12 months later...
Hmm, it's been a while, 12 months in fact, since I last posted.
In that time a few things happened - I started working insane hours (on call 24/7, 80+ hours/week), my Dad died and my Mum got diagnosed with cancer. So, a busy, not so happy time.
For a lot of it I kept up some form of training - reverted to a simple spreadsheet to track my activity. For the last few months though, I've pretty well not exercised at all and my eating has gotten petty bad.
Work has finally settled down, and I'm about to go on leave before moving back to Canberra. Seems like as good a time as any to sort myself out. So, it's back on the horse, starting today.
The plan is to get my nutrition sorted over the next couple of weeks, and bring in mostly unstructured exercise to reacclimatise myself to training. We move back to Canberra at the end of this month, so there's not much point starting on a real routine until we get back.
Exercise
AM: None
PM: None
Food
Meal 1 (0830) : 3/4 cup (dry measure) porridge, handful of sultanas, scoop of when, green tea
Meal 2 (1000) : glass of milk
Meal 3 (1230) : 2 tortillas with cheese, avocado, mushrooms, tahini, baby spinach, mustard
Meal 4 (1430) : Shake (banana, ice, water, whey, 1/4 cup (dry measure) porridge)
Meal 5 (1700) : 2 soy sausages, mashed veggies (potato, sweet potato, broccoli, peas)
Meal 6 (1930) : lentil loaf, broccoli
Meal 7 (2200) : Dahl and rice small serve
And just to show how bad things have gotten:
Yikes! I have no muscle tone, a huge gut, no ass and stick legs!
I'm relatively happy with today's food. Meal 2 needs a bit of work obviously, but considering there was no prep and hardly anything in the house I think it went well.
