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 a Snow Day! :-)

Not for me I hasten to add; I managed to get in to work. But the school is closed and Mary decided not to go in to work; not because she couldn't get in to work but because the forecast of more snow may have prevented her getting home. And coming to work means I can at least get to the gym at lunchtime.

Training has been really enjoyable of late, doing something different and mixing it up is very refreshing. Nothing too hard at this time of year although I did manage some "10 second sprints 50 seconds easy" on the gym bike that was much harder than I anticipated. I'm also getting about 90 minutes a day of walking that is very pleasant, especially on days like today walking through the virgin snow with the lights from the Isle of Wight reflecting on The Solent.

I'm still eating and drinking too much of the wrong things, but I do enjoy it and it's making me feel good. It is beginning to show on the scales but what the heck, I'm going to continue enjoying myself through December and then take a more disciplined approach come January, when the buildup to The Outlaw will begin properly.

Take care out there folks, it's very slippery.

It's been very slippery here for over a week.

I detect a slip to the right in your returning from the darkside LOL!

Meals are primal, it's the 'inbetweeners' that are not. And the red wine is being measured in bottles not glasses!
