Day #7

The ups and downs of sugar detox is so unbelievably scary. I never knew how much this stuff affected my moods, my energy and my SLEEP! I am so high at night from energy, I am wired but then I sleep (eventually) and I wake up like I have crude oil for blood in my system. Sluggish, like a snail without a shell.

Irritability, highs and lows, intermittent 'fog-head' mixed with bursts of euphoria and creativity is what I am experiencing. I am so over sugar. It can sod off for ever. 

Day 7 of the training plan, doing good, getting to grips with the slant board and falling off the Fitball less now I am not looking round to see what my position is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-A5j0IawWA this is a link to one of my days on the foot/leg strengthening days.....

All is good. I am not at work over the holiday period but I am wondering how to fit it all in when I got back to working 13 hour shifts.......where there's a will....there's a way. 

1 hour walk with the dogs today, taking it easy on a no strength training day.

Thanks, Eric......I am really enjoying this.

  • I know the shift work Gary! No doubt, it will be VERY tough at times, but we'll worth it and you will inspire those around you.
  • Great form, esp on knee drive keeping stance leg locked.  On the lunge, work to get the non-lunge ball leg straighter as you lunge, with less weight on the ball.  So 90-95% of your weight is on the front lunging leg.

    Thanks for the GREAT posts, keep it going so WE can keep YOU going when you head back to work.
