Tomorrow the gym is open again, after it's been closed for a week. I bet there'll be lots of people in there, wanting to exercise away the excess food. I've done pretty good damage control by working out elsewhere 2 times and trying to not let things go out of control. Yet.. too many carbs, especially on New Year's Eve.
Resolutions for 2007?
exercises
- making time for stability exercises like Bulgarians
- do more stretching & rehab exercises for back and shoulders
- decrease training volume but increase quality and intensity
cardio
- be consistent with cardio: do high intensity, but not overdo it = NOT do it every workout but only 2x/wk
- as of March (or Feb) lift weights only 3x/wk but do 1 extra cardio session, be it treadmill, Body Pump or perhaps even my old & beloved spinning class (if knee permits this)
- finally buy that Tacx bike set up for doing indoor cycling
- do a century (100K) again this year on my own bicycle (haven't cycleed >100K since late 2003 when I was doing brevets and PBP.
food
- dare to enjoy foods in moderation and savour every bite
- continue the eating pattern of low vs high calorie eating and even get into the real intermittent fasting (24hr fast, 24hr overfeeding, starting after the workout)
- not let myself suck into the dieting 'religions' but simply eat within my calorie allowances as well as avoiding allergy-causing foods (soy, dairy, gluten, molds on fruit/nuts)
