Ok, so it's been a few days since my last post. As you can probably tell from my title I have been a little busy.
Rome - Cousins wedding.
Madrid - Work
Chester - Friends wedding
As you can imagine to keep up the routine has been a little difficult but I have managed to drag my arse to the gym in the transitional periods and do everything that I have been doing before. My only problem was the diet.
I think a cholesterol test may be required, genuinely, not kidding.
Rome I ate ok - if not Carb heavy - well you are in Italy and to avoid carbs is like avoiding the bubonic plague in the 16th Century, fun but very very hard! Pizza, pasta, risotto, bread etc. I avoided snacking which was fine, but water is sometimes the most insufficient way to re-coup. The wedding by the way was brilliant - congratulations Fabio and Marta!
The transition between Rome and Madrid gave me 13 hours in the UK. So I got one workout completed, and a game of footy in just to help with the weekend's excesses.
Madrid diet wasn't that carb rich, but there were occasions where the patatas bravas were just given to you as a snack! The food in general whilst nice, was greasy! Add to that beer which was strong enough to kill a flock of mosquitos in their tracks and wine suitable for dressing salads you could start to feel a little groggy after a few days.
Then there was my friends wedding (congrats Debbie and Lalou) well yes, I went to the gym before going to the wedding, which whilst refreshing after a heavy week of poor diet was catching up at the point of dancing to Mr Brightside! I do indeed have the knees of a 70 year old man!
So here's to my remaining two weeks of blogging on HIT and results to follow.
Peace
G
