigh right - 34 ins Thigh right - 27.5 ins
Calf right - 22 ins Calf right - 20.2 ins
The usual applies, if you want to see the previous results, you can find them in my previous entries (fnarr).
It has to be said that my Christmas target of six stone has been surpassed, so I'm changing it to seven stone.
I bid thee farewell, as my man flu is terminal.
I'll see you next week.
