This weekend was BAD. BAD BAD BAD.
I needed a time out… last week was a tough one mentally and spiritually for me. I was exhausted, tired, not focussed… and I needed a time out. I got it. I got a beautiful one. 3 days up north at the cabin. Awesome snowboarding… everything was brilliant. Loved it.
But nutrition and exercise was BAD. I won’t say how bad… but I thoroughly expect my body fat to increase considerably this coming Friday.
Which brings me on to stuff that I’ve had time to consider this past weekend… I need to extend this time out for the next few weeks, to encompass moving into the loft. I’ve been trying to accomplish too much… and while it’s been good, I need to put more and more attention on the loft.
So from today, for 3 weeks, my focus on training and nutrition will reduce somewhat. This doesn’t mean to say I’m going to have pizza every day. Hell no. Nutrition will remain good. However there will be breaks between training. This week, for example, I’m only able to train 3 days. Next week should be good. And the week after is my first week at the new gym, so I’ll be getting used to an entirely new rhythm and routine. I can’t put too much pressure on that.
So I’m trying to accommodate the best I can. Without going completely off tangent. Which I think – and hope – is doable. I will still be writing up every day, but my progress won’t be as great… I’m managing that expectation right now…
But still… when I get back into this, my first goal is going to be getting down to that 15% bf level. That’s a huge priority for me. I wanna get there. It’ll be a huge boost. And I’d like to do it (if possible) before heading away on my next holiday – if I get a holiday. I’m going to fight for that in work. We’ll see how that nets out.
