Right. Eventually got to weighing myself. 4 weeks later and I've put on a pound. I am very happy about that. I know I shouldn't be, and it feels wrong, but I was fully expecting to have put on 6-8 pounds.
Also kick started my training again. My cycling has been ticking along, but mileage had dropped. Weather has been bad and windy.
Today I went out on a 38 mile ride. But I really wanted to break 40, so I went further...totalling 42. Truth is, I had lots left in the tank....so I'm happy and totally know I can easily do 50 on the actual trip.
I'm not under any illusions it will be easy. There are much bigger hills in the Lake District than Essex...but we have all day to do 50 miles...I did 40 in 2.5 hours. So I'm very confident we could do 50 miles each day.
So - I'm glad I eventually got round to doing my weight again. I thought I'd probably just keep on not doing it and going backwards...but now I've done it, I'll get back on track.
Clearly I'm not going to make 16 stone - but Davey knows this - don't you buddy?
