Bike to Work Wednesday

After our long weekend of indulgence, it was meant to be back on the wagon yesterday for a double workout and a clean eating for the newly dubbed Keep it Tight Tuesday! The aim is to have 100% on target nutrition, smashing your workout, drink plenty of water and also getting an early night. Monday night was a reasonably early night (in bed at 9:30, asleep by 10pm) and up at 6:45am to head off to work. 

Then things started to go awry... We had an issue at work that took a lot of my time and I ended up not leaving work until 6pm and missing both classes at the gym. I also didnt have enough protein at lunch so by the time I got home from work I was starving! One saving grace was that my husband and I headed out for a 40 minute brisk walk while our zucchini slice was cooking so we were able to at least get some movement going.

This morning was a whole other story! I was up at 6:30am to jump on my bike after 2 months of not riding. It turns out a ride to work when your pedal breaks and you get a flat tyre equals a scarred impression of cycling for quite some time. 696 calories later and I made it to work in a record 58 minutes according to Strava. That was 5 minutes faster than my previous best and I cracked out 9 Personal records!
