I was hoping for a really good week this week. But it all went a bit wrong on the weekend. After a birthday meal out Friday night, a very late Crisp binge in the early hours of the morning Saturday and then 2 chicken pasties and a litre of Orange juice at the end of a very tiring and draining 3 hour mountain biking session, it seems recovery was a little too much to hope for! :( Serious decrease in exercise this week didn't help either. Kind of put a bit of a downer on the end of what has been an amazing year! I will make a post some time in the next 2 days with my real feelings of the contrast between who I was and how I looked and felt in Jan 2011 compared with Jan 2012. Obviously the difference is vast, but there are a lot of small differences that I have been thinking about recently that are making the world of difference to me!
Had an Awesome run tonight setting not only a PR 5km (27min 48sec), but kept that pace going to do a PR 10km (58:05)!! Felt great! Best my Achilles has felt in over 2 weeks! It was smooth and steady and felt amazing after (although extremely tired! :P ).
Positives and Negatives of the week:
+ 1 year anniversary having lost 11st 6.5 lbs (160.5 lbs / 72.80 kg)
+ Something I missed pointing out last week: A staggering 40% of my starting weight lost!
+ Loved my run tonight! 58:08! Get in!
- Downer to have put on 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg) on my last week of the year! :(
Goals for this week:
1) Stick to it as best i can, as I'm off to SA this week!
2) Lots of running, walking and some cycling if I can find a bike to ride, in the warm South African air! Will be making the most of it before returning to dark cold UK!
Away in SA for 2 weeks. Will post some blogs, but no official weigh-ins as there is no Slimming World out there. Hoping for a loss in 3 weeks time! :P
