Off to Iceland in a couple of weeks to film for Ross Edgley, who is currently trying to Swim 1000 miles around the whole coast... Somehow have to swim with a camera next to him for parts, so kicking the training into specifics. 5 Rounds of 500m Ski Erg, 10 double dumbbell clean + jerks, 500m Row, 20 Single Alternative Dumbbell Snatches. Steady state, keep the pace the same on all rounds (I held 2:00/500m ski, and 1:50/500m row for ex. Should take 30-40mins!

Monday's 3 reasons to smile -

1. After a lovely, chilled weekend with a good friend, I feel ready to take on life with a fresh attitude.

2. Finding joy in nature, including the changing seasons and weather.

3. Good food, no matter what restrictions I may need to work around.

I've decided to take a whole new attitude. A new focus.

All round health and well-being.

Starting first thing, with an hour walking. Cold and wet. Meh. Onwards anyway...

Breakfast of mixed seeds, apple, grapefruit, cacao powder and liquorice root.

Coffee with oat milk. I think I'm ok with that. And I think I need to step way back with my over-consumption of coconut in it's different forms.

Then a really good kettlebell workout. That has done me a lot of good!

After lunch settled, I got into my Nike Training programme.

It classifies this as "slow and steady", but it had a bit of cardio along the way.

Another excellent routine from a really great (and free) fitness app. Those are VERY rare!

Lovely food throughout my day, as always.

I feel good. Ready to take on this life with renewed energy!

Lovely morning with my pretty girl. We snuggled in bed after Matt went to work, then had a lovely long walk in the sunshine and she saw her friends on the field and had a good run around with them. Then on the way home we met a red lab puppy called Pebbles 🥹 dried her off at home and came out to work. I have a big old delivery today but it's kind of good, it'll keep me busy but it's manageable so I'm not stressing. All pretty heavy stuff too so it's a good workout today 💪
