In Sickness And In Health
Well it’s now been around 6 weeks since I posted properly to this blog so I think it’s high time I explain (a) where I’ve been (especially after all the emails and comments posted asking if I’m OK!) and then (b) we’ll get straight back into “normal service as usual”.
I mentioned previously that work was eating up far more of my time than I would have liked and whilst that has since calmed down - there have been other factors to my lack of posting here…
Unfortunately I got myself another nasty sprain to my ankle which took a good month to recover from and resulted in me limping around for weeks on end at work.
Just when I’d got over that, I came down with a nasty virus that zapped me of all my energy for a few weeks.
Last week I tried to go out for a jog but only got a matter of a mile or two from home before I had to sit down and rest for 15 minutes. I felt rotten and ended up walking home with my tail between my legs.
Whilst I’m improving all the time, 6 weeks without jogging means I’m pretty-much starting again at square one with regards to the running.
On the upside I have managed to keep up with my healthy diet during the period of enforced rest, and have done my weights from time to time (though not as regularly as before) so I have still been making improvements over the last few weeks - just not quite as quickly as before.
So I’m going to “wipe” the last 6 weeks or so from the journal and assume that I’m back in Week 6 now.
Half way there.
It’s not exact because as I say I have been eating properly so I will have lost a little more weight but I haven’t been going at it with the intensity I did when I was doing the Body For Life plan properly.
So keep your eyes peeled - I’m planning a Weekly Update within the next hour or so, then hopefully back to regular posting as I get jogging this coming week.
Please keep coming back!

cool! i’m on week 8… and its been going great!
one thing that helps for me is balancing between working out intensely, and also letting enough time for my body to recover. if i miss a run a day, i’ll just get back on track and try to be more consisent. same with eating right.
again, its all about progress, not perfection.
its a great feeling when friends of yours unexplectedly comment on how much different you look. that just keeps me going.
