Christmas has come and gone and for the week that was I unleashed the beast! I had all the best intentions of getting some exercise during the days I was down in Napier but during the drive down I wondered; “If I eat whatever I want and do little/no physical exercise, I wonder what the damage would be?”…and so I did! Sunday was filled with steak sandwiches that were washed down with cider, many filled chicken wraps (with salad) and a few handfuls of cold chocolate fish. For some strange reason, I much prefer my chocolate fish frozen now. Christmas Eve was the same with leftover wraps, cheese and crackers with poached pork and roast vegetables. Christmas gave me a full cooked breakfast and constant snacking on nibbles throughout the day and into the evening, multiple pieces of chocolate slice and my one true weakness…MALTESERS! And I didn’t feel guilty while gorging like a ravenous hippo because who cares if you put on weight during the festive season? Santa doesn’t have body issues and I am sure he would leave me a note if I left him celery and water under besides the fireplace (that or he would steal my cutlery and leave me with a baby on my doorstep), Tis the season to be jolly and jolly is what I was! 1.1kgs is nothing; worst case scenario is it takes me another 2 weeks to get back on track but I would rather put the effort in for 14 days so I could enjoy the time away with my family. I know my mother would be heart broken if I turned down all the freshly dug potatoes that went with the Boxing DayTurkey
I’ll be getting ready to see if Ice baths do help with weight loss and muscle repair as I’ve decided to take boxing/MMA classes as well as going to the gym WHILE DOING BJJ AND WALKING/RUNNING THE DOG! I know I said that this experiment was a few small changes but the one thing I have grown to appreciate is the physicality and rush that you get after a hard workout or long run. The endorphins that pump through you make you feel amazing and it is good for your inner chimp to get out of the cage before it starts rattling it and causing some problems. Tire the chimp and you are a better person to be around. So, I’ll most likely record my first Ice Bath and explain the science around it and also now try to add a bit of muscle to my frame. So, kettlebells will be getting heavier and lunges will be getting longer but this is all part of the fun! “I am the Dragon and you’re privy to a great becoming…”,
