Hoorah !

Gym for luncheon.

20 minutes X-Trainer, hills level 11, 4.5Km
20 minutes rec-cycle, hills level 11, 7.0Km

I hope to hit the ground in June at some semblence of fitness.

Happy with the restart - compulsive behaviour help me now !

Mr. Creosote

15 Stones 2.5 Lbs !!

This is the largest I have been for a while. That is set to change.

Yesterday was sit ups, plank then a 2hr walk around the Marina and SA1 developments. Thin end wedge-wise but yet another dawn has risen on fit fat fight.

A Kebab with all the trimmings spelt a farewell top arms and a diet watch. That said I do have a jar of green curry paste ( thank you Nigel Slater ) in the fridge, a few tins of coconut milk, jars of Nam Pla, Kaffir lime and lemongrass hanging about and it would be such a waste if they were wasted.

Back on the road with the Garmin yesterday. 4 mins 47 seconds better than last time out on that route, but 2 mins 16 seconds off my best time.

Pinky and Perky

Thrown a day off by life as Ben was with me and I took him to school in the morning, I had a lunchtime meeting scheduled, and had to hit the road straight after work. Thus no room for training.

Mr DeMille

No gym yesterday but I put my patience under considerable pressure for a prolonged period which must be muscle building resistance work !

Filmed a few TV commercials for the firm yesterday. I hung around for hours then stood still in the final shot ( I had had to slip off to the bar in a hotel accross the road on one occasion and to the Barn on two occasions so I did miss out on a few hours of standing around )

"Did you know that when filming Dr Who the target is to record 2 minutes of useful footage per day of shooting"

Wholly unastounded I recoiled and struck with a deft "Did you know there is no name for the back of the knee"

After that retort I retired for a celebratory pint or two !

Time 2

I did return to the gym later on yesterday afternoon. Hot and bothered I went for a dip - I only managed 200m before the frustration cause by half of the pool being cordoned off for lessons and the busy crowd of the open half caused me to give up the ghost.

Still, better than nothing at all !
