Bits of news

Not got a lot to tell you - the bike building has stalled a bit and so has the exercise. Tut tut.
I've been under the weather a bit - I have a tendancy toward a little black cloud every now and again and J's oncology check was looming which always does a job on me.
Still, he had that on Tuesday and everything's looking okay. :-D
He saw the lovely Prof who looked after him throughout his treatment and she spent ages with him showing him his MRI pictures from before and during his treatment - apparently they weren't pretty. All okay so far though, at the third anniversary of his diagnosis. And to celebrate, the Prof has moved his checkups to 6 month intervals. That's quite reassuring, so hopefully now MY body will stop being such a wuss and the coldsores will heal and the motivation will kick in again. Here's hoping...

Despite the lack of exercise I *have* been trying to eat healthily and it looks like it might have helped. I weighed myself this morning and I have moved down into the next decade of kilograms - it's a big psychological boost seeing a smaller number up front. This shift means my BMI has also dropped into the next number down and best of all, my body fat % has too.
This doesn't mean I am slender yet, but it does mean I am headed in the right direction, and that's good enough for me.
For now.

On the bike front, the handlebars arrived and the general consensus is that they are huge, but they feel really comfy. I suppose the proof will come when I keep riding into trees/walls/cows and end up chopping the ends off the bars. The riding position feels promising though.

My pretty

A LOT less squashed up then on the old bike, and I CAN still hang my bum off the back of the saddle. Looking promising...

Right, I am off to Sherwood Forest to a company meeting and then off orienteering, apparently. I can't wait. Seriously!!
