Don't actually feel to bad about today lol, slept late but I had a little bit of a hangover from the night before :) naughty Dazz. Really had to have the Sushi because it was reduced at ASDA due to going out of date, so was the Vindaloo which I enjoyed immensely (figured all the sweating from the spice would help burn off the calories hehe)
On a down note, my knee still appears to be buggered and giving me quite a lot of pain so it doesn't look like I'll be Jogging tomorrow either. I think though it should be OK for me to start cycling a bit on Tuesday and try to build up the strength to Jog again.

A bit worried about my knee and also eating Murray's pies today, the are greasier than a mechanics bollocks lol. Ah well I'll just have to work harder once my knee's feeling up to it. From looking online (yeah I'm an amateur Doctor too :) it appears I have runners knee which is -

Definition: A softening or wearing away and cracking of the cartilage under the kneecap, resulting in pain and inflammation. The cartilage becomes like sandpaper because the kneecap is not riding smoothly over the knee.

 As told by the Time to Run website.

So I'm going to rest it up a bit and see if it will sort itself and wear a knee support when I start Jogging again.

Woke up feeling good and ready to Jog but after my knee gave out felt pretty crap and in pain. Don't think I'll be able to Jog tomorrow and will just rest my knee until it can hold my weight without hurting like hell, if its still bad on Saturday morning I will probably use my mountain bike to cycle for 20-30 minutes so I don't undo all the hard work so far. Also need to still look at my smoking and drinking water a bit more to see if I can cut down further on the smoking and up my intake of water instead of coffee and tea etc.

Feeling -

Been feeling a little poorly today, kind of sick :( so I've skipped the exercises and jogging because I didn't want to risk making it worse. Also missed most of today's meals but felt better towards the evening so had dinner and a snack/supper later on. Spoke to my lovely girlfriend about stopping smoking and we've decided that I should try a little further into my fitness/weight loss plan because it can apparently increase your appetite (my girlfriend gave up smoking recently so the voice of reason) which would be disastrous for me at the moment lol. So I'll continue to cut them down and give up altogether when I reach about 12st I think.

I also ate really late which is why I only really had a snack but I must start eating earlier.
