mickc1965 training log

I have been ill since last Friday but felt significantly better this morning so will resume training again at lunchtime today, had a few food binges as well need to break that cycle!!

Sleep is still pretty poor but I suppose that is to be expected given recent events

Speaking from recent experience the sleep does pick up after a while. I did however speak to the doctor who prescribed me some strong sleeping tablets, only to take on nights where I really couldn't sleep and they helped break the cycle of running things over in my mind all night and allowed me to get a good nights sleep. Might be worth considering given what you have gone through.

Thanks Chris,

Going to try and work through it as never been one to rely on doctor prescribed drugs, will see how it goes over the next few weeks and if no better after I return from a weeks holiday at the beginning of October then I will make an appointment.

Also the amount of caffeine I am consuming is probably not helping, seem to have gained an addiction to Pepsi Max!!

That sounds like a positive move!
You'll find your way and what works for you and your family. You're doing alright!

Thursday 06 September 2018

Average Weight - 166.0lbs / 75.296kgs - down 2.2lbs / 0.998kg

Average Weight was calculated over the last 7 days - 166.0 / 168.2 / 166.2 / 165.4 / 166.0 / 165.4 / 165.0 = 166.03

Average daily calorie intake based on last weeks body weight (168.2 lbs)

Not logging calories as had a couple of binges and didn't log it on MFP

Goal for upcoming week - Need to lose another couple of lbs to get back on track but as I am off for a weeks break with the lads in the beginning October I will aim to stick at a caloric intake of body weight x13 (2100 - 2150 kcals) between now and when I go away to try and have a half decent beach bod!! Thats if it is still warm enough for the beach on the Costa Blanca.
