Tea? (Part 2)

[potsy]

Only "nearly"? So you *are* sticking to the diet

One was only a 'half' english

Thank you CJ (the nice one)

So colin and potsy how are the diets coming along

When I got ill, I was about 16 st 9 lbs on my dodgy scales, and had a 49 inch waist. I currently weigh 13 st 8 lbs on the same scales, and my waist is now about 39 inches. I'm aiming for 12 st 0 lbs - 12 st 4 lbs on those scales, and a 32-33 inch waist!

Obviously, I would get there a lot quicker if I gave up chocolate but, to be frank, being celibate, sober, recreational drugs-free, poor and depressed is bad enough, without going choc-free too!

By my highly inaccurate calorie counting method I burnt around 2000 calories on todays ride, still got over 900 to use up before midnight

You are forgetting that you are on a weight-loss regime, not a weight-maintenance one!

@ColinJ

Mathematics is not your strong point then? Assuming you start with fourteen bars of chocolate. If you eat two of the bars of chocolate, this leaves twelve bars. Twelve is divisible by three.

Or you could eat five bars, leaving nine, which again is divisible by three.

Yeahbut ... I wanted more than 2 bars this evening, so option #1 was out. 5 bars would have been ok because 7 turned out to be a couple too many, but I will be alone tomorrow night, so I'd have had to eat 5 again because 9 would be too many, and then I'd have to eat the remaining 4 in front of sis and b-i-l on Monday!

Eurosport is running in another window - Arctic Norway in summer looks rather lovely!

New bib shorts have arrived
They may be a bit overkill for my ride (which is primarily to the shops...)
And the pad is a little...noticeable.

 

[coffeejo]

You had post today? I know I slept properly last night but I didn't think I'd slept right the way through to Monday.

 

[TheDoctor]

No...they arrived yesterday, but I've only just got round to opening the pack.
I've got a few bits on order at the moment.
I'd have opened them sooner, only I thought it was some spare inner tubes for the Brompton.
I can't get very excited about inner tubes somehow.

A belated happy birthday TVC

You on the ferry, rocky?

 

[coffeejo]

Not yet - we are in the outskirts of The Haig (yuk) and we've got about 10 miles to go. Unfortunately the ferry doesn't sail till 9.30 this evening. So those 10 miles will be done at Potsy pace

In that case, are you sure you've left enough time?

Time for more cake then

Why the sad face?

 

[coffeejo]

Perhaps we'll have to catch tomorrow's ferry
