Today has been another good day. In fact it was a tat-trick day of 15k steps! I think thats the first 3 day streak of 15k steps I've had. My phone tells me its 11.78 Km, but I question the accuracy. I do no for certain that I've spent a fair bit of time walking over the last 3 days. I've added a couple of exercises to my walk which has been fun; on my morning walk I do a set of 25 inverted push ups which I guess you can call a pull up - lifting my weight in an upside down push up position. And then in my evening lap with the dog I do a set of wide grip pull ups / chin ups. I started at 3, now today I hit a new personal best with 7. I'm aiming for 10 currently.
I had boxing this morning which was a 45 minute sparring class first. I got some rounds in witht he coach and a younger girl. I ended up just working defense and footwork with the girl as she was quite young and much smaller than me and kinda looked like she was going to cry when i hit her with a lightish jab. The rounds with coach went much better, I can see I'm improving in the ring. I'm working angles, slipping occasionally, getting hit less and hitting the coach much more than past sessions. I'm not thinking I'm anywhere near his level and I know he could towel me up if he really wanted to, but I'm getting more relaxed and better in the ring. He leveled up his intensity a bit today and hit me with a few harder shots. The beautiful thing was, they didn't really bother me too much. I'm going to get hit in boxing and the more comfortable I am with that the better fighter I'll be. Today was a good session, I really enjoyed myself. I stayed for the class afterwards and ended up doing around 90 minutes in total.
I only had time for a quick shake immediately after boxing, and technically my fast hadn't finished by that time anyway had my lunch at around 2:30; a steak, slaw and jasmine rice. I also had a good serving of salt and coconut water to help with the inevitable cramps I knew were coming. I spent the rest of the afternoon chugging water and resting.
Dinner was a nice piece of salmon with salad. No starchy carbs. I'm hoping for a decent drop on the scales tomorrow morning. And as of tomorrow morning, I'll be in my 5th week of 6 - time flies when you're having fun!
