Winners lose – Week 11

It’s been a strange week diet wise.  I’ve been pretty good most of the week but have had two nights out which can always have a pretty negative impact on my weight.

Thursday was tapas.  And what can I say.  I love tapas.  I especially love chorizo.  All I can say is the diet went completely out of the window.

Then Friday was a retirement do for a brilliant UNISON activist, Merv Butler.  Not too bad on the food front but I did drink pretty much a whole bottle of Prosecco.  And that can’t be good for the diet.

I wasn’t confident. But only the scales have the answer.

And the result is…..

12st 6lb

Amazingly I’ve lost another pound so that’s another £1 for the Charlie Cookson Foundation.  And if I can lose another pound next week that will be 1 and 1/2 stone.  So this week I’m going to be extra good.

And my tip this week is……………

Being good will balance out the odd bad day.

Charlie Cookson – not just about wearing blue

Chris and Sarah Cookson set up the Charlie Cookson Foundation in memory of their son Charlie.  I recently talked to Chris and Sarah about their lovely boy and the brilliant work they do to support families with children who have life limiting illnesses.

Over the next few days I’ll share these videos but first let’s meet Charlie’s fantastic Mam and Dad.

Challenge #4 Boxing Day Dip

I’ve taken the plunge (not literally – at least not yet), I’ve signed the pledge, I’ve got the forms and I’m already to go (well nearly).

Yesterday I finally got round to collecting the forms so I can complete the Boxing Day Dip to raise money for the Charlie Cookson Foundation and I need as many people as possible to get involved.  It’s being held on Boxing Day (it’s all in the name) at Seaburn and I can promise you it will be cold.

But what’s a dip in the North Sea between friends.  So why not join me and help me raise some money.  Let me know if you want to join in and I’ll get you the forms.  What better way to get rid of the post Christmas fatigue than running in to sea when the temperature is likely to be below freezing.  You can even do it in fancy dress.

Now I know there’s a lot of people out there who will be thinking this isn’t for them and maybe you’re one of them.  But that doesn’t mean you can’t still help because you can.  You can sponsor me to help me raise as much money as possible.  And if you’re a bit of a sadist you could even come along and laugh at me making a fool of myself.

If you want to join in Facebook or Tweet me or leave a message on this page.

If you want to sponsor me go to https://www.justgiving.com/5iftyby5ifty/ and make a donation.

Good luck to all of you who take part and thank you to everyone for your help
