Pete is getting back into things now, he is fitter, happier and more productive.

Phew, good workout just had, no great.  Finding it hard to run, funny.  I was smashing out 30 minute runs before Christmas and now I find 10 minutes wipes me out.  My eyes are still sore and itchy and I still feel sick a lot of the time, I guess I need to work back up slowly.

Pow!

Time to get back on the diet, I only put 4lbs on over Christmas, despite being ill twice.  I count this as some small victory, in fact I think the break from constant dieting has refreshed my appetite (see what I did there?) for more!

The gym is opening today too, so I’ll be back in there, it’s back and biceps today, I love back and biceps day.  Looking forward to catching up with Joe and hearing about his Christmas and New Year.

Orcs Must Die is my favourite game right now, I’m having a few days away from Star Wars as I’ve lost access to my computer room as relatives are over.  I’ve been enjoying it but I don’t want to get burned out on it as I do with some other MMO’s.

Bai.

License to ill.  

Not gymmed or dieted for a week.  

Bleurgh.  

PC keeps crashing.  

Bleurgh.  

I have cheerios and tea.  

YAY!  

I will get better and fix my PC.  

..Since I began training at the local gym.  It’s only 19 quid a month, there are no frills, just the essentials.  To celebrate my quarterversary (?) I ran five kilometres.  If someone had told me I’d enjoy jogging four months ago I would have laughed or something.  

I’m finding it difficult to stick to a healthy diet, but I’ll get there - I’m giving myself ten days at Christmas to eat whatever I want, the gym is shut for ten days so I guess I’ll have a holiday!

In other news, I’ve been playing a ton of Skyrim lately, as well as Battlefield 3.  Both games are holding my attention well, while I wait for STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC.  I can’t actually say those words, they have to be shouted.  I’m looking forward to it like it’s Christmas, which it is, so that’s ok.  I like to be seasonal.

Just finished eating me lunch, had a difficult workout at the gym, I felt sick and faint for a lot of it, I guess I underestimate the effects of a stinking cold on my body.

I got told off by one of the trainers (in a fun way) for using totally the wrong trainers for running, so I am off to get measured up in a running shop - no wonder my knees ache all the time….

I’ve also been asked to provide my food diary for her so she can see what I am doing to myself, by all accounts it’s not all that healthy to force yourself to live on fruit from 9-5….  (although it has worked, I mean, I have lost weight!)

Perhaps this is just the thing I need to get out of the eating rut I’ve fallen into this past fortnight.  I already feel optimistic about it, that’s something.  Health and fitness begins in the brain!  

Just had an amazing turkey breast steak with pepper and garlic, a small baked potato and a massive pile of broccoli.  I feel pretty good, if a little sore!  To the running shop!
