Yes, I am still here folks, but it is the first time I have even logged on for 3 weeks.
It has been a bad 3 weeks since last report. I had a week in the USA/Canada, where it was not safe to venture outdoors much of the time, with temperatures below -25C at times. Not amusing at all. This was followed by a week in bed mostly, after I got back home, having picked up some foul bug en route which laid me distinctly low. Pretty much over that now though. An inexplicable knee injury picked up while washing the car, of all things, has made exercise impossible, because I cannot put any weight on it lest it collapse. I also have a trapped nerve or summat in my neck which is causing varied degrees of numbness in my left hand on and off. I am a right physical wreck. 
Nothing wrong with my appetite though .. in fact it is pretty good, has taken over somewhat, and I confess to you now, with heavy heart and as nonchalantly as possible, that I have ballooned up to 178 lbs. No, I am not proud of this and it is a major setback; best part of a year in fact. Just have to start all over again.
So that is where I am up to. I shall probably continue to report back here from time to time, not day to day as heretofore.
See how it goes, eh ?
