Going Cold Turkey
It’s amazing how quickly you get out of shape.
One of the side-effects of me not running for a while was that I noticeably put weight back on. Thinking back over the 19 days (19!) I wasn’t running, the amount of rubbish I ate was quite bad. So starting…now…I’m kicking off an experiment.
This isn’t a diet – I don’t want to lose weight per se, just get into shape – it’s a change of direction. For the next seven days I’m only going to:
Drink water or fruit juice – no tea or fizzy drinks Eat no sweets, crisps or biscuits Eat at least five portions a day Eat breakfast everyday (it’s amazing how easy this is to skip) Eat lunch everyday (yes, I do often skip lunch) Have no takeaways
We’ll see how I do…
