Well normally, after a week off (like now) and intermittent training (like over Xmas) I feel really fat.

I then get paranoid and that then makes me set a target. Like from tomorrow I'm training everyday till my birthday in March.

Once I've set the target my stubbornness does the rest!

Interestingly our running machine broke last week, which gave me an excuse to not train. I then talked myself out of spending hundreds on a new one just after Xmas. But in a quiet moment of reflection I thought... if I get fat again??? no way, I deserve to have a running machine to look after myself. I ordered it within the hour.

So I guess fear motivates really! Belly's gonna get me!

Time wise, revert to my blog on the matter http://mcdonaldtaf.blogspot.com there is a post called how I lost 5 stone.
