Ten steps to a healthy new you
As outlined in Medical Notes by Dr Mark Porter in todays Evening Standard.
1. Broaden your mind - do something completely different.
Trekking in Africa next month is pretty unusual.
2. Worry less about your weight and more about your shape.
This is about losing intra-abdominal fat.
3. Run for charity
Well, I'm trekking for charity
4. Identify any problems in your life, face them, and take action
Am doing
5. Join a Pilates class
OK will do
6. Have your blood pressure and cholestorol level checked
Did it 3 weeks ago
7. Quit smoking
Not relevant!
8. Take the right supplements
Not sure about this one. But a Brazil nut once a day can help. Rich in selenium.
9. Cut back on salt
Will do
10. Treat yourself to a regular massage
Frequently do. Ask for Eva at "Sheline" in St Johns Wood

Top tip - don't try and outrun a cheetah.

Margate today
A fleeting visit to see Lord Neville of Margate. Before doing so, I took my lovely niece down to Foreness Bay. You know there's something so refreshing about an English seaside resort in December. It's called the temperature! Although one was blessed with some excellent winter sunshine, the cold curtailed our visit to one of my childhood playgrounds.
Undeterred by this calamity, His Lordship was collected and transported via the seafront at Grenham Bay , Birchington and onwards to the Minnis Bay Restaurant. The fabulous threesome eat their way through a pleasant Sunday lunch before taking in the sites of the wonderful Isle of Thanet.
It was so clear today that one could easily make out La France. The huge cliffs at Cap Gris Nez are easily viewed when atmospheric conditions allow. Apart from being in a plane over Manston aerodrome, or Kent International Airport as it's now known, the "best" place to see France is abive the port at Ramsgate. Yes, Ramsgate, home to Eascliffe Richard, Frannie Oapen, Ramsgate Tourettes and other well know personages of the East Kent Blogosphere.
(Iain Dale is from West Kent).
Having survived "Chav Central", our route took us through Westwood Cross.
(This absurd "out-of-town" shopping centre has decimated the High Streets of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate in one very foul swoop).
Upon our return to Westgate-on-Sea, tea was taken before the long-haul back to the centre of the universe.
What's this got to do with my training schedule. Not a lot. But families should always come first.

Eat the right foods
A proper balanced daily diet of all the "right-stuff" is important. It's even more important when you have a physical challenge that awaits!
One of my dear friends suggested I ought to take the occasional slice of caramalized ginger. "It's very good for you" she said enthusiastically. That and apple cider vinegar.
What's your opinion on alternative foods?
