Friday (196)

First up, the Christmas miracle - I lost one pound this week. Amazing given all the crap I ate. I did make it to the gym four times, which isn't bad going over the Xmas period (which sounds like something Mrs Claus used to have.)

I did 45 minutes on the treadmill today. It's all I had time for. This means I only lifted weights twice this week, but that's sometimes how things work out. Tomorrow begins week #4 of the overall plan, which is a heavy weights week - everything drops down to 4 sets of 8 reps (except abdominals.)

Here's what I ate:

That's a basic (but tasty) spaghetti bolognese dinner, in case you're wondering. Home-made and with lean mince it doesn't have to be such a nightmare.

And here's my nutritional breakdown for the week:

Not my finest of performances, but the end result worked out okay. This week I'll mostly be keeping it leaner, with the obvious blip on the horizon that is New Year's Eve.

Salut.
