Wow, I'm almost into double figures. The final countdown! I've almost finished sprint 2. Its been a great ride actually! I've lost some weight, gained muscle, increased fitness and learnt a lot about myself and about this process. But I don't want to get ahead of myself - I've got 10 more days to go and I'm planning to finish strong. Today was a weights day. Alternating between boxing and weights is working well for me. I find myself looking forward to whatever I haven't done for a day or two. It doesn't always work out ideally, but thats OK - I've learnt to roll with the unexpected changes. The important thing is that I do something every day. And today was weights. I did a push workout after 4 rounds of boxing. I'm sticking with a high rep (12 - 15) range with a quick rest between each set. I'm walking a lap around the gym between each set which takes 45 - 60 seconds. Walking between sets is great - it keeps my heart rate slightly elevated and also accumulates q steps towards my daily total. The gym laps combined with a morning and evening dog walks got me to just over 15k today. I upped my chin up record to 8 consecutive wide grip pull ups tonight. It wasn't long ago that I was riddled with shoulder pain and couldn't even hang from the bar. I nursed that shoulder for the best part of 2 years. It gave me pain every day and severely limited what I could do physically. At the time I thought the injury was never going to go away. I tried Chiropractor, multiple Physiotherapists, Massage, lifting, stretching all with limited success. I turned a corner with it when i started to see my current Osteopath. It took regular treatment for a few months + a lot of exercises for me to do at the gym, but eventually it started to get better, and better, and better until eventually - no more pain! No more pain and I am closing in on 10 consecutive pull ups. Injuries will happen, its inevitable, but its how we manage them thats important. Note to future self - don't leave injuries unchecked, get on top of them asap. My diet was probably an 8 out of 10 today. A few little extras I didn't need were added to my regular food; a few walnuts on my salad, a few grapes here and there from the bag (I so, so need to stop with this) and a couple of roast potatoes at dinner time. Meh, maybe a couple of hundred extra calories, I'm still in a deficit but tomorrow will be better. ​
