While I'm away, I'm going to wear my HRM while skiing to see what the burn is like, but there's no food logging (data roaming charges are just silly) and no daily checks and balances so let's see what the state of affairs is when I've been off-piste, so to speak, for a week!  I won't be posting, but expect photos etc. when I get back.

And today (a bit of a guesstimate, given dinner out):-

B - greek yogurt with 1 scoop, blueberries and flaked almonds
S - banana
L - Chicken and Egg Noodle soup from EAT
S - cherry tomatoes and a latte
S - tangerines and beef jerky
D - out at an Italian down the road (probably beef carpaccio, followed by monkfish with pureed white beans and fresh veg and some wine)

The last 6 months

...since I bought my heart rate monitor, I've racked up 102 hours of recorded exercise (there were a few sessions that weren't recorded, but that's just tough). That's 3 hours 55 minutes average per week. And there's 56.5K kcals (56.5 million calories!) recorded too (the odd session recorded with time but not kcals burned, but again that's just tough). That's an average of 2,200 kcals burned per week.

I'm pretty pleased with that.

I'm more pleased with the results of taking on weight training as the major part of my weekly exercise as that's had more palpable results; shape change and body fat % drop. Of course, the festive season set me back a little, but I'm almost back on track and ready for a routine change which always shakes things up a bit. Targets set, locked and loaded. Here's to the next 6 months!

Little run up...

...to get me back into the hang of doing this posting food & exercise lark. Tomorrow is the start of sorting out the macro ratios, there's not enough brain-cells to make all of the changes at once today.

B - Cheerios with semi-skimmed milk
L - Roasted tomato soup with creme fraiche, topped with toasted flaked almonds
S - Fruit and nut mix
S - A huge pear
S - 2x oat cakes
D - Beef chilli with mashed sweet potato, carrot and a bit of potato.

Weekly round up

Numbers numbers numbers... I'm starting to wonder what happens when my total exercise time goes over 99:59:59 as there aren't any more digits on the watch to display 3 digit hours. 80 hours in 5 months so I should find out some time in January.
