Day 399 to 397 inclusive

I've been busy, well, Gav busy, well old Gav busy, or something like that. Walking, radio and planning.
Days 399, 398 and 397 turned into full days. I feel I could have been more productive but new things took up my time.
I'm training for a charity walk through London in late September with my cousin and I've actually been to the gym.
Late night, marathon distance, walk through London with family and friends is fast approaching and i cant wait. It's just walking right?
The healthy eating is going well, although I am the worst Vegan ever.  Cheese and fish have passed my lips. Ive stayed away from all the regular crap. No fizzy, sugary drinks, no booze and no picking.
How do Vegans feel about honey?
The big challenges are yet to come. This weekend i am visiting my parents.
My Ma & Pa are incredibly generous hosts, the fridge is always, but always, stacked to bursting with "goodies". There is always alcohol aplenty and seemingly always a reason to have a drink. Mother is always pottering in the kitchen either making and preparing food or cleaning up after the last thing she made or prepared. Its bank holiday weekend too.
When I told my Mum that I was coming home she immediately went through ideas for dinner. "Chicken, ribs and salad with new potatoes?" she asked, "is it vegetarian chicken and ribs?" I replied.
After about 3 or 4 texts I was able to convince my Birth-giver that I was, in fact, a newly crowned vegetarian and she quickly amended the menu for the weekend.
This week has also seen the, faster than expected, arrival of my, now internationally listened to, radio show.
A few weeks ago they told me that it can take up to 6 weeks to get on air but ive managed it in two. Whether they were desperate or idiotic is still to be seen but the feedback so far has been incredibly positive and complimentary.
I've received praise from people whose opinions and approval I never thought I needed, but as it turns out, it feels great to be told you are good at something you want to be good at.
Tuesdays to Friday's between 12pm and 1pm will only get better.
