Nuts about Bolt

Can you believe the man Usain Bolt did it again! He didn't just win the 100 meters mens final in Berlin this last week, but also thrashed the world record. If you watched the final the other day like me you'll know what I mean when I say he didn't even look like he was trying that hard. Certainly not if you compare it against his competitors. I can't help but feel sorry for them as they struggle to do what would in ANY other decade been a world defeating time. He just humiliates them. Maybe i've got a 'give up now' attitude, but really why bother? It doesn't matter what you do, you just cannot come close to someone who can run like that. I'm not knocking Bolt. He will be a legend in athletics history like Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis of that I can be sure. He is astounding....WOW!

I dont cause quite as big a splash anymore!

Why is that I hear you say?

It's nothing to do with my diminishing popularity, although that may be a little true. What I'm speaking about is the fact I'm just a little less......big, than I was. I did lose 28lbs a little while back, but because of my emergency treatment for stones and the upheaval that caused my eating regime, it meant I put some of that weight back on.

The good thing is that I didn't put on as much as I thought I had, and my determination to get back on the saddle and rid myself of the ripples is still in tact. In fact it's very good. As of today, as well as making up for the weight gain from before, I have now lost some on top of that. So my total weight loss to date is about 30lbs, which ain't to be sniffed at.

Thank you, but you can stop staring now...ha ha
