Day 3 - My first weight check

I went for my first weight check today at the 'clinic' and wondered why I was checking so soon? First step was to go to the toilet first, of course, having already had my first litre of water of the day.

Anyway, amazed as I was, I have lost just over 5 pounds already in just two days. So no reason to have the blues as things are going well and I feel great!

Talking of the blues, I love blues music and this great tune by Big Bill is a cracking little number for anyone around my sort of age who is maybe beginning to feel old. I find this song inspiring as it reminds me not to feel old before my time and it is of course, great music.

Title: Getting older every day
Artist: Big Bill Broonzy
Album: String Dazzlers: Great Blues Guitarists
Year: 1940

You say you're gettin' old, Lord older every day
You say you're gettin' old, yeah you say you're gettin' older every day
Now you ain't but fifty, ooh Lord boy you shouldn't feel that way

Now when you get so old, you can't work at no mill
Yeah when you get so old, Lord boy you can't work at no mill
Now don't you make no date, ooh Lord buddy that you can't fill

Now if your luck don't change, boy don't you be sad
Yeah if your luck don't change, now buddy don't you be sad
Now you really gotta learn Lord to take the good now with the bad

Now when you get old, and your good girl don't want you around
Ooh Lord when you get old, and your good girl don't want you around
Now you know you done run out of commission, ooh boy I declare you are poorhouse bound
