I have a confession to make. Over the weekend I did not manage to curb the sugar intake. Because of this my muscles are now screaming at me. Today I have pulled back on the sugar but have not gone cold turkey. I know very well if I do it will create a crash and I will turn into the monster from hell, if, that is I am not completely crashed out and sleeping. I more than halved my intake of sugar today and will cut back further tomorrow.
On the training side of things I did not run today. Another thing I have learned over the years is the Beast will punish me if I repeat train the same muscles on a daily basis. Already my calf muscles are knotting, so I am mixing up my workouts. Today we were back at class after the holidays so it was a boxing and a core workout today. Love putting on the gloves and doing boxing drills.
Something I do not love though is seeing myself on video, especially when I have been in the grip of the beast for so long. I am heavy at the moment and hopefully I can change that. It is not something that sits well with me. I am used to being fit, okay I never had a six pack but I was happy in my skin. Today I am not happy in my skin. This has to change. Onward and upward.
