I have 56 days left to go before my first ever triathlon, and I’ve lost around half a kilogram (one pound?) of weight. Ok, it’s not much but then again I’ve not changed my eating habits at all, and I have noticed that my arms are looking leaner and my waist too. There’s still a […]

I cycled this morning and wow!  I was about half way through and somehow found a second wind, so powered through the last part. I think I’m actually getting fitter! Now, if only that roll around my middle would disappear…..!
