Wed 25th April         10.am Well I'm just on a sun lounge on the balcony of the apartment we're staying in, I have been awake for about half an hour, and the sun is cracking the flags, its not quite over the apartment yet, but its coming this way.  I'm on my second cigarette, which is not so good, the way I'm going I think its looking like I might be smoking about 60-70 a day over here, so I need to be watching what I'm doing.   We are abut to go down to the pool bar for some breakfast (less than£2 English money for a full cooked English breakfast, that will do me) then we are going to go off and find the supermarket, to buy some food for us to cook in the apartment, We have not got very much spending money, so the more we can save this week on food, the better time we can have on the long drive home.   Up to now I have heard 3 people talking about losing weight, so I thin a bit of forum promotion might go down well over here. I'm sitting (well lounging) here with just a pair of shorts on and every time some one walks past they seem to stair, well if feels like there staring at me, But then they do all seem like once friendly people, there is not one of them who has not said hello or stopped for a chat, this might because they have realised there stirring so want to look friendly, or it might just be that there not stirring, and I just think they are.   well, till the next update, bye for now, I'm off to get my breakfast cooked for me.   Update 3.30pm We had a nice healthy (ish) breakfast, 1 slice of bacon, 2 sausage, some beans 2 eggs, tomato and 1 slice of toast.   after breakfast we went looking for Bazza's bistro to use his internet connection, unfortunately we could not find it, so at the moment I'm still unable to get online, to upload the diary.   There are lots of internet cafe's around, and an internet terminal in our pool bar, but you can not use your own laptop, or upload your own content to the net, so they are no good for the diary upload's, but I will probably use them to log onto the forum later tonight.   The weather is about 26C at the moment and its sunny, and just starting to become hazy.   I am determent to find somewhere I can upload from if not tonight then on Thursday.   Update 9pm We  have just been out for tea, I had Lasagne with chips, and garlic bread, there was only a few chips, and only 2 small pieces of garlic bread though, so I think it was quite healthy. with it I had a pint of coke "light" it tastes foul, but I'm sticking to the plan as best as I can. Chris, my mate had a mixed grill, and I think I will be going back and having one of them, pork chop, sausage, bacon, sirloin steak, chicken breast, and a few chips, and some salad on a plate the size of the table. Both meals cost less then 6 Euros', so about £4 a meal. I wish it was like that back home, we would all have a good time getting skinny.   Well, I'm just off to the clouds pool bar now to have a go on there internet and check up on everyone on the forum, there are a few members that have there weigh in on a Wednesday and Thursday, so I want to see how they have done.   Update 12.05am We have just got back from the pool bar, I had 2 Malibu and diet coke's, and I am just having another one on the balcony, they have gone straight to my heat though, I don't normally drink, and its been about 12months since my last drink, so I'm enjoying these.   I had a play about with the internet service in the bar, they have a pay per minute machine hat you can use, You cant upload anything, so I could not put this diary online yet, but I could surf the web, I went on the fat2slim forum to say hi to everyone, and I managed to jet a couple of posts typed out, then the keyboard started to go a bit strange, so although I read all the posts made, I could not type any replies properly.  so I was not being ignorant, it was just the computer I was using, sorry if you saw me online, and then disappear again.   there are lots of people coming on the site now, and the fat2slim forum offering free slimming help and support is really taking off, because of this we had started running out of bandwidth, in the last 10 days we had used a normal 3months worth of this bandwidth so I had to get in touch with the website host to arrange an upgrade. they where very nice, and have given me an extra 5Gb of bandwidth for free, so I would just like to say a big thank you to www.solid-hosting.net for there help and support.   Update 1am Well just thought I would let you know I'm off to bed now.   hope to update soon,   Mark Crook.             Footnote Please remember to sign my guest book, inspirational thoughts can be left in the guest book at any time.. and as often as you wish.   Also remember to sign up to our fat2slim, free slimming help forum.  the forum is for everyone to support each other..  its not just to help me, but to help everyone that wants somewhere to go for inspiration, fun and games. the fat2slim slimming help forum is a great place to keep track of how everyone is doing..  so come and join in the chat now..  we're all waiting for you.
