Notes

Another great session at the gym today, though it has left me with very tired legs lol. Pushed the rowing and jog/walk times downwards, and the cherry on top was a 500m row in 1m 30s. That’s possibly a Walkabout Wellness leaderboard time – awaiting confirmation at the time of writing!

Crap day diet-wise – the main issues are disruptions to my routine, not making sure I have a mid-morning and mid-arvo snack, and giving into temptation. Overall things are heading in the right direction, just have to watch for bad habits creeping back in and good habits sliding  a little.

While the change to my work schedule has been disruptive* the fact is I need to handle that better.
