That is the end of the Christmas break, around about 6:30am tomorrow there should be an audible groan across the nation as we all awake and realise that we can’t just turn over and go back to sleep like we have for the past 10 days.
As with most Monday’s it is my weigh in night, the day of reality, when the illusion of the the past weeks diet is confirmed or broken, I think in my case it will be broken, but the bigger question will be by how much.
Not only is it the day most people go back to work it is the day that the battle of the bulge starts in earnest for 2010. And for the first time I have set myself a target, I am hoping to have a weekend away in May this year with some online friends and I have already stated to them that I intend to be 17st 7lbs or lighter by the time we meet. So the line has been drawn I just need to work at it to make sure it becomes reality.
I don’t weigh myself at any time during the week apart from my weigh in night, I did it a couple of times in the early days but there no way to ensure that the scales I used will read the same as those used by Slimming World. Finding out that I have lost weight on my home scales only to find I had gained on the Slimming World scales is very disheartening so I soon gave that idea up.
Today ride (as suggested yesterday) was only a short ride but it take my Xmas break total to over 91 miles. Would really like to do more but really only cycling two days a week make it difficult unless some nice company want to donate me a nice set of light to test…hint…hint
Well I managed to get a picture of my trustee steed today, though I better get a picture of it as it may be going (more on that in a later post). Yes it still has the pretty reflectors, I have a deal with the wife they stay on the bike until they fall off……………boy are they stubborn things!!
