Up at 4, took Phil to work at 4:30 due to his ped not having any oil in it. Back to bed for a bit and then up at about 7:30. V tired but such is life. 10am fetched oil for halfwit, took Oil to him at the farm, got back mowed lawns at 11:15, over to mums for lunch at 1pm, back home, lawn repairs and tweaking the growbag greenhouse thang. All good but not very energetic today. Missus has gone Whitby, good day for it!
Not been too bad food wise and tomorrow it will be 28 days since last had a drink. Good.

Up early to make sure Phil got up at 4am, have no idea as to how he keeps managing to get up - it nearly kills me and I'm going back to bed for another hour and three quarters!! Anyway got up proper about 5:45, got ready and took the Pooch about 3.75 miles for a walk/run that was okay there's a chunk of mileage about 1.2 miles from finishing that's missing as I'd switched the watch off rather than on after coming out of the paper shop - such is life. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/175686762
Anyway, was a nice day and the roads were really quiet so thought stuff it - I'll cycle in.
So put bike on roof, drove to Belper, cycled into work. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/175686767 compared to the last time I cycled into work there's been a 4min 30secs improvement which I think will be largely down to not getting off and pushing up the steep hill into Pentrich but continuing pedalling all the way. Bit tired now though! Cycled back at a bit better pace probably due to the slight rain! http://connect.garmin.com/activity/176030384
Had tea when got home and then took the pooch for a mile or so walk, then went to test out the Taylormade R580 which is okay but doesn't sound bright like the more modern titanium drivers - it goes okay though and I hit it straighter than the Cleveland - mind's not made up as yet - we'll have to see!

A month since rejoined group. Am expecting to have shifted a stone today after last week's disappointing maintain. We shall see. Got up at 4am to get Phil up, back to bed, up at 5:40, took dog for four miles - running and stopping, running and stopping. Okay though. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/176030391
Weigh-in day at lunchtime - good news another 4lbs gone. So lost 1st 1lb in four weeks - sacrifices there have been a few - had zero crisps, zero booze, zero chocolate. Have had Lucy's apple crumble she made at school with custards and my mums excellent cooking but other than that it's been health trip all the way. The long term plan is to lose enough weight to run another marathon next April. Have entered the Marathon ballot, we'll have to see how that goes in October.
Got back from work a bit later due to stupid roadworks in Belper. Went to do a job for my cousin on their PC and then back home for about 9pm after stopping off at Sainsbury's for cereal and bananas. All good. Took pipster dog a walk and then off to bed.

Got up early as usual but not as early now that the Pipster dog has returned to her owners. Anyway, bosskat has been on about getting tomato seedlings potted so I did that before going on a mini-run at 6:15 up to newsagents and back. 2.5 miles but better than nowt.

Better pace today, only just over 10 minute miles which was okay.
Badminton after work, good session, enjoyed it, lost a lot!
Then sorted out an internet connection for someone from work. All exciting stuff.

Up early, tried to finish off Lucy's volcano sticking it to the base but the lava illumination system fell over so had to unclip it all. Left it as is. Watered all the greenhouse stuff.
Quick run up town and back then straight off to work as have got to be leaving early today.

Saturday 12th May 2012
