Cold, wet and windy this morning, but managed to get out and do 6.14km.
I've always struggled with my diet. I'm lucky that I still seem to have a relatively good metabolism still and don't put on significant weight, despite historically having a pretty poor diet. I eat good meals and get plenty of fruit and veg in me, but I have always supplemented that with a lot of chocolate, crisps(chips) and alcohol. It never used to affect me, but in the last 4 or 5 years, whilst it won't be so bad that you can see my gut through clothes, I do start to carry a bit of a belly that becomes noticeable when I'm on the beach or in the pool.
So this year I'm determined to cut back on that at the same time as exercising regularly. As it's Lent, I've given up chocolate and crisps entirely, so I've had a full week without that, and I did say I was going to cut back on alcohol, which as of yet I've not done so well at. I need to do something, as the old adage goes, you can't out-train a bad diet.
