Project Ripped

Today was another day similar to yesterday. After leaving our relatives house early this morning we drove down England to get to Legoland in Windsor. We spent the whole day there and didn’t get to our accomodation until 8:30 pm. After getting all of the gear out of the car and settling the kids down [...]

A very brief post today.
We spent the day at Alton Towers theme park and then aftwards drove down to stay with a relative for the night. Upon arriving it was very late and there was little space or time to do any exercise. I am feeling a bit guilty about not following a program this [...]

We were up at 5:30 am this morning in order to catch the boat.
The day has been quite long we have longed for our beds to catch up on the sleep. I have been quite stiff and sore today from the gardening yesterday and any exercise today was out of the question due to ‘gardening [...]

It is the day before we go for a short holiday break.

I have been having a bad day. We have had a full house since Monday with my Mum and niece and nephew staying over. It is great to see them all and it has been wonderful for our kids to play with my sister’s kids. Yesterday afternoon they set off to take the boat back [...]

After waking up this morning I went out for a cycle on the road bike. I followed my usual 15 mile route and it took me exactly an hour (to the second). The second half of the cycle was extremely difficult as it was in to a head wind. My legs were fairly tired and [...]

At 3:00 am this morning I was awoken by our youngest daughter who needed the toilet. Once I had put her back to bed I couldn’t get back to sleep. So, I went down stairs and watched some of the Olympic swimming events. Every one of the swimmers seemed so lean and muscular. By about [...]

I want to thank Larry for his question to me yesterday.
