Beating Back The Beast - one week four days

Sensei wins the day. I got my mojo back today though I also got back the small amount of weight I had lost since the weekend. I had dropped 800 grams, this morning I found it, sigh. My energy levels were up though and I got not only my jobs done but put in a short interval training in the late morning as well as doing class tonight.

 I know 'pride cometh before a fall' but I am quite proud of myself today. After the day I had yesterday to get two training's in at different times of the daywas a good confidence booster. It is also a good way to get the metabolism firing. The morning training was short but it was intense, we live on a river terrace so I did ten sprints up the bank with a walk back down to control my breathing and heart rate before heading back up again.

 I love interval training. It gives me intensity but allows me time to reset, to catch my breath and allows my muscles to relax a little before the next blast of power. My goal will be to build on this until I can head down to the only hill in the area and do hill sprints of around 50 mtres with a walk back down. I used this as part of my training for my black belt and it worked a charm. The first time I did it I managed 5 but built to twenty reps by the time my grading came around. It's going to be interesting to see how many I can do when I head down there for the first time. It better be more than 5!

Still having a hate/ hate relationship with food. I just wish it could be interesting and flavoursome, sigh. But it is what it is, and at the end of the day it is only fuel. Ha! I will keep telling myself that until I believe it.
