I am.

Not been on the bike for a week now and we're off to the brother in-laws for turkey curry or something like that. May be mildly tedious but his daughters are both easy on the eye and the boyfriend of the elder one is a West Ham fan :twisted: so I should be able have a bit of fun today...

    Major change of eating habits and training schedule starting New Year!

    FTFY :wink:
    Feeling fat and too icy to get out on the bike.
    Detox day today, then back on it tomorrow.
    May get on the bike at some point. There is a turbo in the cupboard which should be used but I simply cannot be ar$ed.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Think I might have to make do with doing a few weights for now as the chances of getting on the bike again this year are pretty slim. Not that it'll lose me any lard. I just stepped on the scales as well - curiosity got the better of me - 73kg :( Not that New Years resolutions are any good :roll:

    If they like fat blokes you might be in there. :wink:

    I was feeling fat but went for a 12km walk today in one of the country parks - almost 800m of ascent and descent. Now I'm not fat but my knees are fu@ked.......

    You're not wrong. One section of today's walk was over 1km at an average gradient of 25-30%. It's a killer on the knees.

    There's pros and cons living here, though. True, there's no snow or frost - current daytime temperatures are hovering around 15 degrees or so, although today was very humid and misty on the tops so there was no view from the Pat Sin Leng range. I've been out riding 4 days in the last week, and the forecast is for sun again for the next week or so. However, on the negative side much of the riding is on bike paths and many of the roads are very dangerous due to the generally poor quality of driving as it would appear that the locals can judge neither speed or distance and are bullying @rseholes....Can't have it all.

  • Just done an hour on the turbo, it's eased my conscience but I would imagine done very little in reality.

    despite a decent ride on boxing day and a swim and a 4 mile run today I'm feeling fat. Thankfully eaten relatively well today and going out for a couple of hours run tomorrow.

    Later today is the theatre with the bin lids to watch the borrowers, so should be fun

    Not feeling fat, well no more than usual.

    Took the crudder out, felt weird so came home quickly and took the real bike out and got wet and freezing cold to the point I was scared I couldn't operate my brakes :)

    More food and drink tonight with friends. the best part of this time of year eh!

    I take the view that it's better to enjoy your food and cycle off the excess rather than be a racing snake.

    Quite right Slowmart. About to have another huge meal at my folks. Mmmmm. I'm not as skinny as I used to be, but who cares.

    The better half?

    I am in the same boat, I do watch what I eat as such but I'll never say no to a meal out or a glass of wine. Cheese and Ham are always nice. And chocolate, god damn chocolate

  • I don't have any real problem with chocolate, will indulge in a kitkat chunky or picnic bar now and again, it's crisps for me. I am an absolute sucker for crisps, especially when I've a beer on the go. Cheese too, I eat far too much cheese. Luckily I inherited naturally skinny genes from my father otherwise I'd be an absolute bloater.

    I have a real problem with chocolate , it gives me migraine.

    Helps keep the weight off though.

    Beer makes me ill, not so happy with that one :( not good for someone who worked in Germany for years. Can just about survive 2 small ones in Belgium and that's it.

    Still, it meant I learnt a bit about German wines :D

    Not feeling fat, just had my regular 4 meal and snacks today..

    Spent an hour or so cleaning bike bits and wrestling with that pesky thing you put in a Campag overboard cup whilst you torque the crankset up.
    Thing 2 has had a very high temperature today so been paying nurse to the poor sausage and stripped her down to nappy, cold cloths and lots of fluid. Then she emptied the contents of her stomach all over me as i tried to carry her to bed. Must go as she is bawling and due some Calpol. Hope to get a banana or something to carry her through the night or bike plans for tomorrow are out of the window.

    Laters.

    Sounds messy.

    Just got back from our day round at the in-laws where my second curry in 24 hours could have similar consequences. Idid at least manage to sit in between the hot sisters at the dinner table to keep my interest up :)

    Nope - I'm very well behaved, it's just fortunate they can't mind read :twisted:

    Have you got any pictures of them?

    If you want to make yourself a decent pervy uncle you'll need to get your own material.
