Yeah, not through choice though.
It's getting to the stage where three gym sessions a week doesn't counteract the copius quantities of beer than I am forced to enjoy on a daily basis...
So I reckon if I don't give up now, it'll be after Christmas and by that time it'll be too late.
If I can shift 6k in six weeks* (approx Xmas) then I can enjoy** the festivities.
