I have been feeling really motivated. I have been up to lots today.

I weighed in at 192.2 lbs. I did 50 bicep curls. I ran 3 miles at 8:50 minute mile pace. I did 30 minutes on the fakebike. 

I've been cooking a delicious meal of spaghetti bolognese from scratch (except the pasta!) for my wife. I am on holiday this week so I'm able to do lots of fun stuff away from work. 

So, I'm sat here in front of our coal fire enjoying feeling warm and toasty with a lovely glass of…

Hi everyone. It is great to be back here. I found this really supportive back when I was here before when I achieved great things with the support from all of you here.

I have a number of intentions for this season.

1. I will be lighter and even healthier. I lost a lot of weight back in 2008 (77 pounds). I did that through cycling, and doing things about food I was eating. I am now an Ultra runner - and oddly some of the weight has crept back on -…

I had a good journey in - the train was delayed - and so that meant that I spent more time with my lovely partner on the way to work. 

I had a lovely walk across the park in the morning. That was nice. 

I had a good day at work. I was able to get plenty of things done. I am feeling a bit more positive about things there. It is getting better. 

I ate healthily today. That was really good. I had three bananas. Egg sandwiches and some wasabi peas.…

I am relaxed and take everything in my stride. I run in the morning. Eat healthily all day, and am so incredibly productive at work. It is all absolutely marvellous.

What else? Well my and my partner have a lovely cuddle on the train. We have a lovely breakfast in the morning together to start the day. 

What is also brilliant is that I am able to feel really super positive and really engage with life once again. Its going to be amazing.

Today is a brilliant day. 

I have done a great race this morning. A 10 mile run locally. I achieved a personal best by doing it in 1:19:31. Well happy with that. I have a lovely medal. Great memories from that to keep. And a lovely picture with friends. Marvellous

I had a really relaxing day with my partner and a walk around the lovely gardens in Sissinghurst. That's a lovely national trust house nearby. We went along there and had a really relaxing walk around the…

Getting back to my seasons. I'm starting a new one. I need to reestablish direction in my life. 

My intentions are:

To enjoy the countryside

Enjoy every minute with my partner 

Appreciate everything in my life 100%

Be a great son and fiance and brother and uncle

Make the most of every minute

To be centred and enjoy my working life

To enjoy fabulous achievements in my running

to be fit and…

I am thinking about how i can make work better. I am sure that i will be able to get more into it and make it better and do a better job. It is a new one - which is really great. But very much hard work, and new people to build relationships with. I think it is getting easier - and I know I could be enjoying it more. 

Please will you give me tips and support? I have my first appraisal after 4 months on Thursday!
