Slack slack slack

Hello all.

It seems the only thing slacker than my diet at the moment is my commitment to this blog. To be frank life's been pretty busy this last couple of weeks and I've been falling behind on a lot of fronts including this diary. Now let me assure you I'm not giving up but I have leveled out a bit in enthusiasm for both the diet and the daily writing task but I'm sure I'll make a comeback on both fronts in the near future.

Since my 2 kilo loss on Saturday I've pretty much had a flat week. It's looking like I'll neither lose or gain anything of note by Saturday unless I find the time to run a marathon sometime before then. I'm smack in the middle of  a week of radio Prac for uni which is enjoyable but fairly full on. The main problem is that it's a full week of work in addition to my normal uni and volunteer load so it makes for a tired boy.

I have hit a hurdle though regarding my weekly exercise routine. While shooting some hoops on Sunday afternoon I managed to injure my shoulder and at this stage it hasn't really recovered. I've had problems with the shoulder before and I'm sure its related to the arthritis I have in other joints. I'm booked in for a doctors appointment tomorrow to try to get some relief and hopefully resume some exercise. The problem is that at the moment I can't lift my right arm above about 30 degrees and its aching most of the time so I'm a bit over it.

I must admit I'm having one of those can't be stuffed weeks at the moment and I'm finding motivation a little hard to find. These are more often the times when I begin to let myself down do I'm doing my best to hang tough and stick to the plan.

I want to send a big hug out to my Mum who today had a fall and unfortunately has broken her hip. I wish I was there tonight to be with you but I'm sending my love out from afar and I know you'll be o.k. soon.

Alright, I'll leave it at that tonight and start looking for a news story for tomorrow radio bulletin. Work,work it never ends hey.

Cheerio for now
