The rest of the story:
As you might be aware, I have loads of things planned for the summer including a two week escape to Cape Verde and a string of Summer Festivals around the UK, not to mention the beach time and BBQ’s all lined up, a possible trip to Norway and a long weekend at a Lancashire Lake House.
Getting into the best shape of my life was never going to be an easy task, but I put the challenge up there. I’ve got a pretty amazing precedent of low body fat percentages and PB’s to smash, but I’m not discouraged, only even more determined to give it that 100% effort it deserves.
But as much as I truly love being active and working up a sweat, there needs to be equally as much, if not more emphasis on nutrition. For the next 7 days I’m keeping a personal food & mood diary to identify where even more improvements can be made.
