Good day

Had a very enjoyable day yesterday with Scott, Nic and the girls. Boat trip up and down the Thames, picnic, fun in Greenwich Market and park. Weather held, although a bit chilly. Good times had by all (apart from the moment Evie left her thumb in a door way when the door was shut, think sh'es gonna lose that nail).
Good to see you again guys.

Gym

Despite feeling much fitter and also, I think, looking better, I weighed myself last week and have put on 7 pounds since starting... Hmmm, not all the holiday surely!? Anyway, onwards and upwards, hopefully....

Message for Lou

Sometimes things that are really important to you one day you forget about. If you write about them then look back you can gain strength from those feelings... grasshopper.

WANTED

Not talking about being lazy, doing nothing, sitting on a beach drinking beer.

I'm talking about 'relaxation work', appreciating my wife, my kids, and all thats around. Talking about a small holding living on bread and wine, living off the land. Talking about no borrowing, no wanting what the borrowing allows, talking about living.

Maybe one day.

Many many hours of hard work and Hollie has her reward. My little H, once of multi coloured bumpers and aspirations to be 'a singer' has her 2:1

So so happy for you.... CONGRATULATIONS!

Who ate all the pies

After seeing myself in holiday pics, decided it's time again to hop back onto the healthy lifestyle rollercoaster. Have cut out bread from my diet mon-fri, allowed a little at weekends, no crisps/biscuits/chocolate etc. Trying to eat more veg aswell as the fruit. Also altered workout to include more cardio, bike and rowing. Going well at the moment, actually do feel better and I think, just think that the tennis balls which had been developing in my armpits are starting to deflate ....
