Hello... Wednesday, Midweek... OK so I am bored.... but shh don't tell the boss lol...
I trained yesterday twice, once at Evade (which is undergoing some major renovations and installing a fitness suite, whatever one of them is) and again at The Chi Centre in Macclesfield with Steve Primrose... both were very different but good sessions. Heavy pad work session at Evade, and lots of fitness training and conditioning with Primo... All in all today my body aches... not the excruciating build up of lactic acid I suffered a while ago after training at Beast Masters, but it aches, my quads ache and so do my forearms.
So training is back on track... wahoooo... well for this week anyway. Tom Cox, from Evade asked me to go to his lesson tonight as they are sparing, and I am going to try and make it, although I know the timing is going to be tight...
Food... well actually the food side is going OK, I did eat some stupid sugary jelly sweets yesterday, as I missed my evening meal and got hungry and snacked... Dam... Note to all diet followers out there, don't skip meals.... note to self... try harder and do better...
The Diet Plate portions are back on track and I am using the plate and bowl regularly, and I am feeling better for it as well. Just goes to show what balance of food does for your body.
September the 24Th there is a seminar in London by Dan Millman, at the mind body spirit festival, it costs £40 and that's without travel and sorting out digs for the night... :o( So as much as I want to go I guess I wont be... Would be great to meet the man and listen to what he has to say. His books have helped me no end. Especially the now much acclaimed Way of the Peaceful Warrior series...
A quick note of thanks to Claire for the advice and help and kind comments. You can read her blog here
Well Today is a great day to die... well at least that's how I felt after training today... was a good hard basic work out, working on basic Punch's and kicks... fresh air strikes and combinations, then pad work. Good way to burn some calories and build up a sweat....
I love Evade and I love the instructors... Amanda took today's class. After training I went and found Dave Breed and asked about sparing, as I have a fight coming up. He sadly let me know that there is no sparring class at Evade anymore :o( However, they do spar in the Masters class and its about time I came along... So Wednesday, will see me turning up to a new class, full of more experienced people. Although I know some of them and have trained with most, I am quite nervous. And Excited.
Eating yesterday went really well, I didn't cheat, but did eat quite late. I have to stop eating at 9pm, as this does me (or anyone else) any favours what so ever. Portion control is in hand, and weight is striping off, although the scales only show a small loss each week (which all add up to a huge loss) the inch's are coming off. People are commenting again on the fact that I am once again losing weight. Which makes me feel good.... Couple with that with the sunshine and heat... the good news from Evade... and everything else wonderful in life.... And my world is pretty good today :o)
I hope all of yours is as wonderfull as well....
Stay Safe
