This is not a must lose weight; get fit etc post this is a plan.
The TW team will be doing the Walk Across Wales next weekend. Then three weeks later we will be doing the TW itself. The week after that I am on a 3 day course.
So my plan for the next 5 weeks is to create a period of review and habit spotting, habit review, habit changing and habit forming.
The observant amongst you would have spotted the weight chart has gone. The reason for this is my head isn't in the right place for that just now. I have the "lots of walking must eat" excuse firmly stuck in my mind and any good intentions fall over rapidly. Then I sulk, then eat and ... well you know! So I'm pushing that well away from my mind after all I am fit and healthy! Even the nurse said so!
So what am I going to do?
Well I have plenty of plans for the next few weeks!
I want to get back into the habit of running ... not just pottering but running! I'm not clock watching so don't care if I walk/run but when I run it's a run not a shuffle or plod.
I want to tri train ... again not excessive (after all there are 2 long walks to do and recover from!) but getting into habits even if it is just 30 mins on the bike with 5-10mins run etc. Get used to different sessions ready for a kick in July.
I want to observe my food habits ... one I've already spotted is that my piggy binges mainly happen in the morning.
So I'm going to try different breakfasts and eating more in the morning (Breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince, supper like a pauper).
I am going to get into the habit of drinking more and not just sweetened stuff like diet drinks!
Look to do some weights/toning.
Do something every day even if it is a 20mins walk at lunch (no not 20 mins round the shops!).
See all sorts of little things! But I'm not bothered if there are no huge changes.
This is a period of observation. Then after the TW and my course and once my legs are alive, then I take action!
I have that 5K to train for ... it will be a PB and non stop run! You know I have never run a 5K without walking!
I have the tri to train for ... goal 1 is to finish, goal 2 is finish under 2hrs and my ideal world goal is to finish in under 1:45!!
So that's what this Pixie is doing! What about you?
