Goodbye blogger

Dear all,

I am moving ! Virtually, that is. My blog has now moved to Wordpress (another blogging service) and can be accessed via the normal URL of http://www.benturner.org - if you already had this web address bookmarked, then you shouldn't have come here at all :)

People coming here via RSS will need to update their feeds to http://turnerstyle.wordpress.com/feed/

Might be a while before I move all the formatting over, but all the content should be over there right now. There will be no more updates on this site, so get over there now !!! And bookmark the http://www.benturner.org address, then if I move again, you'll magically come along with me next time !

Ben

(Note : Just noticed it may take up to 48 hours for the benturner.org address to redirect to the new site)

(Another Note : Hmmm.... website address does not seem to be updating ! I'll keep trying...)

Totally sick weight loss

Maybe I've learnt to look on the bright side of illness, but after a long running cold, during which I ate nothing but simple foods and generally tried to "starve" it off, along with a rather nasty bought of food poisoning, I noted my weight had dropped somewhat.

So I've been trying to keep up the healthier eating, keeping clear of the pints, and refusing all but the best snacks at work (my line manager's wife is darn handy with cakes and going through a baking spree at the moment, so it's been hard work let me tell you). And now the cold is gone, and equally the weather has decided to be fabulous, I can accompany that with a little exercise too.

All in all, I'm only 2-3 lbs away from being under BMI 30 again. A good milestone back toward being fit enough for 10km runs again; who knows, might get there again for this summer.

For now, it's 2-3km alternating running and brisk walking...
