After Christmas it will be time for us to have noble thoughts - or have them thrust upon us - for the new year. Healthy eating, proper diet, more exercise, less booze....usually these thoughts cast a pall of gloom over the start of the new year. So, Gentlemen, consider this.
1) Since I discovered the wonderful world of punting this year, nothing has ever motivated me more to keep fit and in trim than the prospect of my weekly punt. It's real, genuine motivation for exercise and healthy eating.
2) Once I've chosen and booked my girl for the week, I stay off the booze completely for the two prior days. It's not easy, with the shite on telly these days, but I want to be in perfect fettle for the big event.
3) The general feeling of well-being after a good punt can't be matched. It puts a spring in my step for days.
4) There's no better way to have a good, proper cardio-vascular workout than by having vigorous sex with a beautiful, busty blonde babe half your age. Admittedly, in my case, the cardio-vascular bit doesn't take long, but it's intense, that's for sure.
5) Nothing matches the glow of contentment later in the day when I can open my first bottle of claret for three days to celebrate transferring the girl's photo from the 'waiting room' to join the other full members in my 'Bullingdon Club' photo folder. Lovely!
So, if you're looking for health, happiness, fulfilment and fun in the new year, one resolution is enough; More Punting! And if your budget get's a bit stretched, remember, nothing is more important than your health. Wishing you a fine new years punting. Cheers!
