Project Weight Loss: Part Deux

Ok, so the FitDay account is set up. It's official, I'm doing this again. My weight as of today is 76.2kg, I'm 5 foot 6 and so my BMI is 27.11 - 25 is considered the top end of healthy. My aim is 59kg (random I know) by April 24th (random I know) this would put my BMI at a much healthier 21. That's just under a kilo a week (about 0.8 if anyone's interested.) I realise that Christmas is slap bang in the middle of this, and that (especially in my house) equals endless amounts of food. But I'm hoping I'll be able to pick up the slack in the new year. So, if anyone wants to do this with me that'd be great or if anyone can recommend an effective diet for vegetarians (I also don't eat egg, but will eat fish) that'd really be a massive help. Fingers crossed for me and my will power!

I love Christmas TV: It begins...

I know we're still a month (less than now!) but the Christmas TV has begun to trickle through onto British TV, or at least new series have started as winter sets in. And I couldn't love it more.

The Gavin and Stacey Christmas special from last year kicked it off, they showed it a few days ago and lured me in, it was all in preparation for the start of the new (and last :( ) series which showed it's first episode last night. And GOOD lord was it amazing!

You know when an episode finishes and you feel cheated and want more, that half hour episode just wasn't enough. I had that biiiiig time last night. Which shows me how amazing this show is. So for any Americans out there who've never seen it, youtube it, or try iPlayer (not sure how avaliable this is outside the UK) for the new series. See what all the fuss is about!

And then my obsession with Stephen Fry (it's not well hidden AT all) was satisfied by a new QI straight after G&S. And not only was it Mr Stevie, but Rob Brydon AND David Mitchell too!

So give the TV that got me excited this week a go and I'll be back next week (when Delia's been on, which I'm far too thrilled about, I love a good cooking show, she's no Nigella but she'll do,) if after watching those you don't fully agree that Ruth Jones, James Corden and Rob Brydon are comedic geniuses then I've got some convincing to do...

(Ooo! And for any radio fans, give this weeks Sorry I Haven't A Clue a go, it makes Monday evenings for me. Pure genius, plus it satisfies the old lady hidden in me.)
