February is now over and done with, the month kind of just flew by really. As mentioned in this post I had set myself a challenge with my trainer to keep myself within 1 pound either side of 175lb and take 2 days off training for the month. Well now that the month is over I can let you know how i went….

FAIL!

Yeah that’s right.  I failed.  But in a kind of good way.  I started off the month at 172.3lb.  I went up & down (left & right?) throughout the month, not even remotely close to 175 at all and ended up finishing off the month this morning dead on 170lb.  That’s right, I ended up overall losing 2.3lb.  A good 5lb off my target wait…. Fail 1.

Then look at the 2nd part of my challenge, to take 2 days off training.  Nope failed there as well.  I only took 1 day off.  Sure if you went through my Garmin records you would see gaps but that was either due to the fact I had watch failure (like yesterday) or it was pelting down rain and I had to go indoors for a run in the gym or I took it easy on my legs and used the exercise bike.  Either way I only had 1 day off the entire month and even then I am not sure if I should count it as there sure was a bit of running involved that day. So my attempt to take 2 days off was a fail.

So overall the challenge was an utter failure but I guess in a good way.  I still kept my weight in check, I still kept my running up, but you know what. Good news is as a small reward with a whole weekend of travel ahead of me, I am taking tomorrow off…  Stuff it 😉
