Well, it couldn’t be put off any longer – I had to get back out on my bike! It had been a long lay-off and I needed to start getting fit again. The weather down in the valley wasn’t too bad today. Cold, but not bitter, a few sunny intervals. I had intended to do [...]
I’m still cutting back on my beer drinking, but I haven’t upped the exercise yet so there is just another small weight loss to report. I am now 15 stone 0.5 pound (210.5 pounds, 95.5 kg). Overall loss since starting blog is 12.2 pounds (5.5 kg). No change to the OJ-ometer this week!
