SUMMER BODY – WEEK 4

Eifle Tower

 

So the summer body fun is continuing.  It’s been a bit of strange week to be fair, for some reason at the start of the week I started to put on a little bit of weight. Not a huge amount, but, enough for me to wonder what was going on.

So after a chat with Julian from Titanium Fitness, we decided it was probably time to drop down by another 200 calories and we split it 50/50 through carbs and fats.

This made a small difference to my weight and it has again started to drop slowly but surely which is really good.

As for my training itself, I’ve changed nothing except for the fact I’m going heavier than I have done in a long time on most of my exercises, and, as an added bonus…….it’s not difficult. This eating more, and losing weight malarky, really does work.

We recently took delivery at our gym of a stair master which is fantastic fun….and a really steady state cardio machine which totally destroys me.  I’m not blowing through my rear end after a session on it, but, I am sweating like crazy and burn some real calories too.

Then, this weekend it was our first anniversary so the diet went completely out the window.  If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over time, it’s that, sometimes, you just need to have a little fun and forget about the diet. Just like with exercising, your body needs a rest from it all sometimes, not weeks and weeks worth of rest, but, a day or two won’t kill you.

We spent two fantastic days together in Paris, a first for us both.  We saw all the sights, we walked and walked, we ate and ate and when I stepped on the scales on Tuesday morning…….I’d lost more weight.  Now, that could have been the lack of food or the amount of walking we did. Either way, I’ll take it after the amount of pastries I’ve eaten in two days.

Anyway, it’s back on the game now and hitting it hard this week, but, before I go. I must say, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my wonderful wife.  If you follow me on youtube or other social medias you’ll know it’s been quite a 12 months since our wedding day, and I’m just grateful she’s put up with me for this long.

I love you,

Simon
