Haven't had enough sleep this week and felt it this morning. Anyway only one more workout before a rest :D
 
I've had a good break over Christmas. I've run 3 times over the past week or so with the aim to try and and reduce the damage done by the amount of food and alcohol I've consumed :D.

The focus for 2019 is my diet. This was my goal for 2018 but I failed miserably.

My goals for 2019 are:

Get down to 170 lb by summer. The closest I got previously was 171.5 lbs.
Run a 10k (non-stop).

By fixing my diet, both should be easily achievable. I'm gong to start with my old PPL split of 6 days per week with 3 cardio sessions added. I may reduce this to 5 days per week dependant on how I'm recovering. I'm looking forward to leg day on Friday. I haven't trained my legs since September due to an injury.

Saturday

Cardio - 30 mins incline treadmill walking - 300 kcals

I'm increasing my calories as I think I was too aggressive with the deficit. I'm increasing my kcals to 2,400 per day (300 increase).
