Things are still on track. I am maintaining my one carb meal per day strategy, although I am adding occasional after-dinner treats in the evenings whilst watching the telly. The weather is dampening the spirits slightly as we are still in the grip of a freezing winter. The temperature dipped down to an astonishing minus nine degrees last night – I have never known it this cold in my part of the UK. My weights equipment is housed in the garage and I estimate that the temperature was at least minus five whilst I trained chest, shoulders and triceps yesterday!
I have continued to do my 3.5 mile run before breakfast but I am changing my routine for the next few weeks until the end of the festive period. I am reducing my daily mileage to just 2.5 miles per day until the beginning of 2011. I will be aiming for six runs per week but if I occasionally miss one then so be it. Come January 1st however I aim to get right back at it and increase my intensity.
Hi Neil
Good on you! Hope you had a good Xmas …. hate to tell you but ours was a very hot one – I even had a swim in the afternoon. I am such a total bitch!!!
Cold weather definately makes one eat more so I really admire your discipline – having a treat or 2 is fine!!
Hi,
I am so jealous! It has snowed daily since last Thursday, with temperatures averaging at around minus 2.
I have let things slip a bit. Yesterday was a family day and I ate far too much. My breakfast was adequate enough for 2-3 people and then our evening buffet was ridiculous! I was sensible on Christmas Day though and today, so far, I haven’t done too much damage.
No cardio for three days now! Gonna rectify that tomorrow…
