I’ve just got back from a brilliant day at Comic Con Manchester, something I’ll go into more detail in over the next week.
At the start of the month I explained I was going to attempt to get down to 72kg and beat a few gym PBs before the convention.
Well, I failed. I was 76.5 yesterday. TBF I was 77.9 at the start. TBH I was just not disciplined enough: yes, I ate a certain amount of soup, followed some recipes etc., but I didn’t totally cut out bread. I ate a couple of massive rocky roads. There are a lot of family birthdays around this time so I’ve had a lot of restaurant meals. So, not everything was healthy.
During this time, though, I worked on cardio and body weight exercises. I added 1 more onto my extra-wide chin-up record. With this one I have my hands about a metre apart, palms facing each other. There isn’t much range of movement but it really targets the trapezium in the middle of the back. I also added 1 more onto my wide grip chin-up, where the bar slopes down at an angle. A lot of my workouts were classes, so not actually in the gym itself. Routinely I’d do 2 gym sessions and 4 classes. I’d also do at least 1 5km run.
It all comes down to food. To resisting temptation. At this, I didn’t. I’ll try again another time.
