Right then!

So it has been quite a while!  I've been drinking and eating way too much & it's not doing me any good (however enjoyable! :)

I have perhaps somewhat foolishly decided to do Tough Mudder in July, which means I have 4 months in which to get as fit as I possibly can.  http://toughmudder.co.uk
It looks bonkers, a lot of fun, & James has said he'll do it with me (not that he needs to train as such!!).  It'll be good to have a proper goal to aim for.  There's also a shorter obstacle course in April, but I rather doubt I'd be in any way fit enough by then - we'll see!

So, month 1 I think I will try Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred (which is only a fiver on Amazon), with a run or 2 thrown in on the weekends.  I don't want to injure myself going too hard too fast, so the first month will be getting back into it slowly.  As for diet, I'm thinking 5:2, with 1500 cal on non-fast days, no caffeine, & wine 2 nights a month.  This should be both healthy and sustainable.

Second month and onwards, if I can afford it I hope to do 2 powerplate classes a week, & the fitness classes run on Hill Rise Park twice a week.

So,  until payday, we're getting through the last of the unhealthy food & it starts in earnest the following week!
