It’s been a busy few weeks I also had a wake up call meeting with Zoe. We talked honestly about what I am trying to achieve and obstacles in the way. My biggest obstacle is Christmas and diet. I still need to lose weight. Despite all my efforts this past year I still have a way to go. Until I deal with my binge eating I’ll never break the cycle.
Although saying that things have been a lot better the past few weeks. Weight has slowly gone down and feeling a lot more focussed. Plus I also ran a half marathon on my own, well I did four laps of Mickleover and Sam joined for one of the laps.
We started at 6am and had perfect weather, slightly cool with low wind and no rain! I finished eventually very slowly and felt surprisingly strong. I think I may have gone a bit quicker had I felt more confident. I went slow as I was paranoid of not finishing. But none the less, finish I did. Linda had bought me a medal too so I was made up at the end.
It is Christmas week at the minute too so I am having a beer or two. I forget how much I enjoy a craft ale! But am also thankful that I can have one for a few days. I am conscious I start my formal 70.3 programme on 11th January and it will be serious face on for 16 weeks. I really need to shift the weight not least because I need to fit in my wetsuit!!
I also decided now was the time to join a Triathlon Team. Who else is there, but team Huub! Of course. :-). Super excited about this.
I’m also conscious I asked Santa for some weights for Christmas to do strength and conditioning training in the Pain Cave. Having had a sneaky peek under the Christmas tree I’m quietly confident of this coming true :-).
So I’m going to train Christmas Day and Boxing Day but also eat abud drink and be Merry. I need this. Then we re-focus for 2021. Thanks everybody for support and encouragement this year xx
