Chris' No Regrets Holiday Setback...

I'm not sure anyone is looking at this blog anymore but I figure it can be a record of my own fitness attempts if nothing else.

So, after 3 months of training  and just under 2 months of a considered diet I finally made it to our holiday in Croatia - two weeks of eating what I want, drinking what I want and exercising infrequently (and none too hard). And boy did I. Some days were literally spent by the sea reading eating a two course breakfast, two course lunch and then a three course dinner - with alcohol throughout the day often. It was great!

The result? Devastating. I've regained just under 5% body fat (main culprits being 6cm at my waist and 4 cm around my arms). It's worth saying that this is despite a couple of (albiet short) runs, and 300 sit-ups and 100 press-ups on each of days 3-7 of the holiday.

The remedy? Hard training and a fast track back to the diet. PT session yesterday, hard gym session this morning, running club tomorrow, gym session Thurs and PT session Friday - then football on Sunday. All of this every week until 12 July - with my last blog's target still in mind. Well, that's the aim anyway. Let's see how things go.
