A big stumbling block and a change of tactics

I left you at just over 16st on a snowboarding holiday in Italy. Here is a picture taken a couple of months after I got back while at 16st...

Excuse the devil eyes!!

The thread title mentions a big stumbling block and it certainly was. I am not ill very often so it was a big shock while in Italy that I noticed blood in my urine. I decided to wait until I got back to get it looked at which was probably a big mistake. Turns out it was a rather nasty bladder infection which really knocked me out.
I was in horrible pain (and I don't mean pain like blokes usually complain about, I literally vanished from public view, people at work said I just looked broken!) for nearly 3 months while it cleared up. I was on the strongest anti-biotics they could administered short of taking me into hospital.

Anyway eventually everything cleared up but in the meantime I had completely abandoned by diet and exercise regime. I must admit that I didn't get back into it quickly and in fact thought that maybe I could be satisfied at my current weight. After all I hadn't been this weight since I was 16 and I was able to do a lot more of the physical things I enjoyed.

However this attitude changed when I weighed myself in October this year and found to my horror that my weight had crept back up to 17st!!

OH NO YOU DON'T FAT BOY! TIME TO GET BACK ON TRACK!

Then 2 things happened that gave me my new direction.

1. I got made redundant
2. I heard a radio commercial

Being made redundant gave me the time I needed to get my mind back onto what I really wanted out of life. Loosing weight was right up there at the top.
I was moving some stuff around in my house in preparation for decorating when I heard a radio ad for something called the Alizonne treatment. I thought it was probably a new pill or some nonsense fad but thought I'd check out the website anyway.

Next up...............First 4 weeks on my new regime
