Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: The Scales of Truth

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

The Scales of Truth

As Week 1 draws to a close it was time for the Scales of Truth this morning. And the result was (cue trumpet call - da da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaah!) - 12 st 2 lbs. Target is one pound per week so this week is a "Hit". Thanks for your confidence Sags! Indeed, although my last recorded weight on this forum was 12 st 2 lbs that was, as commented at the time, somewhat skewed by being dehydrated. I didn't actually record my start weight on here but it was 12 st 3 lbs, so one week down, one pound down - RESULT.

I took Bandit out for a run this morning and I have an easy bike ride with Sags planned for tomorrow morning. The plan is to spend an hour or so riding easy around the Cambridgeshire countryside before Sags goes and beasts himself with the St Ives Cycling Club fast group and I go home for a hot shower and a bacon butty! I will try and take some photos tomorrow on the new phone gadget type thing.

Sags said...: Ah a hit! Well done T Man. i only said miss to spur you on! Oh, and skip the bacon butty! Go for a protein drink before the shower and follow up with crumpet and boiled egg - much healthier 8-); 28 February 2009 at 12:42
