8 weeks post op - diet update and some ramblings.......

so after 3 weeks back to work, normality and a high protein low carb diet - im pleased to report ive dropped 9 lbs :) - which has been tough as i really cant do much exercise in its strictest sense - if i could have approached this and combined it with some high intensity cardio intervals etc i would have dropped double - so this week i will go back to a more normal diet split 30% protein 50% carbs and 20% fat aiming for around 1800 kcals a day cycling lower and higher kcal days - aiming to drop another 1-2lb a week and slowly add in more work on the turbo trainer and keep on walking and rehabing!

Saturday was a bit of a waste again this week as the plumber was in and around for a few hrs again and i didnt get out for much of a walk and had little if any time to do the rehab work
soooooo...... made up for it on Sunday - doubled up the rehab work and walked 3.5 miles in 1 chunk in the worst weather this year which resulted in me averaging 18 min/mile (usually around 20 min/mile) and walked again in the evening - the result? WELL my right bum cheek and groin and inner thigh are all very tender - i have no worries about this it is all muscular but it just shows that even increasing pace whilst walking can work ones muscles a whole lot harder!

today i rehabbed and walked twice - nothing too strenuous just to loosen the legs followed by a 10 min session on the turbo trainer - 4 min warm up then up to 5th/min 4th/min 3rd/min 2nd/min 1st/2 min - this was testing my legs knew id done it and i actually broke a sweat - it felt awesome!!

thats me sng
