All Work and No Training Makes Me Wobble

It's been a week and a half, maybe two weeks since I last trained. I feel awful. I have been a bit off the boil with training anyway, my game has been somewhat lacking. Couple that with sudden, looming essay deadlines and having to park training firmly on the back seat, all at once the wobble begins to lurk. You can feel it creeping ever closer, like a strangely, ninja webble.

(It's coming)

So I made a promise to myself, last week was essay week. A week of bad food and no training, a week of not giving a damn. I hardly moved, I ate curry and cheese and sweets and more cheese and did I mention cheese. It was wonderful.

Today, however marks the start of a new week, a new game plan and a new set of rules. Today I trained like a boss. Today I fought back at the demons.

It helps of course, that I have come away for a couple of night with my Mum, Aunt and Cousin. We are having a spa break. Which of course for my Mum, Aunt and Cousin means relaxing, good food, a treatment or two and some more relaxing, at a push they might utilise the pool. For me it has been something quite different. Poached eggs on toast for breakfast, training, spa treatment, soup, training, dinner. Now admittedly as you can see I haven;t exactly nailed the nutrition, I may have under done it a little. I promise steak for dinner, which may redress the balance, if not undo the damage. It's not a regular thing, so hopefully the impact won't be too bad and I have at least kept up my hydration.

My training, this morning, on my own was a little haphazard, but it felt good to be moving again and I need to keep in mind, that at least it is better than nothing. This afternoon I joined one of the classes on offer and was fortunate enough to pick one with no other participants, so essentially I had a free PT session. Sweet. I have written that session up and you can see it as today's other post.

So it is time for game face, for go hard or go home, it's time to sweat like I mean it. With Christmas coming it's going to be hard to maintain, but I have a plan, so watch this space.
