I'm half way through my summer holiday as its 35 here right now and way too hot to work, well thats my excuse

As a part of my holiday eating out with a bottle of wine lunchtime, bottle of wine mid afternoon with tapas & one with evening meal is having a rather negative effect on my waistline and today thought I'd just have a peep - 7 lbs in one week only another week to go and about 6 restaurants still on my target list, along with some very fine reds I bought

Well I knew I would put on a little bit and once the holiday is done back onto the diet ...yeppie

Mind you with the weather we are having right now and 36 (100 ) on the cards for tomorrow you need to keep drinking LOTS of fluids

Where's GSM when you need him? lol.. I feel your pain lad, though I actually don't have a scale, I measured myself going back about 6 belt sizes as of last April, so far I've moved up about 1, and on a good day I can buckle all six. But I've been working in a sedentary fashion lately and the worst part is the hot weather and humidity blows me up, even though I'm not eating or drinking any more.

I will say that once you loose, it feels GREAT!, then once you start to balloon up it's, well, a drag and a nuisance. But I'm investing a concerted effort towards minding my meals and that means not eating to close to beddie-bye.

PS: Tiggs, I was wondering, do you drink the local Spanish wine or go for another vineyard? Reason I'm asking is Spain has some really good wine, I buy the white, but I'm a staunch France man myself, cotes du rhone and bordeaux are my favs. I rarely deviate from those two, but Spain does have some good read.

That's actually pretty smart itchy. Sitting on your ass all day for work isn't good for you. You should get up and do something (anything) once every 20 to 30 minutes.

A standup desk is also a good option. They have some pretty neat ones out there now that will move up and down to suit your mood and can handle multiple monitors.

So put your coffee maker and wine on the roof tigs

I love that idea, I've been entertaining that thought for a while now but do to 50% business + 50% laziness, haven't gotten around to it. I did however talk to one of my construction friends about having something built.

Ol' Tiggs would need a crane to lift his barrels up to the roof, and I fear if he starts staggering around on the roof top it could be a big 'splat' for our boy

There are a lot of slick solutions out there. This is one but I don't like the small area of movibale desk space:
