Fighting The Flab

Hello once again people... today is Day 7 of the diet and fitness regime, or is it? OK, so it was a bank holiday over here in the UK (which means a long weekend) and the weather was nice for a change, which never happens, so the weekend was spent eating the wrong foods and drinking far too much, not overly bad, but more than I normally would.

I trained Thursday night at Lions Pride but didn't make Friday due to some timing issues. Saturday I didn't do a lot, although I seemed to be running around all over the place. Sunday I packed and emptied my flat (several hours of running up and down 3 flights of stairs with heavy boxes!!!) and then Monday I cleaned my flat (several hours of rubbing, dusting, polishing and hoovering!! How are housewives over weight?)

So I didn't train much over the weekend, apart from the packing and cleaning. I also snacked a fair amount as I didn't have time to cook (the oldest excuse in the book!!!). I spent some time Saturday evening with Stephen Primrose, my coach and friend and looked at the training that I am doing and the amount of time till the World Championships and I had to agree to step it up again, and be more commited and focused on what it is I wish to attain.

So Tuesday, Day 7 (or is it day 1) This morning I rode my bike for the first time in ages, I did a few miles around the town before heading into work, I now have a sore bum!

This evening I am cycling home, jumping into my car then heading over to Lions Pride to get beasted by Stephen. Tomorrow morning I will ride to work, then tomorrow evening I am out riding with a friend Phil, the guy who runs EETEP as we are trying to get used to riding before July 12Th and Manchester to Blackpool bike ride. Thursday will see me riding, swimming and training again.

I hope to update you some more before Friday anyway, so I hope this finds you all well and smiling.

Stay safe and well.
