Thanks to the friends that wished me a speedy recovery. It is only a slightly bad cold (resisting the temptation this time to use the term flu/man-flu, as I’d be in worse shape for longer if that was the case, but the muscle aches and sweats weren’t a nice intro), but given that I’ve already voluntarily said no to going out a few times, I think it must be serious enough for my brain to engage before my liver screams out “abuse me” 🙂
Anyway, it would appear that the best way to flip from feeling fine to lying on the sofa increasing Kleenex’s share-value (YOU, yes YOU, stop sniggering) is a hard gym workout when you aren’t feeling 101%. That is particularly annoying, as this was the week when I was finally going to progress to three sessions per seven days.
In other news, I recently discovered that Stephen Fry shares a fondness for something with a good friend… going commando! Don’t remember that from either of the Fry auto-biographies I’ve read. Speaking of the (for now, (donations welcome if you’re reading this)) un-named friend, he had some big news for me when we skyped recently, but I need to check if it totally public news or not before relaying it.
Anyway, just typing this out is making me wish I was doing less, so I’ll shut up for now.
Commando, Mystery And Stephen Fry

Cool, you’re going to the gym again? Sounds like we’re both on a health kick and getting ill over it. I had a cold last week and only went to the gym once. This week wasn’t much better with one gym and one jog. Still, don’t stress, I figure some exercise is better than none 🙂 Hope you feel better soon x

Yes, started a week or two after my birthday, managed at least once every week, a couple of twice a weeks, and wanted three this week, but not going to happen! I moved your comment from the original tweet to this compilation post, hope you don’t mind.
Once I’m feeling better, and back to trying three times a week, I need to get back down to last year’s portion sizes for meals as well. It is pointless me trying to give up beer, an occasional vodka of totally quitting smoking, likewise the occasional deep-fat fried chicken product and chips is never going to vanish from my menu, but I managed to lose a fair few kilos last year with regular exercise and less calories going in, so hope to re-lose those last few kilos within a few months! Until Xmas that is, when I’ll hopefully be in Britain, and probably gaining a bit more once again 🙂
