I had my monthly weigh in yesterday and saw the cracking of the 5 stone lost barrier, well chuffed to say the least. My only slight annoyance was that I didn't do well enough to see the figure 16 stones on the scales, they read 17 stones 1Ib. Ah well, all things being equal I'll see that at my next monthly weigh in.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect to be honest, I'd had pretty much 2 weeks off the bike this month, 1 through a scheduled rest period and the other an enforced lay off due to my little contretemps with the car, the tarmac and the kerb.
But to offset that, this week has been brilliant, a full 5 days commuting pedalling, really good with my grub and I've been noticing my clothes have been getting baggier.
But as we all know, you can never be sure until you step on the instrument of truth.
So the weekend. Usual stuff I think, get my bike de-gunked, keep the kids occupied and try to get some downtime in. The Dodford beckons this afternoon.
Oh yeah, I'm off on a little pedal tomorrow morning with my mate Ski. Report on that in due course.
Must take time out too to big up Matt over at the Weighty Biker, take a bimble over there and have a read of his day yesterday.
A hell of a pedal yesterday mate, really well done, I hope that's shown you what we all knew you were capable of. Top going feller!
Oh and get your arse out of bed earlier so you can pedal further! HaHa!
Yesterday's pedal home was a routine Frankley Beeches trip if pretty slow, I hate headwinds! Added to the fact I was carrying a fully loaded daysack which I plonked on the scales and it came in at a bloody horrible 35Ibs, no wonder, that would have been like pedalling for me back around Christmas!
