I simply don't have enough time to cook sufficient quantities of food to satisfy my appetite. So tonight I found myself stocking up on chocolate bars (14 of various sizes and flavours to be precise) and have deposited them so they are within reach of wherever I happen to sit down.
You would think that my weight would be blooming, given this recent behavioural mirror of my previous lifestyle. In fact, it's stayed pretty much the same for as long as I can remember now and if I didn't scoff an extra thousand calories here and there, I'd be thinner than a rake.
Buoyed by the suggestions of an approaching Spring, tonight witnessed 2009's inaugural run around my benchmark 5km off road course. Not having completed a timed lap since the 21st July 2008 (25 minutes 40 seconds), I thought that 24 minutes 14 seconds was pretty good, considering I set off at 10k pace. To convince myself that I had actually knocked almost a minute and a half off my previous best without even trying, I did another 5km straight away. 25 minutes 54 secs.
Conclusive evidence that training does actually work.
The question is, will there have been enough training by June?
Current weight is 13 stones 2 pounds (184 pounds / 83.5 kg).

I'm not convinced - it could be just the chocolate.
I shall know more after finishing all 14 bars.
