1 month to the day and I hit my first target!

[LosingFocus]

(Re)started cycling exactly 1 month ago today. In that time Ive cover 129 miles on and off road and (apparently) burnt 6000 kcal.

But even better, I'm finally under 13 stone for the fist time since I was 17 (I've just turned 33).

Must. Not. have. Creme. Egg. To. Celebrate.

Well you are certainly not losing focus are you?
A very big bravo to you.. keep it up..

it can only get better.

 

[coffeejo]

That's fantastic news, well done

 

[Bluebell72]

Well done! But make time to celebrate - nothing wrong with having a bit of what you fancy.

A bit of what I fancy at this moment in time is N+1

Problem, as always, is budget Ian. I could stretch to £350 for a new bike if I really had to (which would mean not replacing my broken lens on my Canon DSLR), but the only roadie in that price bracket I can find is a Carrera TDF in H**fords. Oh, I should say the bike would need to be from one of H**fords, Evans or Decathlon as Ive got Lakdeside vouchers from my birthday to use up...

Decisions, decisions. I now H**fords and Carrera arent rated highly on here, but for what I would use it for (weekend ride outs now and then and weekday hour/hour+ blasts) I dont see the point in spending muchos cash.

Very. Unforgivable, in fact.

You've earned a Creme Egg (are they smaller this year?!)

Nice flickr btw.

 

[LosingFocus]

I ate it.

Thanks Dave, I try to take some good uns amongst the experiments.

Awesome work

Cream Egg's are my downfall, I just cant say no to them

So I avoid them TOTALLY

What you really mean is that you can't say no to just some of them, so you have to say no to all of them!

I'm the same, especially with beer. I'm quite happy knowing that a 4-pack of beer is on the cold shelf at a local supermarket. I do not feel compelled to go and buy it, but if a 4-pack of beer is in my fridge it is unlikely to remain there overnight ...
