All started well on Tuesday with an early gym session followed by the normal routine throughout the day however Wednesday and Thursday were spent away from home on a residential training course which made it far more difficult to stick to.
The morning shake was pretty straight forward as it could be done in my room and I could miss breakfast with the other course attendees. The daily routine from then was not so simple because it was centred around the classroom and central dining area so I just had to pick the more healthy option available which meant salad at lunch time and fish and vegetables in the evening.
Not too bad but at the same time not easy to abstain from the constant flow of coffee and biscuits or cakes being bought in for each break during the day.
I made an attempt to get some exercise but the gym (if you can call it that) was about the size of a normal car garage and most of the equipment was broken so I resorted to running up and down some steps to get my heart rate up along with a few sit ups and push ups.
Friday was back to normal with a decent 50 min cardio session in the gym on the cross trainer and treadmill, 2 MonaVie shakes for breakfast and lunch and a nice chunky chicken and vegetable stew for dinner along with a blueberry and skimmed milk smoothie for desert and a treat of cheese and biscuits.
Today has been far better with a 2 hour walk this morning with the dog and the rest of the day spent in the workshop preparing my motorcycle for a show next weekend.
Tonight we are out with friends for a Chinese meal so it will be interesting to see what healthy options I can find on the menu.
I may have to work extra hard on my morning walk/run tomorrow.
