So today I had my check-up at the doctor’s surgery. It turns out that I’d lost two kilos and 1cm around my muffin-top since my last visit, my BP was down to a better 128/78 and everything else was OK apart from my cholesterol which was reading 5.2 which is actual below the average UK level for men.

When all the stuff is put into a calculator, it means that in the next 10 years, I have a 6% chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke. Or put another way, a 94% chance I won’t.

Which is nice.

So, more vegetable soup for the next two days and repeat again (hopefully not ad nauseum…).
