After a little weight spike yesterday (up to 14st 12.2!) my “official” weigh in this morning was 14st 10.8! This has also dropped me below 30 BMI. When I was more muscular, I didn’t pay much attention to that figure,…

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,…
