Before we go over more training methods, i would like to comment on all the feedback i had to last friday’s post of having a christmas party, enjoying the whole process but suffering terribly the next day from drinking too much alcohol!!!
Most people who have been through the process over the last week or so tell me it goes like this!
You go out on the party, drink far more than normal, have a great time, and then reality starts biting hard the very next morning!!!!
If you wake up early like me, you wake up with a vile headache and a feeling of sickness.
You need a walk to clear your head, but because of the amount of alcohol, it doesnt make the usual big difference!!!
Then you come back home and try and eat food, drink water and a coffee. Somehow this doesnt cut it this time!!!
Then you have lunch which helps a bit, and then with every meal the feeling gets a little better, but you cant wait to hit the sack the following night!!!! And early too!!
Then the next day, you expect good performance but even the next day after that you feel lousy, and getting your body to feel good is a conundrum of the highest complexity!!!
Then the next few days, you are so glad to get back to eating well, and getting your body used to exercise again, but you will notice that your body doesnt respond quite as prompty and as freely as usual!!! These feelings can go on all week long!!!
Most if not all of the feedback i have had is like this! This means that alcohol in excess SEVERELY AFFECTS PERFORMANCE and wrecks progress, and if you’re looking to keep on improving, or even FEEL normal, then heavy drinking over christmas has to be the LAST thing on your mind.
I’m glad i learned my lesson last week and dont intend repeating it any time soon!!!
Hi Keri, pleased you enjoyed yourself last week on the Gym nite out. I was supposed to b going on my Christmas nite out tonite, but alas I am unable to go, I have Larengitis, cant speak, no voice also I have chest infection, so not good. Last week I had the children and I was painting the house, this week I am ill, so maybe next week some time I will b able to make it. Sticking a my diet even tho I cant train, so am losing weight, think it is the coughing and sweating.
sorry to hear you are ill again, the place is not the same without you!!!!
This has been the worst bout of colds, flu and just about everything i have ever seen!!!
Get well soon and hope you are better before christmas!
Been to A & E and had a blast of the Nebulizer, on Penicilling now. Still no voice, Ken’s pleased, no he has been good really except that he still expects me to answer the phone and I cant speak, its for you he tells me, soooo, they cant hear me!! Doh. Well Keri, I miss the Gym believe it or not, hope to be back soon and its 2 weeks to Christmas, so I should be better by then. Andrew has his works do tonite, taking the staff out for a meal, Jasmine not sleeping over, she has a bug and I dont want her to get what I have got, Ryan’s chest infection is better after 2 weeks and 2 lots of penicillin, bless. Enjoy the weekend, c u soon.
