This week has been a little different. Felling a little tired at times and so wondering is this was my apnoea back or whether it was just the weight loss program. Anyway, got the results from the sleep clinic and hear I now have only 'slight' apnoea which is a change for where I was, which was seriously bad apnoea. So maybe it is just the way things are.
Also, feeling the cold really bad this week, unlike my 'old' self. Hello 'cold' friend!
Going well at the gym now with around 3 visits a week and my BPM is coming down each visit and strangely I am enjoying it! The feeling of euphoria after the work out and then sauna and steam room is fabulous, all the endorphins rushing around...lovely.
Anyway, weigh in and I lost a further 3.3lb, which takes my net weight down to under 13 stone which is lower than I can ever remember since I was a lad and just married.
As such this chnage is now causing the wallet to be hurting as I have to buy more clothes (thank goodness for E-bay). Strange when you buy more new clothes this seems to bring out a 'requirement' for the wife to also buy more clothes for herself, coming out in sympathy for my need I guess!
This song seems highly appropriate as not only are more and more people meeting me and saying how different I look, am beginning to realise how different I feel (and look). So it is a little like the 'old friend' in question is me from a long time ago. It is a little scary at times, because I wonder why it took me so long to meet this 'new person' and have left this 'meeting' for so long. Ah well.....

Hello friend, where you been so long?
Time goes by, so easy it sleeps away
Just like a shadow at the end of the day
Hello friend, how are things for you these days?
Some guy from way-back-when, he mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah, you know I told him to
Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call
And I often wonder how we lost what we knew
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
The bridges you burned, long sinced turned into ashes
When there were no reasons, now the river runs dry
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
Where you been so long

Hi John, Glad your still doing well. I had a bad week this week but still lost 2lbs. Had my trip to St Thomas for the sleep clinic. I am still waiting for the results. Now got to go into hopsital on Monday for another problem, seems to be one thing after another. I am also trying to build a web page for a New Rugby club but soon realised that was not going to be easy, will have to book myself on a course very quickly. I have started to sell my larger works suits on ebay to help me buy smaller clothes, it is amazing I have gone down from a size 22 to a size 18 already. Keep up the work. Regards Linda

Nobody's perfect and a least you did lose. Consider it a lesson on lowering your food intake and still being able to lose weight!
I cna tell you the weight loss will help your position on sleeping whatever happens and I know from experience the CPAP machnes are not too much of an issue, once you get used to it.
Sorry to hear about your helath issues. I hope all works out ok on Monday....let me know and if I can help, I am a good listener!!!!
Your shape changing is amazing too! I squeezed into (and bought cos I am that vein :-))some 34" waist trousers at the week-end. I dont want to be any smaller than this, so just need to make them easy and comfortable and that will do me......and then I will post the photos!
Have a good week and good luck Monday
John
