C556 351 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I usually gain a stone or two for the winter and drop it for the summer. The extra fat keeps you warmer, and it's good to have the strength that goes with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,132 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 As I,ve said before we may think we are superior but underneath everything we are still a basic mammal, and like all mammals it's our body,s job to store fat for the cold months, we are also more tired because it's natural to sleeping more like all British mammals they don't hibernate just sleep for long periods to conserve energy as in nature there is less food around in winter so why expend energy looking for food that's not there when you can just sleep, we can also consume around 3000 calories just to stay warm if we never had central heating, so scram up and enjoy it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,200 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Days are shorter & sun is lower. Im less active, started taking vit D last winter as seemed to feel better when the winter sun was out, havent felt the need to take it so far this year, but generally my head is in a better place, grafting this morning and the splitting logs for a bit this afternoon till it got dark. Work will set you free! ('pparently) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
