After Monday’s towel fiasco, my gym regime has been going really well. I have managed to do some exercise every other weekday so far. My target is to burn 2000 calories per week (whilst exercising that is of course – not just simply to lose 2000 calories per week all-in. I am not setting 2000 calories a week as some sort of limit in which to carry out all of my weekly tasks. That’d be ridiculous. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t be typing this now, for risk of the activity taking me too far over my limit. Although it might be an interesting experiment to find out whether obesity, fatigue or boredom killed me first).

So far this week I have done 1700 cals, so just another 300 to hit my target. I hope I will stick to this regime. As you will know, I am a miser. It is a constant on-going concern that I am getting good value from my monthly gym membership fee of £28. If I can manage 2000 calories a week, that is roughly £1 for every 71.4 calories, which is great value for money!

Evidently there is only one more thing important to me than my health, and that is the health of my bank balance.
