Not such a dramatic drop in weight this week as getting munchies around 4.00 each day and eating chocolate bars and jelly babies... not something I usually do so body acting in an unusual way with lack of booze. Still going well though, easier than I thought, even managed a trip to  watch Ulster play Biaritz without drinking.

As for cycling, did my indoor session with the iTune spinning class again and at weekend was in Hampshire so took advantage of the situation to see Rupert for our usual ride. Been a long time and was in very poor condition. Lot of work to do between now and summer.

Well, only one go on exercise bike this week, but the non-alcoholic January is having an effect with 4lbs down. Downloaded spin session from iTrain, very good though only 30 mins. Average power up to just under 230 which is pretty good.

Not a great week for cycling particularly as I was at home on holiday, however, did get onto the exercise bike and do a hard half hour - well its a start. Alcohol stopped for January result a couple of pounds lost, however, not sure pints of ginger beer is going to help.

Got organised about our trip to Mallorca in May, everyone now booked on Easyjet and Roche have got new Trek Madone bikes for hire so should be fun and I don't have to lug my bike down on the plane.

Neil McClumpha has decided to join us on the Marmotte and is suggesting he and I cycle part of the way down to our awayweekend in the South West this May, could be fun too, watch this space.
