I guess I failed to mention when I started this blog that a week and a half after beginning it, I was heading half way across the world to San Francisco and Hawaii to enjoy a couple of weeks holiday. I guess I thought I could control myself out there. WRONG.
I ended up drinking loads, eating Chinese food, pizza's, burgers, chocolates, cheesecakes, ice creams, basically a lot of very bad stuff.
I'm back now on the blog after those two weeks away and a couple of days video shooting for a friends project. In that time, I don't even need to step on the scales... I can so tell I've put on about a stone (or even more!)
I guess psychologically I wasn't taking this challenge seriously because I knew I was going on holiday, but right now, there's no big holiday to look forward to. There's no excuses. All I can do now is really take this challenge by the scruff of the neck and make some REAL inroads.
So here's the update so far in My Twelve Month Mission to challenge myself physically. The first month (June) has almost gone and quite frankly I have nothing to show for it. This isn't good enough. The plus points are that I've booked 3 5km runs from July - September. From tomorrow I really need to implement the plan I blogged about earlier and with regards to food, I'll be looking to get 200g protein and less than 150g carbs a day, with a day off once a week.
I'll also be starting five-a-side football once a week from next Wednesday, and due to a very minimal amount of exercise on holiday, I'll be starting the 100 press up challenge from next Monday. That's a lot to get through starting from tomorrow, but it's on now. Just watch.
