MPC 2017

To build on the success of 2016, I decided to renew the programme and have signed up for 2017!

I am still deciding on my specific goals, but generally want to continue to lose some weight and get fitter.

The workout schedule has changed - there are now four workout sessions per week, plus two ARD (active recovery days) and one rest day. I did Month 1, Week 1, Day 1 (M1W1D1) yesterday. It seemed harder than the first session of MPC2016 but I am sure it is just because I have been out of training for a month or so.  The workouts have introduced new exercises as well as keeping old favorites, and after yesterdays lunge session my thighs are feeling quite sore.  Tonight I am going to the gym to complete the first cardio session.

I went for my first run of the new year yesterday, which was more of a walk as my fitness is still recovering from a bad cold I had before Christmas, but I managed to complete 5.5km in an hour. Today I went for a walk in the country for about an hour, wrapped up warm against the cold. 

I have also determined to stick to the food plan a bit more. I have already been shopping and the cupboards are full of healthy things so I have no excuse!  I made a delicious feta, grape and couscous salad for lunch, and tonight I am doing veggie sausages with lots of vegetables.
