Progress Report – Week 47

I didn’t lose any weight last week, but I only got one bike ride in so I’m not really surprised. I did a decent ride yesterday and feel much better than I have for the past few weeks so I feel ready to make a big effort on the run up to Christmas
Oh, well… I [...]

Road Ride – ‘Climbs Hills Slowly’

I was finally feeling better after my recent cold and I’d arranged another CycleChat forum ride for today. Shame then that the weather forecast was so bad and a poor turnout was likely, despite a record number of people having expressed interest!
Once again, rain had been beating down on my attic bedroom window most of [...]

Ah, The Great Outdoors…

Having been stuck indoors sniffling and coughing for over two weeks, I finally felt better and managed to get out on a little stroll with Lisa this afternoon. We did our route along the Calder Valley Cycleway and back via Nest Estate and Crow Nest Wood, with a stop afterwards at the cafe at Innovation [...]

A Letter From Mozambique

I had intended to get on my gym bike today but I decided to give myself one more day to stop wheezing from my recent cold. I didn’t used to be this cautious but I rushed out on my bike once, the first chance I got after a chest infection and I ended up unconscious [...]

Progress Report – Week 46

There was no overall change in my weight over the past week. I actually lost weight at the start of the week but then put it back on again. It’s not surprising, given that I haven’t done anything energetic for 2 weeks now, due to having a bad cold and the weather in northern England [...]

Exciting News About My Cold!

Either that, or I’ll have to consider buying [...]

Progress Report – Week 45

I’ve moderated my beer drinking and am losing weight again. It is time to resurrect the progress reports so, yes, the hairy gut photos are back, but they will only be featured when I actually lose weight. I want to have a photographic record of every stage of my weight loss, but there doesn’t seem [...]

Caught a Cold

I came down with a cold since coming back from the Midlands earlier in the week. I’ve been taking it easy to give myself a chance to get it over with ASAP, but I’m getting bored of hanging about the house all the time. I was supposed to be cycling tomorrow, but I don’t feel [...]
