Detox the beginning

Feel in the need of a bit of a health kick as I feel I've been eating too much of the wrong kinds of food - the processed sugary type - and drinking too much alcohol - I have a soft spot for good beer and wine! But this is a very important training/transition period and to get the most out of it I need to fuel my body with the right things. So kick starting a healthy eating diet today. Got a rough plan laid out for a week and just done my shopping consisting of plenty of fruit and veg. I actually prefer eating healthy and feel much better when I do, but sometimes the convenience factor leads me astray. Therefore gonna make sure I'm well prepared for the week ahead. After all, what else are Sundays for?! Also hoping my back strain will have magically disappeared by 2 morrow, hmmmmm

Run out at the Olympic test event

Fought at the ExCel centre yesterday in the test event for the judo. Although the main aim is to trial the ins and outs of the procedures/inner workings of how the day will run it was a good experience for me - fighting in front of a home crowd and on the kind of staging that will be used on the day. I lost to the Brazillian in my 2nd fight but won 3 others to take the bronze. Now starts a hard block of volume training - no more comps till the new year. Well, I might get in a bit a Yule tide festivities, plus dare I say it, the big 3 0 is coming!
