Okay day 82 and we are approaching the last weekend of your challenge! What a weeekend with all the nice weather hitting us too, so no excuses not to get out there and enjoy the sunshine!
People in new york i can imagine use more exercise equipment because there tends to be extremes of weather there, it can be freezing in the winter, and the humidity can be a killer in the summer! So whatever you are doing, you tend to do indoors, spring and autumn apart of course when it can be fantastic!
Then, you have the likes of california, when all year round tends to be fantastic to workout outdoors, and do things where you have plenty of fresh air. We in the UK tend have mediocre weather which makes us feel pretty low sometimes, and then we tend to get over-excited when its sunny, and nothing worse than the sight of people taking their tops off for no reason at times, especially when its not the prettiest of sights!!
The number one thing is doing things you enjoy, and if you do them quite often, you are likely to get better and better at them, which means getting fitter and healthier of course.
Saturday is usually my day off, but i’m always looking for balance to my week and this week will be no different. I haven’t run so much this week as i’d like (which is a rarity) so i’m throwing a run in there at 6am tomorrow morning. A bit early for some maybe but as most of you know by now, 4am is my normal wake up call every work day. I know i will feel amazing at 7am!!
Nothing better then getting out there and getting some fresh oxygen in your blood. This process will help you repair all the cell damage we all go through every week due to the environment, be it pollution from smoke, eating food with too many chemicals, drinking too much alcohol, passive smoking, direct smoking or just about anything.
The bottom line is that we need to treat our bodies very well if we want it to be in good shape for our old age. Your retirement is there to be enjoyed in great shape, not some kind of meaningless existance that’s a constant struggle, you can turn it around right now and prepare yourself for some amazing health into your golden years.
So tomorrow morning, when i go for my run, not only will i enjoy it with all the great scenery, my dogs will enjoy it because they will be on a great run which they love and they get to swim, not only all of that, but i will be flushing all the toxins out of my system and re-charge my system, re-charge my blood cells, re-charge my vital organs to new levels of health and vitality, and i’m revving myself up with boundless energy too!
This is a great way to feel better, and its all free of course!! The best workouts are usually free, not stuck in some gym waiting for some exercise machine, with lots of germs circulating the air. Your best venue’s are all inside so enjoy them while you have the great weather around us.
Use your inside workouts for the mediocre weather, so you have a nice mixture all year round.
Two and a half days to go, finish them off strong!
no TG today again cos i’m getting has much good sun time on the bike.After all the lousy weather i’ve been out in since i’ve had the bike i’m making the most of it 🙂 14 miler today legs are like lead and on fire MAN!!!!!!!! 🙂 wish i could stay away from the nibbles and i’d be flying by now.thing is what you said a few post ago about taste’s changing mine have hell of a lot.Still don’t touch crisps wish i could stop nibbling on the biscuits!!!!!!!!! and eat regular.
focus on the positives happening cyril, and they are plenty happening with you. Good getting out every day, and your legs and recovery will adjust even more, your body can adapt to anything given time.
how many times a week with the biscuits are you snacking?
mostly at night not every night but 3/4.Mad cos i dont touch them in the day?just when i have tea in the night???
tea always encourages biscuits for a lot of people i know, try cutting out the tea at night, and may help you sleep better too?
just have to stop the tea then.Not a big lover of the stuff anyway 🙂
