Day 54 : "Distracted by Christmas"

Well, after 54 days of my challenge, with just 2 to go, I almost forgot for the first time to write a blog entry!  Hence this one not being posted until almost 11pm.

I came in from the gym, ate lots of fish, had a shower and then read my two youngest sons a bedtime story.  Then I came downstairs, at which point I would normally write my blog.  But my wife had got the Christmas decorations out of the garage, so overcome with festive excitement I've been putting the tree and decorations up... and suddenly, thankfully, just remembered I have to write... I'd have been distraught if I'd woken up tomorrow morning realising I'd broken my chain of daily posting so close to the end!

Thankfully, I haven't forgotten about any of other aspects of my challenge today.  I've eaten purely healthy food - despite Friday treats floating around the office I was working from today - and made it to the gym for my 54th workout in as many days.  Back, stomach and 30 minutes on the cross trainer. I didn't manage to get fully into my Terminator mode tonight, but it wasn't as lame a half hour as Wednesday evening.  I put it down to the fact that I was there relatively early, but the back is quite a large muscle group so I was pretty fatigued after working those bad boys.

My diet today has consisted of:

- Breakfast:  A banana (no fish in the house!);
- Lunch:  A mackerel salad;
- Dinner:  A tin of mackerel, a tin of tuna, two pickled eggs, a beetroot and an apple.  Yes, yes, I'd been fish shopping.

Only two days to go.  Eek!
