What a great weekend I had. Friday night there were drinks and a delicious roast and polenta dinner here, Saturday I spent all day at work, before heading in for more beers with the rellies. Sunday we played golf at the town course then had some more 
drinks. Obviously, from that ultra quick run down, all the good work from last week was nearly undone with the diet and booze blow out of the weekend. I’ve really got to tighten up on the control thing here. One night in at the rellies, as one night a week on the booze is well enough for me while I’m working hard at what I’m doing.
Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with how the training is going. Have really only been into it a week or so, coming up on two weeks, but it’s starting to feel like routine. Starting to see some results – my pants were definately looser than a couple of weekends ago when I was out with Dad. That is pleasing, particularly cause it’s only two weeks. I think the goal for this week will be to train 2 per day on at least 3 days, and golf twice. Money’s always an issue with that though.
Golf was ok. Nothing to write home about. Hitting the driver well. Still some inconsistencies to iron out, but it’s the short game that really needs the bulk of the work. It was atrocious at best. Putting was not great, missed quite a lot of relatively straight puts – maybe quitting on the follow through as Dad suggested. Am planning to, and want to get some more work done – perhaps the short course at Innes Park is what I need to do a fair bit of for a while, just until I get the short game under control. Have tried suggesting that MG put a putting surface in in the yard, but to no avail. Bastards. Although understandable – maintenance would be horrendous.
On the upside, we’ve discovered, through extensive research and experimentation, that low carb beer doesn’t give you a hangover! There’s less alcohol and lower total volume of beer in the bottles, but at the end of the day, when you’ve had 10 stubbies, you feel like you’ve had 10 stubbies. It’s full on strength but low on carbs, great for the diet and no hangover to boot!
