Day 2187

Day 2187;

I had a BMI of 18.61, I did 21,250 steps which was 13.76 km and I had burned 2127 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese and pickle), cheese savouries, popadoms and cake.
Dinner: scampi, chips, peas, ta tar sauce,chocolate cheesecake and profiteroles.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice and hot Ribena.
Snacks: chocolate buttons.

Tomorrow morning is set up to be another group cycle ride, now just I hope that I can continue my form of tonight’s Zwift ride, which I managed to reach a good average speed on, and Mich had just been saying the other day that we individually had managed to get to the speed that I made it to today but I was unsure as I knew from my recent disappointing form on the Zwift bike I was averaging at below the lowest average, well he said that we had managed seventeen to eighteen mph and I had just managed I think it was sixteen point nine which was a day after I rode it up at speeds of seventeen point nine mph so what he had said was correct, just a bit dated.

Then today I have managed to get an average speed of... eighteen point three mph, but then again that was a ride I did in the afternoon, which I probably shouldn’t have mentioned, at least not now. As now I should be writing about what I have done this morning, and it was only a little treadmill jog, no park run even though Allergy said that she wanted to do something that would help with her quite considerable size, then I’m guessing nothing that may actually have an impact on her size/weight.

I guess that I’ll have to get a different way to get my five KM done perhaps by the one hundred meter track that I usually run Monday occasionally? Then again that’s two days away, but then again only if I actually go to run on it .

Day 2186

Day 2186;

Now today I have had a BMI of 18.64, I had managed to do 26,765 steps which is apparently 17.22 km and today I had bu rned off 2410 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, nectarine, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: ham, coleslaw, potato salad, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and cake.
Dinner: chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes, chocolate and profiteroles.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, ginger beer and hot Ribena.

So tomorrow I was going to do the park run thing, as it’s the last Saturday before boccia starts up again. Then again I don’t think that it’s going to be likely that it’ll happen, as the only way that it could happen now is if Allergy decides to do it, and her lack of enthusiasm for the idea is certainly worrying.

Now today I have got back to a more usual routine, I’m meaning I got up then I had a cycle ride around London before I did a little jog on the treadmill. Now that was what I did before lunch, then after lunch I have been lazy even though I may have also done a two hour little cycle ride, now it was only a thirty mile ride, so I only managed to get to fifteen miles per hour as an average. Then my average speed for my earlier cycle was sixteen point seven miles per hour, then I have got a reason as to why I was so slow today but then what are reasons, if not a polite way of saying excuses, but some which should be helpful in assuring that the same doesn’t happen again, but seldom does.

Day 2185

Day 2185;

BMI has been 19.13, I have made 10,189 steps (6.60km) and I have burned 1256kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, pear, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: I’ve forgotten.
Dinner: fish, broccoli, peas, carrots, potatoes, chocolate trifle and chocolate cheesecake.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice and hot Ribena.

Now then tomorrow I really should be getting back to doing some more of my exercises, to get me to into tip-top condition as at the weekend I know that we have got another group ride planned to go on and then theirs skiing that is also planned. So then come on fitness you’ve got to get me through the week up to the weekend.

This day I have helped Mich take his bike back, from the repair yard then we took I out for a ride, it wasn’t the ride that we wanted to go on but it was a ride nonetheless, we only managed to have an average speed of fifteen point nine miles per hour for the duration of the ride which for a ride of twenty five miles is kind of decent I guess. It may have been the only thing that I did today. I know I should be glad that I’m getting up to fifteen miles per hour on the tandem as we were only a little time ago still attempting to get up to fifteen miles per hour but now that we’ve reached it I want to go quicker.

Day 2184

Day 2184;

BMI was 18.87, steps were 21,062 which were 13.64 km and I had burned 1850 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, pear, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: sandwich (egg, tomato in brown bread)
Dinner: I’ve forgotten.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow we are going to get Mich’s tandem back from the repair yard, so then we can use the route that I planned out for us to use to get us back from the place today, well I know that I planned it out on the website it was under Mich’s instructions. Else it’d probably be a straight line on the map, from a to b, with out all of the places that we could visit on the way to point b.

Today I had a longer jog than yesterday I also managed to fit in my double thirty exercises. Then I know that I am bias, especially on the topic of Brexit. But what is the point of standing in the way of the will of the British people, just because some of the population, a minority at the time of the vote, lost and they’re the ones that have the loudest voices want to stop Brexit. It’s just so frustrating, and I’m not even in parliament attempting to get it to happen but just if you’re a politician and you vote against the bills for Brexit you should check your seat, as if it was a constituency which voted for Brexit which the majority did then you should back Brexit but then if not you shouldn’t vote for Brexit simple as, there’s no room for the self serving politicians in parliament at the moment, at least not until this Brexit is out of the way.

Day 2183

Day 2183

Now my BMI for today was 19.40, I had taken 14,527 steps (which was apparently 9.41 km) and I had burned off 1361 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal and banana.
Lunch: sandwich (Coleslaw, ham in white bread) and something.
Dinner: I’ve forgotten.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice, Lucozade sport (raspberry) and hot Ribena.
Snacks: banana, orange, apple and ice cream.

Tomorrow I think I should probably be getting back to doing something which actually could make me fitter, as today I have had a lazy day but I may be able to get in another slightly longer jog tomorrow.

As on this day I have been into London with Tini, so it was no long walks around the streets of London it was just get off the train at a station then instead of walking the streets it was walk the minimal distance to the tube train, then get on the tube and ride it to another station one which is close to my eye hospital then we had another little walk to the park outside the hospital. Where I had myself a little walk around the park and I almost walked into the Doctor which was injecting my eyes just a couple of minutes later.

So I had my eyes injected and I could see once more then we walked back to the tube station before boarding the train which lead us back to the other station where we purchased our lunches and waited until the correct train arrived at the platform. When the train had arrived we boarded that train and rode it to our stop, which was decent enough, it got me from a to b then the car journey home. 

 Now today I had only managed to get a half hour jog. So disappointing I only got a little thirty minute jog in the evening after all the time I spent sat down today, deplorable. How do I expect to even get myself fit enough to compete at any level let alone Olympic (or Paralympic) level this rate?

Day 2182

Day 2182;

BMI is up at 19.10, steps were down to 14,116 which was only a pitiful 9.14 km and I have burned 1121 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, pear and yogurt.
Lunch: Lasagna, macaroni cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, chocolate trifle and lemon meringue pie.
Dinner: buffet and Eaton mess.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, shloer and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow shall be another lazy day as I have got to go to London in the morning to get my eyes sorted then in the afternoon I guess I should probably be getting fitter, hang on I should be getting fitter, especially as it’s the Paralympics next year and I’m still no where near even bothering the selectors, for anything, not even handing out drinks to the athletes who are competing.

Today I have been reeling over the shock victory of yesterday it was as Mich had said when England were down and out of the tie, when England were down at there last partnership with still over one hundred runs still to get, but then the next time we got into the car the radio said England have eighteen to win, and Leach still hasn’t got off the mark , so he was still on no runs which meant that Stokes had managed to pull something special out of the bag, extra special seeing how he was only on two runs from yesterday.

Day 2181

Day 2181;

I have got a BMI of 19.00, I have done 28,047 steps which was apparently 18.61 km and I have burned 1899 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, pear, banana, orange, apple and yogurt.
Lunch: fish, broccoli, carrots, peas, cauliflower and potatoes.
Dinner: buffet, chocolate trifle and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.
Snack: cherry bakewell cake.

Tomorrow I will be getting back to a more normal routine and I may have managed to get over two shocks of the day, the first one being in sport, with Ben Stokes performing so well in the Ashes today, to win the match, let’s not forget the man who allowed him to do it, Jack Leach by staying in with him and his impressive one run to tie the game, before Ben Stokes hit his final four of the game. To seal the win and to level the Ashes cricket series back at one all, which leads the five game series with three games played in the balance. For the next game to be played at some point in the future. But then the other “shock” I’m unsure of whether it really is a shock as it should probably have happened years ago and then I was eating my dinner at the time which was very good so I’m unsure of whether it was that I was enjoying the food too much to be shocked at the time, but either way it wasn’t a shock.

So today I have failed at the two device ten thousand step goal challenge as I had accomplished my goal on the Wii Fit meter but then not on my watch as I had been on a cycle in the morning and then I had been being helpful for the afternoon as I felt as if I was in debt to Mich for the amazing cycle ride which we had accomplished in the morning.

Amazing cycle ride that I had in the morning was one that Mich has finally stated that he’s fully comfortable with the cycling in the group, as in with him stating that he’s finally sure that we can keep up with anyone in our group, which was only as the best rider that was in our group for the past two rides wasn’t, and he is if you must know, according to Mich and I would probably have to agree, right up there just below the likes of Chris Froome and Geriant Thomas that is how quick he is at cycling, I mean the way back to the town that we live in from a place that we stopped at for cake the other week he did it at 20 mph average whereas we who had left in a group averaged at something like 15. I know that we may have got stopped by some cars on our way back home but so may he as this is just a little group ride not a national road race thing all the roads are still open for traffic to use.

Day 2180

Day 2180;

My BMI was 18.78, steps that I had made were 20,357 (which is apparently 13.18 km) and I had burned 1348 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, pear, banana, orange, apple and yogurt.
Lunch: pasta (cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and peas) and chocolate cake.
Dinner: fish, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, lemon meringue, chocolate trifle and biscuits.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow I am going on another group ride with the cycling club, for the morning. Then I think that Emu will be coming in the afternoon well at about nine o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m not too sure about whether C is coming or not, I’m not even sure of the reason that they’re coming, so I’ll think that they’re coming as they want to, but myself frankly I have better things to do with my time than spend that long in a car.

Then today I have had a bit of a lazy day, as I only got myself to fifteen miles today on the Zwift bike. I hadn't even managed to fit in a jog on the spot today, which kept me on twenty five miles in distance that I have jogged so far this week. Then again I have been to the gym today also, in the afternoon, which was fun but it was a bit frustrating as I had to use the car to get to the gym (as the mother of all lazy herself was taking me, and she decided to waste extra petrol today). 

Day 2179

Day 2179;

My BMI for today was 18.94, I had done 36,878 steps which is about 23.88 km and me doing that it had me burn off 1926 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple, grapes and yogurt.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese) and chocolate cake.
Dinner: pasta (with cheese, tomato, cucumber, mushroom and tart (strawberries and raspberries).
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice and hot Ribena.
Snacks: rice cakes.

Tomorrow my new phone case should be arriving, I think, but instead of being for Mich’s old phone my new phone the one which I broke, somehow I’m not one hundred percent sure of how I broke it but then everyone else seems convinced it was as I kept dropping it, then I thought that was what it’s own cover was there to protect it from. But then isn’t it also a bank holiday tomorrow?

I had made my way up to one thousand five hundred and ninety six minutes of intensity for this week by the time that I had finished my activities today as I had been having a good day. As it started off with me riding the Zwift bike, then I went off to have a drink and snack before going off to have a bounce before I had my lunch but I hadn’t managed to get my watches steps up to ten thousand yet. So after lunch I had another bounce and I also did a little jog, on the spot, while I watched Terminator, the one time Arnold says “I'll be back” just before he drives a car through the front wall of the police station and preceded to massacre the inhabitants is such an iconic scene.

So that takes me up to the end of the film then I think I was slightly lazy until Mich returned and then we got out on his tandem. He likes the GoPro so much I think he’s wanting to use it on one of our group rides in the future, at least now he understands how to use it.

Day 2178

Day 2178;

18.87 was my BMI, I had apparently walked 24,570 steps which was apparently 15.91 km and I had burned off 1895 kcal today.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple and grapes.
Lunch: I’ve forgotten what I had for main and chocolate cheesecake.
Dinner: pasta (cheese, courgettes, mushrooms) and chocolate cheesecake.
Drink: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow I plan on starting off my day on the Zwift bike for a bit of time, then I plan on going on the trampoline until my watch buzzes at me, informing me that I have completed my ten thousand steps then it’s my plan to row until lunchtime. After lunch I will consult Tini on my problem with my computer then I’ll probably have enough time for me to do another cycle ride.

Then today I have had another idea for Mich to get out on his bike, which he has been stating that he’d like to do for a while now, but then he can’t seem to find the time and then who would ride with me on the front of the tandem, we both know that I’m not a factor in his ability of riding a bicycle, as he is an “old pro” at riding a bike, then I was thinking that as P and myself managed to travel at a speed of quicker than the minimum speed of a tea and cakes ride then we would have the speed to keep up with the rest of the group so that would mean that if they were having a tea and cakes ride on a day that coincides with either Emu or P coming along with me on the back then we could both go on the ride and just if Mich is feeling tired Mich could swap with either Emu or P at anytime in the ride. Mich thought that it was a good idea.

That today I have been on a jog for my morning before I did another small Zwift cycle which was before I had been to the gym in the afternoon. Then in the morning I had managed to make my way up to one thousand minutes of intensity by the end of the day I had managed to get to one thousand and ninety eight minutes of intensity. By the time that I had got back from the gym.

It was an interesting day today as I had broke my phone today, so I failed my thirty thousand steps, which was over the three devices to get me to ten thousand steps on each, which I only haven’t managed to make it to ten thousand on my phone. 

Day 2177

Day 2177;

My BMI for today was 19.10, my steps were 29,511, it was 19.11 km that I had walked, apparently, and I had burned 2271 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple and grapes.
Lunch: pasta (seafood), chocolate cake and bread.
Dinner: I’ve forgotten.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice and hot Ribena.

Whatever the day, tomorrow, brings I don’t know but as I have got myself up to six hundred and sixty one by lunchtime today, which is up on my goal for at this time on this day, in order to get up to one thousand minutes of intense activity by Thursday night I should be at six hundred and twenty five by lunchtime today, so I’m already up thirty six which makes a change, now it’s just about time to see if I can continue my form, of today, for the rest of the day, and week. So that is going to be part of my plans for tomorrow, to continue my good morning form.

By the end of the day I had got myself eight hundred and seventy six minutes of intensity for the current week so I have got a high probability of getting it to one thousand minutes of intensity for Thursday, then I may even get it up to double at least for the second week in a row. But then today I had done a a job and a bounce before the morning was up which helped me by getting myself up to twenty thousand steps, for the day. Then after lunch I was being slightly lazy apart from the one cycle that I had done this afternoon as I cycled to the GM’s current habitation then back home. Which was fun especially the return trip, as I thought it was amazing with us both pushing through the head wind still keeping up to speeds of ten mph, when the wind was traveling across the Andy’s field, it’s an old air field. I enjoyed that traveling not very fast into a head wind so it feels as if I’m traveling much quicker it may have been as my eyes were closed that it felt like it was at a speed.

Day 2176

Day 2176;

My BMI today was 19.07, I had made 24,965 steps (which was apparently 16.16 km) and I had burned 1383 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, strawberries, grapes and yogurt.
Lunch: spaghetti with mini sausages, bread (brown) and lemon cake.
Dinner: pasta (seafood), bread and tiramisu.
Drinks: milk, fruit juice, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

For tomorrow I don’t think that I know of any plans yet, at least. Then again today has only started about eleven hours before when I have started to write this today. So I’ll give it a bit more time for me to workout what is going on tomorrow. Then the plans for tomorrow will be, I think, me getting myself fitter on the gym equipment that I have at my home before we get out on the tandem later on in the day, but Mich was shocked that we dried off in our tandem ride through the rain as we had only gone in the rain for ten or so many minutes but then after we had left the rain we spent our time in the sunshine drying off with our body heat stoking up the heat of the sun, therefore doubling, or there about, the efficiency of the ride at drying us off.

Now today I have been been on a big old bounce and a little old ride around London, on Zwift. According to my watch I bounced about five miles but then according to Zwift I rode seventeen miles, so I’m guessing that you probably could say that my descriptions of the activities are wrong to that I would probably say that you were correct. But then I’d say that I have some poetic license to say what I like about my activities and then you could do something and then say something about it which is similar to what I have done, so why don’t you?

Last week I had done one thousand three hundred and seventy five minutes of intensity by Saturday morning, then by the end of the day I had done one thousand seven hundred and sixty two minutes of intensity by the end of Saturday. Then by Sunday lunchtime I had done one thousand nine hundred and twenty five minutes of intensity which was before I had been on the tandem with Mich, which I must have done another two hundred and six minutes in the one cycle which gave me a total of two thousand one hundred and thirty one minutes of intensity for the week, which is greater than double the number that I had set for me to get in a week. 

But then this week on Monday I had only managed to get two hundred and forty nine which is one off from where I should be if I was to get one thousand by Thursday. Then tonight I had only managed to get up to four hundred and eighty four which is another sixteen down from where I should have been. It could have been for many reasons, but the one overriding reason is that I hadn’t put in enough effort to making myself fitter today, so I must address that in future days.

Day 2175

Day 2175;

Now today my BMI has been 19.00, I have done 20,325 steps or 13.16 km and I have burned 1873 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, strawberries, nectarine and grapes.
Lunch: baked beans with mini sausages, rice cakes (salt and vinegar), lemon cake and chocolate.
Dinner: fish, broccoli, peas, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes and tart (nectarine and peach).
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, fruit juice and hot Ribena.

What will my future bring? I don’t know, but I have got some hopes, dreams or really ambitions, for where I want to go on the journey of my life. One of the most prevalent ambition is to compete in an Olympics, or Paralympics. The only way I can fathom would be if I get good enough at a sport and I don’t really have one, so therefore I am getting myself fitter to that end I would be able to best fit any role that anyone would require me to do to compete at the highest level, even swimming but I only have my own word that I can still swim; I haven’t actually tried it in many years, and I’m going to try to have a go at the “Superhero Triathlon” sometime next year probably.

Then I have no idea of what my classification would be as PT1-PT4 all classify as people with mobility impairments such as weak muscles and I don’t think that you could classify me as any of those, but then again I may fit into the classification PT4, as it says the least impaired for PT4. Then the PT5 classification says that it is for those that are visually impaired which I probably would consider myself as but then I know that I “suffer” from dystonic posturing of all four limbs, what does that mean? You may wonder, to be honest I don’t know, I have just heard it being said about me by someone that probably knows a little more than me in the topic of my disability, plus I what my limbs are, my arms and legs, and I have heard the word spasticity come up a bit while they’re talking about me and my condition, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they were to say that the whole use of the word dystonic probably means spastic which is generally muscle weakness  caused by brain damage which I have had in the past. But that was many years probably over a decade. By now I really should be back to normal, well as normal as I ever have been.

The World Paratriathlon is a race which covers seven hundred and fifty meter swim, a twenty kilometre cycle and a five kilometre run, now first thing that I did today was a little hourlong  treadmill jog when doing I think that I got to five kilometres as the distance on the treadmill was saying over five and then later on I have done a twenty mile ride on the tandem with Mich which I think only took just about one and a half hours. 

Day 2174

Day 2174;

My BMI was 18.64 (again), I had walked 24,600 steps (or apparently 15.93 km) and then I had even managed to burn 2264 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple and grapes.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese and ham in white bread) and lemon cake.
Dinner: fish en cruet, green beans, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes and
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, orangeade and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow I am unsure about what I have got going on, apart from going to visit GM on the tandem bike, which I am unsure of due to the weather. But I will be getting fitter either way, tomorrow.

Now then today I have “needed” my inhaler, only as I was sounding like a traction engine when I got myself up this morning, and I wanted to go for a morning hour jog, on the treadmill so I decided that it’d probably be better if I was to accept the offer of the inhaler else wise Tini will get protective over me and she may not have allowed me on the treadmill.

So I had got onto the treadmill for a jog in the morning after the inhale, and I had only managed about half an hour (slightly less in actual fact, fifteen seconds less) then I decided to pause it to get a cloth so that I could see as sweat was dripping off of me and into my eyes and to pull my trousers up as they were slipping down off of me which I chose to take my phone out of my pocket before I did the last twenty minutes of my jog which I had paused my workout again at about forty minutes to do much similar to before but I had spent too long with it on pause the second time, the treadmill deleted my activity, so I just had to do my final twenty minutes from scratch.

Then later on today when I was eating my lunch Mich arrived back and told me that I could go for a tandem ride after I had finished my lunch, so I finished my lunch and then we went out on the tandem but it was a decidedly windy ride, so I only managed to get less than a hundred Watts done today (on average), my last tandem ride (before) gave me only one hundred and eleven Watts but my Zwift ride yesterday gave me one hundred and fifty Watts.

Then after I had finished my day I went off to bed, just then I realised that I still hadn’t done my thirty sit-ups for today and I did them then, as I was doing that I decided to give a go at doing thirty crunches also so that is what I’m planning on doing from now on. Let’s have me doing thirty sit-ups and crunches every morning, it’s going to be fun.

Day 2173

Day 2173;

My BMI was down again (to 18.64), my steps increased slightly (to 23,401), my distance walked has been 15.15 km and my calories burned have been down to 1403

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, strawberries, grapes and nectarine.
Lunch: macaroni cheese, turkey drummers and chocolate eclair.
Dinner: sandwich (chicken, lettuce and bacon in white bread) and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.
Snacks: rice cakes.

Tomorrow is set out to me to be a mystery, to me at least. As I don’t know what time when people are going to get here at, and Tini is supposedly getting back at midnight tonight, Allergy is off somewhere with B and Mich is off somewhere else with his work, but he should be arriving sometime later, tomorrow night.

But then today I have gone to the gym, and I had been on the lateral trainer and exercise bike. Then when I had got home I had my lunch, eventually. After having a wash and getting changed, as that was the only way that Tini was going to allow me to have something to eat for my lunch. Next up in important events that happened to me was that Tini left, off to visit Emu, do I took this opportunity to ride in New York but I’m unsure if the sky lanes are really in NYC, Central Park, because it all seemed a bit too Hollywood to be real. It seemed to me to resemble something out of Back to the Future 2. Well I was riding around for an hour I had only managed to get something like thirteen miles in that hour, which was honestly pitiful, and then I stopped and I had a drink before going back on the bike for another hour which was approximately another pitiful ride with me only getting something like another twelve mile rode in my second hour.

Then I had another drink and a snack, before I had my dinner, then after dinner I did my weigh in, on Wii Fit. So now all I have to do is wait up until Tini’s arrival, so I made myself a nice little mug of hot Ribena and I got myself a rice cake, and I’ve sat down waiting.

Day 2172

Day 2172;

BMI today was 19.04, steps I had made were 21,496 (which was apparently 13.92 km) and I had burned 1707 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, grapes, banana, orange and apple.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese in white bread) and cake.
Dinner: scampi, chips, peas and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, tango (orange) and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow it’s going to be weird as I have not a clue what is going to happen beyond the morning, that is, as I know that I have got the gym planned for me to do. Then whether I am travelling with Tini to the city of Emu’s habitation I have not got a clue, just if I do then I’ll probably be sat upon an exercise bike for the remaining part of the day as you opposed to staying here and then I will probably got on the Zwift bike for the afternoon.

Then today I have not done any cycling, so what did you do today? I don’t know, at least not now... but now I have got a clue about what I have actually done today, as I went to the gym in the gym in the afternoon, before that I had another half hour treadmill jog and an equally long bounce. Now in between the two activities I had my lunch and before the activities I had breakfast, and before my breakfast I had done a bit of my thirty sit-ups, I didn’t manage to get myself out for a decent jog,

I also remember thinking “what is wrong with us, as a species?” today as well. It was just as if you look at all of the animals that are alive, and probably all that have come before, how many of the species have used plates to carry there food, they probably all have just eaten it off of the floor, within the thirty second time limit or not, as I have had dogs living with us who would get to the food that we had dropped before we had even realised that we had dropped it the majority of times, and then the guinea pigs are getting left the apple peals and other parts of our breakfast fruit each morning, it is left outside of their hutch(?) in the run which is outside (I think it’s called a pen, as the hutch was used for chickens previously).

Day 2171

Day 2171;

BMI had plummeted to 18.91, as I had only made 26,392 steps (17.09 km) and I had burned 2190 kcal today.

Dinner: fish en cruet, broccoli, carrots, peas, potatoes and chocolate cheesecake.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, orangeade and hot Ribena.

So what I have planned for tomorrow is probably going to be much more of the same for the morning and then in the afternoon I have got the gym planned, I hope that all goes as planned though tomorrow much as it did today, as I had nine hundred and fifty four intensity minutes before I had my lunch then I had one thousand one hundred and fifty four (which is an increase of two hundred) by the time that I had my dinner, and I had only been only been out on the tandem, for about one hour thirty, then again I was getting told by my pilot and on Strava that it was a better than average performance, which may have been as the pilot was actually trying today instead of leaving it all up to the stoker (i.e. me).

So today in the morning I have done my thirty sit-ups, before my little jog around outside. After that I was on the treadmill for only twenty minutes then afterwards I went back on the trampoline so I was now up to the step goal for my watch, as well as probably phone and Fit meter. But then I still had a nice morning cycle around London to do. So I have done an hour long ride before lunch which boosted my steps on my phone and Fit meter then not so much for my watch. Which was my morning activity.

In the afternoon I had been relatively lazy as I hadn’t done anything else active until we went out on the tandem which we had been doing some proper speed along some of the roads, then Mich had to stop as he said that he had caught a bug in his helmet, then he protests when he’s saying that he doesn’t get why I hate stopping while we are out on the tandem as don’t our Garnin’s have auto pause, feigning ignorance I think, it’s as when he’s going to stop he slows the tandem down, obviously, which doesn’t activate auto pause until you’ve stopped, even then after a few seconds of being stationary. Then all the time that he spends on reattaching his shoe onto the pedal adds up. Then there was the traffic that we could have got out in-front of if he hadn’t decided slow down and then wait until the whole load of cars had gone by and it wasn’t as it we went going the whole way along the road; we were just turning left onto the road to take the first right turn.

Day 2170

Day 2170;

On this day I have got a BMI of 19.04, which should probably be surprising seeing as I have only made 11,243 steps (which was a distance of 7.23 km) and I had only managed to burn 929 kcal today, according to Wii Fit.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, nectarine, peach and yogurt.
Lunch: seafood pasta and cake.
Dinner:sausage casserole (with baked potato peas and carrots) and chocolate cheesecake.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

So for tomorrow I’m thinking that I should have another plain old morning where I could as probably should be doing more which should mean that I do my morning thirty, before a little jog around outside. Before I go on some of my exercise equipment at home, then in the afternoon I have been told that the plan is to go out on the tandem, if weather permits that is.

Now I didn’t make the second part today, as in I got up and then I did my morning thirty but I didn’t get in my morning jog. As I was lazy, then I’d finished my breakfast and I made some changes to what I had wrote for this thing for previous days/completing the posts. Before going out to exercise, then as I was just sitting down on the rowing machine Tini burst in the room, she was saying that as it was still a pleasant morning we should drive around to the gym so that she could go to the shops on the way back to pick up shopping and stuff before it rains later, and I could do something in the gym equipment at home later on, which had me thinking that I could go to the gym in the rain, as it’s inside, I went along with it anyway.

Anyway it started raining while I was at the gym, so I had Tini complaining about how the rain was cold. To me until she found something else to complain about. Now that was about it for the morning, after lunch I had been cycling on Zwift, around London I got over tower bridge, before I started up fox hill, and I have just remembered that I had got a new battery for my Wii Fit meter this morning after the gym. So it was input into my Fit meter in between the getting home from the gym and me actually having my cycle ride (Zwift) but so far this week I have done 770 minutes of intensity and it’s only Wednesday so maybe I could have it up to one thousand minutes by tomorrow? I don’t know what I do know is that I’m excited about it. Before that though I also did a twenty minute little jog on the treadmill as well as a bounce on the trampoline, which was just to get my steps up by my Fit meter as I hadn’t had the five thousand burst from my time at the gym, earlier on this day.

Day 2169

Day 2169;

My BMI today  was 19.23, I had made 17,773 steps which was only 11.51 km and I had burned off 1124 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, apple, orange, banana, nectarine and peach.

Lunch: I’ve forgotten.

Dinner: seafood pasta, chocolate trifle and chocolate.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

Snacks: chocolate brownie and chocolate covered rice cakes.

Now tomorrow I am having a undecided day, as I want to be able to get up and get fitter at will, how life never works like that, from my experience at least. Wouldn’t life be so glorious if you could just say at the beginning of the day something like “today I am going to become ten times as fit as I was yesterday”, and then by the time the day ends you are that fit, but then life has so many curve balls to throw at you. Like the need to eat and drink, so much bother.

Then today we have been to the Snow-place for first a go on a snowboard, as a lesson, then next I went for an hourlong ski, with Mich. As Mich is a confident enough skier nowadays to just go to our most local snow-place and just ski around in it, as for me I have no confidence in doing anything but i’ll just give it a go, anything I’ll give anything a go.

Then before that I was getting my steps up in the morning, so as usual I did my thirty sit-ups and I had another jog around outside, next I did myself a bounce and then a cycle on Zwift. The bouncing around part and the morning jog was enough to get me to 10,000 steps by my watch.

Day 2168

Day 2168;

My BMI was 19.33, steps were 18,585 (which was 12.03 km) and the amount of kcal burned was only 1340.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, peach, nectarine and yogurt.
Lunch: rice cakes (salt and vinegar) and some cake.
Dinner: sausage casserole, mashed potato, green beans, peas, carrots and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow cannot come soon enough, or something like that, as I am looking forward to tomorrow afternoon I do believe. As I’ve got another snowboarding lesson planned for me to take. Then after the snowboarding lesson I think that Mich will be coming out onto the slope to join me in a ski session, as it’s such a waste to travel all that way for one snowboarding lesson and nothing else.

Now today has been disappointing as we were supposed to have a cycle ride, on the tandem today, but it was raining so it was decided for me to go to the gym instead. Which I should probably have been thrilled about, as nowadays I so rarely go to the gym I’m thinking is it even worth the expense in my continued gym membership? The swimming pool is probably the next place as I have been told that if I can still swim and the person clears me for that task, then I can just go up to the gym for swimming any time that I feel like it, which would make use from my gym membership and that way it wouldn’t be such a waste plus if I could get back into the pool and into swimming then I might be able to have a go at a para-triathlon, which has been a goal of mine for approximately as long as I can remember, which means about the last 35 seconds, now that’s cruel there Red, but true, I know it maybe true that I cannot remember that far back in the past but it has been a goal of mine at least since I started asking Emu about it, a while back, which makes it back further than you can remember.

Day 2167

Day 2167;

My BMI was 19.36 today, as I had made 28,861 steps, which were about 18.69 km in distance walked and I had burned 2083 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, peach, strawberries and yogurt.
Lunch: sandwich (prawn open sandwich [prawns, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, bread and seafood sauce]) and Victoria sponge cake.
Dinner: chicken, green beans, peas, carrots
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (raspberry)
Snack: Victoria sponge cake.

Tomorrow is a day which I should be going on a cycle ride in the afternoon, the cycle ride should be on the tandem. But then other than that I don’t think that I have anything else planned. So I probably should get onto some more of my gym equipment, the treadmill and the rowing machine and then probably the trampoline (which is Allergy’s) but she rarely used it.

And today I have had an not so lazy morning as I have been on a group one cycle to some farm foods eatery place, which I had a slice of Victoria sponge cake at. So that activity had my steps sorted for today, at least for my Wii Fit meter and the phone, but not for my watch, luckily I had already been doing a nice little jog around this morning which had me up-to five thousand steps before I even started on the ride, so it was only a little bit of jogging that I would still have to do to get me up to ten thousand steps for my watch, which I did today.

Day 2166

Day 2166;

My BMI was 19.23, the number of steps that I had made was 22,144 (a distance of 14.34 km) and I burned 1930 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, raspberries, banana, orange, apple, peach, plum and yogurt.
Lunch: soup (scotch broth with bread [white]), chocolate mini rolls and shortbread.
Dinner: chicken, peas, carrots, roasted potatoes and tart (strawberry and raspberry).
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, hot Ribena.
Snacks: rice cakes (chocolate coated).

Tomorrow I’m going off on another group cycle ride, on the tandem with Mich. so that’s going to be fun. But also not very productive for my watch, so I’ll probably have to get in another load of steps in before and after the cycle. But my phone and my Wii Fit meter should be able to pick up my pedal strokes pretty easily

So today I have been lazy, apart from my morning which I actually managed to get on a treadmill jog, for half an hour before I got on Zwift for an hour. Then before both of those activities I also did get in  my daily thirty sit-ups and I had another little jog around but other than that it was a positively lazy old day. As all I did was help Mich with a few things that he had to do, apparently. Which consisted of furniture moving and some sheet moving, yes really exciting stuff.

Day 2165

Day 2165;

My BMI was 19.46, I had taken 21,036 steps (which means that I had covered 13.62 km) and I had burned only 1788 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, raspberries, banana, orange, apple, peach, plum and yogurt.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese in off-white bread) and a doughnut.
Dinner: pasta meatballs (quorn) with cheese and something.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

Now tomorrow I have nothing to do, so I’ll probably just be getting fitter in the morning as I have been doing for the past two days and then for the afternoon I don’t know. If I could then maybe I should try a  bit more of the getting fitter stuff, maybe even a nice long cycle on Zwift?

Then I forgot to state that I had managed to pass the ten thousand step challenge for the past four days I have been achieving it on three separate devices (the three devices being my Wii Fit meter, Watch and phone) which hasn’t really been too difficult, unfortunately for me has been in the past with me only getting something like 1000 steps on the Wii Fit meter ages ago, I think, and then on the days of cycling I have done only few steps by my watch but then I have done many on my Wii Fit meter.

I have been able to reach the magic number by myself doing both the jog around the back of my home earlier on today, then I have done a half hour jog on the treadmill, which was fun. Before I did a twenty minute row then I sat on the Zwift bike and I peddled it for about two minutes but I didn’t do much on it today before I had a short, twenty minute, bounce. That was it that I did for this morning on the fitness front at least.

Then in the afternoon I had gone to the gym, for an hour. So that was half an hour on the lateral trainer before I had a second half on the exercise bike in doing this I managed to reach my weekly intensity minutes goal two days early. So my intensity minutes for this week were at one thousand and forty eight, that should probably be half decent enough, for this week. But I still want more out of me I need more out of me if I’m going to make it to an Olympics. Which was where I finished my day with my dinner and then I did my Wii Fit stuff before going off to my bed,

Day 2164

Day 2164;

Today my BMI has been 19.23, in steps I have done 22,781 (which were 14.75 km) and I have burned off 2195 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, raspberries, banana, orange, apple, plum and peach.
Lunch: sandwich with some filling, eclair and doughnut.
Dinner: spaghetti meatballs (quorn), cheese and chocolate cheesecake.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, cold coffee and hot Ribena.

Now tomorrow I am planning on doing much similarly to this morning but then no more tandem in the afternoon unless the weather changes the little necessary for there to be a bright sunny day, as Mich hates going out in the rain. It’ll mean that I should have the gym in the afternoon.

Now today I have managed to get my steps in early but let’s have the refresher up first:
1- got up.
2- sit-ups.
3- jog.
4- eat.
5- jog.
6- row.
7- eat.
8- tandem.
9- eat.
10- weigh in.
11- I will go to sleep and I will type up my day.

So I first off got up obviously, then after that I went downstairs for thirty more of my daily sit-ups now, that should mean that I have done ninety by now. Then I went outside for a little jog around which was fun, I managed to get up to twenty five hundred steps then, before Tini came downstairs to get breakfast. Which I ate, so that is up to four now.

Onto five which was my thirty minute treadmill jog, of which I have to say isn’t as challenging as it used to be. Then I moved on to the rowing machine for a half hour row, which was simple, as all you have to do is pull your arms towards your chest then you have to release your arms, and just repeat. After I had finished my row I was onto eating my lunch/seven.

Eight was the only exercise I did in the afternoon slot as I had been out on the tandem for quite some time getting thirty miles under our belts, before we head out during the weekend on another group ride. Which leads onto nine which had us eating our dinner spaghetti quorn balls, mushroom protein at its finest, with cheese, so I have literally swapped out the meat of the cow for some of the fat from a cow, as that is what milk, and then by extension cheese is.

Then ten comes next, don’t worry I am almost done, it was the time of the weigh in, and I sincerely congratulated Allergy on her weight loss and she thought that I was being sarcastic, and then onto what I have done now. So good night.

Day 2163

Day 2163;

BMI was 19.30, I had taken 15,518 steps, or apparently 10.05 km in distance and then I had burned 1563 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, raspberries, banana, orange, apple, plum, peach and yogurt.
Lunch:  fish and egg on bread (rye bread), lemon drizzle cake and chocolate mini roll.
Dinner: fish en crute, broccoli, carrots, green beans, roasted potatoes and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (orange), nonalcoholic cider and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow should be interesting as I have no idea of what is planned apart from there may be something to do with the gym in there somewhere.

Now today I have got up in the morning, I have gone downstairs and done my daily thirty sit-ups. Next up I have gone outside for a little jog around, as well as to sort the bins out. Then it was that I ate my breakfast, after breakfast all that I had to do was for me to go on an hourlong mornings cycling I only got ten miles, which is pretty pathetic to be honest. I could have probably ran it quicker.

So let’s have a quick refresh on what I have done today...
1- get up.
2- sit-ups.
3- jog.
4- eat.
5- bike.
6- eat.
7- gym.
8- eat.
9- jog.
Then 10- will be go back to bed, so all in all a little bit of let down in the afternoon.

Before I had my quick refresh, I had got up to number five on the refresh which may have had me at over ten thousand steps for my phone and my Wii Fit meter but then I had only managed about five thousand steps on my watch, and it was approximately time for me to have a wash, as I had just got myself very sweaty (as I had been on a bike, so I went upstairs and into the bathroom (which doesn’t have a bath, so it’s more of a shower room) then I washed myself.

Next up was eat, on the list, it was lunchtime so that took me quite some time, just as eating food usually takes up the majority (well close) of time in the day for me, I know I’m a slow eater I had managed to get myself up to a reasonable speed about twelve or thirteen years ago, that was before I got myself hit by the car, which set me back. As I used to go into school with a packed lunch, and then I would be sitting there eating my lunch for the almost whole hour of lunchtime, then I’d get out to enjoy myself for the approximately last twenty minutes of lunch, then sometimes it was only the last five minutes I remember, at least once.

Next up is seven and my time in the gym which was fun and it was a break for Tini from cleaning Allergy’s bathroom (which is a bathroom, as it has a bath in it), so Tini was actually thankful for me “dragging” her away to get bored standing around in the gym. Then Allergy’s bathroom has taps which don’t work in, it smelt terribly and it was in a mess , before Tini had her go which lasted basically from the time that Allergy left for work to about twenty minutes before she arrived home from work. Minus the about hour that I was at the gym.

Eight I ate my dinner before I went outside and had another jog around as my watch wasn’t able to count the pedal strokes that I did while I was on the bike earlier so my steps were down at about seven thousand after the gym so I had another jog around the back garden to get my watch steps up to ten thousand, which worked, so all that was left for my day was to do my weigh in (see above) and then it’s bedtime (as well as obviously this).

Day 2162

Day 2162;

My Body Mass Index today was 19.17, I had taken 23,790 steps (which was apparently 15.40 km) and I had burned 2099 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, nectarine, peach and yogurt.
Lunch: sandwich (chicken mayo in white bread) and 2 double chocolate cookies.
Dinner: fish, broccoli, carrots, peas, sweet corn, chocolate trifle, strawberries and double chocolate cookie.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, coke and hot Ribena.

So what I have up for me tomorrow is the gym and a Zwift ride also another thirty sit-ups if I wake up early enough again tomorrow. Other than that I have got no plans for today, but as it’s Wednesday it should be a bin day and I used to go to the schools orchestral practice many years ago, on Wednesdays it must be something like fifteen years ago now. And P is still a friend of mine, after all these years.

Today was a good day as I have been to Tini’s school, I have done a bit of cycling around the school field this day which was fun I managed to stay on the bike for about nine minutes a time on average, which was before I stopped the bike or fell off of the bike, which were generally at the same time as I’m not too good with the breaks, as in I generally fall off when I brake, I’m unsure of why though. It’s probably something to do with the fact that I only ever use the left hand brake, the left hand brake is the rear wheels brake isn’t it? So it should be able to stop the bike more, due to the fact that the gears, and drive, are around the back wheel.

Then later on today I have been out on the roads nearby on the tandem with Mich this time, which was a lot quicker than we, P and I, were yesterday on the other tandem. Then again myself and Mich have been practicing for sometime over two years now, well it was slightly over two years ago that we did the Prudential Ride London 100, which was rode again just about on this weekend just gone, so we must have started about six months prior, property practicing as I only got my tandem the twenty fifth of December before, which was... August, December January February March April May June July August, which should mean there was about seven months in between the two months. 

Day 2161

Day 2161;

My BMI for today was 19.33, I had also managed to take 16,007 steps (which was apparently 10.36 km and then I had burned 1290 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, banana, orange, apple, peach, nectarine and yogurt.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese, ham in rye bread) and
Dinner: lasagna, broccoli, sweet corn, peas, carrots, potatoes and chocolate trifle.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash and hot Ribena.

In the future, as far as tomorrow, I shall be going to school, don’t worry it’s off season for schools around here at least. I think it’s the Summer holidays for students around nearby. But that doesn’t mean that teachers, like Tini, don’t have to go into school, and she’s dragging me along with her so I can go around the field which is in the schools premises. So that is my plan for the morning of tomorrow to cycle around on the field, which shouldn’t get my watch steps up at all but my phone and my Wii Fit steps should be up there thanks to the exercise. So for the afternoon I should probably be getting in some steps for my watch.

In the morning of today I went on another tandem ride, but today it was only a slow one, I was with P piloting instead of Mich. Which is fun to have a change of pilot and it was extra special today as he is about my weight but he’s taller so that means that his BMI is much lower than mine, and he doesn’t have an irritant like Allergy to tell him that he needs to gain weight, I don’t think at least, but then I think that it’s jealousy that gets Allergy going off on her tirades. Back on point I, well Mich did at my request, put my mobiles data on today so that Mich could stalk us from the comfort of his desk as he had to stay at home while he was working, from home, today and then I know how uptight he gets about me (his only friend apparently).

Now that dragged on inside the afternoon by the time that we returned to my abode, P stayed around for a bit until he cycled back to his home, so then today P has been getting super fit. It was the only exercise that I did today minus the few little jogs on the spot, which I do as it helps me think about stuff. Like how I was supposed to express gratitude which I generally do in written form like this in some way meaning using text and by email basically.

Day 2160

Day 2160;

My BMI was 19.46, i had made 26,920 steps (which was apparently 17.43 km) and I had burned 2029 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple, peach, nectarine and yogurt.
Lunch: lasagne, lettuce, tomatoes and something.
Dinner: baked potatoes, lettuce, cheese and chocolate cake.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (raspberry) and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow I have got a plan, the plan is for my friend to cycle round and for us to have a tandem ride around. If the weather is kind obviously, even if it’s not I don’t know what will be happening. So we have planned to get out on the tandem tomorrow, together, if he rides his bike here I don’t exactly know why he has said it like that because I didn’t think that he was overweight in the slightest last time that we saw each other but then he told me that he needs to get in shape. Then later on in the day I should be going to the gym.

Then today I started off by getting up nice and early for the bike ride which we did, and it was an actual group 1 (the slowest group) cycle ride. I was really happy as we weren’t the slowest people in the cycle group but I know that it was over a relatively flat course so you’d probably have expected the bike with two riders on it to have done pretty well, but then on the biggest hill of the course we overtook all bar one of the riders in our group, so I’m happy but we should have got the last one before the hill ran out, so we didn’t which is a shame.

Later on in the day I managed to get Allergy to exercise, it was only fifteen minutes on the trampoline, but I got her to exercise by being stupid, basically, so what I did was as Allergy asked me to put some music on, so I did and then she complained about the music so I decided to get up and act to the music, but Allergy started saying that I was interpretive dancing, so I just went along with it as she was exercising, result.

Day 2159

Day 2159;

Today I have got a BMI of 19.17, I have done 15,485 steps (which was 10.03 km) and I have burned 1321 kcal today apparently.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple, nectarine, peach and yogurt.
Lunch: sandwich (cheese, salad [purple and green leaves] with pickle) and chocolate cake.
Dinner: chicken casserole (peas and carrots), baked potatoes and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: milk, fruit squash, cold coffee and hot Ribena.
Snacks: rice cakes (chocolate).

Tomorrow I’m going on a group cycle with the local cycle club, well one of the local cycle clubs at least, so I will have to be up promptly, at six o’clock as you know how long it takes me to get ready in the morning (if you don’t it takes me an age to get ready for my days [figuratively obviously]) then I should be up and about in time for the get go at a time that is after six am but before twelve I think at least.

This morning I woke up at some time about five thirty and I decided to try to get back to sleep, but by the time that I had just about it was six o’clock and my alarm went off so I put my alarm off and I went back to sleep and I still woke up at about seven o’clock which was before everyone else I do believe, if not seconds before the rest of the rabble, then I started hearing the rabble in all rabble rousing volume.

It was also the football team that we support (we as in the royal we, as in myself) kicked off today the game was tied, so it could have gone better alternatively it could have gone worse, so it was an ok day on the footballing front. However on the cricketing front it was a bad day if you’re an England supporter, as England had a ninety run lead by the time they were all out, which is okay I’m guessing, but then the Aussies got in on batting with three wickets down before they had struck ninety runs so you have us over here thinking England could have this game won before tomorrow, but then no it wasn’t the case Australia are now on one hundred and twenty four for three which is a lead of thirty four, and they’ve got Smith in bat...

Day 2158

Day 2158;

My BMI for today was 19.36, steps that I had walked was 18,738 (which was the equivalent of 12.13 km) and I got burned 1730 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple, peach, nectarine and yogurt.
Lunch: omelette (cheese), chocolate and chocolate trifle.
Dinner: chicken casserole (carrots and peas), roast potatoes and lemon meringue pie.
Drinks: milk, Lucozade sport (raspberry), fruit squash and hot Ribena.
Snacks: rice cakes (yogurt and chocolate).

The day that never comes, I don’t know what I have got planned for tomorrow, but I’m hoping to get in some more exercise just to make myself more ready for the unexpected call up to the Olympics next year, I’m not even sure of what sport I am even going for yet, but then I’ll probably be guessing about now that there’ll probably be some cycling thing that I would be able to do, for the Paralympics. But I’m by means in any contention for anything, least not at the moment, but I have more of a chance of being able to compete at the Winter Paralympics in two years time, now that is just as I can get down any slope on two skis with minimal interruptions to my skiing but then again there’s also snowboarding that I’m getting into which could potentially give me more of an opportunity, to qualify for team GB, assuming that they still allow folk like me into the team GB set up.

Now today I have been on a tandem ride it was a ride to a bank, then when we’d arrived Mich got off went into the bank, then after he’d returned to the tandem we had to walk to another bank, which was around some corner; and outside of the shop which was two doors down from the second bank, or something like that, there was a man playing on his guitar who was really quite good so much so that Mich told me to go to the shop and drop two pounds into his guitar case, of which I did (before that Mich had gone into the second bank and did some probably money stuff, as it’s a bank what else is there to do in a bank). Then after all that excitement we set off on the tandem towards our starting point then we finished off our cycle and I believe that it was time for lunch.

Then after lunch I sat outside for hours playing with the Papa New Pigs (Guinea Pigs) they had been nibbling at my fingers and toes, for quite some time, before I suggested that they were to go back into the hutch, as they were appearing to be cold, to me at least. How did he get that sense? As they were both nibbling at my hands and feet quite nicely, then they suddenly stopped and then they decided to lay down behind my foot as if they were shielding themselves from the wind behind the warmest thing in the pen meaning me and my foot.

Now what did I do after such as it was getting quite late on in the afternoon, by that I’m meaning something like five o’clock in the afternoon, which I know isn’t really late in the day but just approximately an hour before dinner, three hours before weigh in time and then a total of six hours before bed time for me to have an about half hour rest before falling to sleep so then I will be having a good healthy six and a half hours of sleep before a six o’clock get up time in order for me to have enough energy for my cycling exploits of the following day.

Day 2157

Day 2157;

My BMI was 19.20, I had only made 14,828 steps  which was apparently 9.60 km and I had also managed to burn 1373 kcal.

Breakfast: cereal, strawberries, banana, orange, apple, peach, nectarine and yogurt.

Lunch:  I’ve forgotten.

Dinner: fish (haddock, cod in batter), chips, curry sauce and chocolate trifle.

Drinks: milk, fruit squash, Lucozade sport (raspberry) and hot Ribena.

Tomorrow I will be going on another cycle, on the tandem then I don’t think that I have anything planned for tomorrow so my day may consist of listening to the cricket as England managed to get ten Australians out in one session today, which I think is pretty impressive, from a non cricket background.

Then today I have been in on the Zwift bike for the morning, but I disgusted myself on my other activities especially as I only managed to get just over 8000 steps a according to my watch today. So that’s what I get for riding a bike for an hour in the morning before I basically took it easy for the rest of the day until I went for a walk around a hill fort for the afternoon, then I went to a fish and chips shop for some takeaway dinner.

It’s the Ashes, a cricket competition between England and Australia, which is played yearly in England then in Australia consecutively, and it’s been called the oldest rivalry in sport, I generally believe that the Aussies are going to win, as they generally did win when I was growing up. Then today Australia got 284 runs in their first innings, which was a very good score, and the English only managed to get ten runs for no wickets. The score was 122 for 8 before I had started my fish and chips, and then I heard the falling of Steve Smith as I was in the car on our way home from the seaside, after an impressive 144 by Steve Australia had a score of 284 all out.
