The Friday Weigh-in

This winter has been a strange one. Normally I suffer from at least one major dip which results in me having to 'self-medicate' (well, maybe not having to but doing it anyway). I don't normally get sick at all and I find myself getting annoyed at others dropping like flies. This season I have managed to escape depression and I have effectively operated as normal throughout the winter. This may also explain why I have not put on weight again and I have kept training since I started my latest regime in September.
However, I am now dealing with another cold after having one last month. I am both sick and sickened. How can this be happening when I thought that I was the model of health immune to common viruses? Perhaps it's the relentless march of time or maybe having three children to bring every known strain of virus back from other places has done it for me.
Anyway, the winter is almost over for me because soon we will be in the Canaries enjoying some sun and when we get back spring will not be far away. Happily I have no beer gut to cover up this holiday so I will have no feeling of shame peeling off my t-shirt at the pool or on the beach. We will be going to a resort in Fuerteventura that has everything for the kids. It will be a all about relaxing and recharging the batteries and hopefully regaining my immunity from nasty virus attacks.
