Well hello
First up Happy New Year to you
Ok then today was the first day of the year of Hippi then hmmmm, how did it go you might ask.
Before i begin to answer i must tell you of the new All time low After what was a fairly heavy night involving a fairly large amount of Guiness, Lager, Southern Comfort and a load of Marks and Spencer's Nibble foodstuffs i decided to get on the scales to start my diet, makes a certain kind of sense i thought, weigh yourself and see how you get on. Bugger that - i won't be doing that again in a hurry i was a massive 19 stone, 13 and a quarter pounds 
That is 20 Stone really, and with me standing tall at 5'9", it does not paint a pretty picture.
So the first day - I am trying to follow basically a 'Slimming World' Diet, mainly because thats what my wife does and as she has lost four and a haf stone on that and now looks fantastic. As the diet is in the house anyway its gotta be easier. I have been good today, with the fact that i didnt get up til late it was easier i guess as its made it a short day, all the crap has gone out the house from the festive period so temptation is less, thats a good thing as i am not good in the face of any kind of temptation. Having said that we had an absolutely fantastic Roast Beef Dinner with all the trimmings prepared for us by a friend and i managed to stay good - loadsof veg only 2 roast spuds, 1 yorkshire and a sensible portion of beef and best of all managed not to have any pudding.
So my journey has started......
