How Time Flies

Oops, I think I may have missed an update or two.... Let me see, the last update was April, and now it's September. Hmm. Well, anyone who has been anxiously pressing "Refresh" for the last four months in the hope of some news will be pleased to know that it was just the blog that I had fallen behind with, and not the training.

And that's almost true as well. Ok, so the training was a little sporadic in May, and the first couple of weeks in June too, but since then I've been as regular as Mr Museli. I'm still talking about training, don't worry!
A fair amount has happened since April (although Derby still haven't won a match, so not that much has changed) and I'm on course to lose the weight and gain the muscle. There will be an update and a photo - ladies, calm yourselves - in the next day or two, but suffice to say that I am down to 16st 6lbs.
Now I realise that since April that's only 9lbs loss, but it does put me up to a total loss of 2st 4lbs, which I'm pleased with, especially since I haven't just run myself to death and not eaten anything. I genuinely feel fitter and healthier. I can now complete a whole forty minute five a side football match without passing out, although sadly I'm still just as rubbish. Just less wheezy.

I've recently changed gyms, going from a small outpost of a corporate giant to a bigger tin shed of an even larger corporate monster (here's a clue, this one has a beard). It offers more in the way of weights and cardio machines, and most importantly - benches. My previous gym had about four, which meant that an hours workout would probably have to allow for at least twenty minutes of waiting for weights and benches to become free. Frustrating to say the least.

More on this later - I don't want to overdo it on my first day back on the blog. I promise faithfully that a further update will appear as if by magic over the next forty eight hours. In the meantime, I leave you with this video that made me chuckle. Poor guy, I wonder how long it was before he could face going back to the gym!
