One of the things I want to explore, both with this site and with my YouTube channel is the idea of adding recipes. I quite like to cook and it is definitely in my family on my dad’s side believe it or not. My granddad was a chef, even working as a...

One of the things I’m wanting to get up and running is a video channel documenting my progress, my thoughts on the fitness and diet industries, and just general meanderings on the state of what I’m up to. I haven’t decided how many videos I’ll uploa...

In this day of Big Data forming stories and profiles about us, we can use data we collect to do the same. I’ve collected data about my body sizes over the course of a couple of months. I actually thought today marked two months of complete data but i...

In terms of work I did very little. Sadly we had a very good worker retire with his last day being today. It was a pretty low key affair as ordering food for him is unfair due to his diabetes. But we did farewell him nicely. It’s sad to see a good...
