Last few days have been pretty manic as I am currently moving flats and my family are moving house too so I've had a couple of days off work packing and unpacking. Nightmare. Anyway, the biggest issue with this has (I know it sounds lame) been keeping on top of my diet. I've been stuffing my face with packets of ham when I have the chance but I really need to get back into the habit I built up for the first week. The light at the end of the tunnel should be tangible by the end of the weekend.
Gym work is going alright - had to do back to back sessions Monday and Tuesday which meant the latter was pretty poor as my muscles hadn't recovered. I pushed through most of it by thinking about epic inspirational speeches (...it's the inches...) but left a bit pissed off with myself. Although I left my gym shorts at the family house I will somehow force myself into the gym tomorrow to top off the weekday sessions - even if I have to wear boxers a la primary school.
In other news I managed to get a bike - which obviously helps. I also managed to split the crotch of a pair of trousers eagerly getting onto it (an omen?)...It's a Specialized Langster (off eBay for £160), not a touring bike at all but I need to get into the habit of cycling to work and breaking free from the tube.
I still haven't decided on a touring bike. My Dad, who's a cycling geek, has suggested either a Roberts Rough Stuff
...or a Thorn Raven...
But since both are over £2000, even with begging, borrowing and stealing either of these will put the whole tour at risk really. I think off something off the shelf will do for now but I don't want to rush into anything yet.
Off to eat some plain chicken. Yummy.
