    Day 254: Lost over 4 stone so far 

    As of this morning, I weigh 18st 8lbs – so I’ve lost 4st 1lb!

    I’m well on track within my 1024 days, but I plan to reach a reasonable weight way before then. I’ve actually been pretty reckless food-wise recently, so I’ve only lost a few pounds in the last month – but my weight’s still moving in the right direction.

    I’m initially aiming for 14 stone (which would be totally fine) – but after that I’m going to keep going. The lowest I’ve ever been in my adult life is 13st 5lbs, but I want to go even further this time – I’m aiming for 13 stone. I’m interested to know what I look like at that weight – but obviously if it looks like I’ve gone too far I can easily put a half-stone back on. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in my life, it’s that gaining weight is very easy!

    Btw – when I look in my wardrobe right now I find myself in some kind of no-man’s land: the fat clothes are too fat, the thin clothes are too thin. Instead of buying new ones I think I’ll focus on speeding up the weight loss so that I can fit into the thin ones. It feels like a good plan.

      That boy is utterly stunning work!

      Aside: Put some sort of background on the article text as grey on black is pretty hard to read!

      Cheers mate! As you might've seen on Facebook, I've actually lost more than 6 stone now!

      Thanks for the heads up re. the theme etc – think I must've been mashed when I half-arsed restyling my blog a month or 2 ago. I've set the theme to a generic one for now so that at least everything is readable!

      I'm well shit at updating my blog, so I think I'm gonna switch to a status & video-cented homepage pretty soon, and just keep the blog entries in an archive.

      And I just fixed the Facebook Connect functionality too. My geek skills have clearly been letting me down!

    EPs are the way forward! 

    Long story short: I don’t think releasing an album right now is the best thing for me to do. Even if me and Jim get the rest of the tracks totally nailed, I think it would end up as a fairly random collection of songs rather than a coherant album. Instead, I want to use the tracks we have to make a number of EPs where all the songs fit together properly. And we could release the first one really soon.

    Here’s what I reckon I plan to do next:
    1. Sort the album tracks into lists of songs that make sense together (I’m aiming for at least 4 songs on each EP)
    2. Pick whichever list has the most songs on it that are finished
    3. Finish recording & mixing those songs
    4. Get the EP mastered
    5. Release the EP through a digital distributor (to get it on iTunes, Spotify, 7digital etc)

    Woop!
