New year diet adjustments......that fail...

Recommended Posts

This is the time of year that gym subscriptions rise and people start making minor diet adjustments (which don't last) in a bid to atone for Decembers gluttony. This week people in our office who normally head to Nando's have started coming back at lunchtime with salad. Subconsciously I did the same.


Working my way through the box of shredded vegetables was a joyless experience and it was so difficult that half way through I had to go back out and buy a big bag of crisps to go with it. Why do we do this?


And besides...I'm guessing that eating salad for a month doesn't compensate for several years of red meat, booze and fried stuff. Anyone else care to own up?

I'm actually being pretty good (we're in week two of 2015, mind).

My driver is expensive slim-fit shirts I wear to work are exposing my gluttony by not looking quite as elegant.

So I'm doing easy stuff - no chocs, sodas, snacks and eating 1-2lbs of fruit a day since I currently work near a great market. Also no beer in week and I'm finding already more energy and reduced likelihood of blowing a wad on new shirts. I'm not sure though whether fruit can eventually make me fatter.

Sounds all evangelical now but next week...

Trying really hard to have a no carbs diet for a month or so to shift the lardy stomach. Been ok so far but still a struggle having to think about what to eat. Also trying to stop the chocolate but hard to do when there is a cupboard full of it indoors.

    • There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.
    • I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
    • Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
