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

Rising like a Phoenix!

My motivation and enthusiasm!

The sun is shining, the temperature is up to a very pleasant level, and I'm just back from an easy 50 minute cycle along the coast by The Solent. The gentle breeze was blowing the salty air from the sea and along the front they were cutting the grass, adding that lovely freshly mown smell that really reminds me of Spring.

It seems that it doesn't take much for me to go from moribund to enthusiastic; a simple, short bike ride in the sun and the change is marked.

And there's more CrossFit tonight (or Cross Dressing as Sags referred to it recently!).

Feel the Love!

So on the Dame Edna scale, how much do you like 'Cross Dressing'?

LOL in2!

Sunshine makes most things better -try some vit D3 supplementation, has made a huge difference to me.

Might I be right in thinking that your carb consumption is up again?

Good weather is definately a great motivation tool, sounds like a lovely place to cycle down there as well.

'Cross Dressing' is a 10 out of 10 at the moment; am thoroughly enjoying it.

No, carb consumption is well under control at the moment; been a very good week so far.

Yes, there are some lovely rides, although in the main I have to ride 30-40 minutes to get to the really nice bit.
