James Street South Bar+Grill – go and eat there…

The photo below is rubbish…………to be honest, I was so excited about the food and, was still buzzing from the quick sprint/dash around the corner to get cash which, Id forgotten would be needed to pay for lunch! doh!

This is the ‘Tamworth Ribs with Warm Pickled Cabbage’ from James Street South Bar+Grill

It was wonderful…..just wonderful…..the hurried picture does not do any justice what-so-ever!

If you need convinced by experts, Manuel does a far better review than me so, see what he thought when he visited - here and more recently with images here - or, see what Food Belfast thought here…….

James Street South Bar+Grill was superb – go and eat there…….do it!

Losing weight…

When I said in a blog post that I was a reasonably big lad and that I was going to try and lose a bit of weight, I meant it! I was unsure about blogging my progress but I think it could be a good thing now…..I think!

As I said, I sit far too much. I sit at my desk all day and despite getting up, stretching and moving around several times a day I needed to do something else. The only solution was to change my diet and get regular exercise.

So, thats what Iv been doing over the past 2-3 weeks.

There is no secret. There is no crash dieting!

Less food and more exercise. Thats it…..

So, I’ve managed to shift 7lbs in just under three weeks…. and I am not wrecking myself, which is encouraging!

But, this is a short post just to say whats going on….

As I keep on track with this what should I say? What would you like to hear as I try to shift some more pounds?

Hit me…

I’m a reasonably big lad so….

I posted a graphic yesterday about how ‘sitting is killing you.’

I don’t know about you but its killing me!!

Anyone in the area where we live will have seen me donning the adidas regularly in the last couple of weeks and well, initially just walking – Walking fast though …..I do believe its called power-walking!! And, now on a couple of occasions I have engaged in a wee bit of running also…….I must be mad!

The truth is, I am a little bit overweight!

I am a reasonably big lad so I can carry a bit extra and not look like James Corden! Not yet anyway…..

My job for the last 2+ years has involved a heck of a lot of sitting at a desk! My “career prospects” involve a lot more sitting (ha) so as a responsible adult I need to make a conceited effort to not sit myself to death!

So, more regular exercise and an actual proper eating plan commenced a while ago….

Don’t worry, I won’t be obsessive about it….much!

Is blogging about this a good idea? I have considered the pro’s and con’s for about a week now and its really about accountability….which, is a big part of why I blog in the first place.

So, lets see what happens eh……

Bring on the meat…

Big and meaty…..
