Week 15: A Quickie

I’ve decided to quit booze for May.

It was an exercise in willpower. After all, like any other muscle, willpower needs to be trained. This is just one way of doing it.

Didn’t manage to run very much. My ankle still ached from last Saturday’s cycling session. However, I’m lifting 22.5 kg/arm now. That’s got to count for something.

I believe that I’ve to change up my diet soon. It’s not doing me any good to keep scarfing non-quality food at funny timings.
