Notes
Capped off a “bad food and drink” weekend with a fast food brekkie and family dinner.
I think it reads far worse than it actually was – I drank plenty of water, kept reasonably active and felt 100% going into the gym session. Even the aches and pains from Body Pump have been mostly restricted to the triceps.
Overall I think I managed to exercise a reasonable degree of self control on both evenings, certainly eating and drinking far less than I might have a few months ago.
Important to note – that did NOT detract from my enjoyment of things. In fact it enabled me to enjoy both evenings without the usual feeling of over-indulgence and being badly hungover…
Gym session was good – increased weights with a few exercises.
