Pride Comes Before a Wall

Man Mountain has run straight into an invisible wall several weeks into the marathon weight loss programme. 
Gigantaraurus still feels like the monster is losing weight (starving) but the scales told a different story this week. Barely an ounce was left on the War on Waist battlefield. I’m blaming a celebration meal we enjoyed to welcome home some of the family from a London trip, but it wasn’t that big a feast.
Anyway, the big lad should have realised the writing was on the wall when the times were digitally distributed for the latest parkrun. Huffing and puffing at the end of another very wobbly waddle on Saturday morning the lard lugger confidently predicted a personal best time. Ping, the eagerly-awaited news was beamed to a screen near me and it revealed the 5k trek had taken more than two minutes longer than the previous best.
Looks like the exercise element of the weight-losing battle will have to be stepped up, however daunting a prospect that might be.
On the other hand, a serious search has begun to find food that will help to maintain the molehill version of the mountain. Something tastier than rabbit food, it’s getting too autumnal for that, but it has to be healthier and less calorific than much-missed old favourites.
First course of the new menu turned out to be African-inspired sweet potato and black bean burgers thanks to https://blog.fatfreevegan.com.
To be fair they were very spicy and very tasty and offered hope of being able to survive on the lower slopes of man mountain.
