Project: Lard - Initiation

As trailed previously, the initiation of Project: Lard (in association with PCM) took place today. Eshewing offers from Sky, Setanta and BBC News 24 to stage it at some big casino in Vegas, the weigh-in eventually took place in the exclusive "James and Sarah Pearson's Bathroom" before a packed audience of no-one.

The shocking news is that I tip the scales at a frighteningly chunky 14st 4lbs (or 90.7 kilos for metric fans), which is more than any of the informal guesses I've had this week. Sarah immediately re-assured me with a soothing "Err, well muscle is heavier than fat". I responded that this may well be true, but it is equally true that quite a lot of fat is heavier than a smaller amount of fat. A truism that I fear may be a bit closer to the mark as the only perceptibly muscly area of my body is located around the right fore-arm. How on earth has that happened?

Anyway here is the promised graph, although it isn't really all that exciting at the moment, I'll see what we can do to make it a bit livelier next time.

  1. Hi guys. I'm loving the blog and I'm currently glued to my computer screen (you must be familiar with that predicament Jim?) for updates on Project: Lard. Apart from waiting for results on the week 2 weigh in (although shouldn't that be week 1 after starting with week 0 as the 1st week?) I'm waiting to see the results of the alcohol abstinence. Surely after 15 years of constant binge drinking it’ll take more than a week for your major organs to recover and allow you to cycle faster? Anyways, I’m off back to the main page to resume pressing the refresh button. P.S. I promise to join in with a training run soon. Bye for now.
