Some advice from Monty Python on my 2nd blogiversary

May 24, 2012

I’ve just realised that this blog is now two years old. Faarck, where did that time go?! (And how many times I have written the word ‘diet’ or ‘weightloss’ during that time!!!???) Interestingly, in May 2010 and 2011 I basically weighed the same, which would be impressive if it wasn’t about 50kg (110lb) more than I should [...]
