Losing it[1]

Hmmmmmm. Slightly heavier this morning at 207.4 pounds (14 stone 11.4 pounds, 94.1kg). Still a pound less than this time last week, though.

Did my fourth successive night of exercise. Much the same as yesterday, but I managed 15 minutes on the rower, which is good. Should get that back up to 20 minutes fairly soon.

This was one of those sessions where no matter how hard I worked, my heart rate didn’t rise all that much - the peak was 138.

Having done four days, I should now be taking at least two nights off, so as not to overdo it, which is where I think I went wrong last year.

There’s something about returning to work after the Christmas/New Year break that’s more depressing than going back after other holidays.

Part of it is suddenly having to start getting out of bed when it’s still dark, after nearly two weeks of quite sensibly staying in bed until it’s light enough to see my way to the Gaggia. Then there’s the knowledge that what with one thing and another, the next chance for more than one or two days off will be Easter, and that’s nearly three months away. And then there’s the weather. This morning, I am being treated to high winds and lots of rain, so I’ll probably have to get the bus to work, which I do prefer to avoid.

Still, it has to be done. At least it’s only a four day week….
