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.

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!
