One middle-aged man's latest desperate attempt to shed the pounds and return to fitness
Day One
Published on June 21, 2004 By Peter Attaway In Diet
WEIGHT : 244 pounds
EXERCISE : 75 minutes cycling
ALCOHOL : 3 cans lager, half bottle dark rum...

Well, all went well on the first day exercise-wise (cycling to and from work) and food-wise (just sensible eating), but as for the alcohol, I'm more than a little embarrassed. I have a handy excuse though, as the lager was consumed during England's latest Euro2004 match (4-2 v Croatia - hurrah!) which I viewed in a bar (at the local fire station) so it seemed a little churlish to stand there sipping orange juice. And the beer was cheap. So there. I now have the chance to abstain for two whole days, until England v Portugal. As for the dark rum, I just polished off my father's day present. I feel shameful. Well, not really.
