So its been a pretty bad week

So it's been a pretty bad week on the PCP.

Managed to injure a knee skipping - don't know how. Wasn't really pushing it - trying a few new moves.
It was bad news. The leg is injured. I was travelling in China limping around.

And then the diet went out of the window. I had some large dinners with clients. Twelve course Chinese banquets. Then tubs of ice cream, pizzas - the lot.

And then I started drinking.

Had a good email chat with Patrick who gave me some decent practical advice:

• Don't beat yourself up too much about it - just make the right choices from now on.
• Take care of the knee - listen to your body. Work on building the muscles up again slowly.
• Swim for cardio.
• If you cant do any cardio (I'm travelling again next week) take out 70 grams of carbohydrates per day from the diet.
• No reason not to do the strength training plus 8 minutes abs.

It's interesting how I can feel the fat coming back around my waist!
But I have decided to be in cotrol of my own body.

I'm back on the diet and the training.

The knee is getting much better fast - no more limping. Although I'm not doing any leg exercises yet - I'll introduce them again this week - very gently. I'll try some walking and swimming for cardio.

I'm back from China so I can blog again - no blogging on the mainland due to the censorship laws.

I'll blog after my training every day - hassle me if I don't.
