    I found the a curry I prepared for lunch the other day but ran out of time to start eating in the fridge when I was getting the meat etc out to make tonight's chilli so have just noshed that off as a pre dinner snack.

    ...can't afford to eat because they spent their money on booze and spirits having no calories. It's a nightmare trying to stick a needle in them as everything's collapses.

    Beer drinkers tend to be fat cause it's full of calories.
    I find that to be the perfect justification for vastly reducing my beer intake.
    And vastly increasing my malt whisky intake.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I AM as skinny as Froome, under all this fat. He's screaming to get out.
    Weaknesses include, but are not limited to; ham, cheese, cake, bread, butter, beer, wine, spirits, crisps and nuts. For the sake of balance, I also love green leafy veg and all pulses. I just love grub.

    Lifting too many weights in the gym!! 5'7" 13.5 stone, is not the ideal riding physique. Who wants to look like Froome anyway!!

    Cider and wine - no one to blame but myself (and the wife too)

    It’s not the weight that’s the issue for me.

    I’m the healthy side of being close to pro weight anyway.

    It’s the fact my VO2 max is about 60% that of Froome’s.

    Not a hope in hell I’ll be fast enough.

    Expresso doesn't make you fat MF. That said, I am usually the thinnest person in the pub when visiting your end of the world.

    agreed re espresso.

    Speaking of which, time to make lunch. If there's nout in the fridge I'll get a sausage roll or two from Waitrose.

    Easter Chocolate and rubbish weather. Having said that. I have no desire to look malnourished.

    But mainly the Easter chocolate!
