Weight: 104.9k
Total weight loss: 4.2kg.

Apologies for taking so long to update my blog. The new job has taken up a great deal of time and I have basically been a bit crap at finding the time. Call it blogger's block if you like.
Anyway, the good news is that the weight is still coming down.
The other exciting news is that all 12 of us on the expedition have been offered the services of a very update gym. Click here for details. It is not so much a gym, as a shrine to the body. I may have desecrated the place just by entering the hallowed portals. Certainly my old favourite gym t-shirt may have to be traded in for something sleeveless in white.
We now all have our own personal trainer, who is neither Australian or over enthusiastic. They are used to fat chief executives in there so I think toning up the muscles of the Arctic troupe is an interesting change for them as well.
Also the fundraising is going well. A big thanks to BT for stumping up £2,000 in sponsorship. Anyone else who would like to make a contribution can follow the link at the right hand side of the page.
I have decided that skiing would be good training for the expedition so I have booked two separate weeks off after Christmas to hit the piste. My companion for the holiday has never skiied before, but is eager to learn. So she will be enrolled in ski school while I weave my way down the mountain.
I have also decided that it would be futile to give up booze in the midst of the Christmas party season, so have postponed D-Day (Dry Day) until January 1.
So apologies again for not updating the blog in weeks, and I promise to update again soon!
