NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

It's Time To Get Serious.

I'm afraid I completely failed to make any progress towards the ambitious weight loss goal I set myself when home on R&R. On the plus side I didn't put any more weight on! So, 12 st 5lbs is the starting weight and 11 st 6lbs is the target. More good news arrived today in the shape of my turbo trainer and bike returning safely from Qatar, so they should be back up and running in a day or so, although the garage is a chuffin' cold place to be at the moment.

And here is where I will publicly announce my weekly weigh-ins and you can encourage, applaud or berate me as appropriate.

Other news, I've ordered my RAF Cycling skinsuit for this year's time trials, sportives and The Big One, Quelle Challenge Barcelona. And no, I've not ordered Extra Large!
