Working from home days are usually the worst for laziness and poor eating. As it was the teenager’s birthday today, I knew cake would be involved at some point and that was the incentive to get me out of bed at 5.00am!

Nearly 12 miles covered with the cycling but that obviously doesn’t add any steps so after work was a long dog walk around the lake again, along the river for a change of scenery.

The evenings are definitely starting to stretch out a little and I’m looking forward to when the warmer sunshine makes an appearance! I’ve noticed the mornings becoming a little lighter too and the daffodils are just starting to poke through by the lake.

I’ve been hitting my water intake target every day since I started, filling up on about 2.5 litres of dilute juice every day and have, so far, manged to keep up with the plan challenge doing both extended arms arms on elbows. Today was up to 50 seconds so that was mind over matter to push through on tired arms from climbing last night. My legs are also screaming a little too so tomorrow will be an active rest day with just the plan to hit steps goal and calorie deficit. Today wasn’t a great day for food intake but I’m reminding myself that I promised no deprivation and, as long as it’s tracked, I can’t have it if I want it.
