After quite a bit of walking this week, I was able to get my weight back below 18 stone again.
17st 13lbs 8oz
Hopefully I can keep there for a while this time and loose some more weight.

Week 176 – July 29th – New TV
We decided to treat ourselves to a new television today. Kept it at the same size of a 32” screen.
For something modern, it was a bit painful to setup, because of the amount of details that had to be entered especially around the internet.
Who would have thought you would be doing that on television?
Hopefully I can appear on screen in something new.

Week 173 – July 9th – Not again
Back over the 18 stone mark again. 18st 1lb 4oz.
Looks like it’s going to be a right battle this year with the 18 stone goal.

Week 173 – July 8th – Gas coming down
We got an email from British Gas, that thankfully we will be lowering our monthly payment from £135.30 per month to £101.58.
As you can see though, it’s still over £100, which is nearly 2/3 more then what we were paying at the start of the year.
At least it’s going in the right direction.

Week 173 – July 6th – Ticket office closures
I sent this email in regarding closing of ticket offices at railway stations.
I understand the staff will be kept on, but I’m sure over time this will change.
I can understand them closing, but we need people there to help regarding tickets, not every trip is straight forward and often the straight forward one aren’t either.
“Good morning.
This is regarding all stations in the region.
The main thing we need is that there are guarantees of staff to man all these stations to help everyone regarding the tickets and access, plus any other question or issues that may occur on day to day running of the station.
Technology goes wrong as we all know, so we need staff there to help us with getting from A to B and when it’s working too for various reasons (I’m not going to list them), such as people can be coloured blind and can’t understand the ticket machine or even read it.
As we get older, we prefer to interact with people that understand the station and can provide answers.
Stations need staff to help and for safety too of the passengers.
Don’t lose the STAFF.”
Let’s see what happens.

Week 172 – July 2nd – Indiana Jones
First time at the cinema for a while to see the new Indiana Jones film.
It was an enjoyable film and good to see some of the previous characters back for this final film in the series.
Not sure about the time travel section though.

Week 171 – June 25th – The holiday weight
Due to all the good food in the Lake District and despite all the walking, I put on 6lbs, so was back over 18 stone, so again, just below 18 stone for 1 week.

Week 169 – June 6th – Gas bill jump
Claire got an email today, regarding our gas bill which was a bit of a shock.
Considering we used less than last year looking back at our records, which was impressive, as it was much colder this winter and we had been to the Maldives too last winter.
The bill as doubled to £130 from £65.
What I found crazy is the financial help is ending and we didn’t get any help on the gas bill, it was just the electric bill.
