Day 79 (phase 2) - The tide is turning

This week I had the reality check which is probably overdue in terms of my weight loss. I have stumbled back into some of my old ways and just taking a little to much wine with my evening meal. I wouldn't say I am drinking too much (compared to before), but clearly too much in terms of what is good for me.

I found at my weigh-in that I had gained nearly four pounds in the week, whilst kidding myself that drinking nearly a bottle of wine a night was ok....get a grip John, you have acheived so much, don't throw it away.

So next week, no pain but most certainly NO GAIN.

A good week for evidence of how easy it is to not only slip back into old ways but also how easy it is to put weight straight back on.

The tide is turning, oh the tide is turning.......

Title: The tide is turning

Artist: Roger Waters

Album: Radio KAOS

Year: 1987

I used to think the world was flat

Rarely threw my hat into the crowd

I felt I had used up my quota of yearning

Used to look in on the children at night

In the glow of their Donald Duck light

And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning

But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning

Satellite buzzing through the endless night

Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights

Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning

Who is the strongest

Who is the best

Who holds the aces

The East

Or the West

This is the crap our children are learning

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
