Work my body?

I do like eating in restaurants, some of which are obviously specifically designed for people like myself. However as part of the wonderful new life sans pain I am desperately trying to lose further weight. While I was 122.5Kg I am now only 106kg, but last week there was no loss so more work needs to be done. Put this together with the sad need to reduce the booze consumption and I begin to worry about whether it is worth it! In fact I seriously thought of getting Alice to imbibe the odd beer or two so I could at least watch and think of its pleasures. But that seemed a bit extreme and might reduce her possibilities on the tennis courts.

I therefore thought that perhaps not too far in the future I might see if a bit of exercise might get me to a position where I could join in the matches, after all as a "neo-colonialist" I should fit in reasonably well to the genteel sort of game I visualised her playing. But then I watched her win in an invitational ladies doubles tournament. I now know that the killer instinct is necessary if I am to join in the play!

But since Alice likes dancing, perhaps I should turn to that as we burn off calories together. Regrettably I have about as much dance ability as I have musical, so that is really out. I did think that a solution was viable but then it struck me that this was almost certainly going to provide more calories than I would be burning off - why is life never simple?

So even though I am hardly the outdoor type, although Alice is a bit closer to it than I due to her upbringing on a farm, I guess Alice and I may have to take an additional step a little further into our world of walking and go to the extreme.
