January and February were diet disasters of the Clarkson double-denim variety. I’m going to start again at Lent. In fact, this is precisely what I’m going to do:

  • Continue to drag along half-heartedly until Shrove Tuesday.
  • Go out with my colleagues for dinner on Shrove Tuesday.
  • Eat pancakes.
  • Start a new life on Ash Wednesday.
  • The life will consist of no alcohol until Good Friday and only one meal a day.
  • The meal will be large and carb-free except on Saturday when carbs are allowed.

And those are the rules. Maybe I’ll write more about the progress. I’d like to do so daily, but I have a lot to do.

There’s little point posting any statistics this weekend. Unless of course you want to break the red gun of your monitor. Whoops!
