RE: Stoptober 2012
Another five miler this morning, far less energetic, partly because I tried out a Body Furness session on our cobweb-collecting exercise bike last night. 5 minute warm up at around 60% capacity, 4 x 60 second bursts of full-on intensity with 90 second intervals at 30% and a 5 minute warm-down. It didn't sound like much (in truth I saw it as an easy option amongst the work-outs I have on offer). But those 4 x 60 seconds are intense. Flat out is supposed to be just that, an eyeballs out thrash. I almost melted on the fourth circuit, my quads burned for quite a while afterwards.

My diet continues into week four - eight to go on this current path.
No cereals, bread, beer or spuds; lean meats, high protein/ low carb meals, snacks restricted to nuts and dried fruit and as much fruit & veg as I want. Sugar has also gone (I was taking one unrefined brown sugar cube in coffee). Results so far are mixed. My weight has barely shifted (though weighing myself on the freight scale at work may not be quite what I need). I feel like I've shifted some lard. Perhaps the fat is turning to muscle? Heh heh. Perhaps not, but I do feel better. I have more energy and sleep better, so that's something. My aim was to lose ten kilos in 12 weeks. The sojourn to Ireland was a set-back, but even allowing for that early results are disappointing. I'll plod on and see what happens.

   

Congratulations to Lou, Moylebird (Cam) and Jeanette (three of the 'Running Babes'). This morning they took on and beat the beast that is the Beachy Head marathon, in chilly, windy conditions with plenty of mud and slippery wet grass underfoot. They've raised money for the Martlets, a local charity, in Chris's name, running as 'Team Moyleman'. Wonderful stuff.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
