Beware the words which pour forth from the orifice of the face.
Now to some this may sound amusing, others sad, some stupid and others may nod sagely and pray for me.
My darling ninja wife was struck down last week, a particularly horrible bug. I said that perhaps I could get it to aid my weightloss...
Five days later I was struck down with the same thing. T'was sly to begin with, but over the course of six hours I went from feeling a tad perculiar to wondering if this was what the apocalypse was like. Until you have run into a bathroom and had the question "which end" in your head then frankly you've not been ill.
Two things struck; one, although it's difficult to prove it has reminded me that our words are extremely powerful and they do hold sway over many things. As the old adage goes, we reap what we sow. And two, my poor wife having to firstly go through this and then secondly look after me while I went through it!
So in future I will be a little bit more careful about wishing sickness on myself to aid weightloss. And I will continue to be ever so grateful for the kindness of my wife who has been amazing this weekend. How she put up with me I don't know, she obviously must love me very much because I was not a pretty sight for most of the weekend, and as I haven't shaved for over a week now rather hairy!
On the subject of the diet, decided not to weigh myself to next week. Just in case any weight that has been lost is then regained in trying to get healthy after the weekend's exploits! Although I am hopeful that with all the extra walking I have been doing over the course of the last week that I will keep heading in the right direction.
