I plan on weighing myself weekly, however i got on the scales on December 28th and I weighed 79kgs.....basically deep down I'm a vain bugger and even tho 79 is fine, I want to get the abs back (one of the fundraising events for my R.N.L.I Ironman mission is a topless calendar with my mates ha ha ha, I don't think I've ever had to do so little persuading!!!) and I always found that when I've been around the 72kg mark my fitness/performance has been at it's best. With a marathon coming up in a mear 7 weeks since re-starting training again, half ironman and the big Ironman I want to be at my best soon!
What hasn't helped but I don't regret one bit as it was the funniest few days in a while was a 3 day bender in Edinburgh over new year. They definitely know how to celebrate New Year!
Since then I've been back eating pretty much the way I do when it's training time - Anything that's lived, grown or been planted and except for one bagel and soft cheese I've stuck to it well. The plan is 1-3 meals a week treats e.g. takeaways or an unhealthy option.
Anyway weighed in at 77.5kg today, I was pleasantly surprised and on top of this I've put in some cracking training sessions. BOOM, its on the way back in style!!
Training wise this week I've done 2 runs one being a tough 10miler, a cross fit session and about 4 sessions on the turbo trainer - they've all been intense which I'm convinced is the key to getting leaner as well as improving performance, I'm doing a fraction of what I was last summer and to be fair, I've done no Junk session - if I've not been fresh I've rested when I've trained I've pushed it very hard. Despite partying most weekends over the last 8 weeks I'm not far off where I was last summer and think I could surprise myself come the Blackpool Marathon even tho I'm only running twice a week, one long run and one flat out run. Maybe beating my 2.59 is beyond me but I really don't know and I'm only running 2 times with the rest being cycling!
Anywere there we go - week one - 77.5kg a drop of 1.5kg in 10 days. Decent start :)
Personal training blog as well as my own training and nutrition blogas lots of people have started asking me questions about my training and nutrition, how, why and when, what etc - il try and keep updates of training, nutrition and keep it open for any questions and advice. Also my training is not perfect and I'm always learning but it's just what I'm currently doing to live for the adventure and the next challenge!
