Well I think the regular climbing has been helping this goal but now I have started cycling to work I think I will get there even sooner. This is the fourth day of the 26 mile-a-day cycling (13 miles there and 13 back) so I expect to see some weight loss soon. Yesterday I beat the average single journey time of 1 hour 14 minutes with a time of 1:08. Today I managed 1:04. Door to door this is faster than if I went by train and tube.
Also yesterday we went climbing and in the bouldering section I managed all the green, blue and three yellow routes! Not only did I manage to beat the one yellow that has been bugging me for a few weeks now, but I also then went on to do two more. Dare I try orange….

How I did it
How I did it: Basically the fan of the hot air system was not working. This was the second fan I had installed and they don't seem to last very long so eventually had the whole lot replaced with central heating which is much more effective. Read how I did it…

I’m climbing regularly and think this is helping. I’ll report back when I know it is.
Solar power car

I will always endeavour to use solar power wherever possible. At the moment I am using it to keep the battery topped up in my car – there is a solar panel in the back window which links directly to the battery.
