Dear Diary, 

Nothing much to report, all coming along nicely. Sticking to the diet a lot more than the1st time round, which I am sure will be visible at the end of this run... I am absolutely smashing the exercises, haven't missed a beat. Working for myself certainly does make it easier I think, I can get it done early and not have it hanging over me in the evenings. 

Which brings me to my next point. I am reading about people skipping exercises and missing bits here and there. I think it's my duty to pass on my knowledge and experience in this department. If you regularly miss things now, you will not be able to keep up, as we move through he program. It gets steadily harder and soon enough, it gets quite brutal, if you haven't been building up to it. I know that life gets in the way sometimes, and I accept that. But if you tell yourself it's okay to miss some bits sometimes, I think that will seriously hold you back. I reckon, actually, I know from past experience that having that mindset is just opening yourself up for slacking off. There will be times (not very often) that you can't get it done, but letting yourself thing that is okay, will surely just let you miss more. And as I said, this is only going to get more intense, so if you miss out now, it's gonna be even tougher. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am only offering the truth. 

First proper pull-ups today! Insanely hard, I managed about 3, then reverted to the early model. They will come though, you just have to stick with them. 

Right, I am off to do some extra shifts for Summerhall, working for someone else :-( But it's going to pay for Ski-pass :-) 

Thanks for listening (eh!?)
