The problem with this time of year is that the house is full of yummy things of all sorts. What do you do – go mad and deal with the consequences the rest of the year or remember the tiny progress over the last 6 months and hold back a bit?

The dauphinoise leftovers are calling me to the dark side

Edit: Apologies for wrong forum 🙁 – I blame the Ventoux

I work on the principle that the body can only digest the first 5000 calories in a 24 hour period. 😀

normally I would ask for your source of info but in this case I don’t care. It’s on the internet so its true

That’s right, it’s proper science. <Eats 6th mince pie>

Just go for it. Don’t think about it.
All all just fuel for winter rides

As i’ve lost my appetite due to illness and am having minor surgery on the 4th I’m abstaining which is very unusual for me 🙁

It’s just pre-loading ahead of a big ride after Christmas.

Once I stood in a burger van queue at a sports event. Standing in front of me then ordering a hotdog with all the trimmings was Christine Ohurugu.

If you check out Jessica Ennis Instagram, she’s not holding back on Christmas dinner.

You need to enjoy yourself once in a while, otherwise it all becomes a very boring tiresome effort.

Sorry, are we not meant to have started yet?

I’ve been on a rampage all month.

Not sure where I left my bike.

the way i’m going i’m not sure where i left my toes :(, damn this tasty stuff

A bicycle is a conveyance to get you to the pub in December.

I may need a 39er to get going later this month……..

You mean you have to stop?

Had to cut the elastic waistband on my trousers 😳
I can’t stop.

There’s a choice?!?

Think I’ve been going full bhoona for about 20 years, yes, it shows! 😆

I cycled 90 miles last week in preparation. Double my usual weekly mileage.

I’ve been building up for weeks. Feel properly fat now, and I know it’s not even Christmas yet. Fully expecting to stand on the scales one day and find myself half a stone heavier.

You can get rid of it quick though, right?

Problem being Winter is yet to arrive.
I don’t need fuel to ride in current conditions, I need flippers.

Yep, you just have to download the MFP app for your phone and that’s it gone, easy

Bottle of red just a gonner 🙂

14st 0lb this morning. It’ll be interesting to do it in 2 days time after ever increasing the inlets of pleasure.

Oddly I don’t feel the need to go mental. But I probably overeat a little all the time. It doesn’t seem to stick much either.

Too late.

Went to bed at 2.30, feel like crap this morning.

Mrs G is doing some breakfast, to soak up last nights booze.

We walk the dogs and I will cook a huge meal and eat about 5 and start on the piss again.

I feel a dry January coming on.
