87.5

Well I have just made excuses until now, up 5kg from original target that I reached last spring.
I am back on track

USA

Well to start with the flight went down well, no rubbish airplane food. Some smoked salmon and a nice white wine perfect for the flight. Of course 10 days in new York city I am out all the time having fun, that's good for the diet!

Runner

This is a real sportsman, running in the airport, I am not there yet, this guy has been running up and down while we are sitting around drinking coffee!!

Who needs bread

Ah French bread....
I will need to cut down on this, but if I can actually start running as I did this morning, everything will be fine

Running

I had the authorisation from Mr Guimard to start running today! 2Km to start with, I walked the rest, everything seems to be ok.
The I do the gym exercise stepping down with a 10kg weight and stretching. The weight is near 88kg yikes

Lunch

This is the only way to go, start with a chateau Yquem Y 2000, then a cheval blanc red 2000 then a chateau Yquem 1988 for the cheese, not bad

Morning tea

Mariage Freres marco polo tea for breakfast in bordeaux
Today is an off day, good food beautiful countryside

Leg Repair

Now I have to get serious, I am back up to 86.5kg and am only walking 5 times a week and swimming 2 times a week. So my personal physiotherapist Yann Guimard is treating me 3 times a week stretching the leg muscles and I am exercising by stepping up to about chair hight with the left leg(good one) and stepping down with the right leg(the damaged one) this I am now doing holding a 10kg weight(this is everyday). Already I can tell it's getting better. I should be in perfect shape for skiing.

Sunday morning

The swimming pool is closed until the 10th Jan!!!! So I am out on my bicycle ride. I have seen my personal physiotherapist Yann Guimard who is treating me for my hamstring problem, 3-4 times a week, I also have exercise to do at home everyday and it's really getting better!
I should be back running by the end of the month.

Trouble

Well mr Steele says I have just been using lame excuses and not continuing in my quest, I need to be in much better shape and get back down to 84kg. I am 85.7kg now.
I am seeing my physiotherapist in 10 mins, hope he will sort me out

2nd

Yes already the 2nd Jan, I will have to see the doctor about my leg, I still cannot run, so it's the morning walk!!!! Swimming is closed until the 3 or 4 Jan

1st Jan 2011
