An excellent week

No weight-loss, but an excellent week.

I finally decided to have an active week. Activity bred activity. Creating more energy. On Monday I got my bicycle roadworthy again. This simply involved replacing the pump for my tyres. It was woefully inadequate for the job.

Then we were off. Its quite hilly around here - but we managed 11.9 miles in about 75 minutes. Feelings of elation and exhaustion followed. No real problems afterwards either.

The next day I managed 20 minutes on the cross-trainer.

Wednesday, I did 22 minutes followed by 3 minutes on the rowing machine. They seem to work even when caked in a fine layer of dust! :-) Then in the evening after a light supper, we had a leisurely bike ride and covered about 5-6 miles, getting home only minutes before the heavens opened and poured with rain (typical 2008 summer weather).

Yesterday was rest day. Because today I will be cycling with Kurt, a new mate who lives in Bath. I plan to use up a lot of calories!

Food has been in check too. Its a shame that the combination of all this activity and eating sensibly didn't show on the scales for my Friday morning weigh-in - but may be I'm just being a bit slow!
