Getting back into a new routine

So for those of you I know IRL, you’ll know I’ve finally left the nest and living in the big smoke.  Living in the city has it’s perks – but also its dangers: friends so close we’re neighbours, having over 10 pubs within 500m radius and also work only la 10 minute walk away.

Which means all of a sudden, I’ve lost reading time on the train (up to 2 hours a day) and the closeness of having a box near by.

So right now I can feel the mental and physical stress my body is under. So from yesterday, I knuckled down and got my nutrition (lactose-Paleo) and training (Crossfit FootBall WODs) back into gear. I also begin BJJ tonight at the local boxing gym – which is also where I’m taking myself each morning for the WOD.

I never realized just how hard it was to get up everyday and train in solitude. Really hand it to anyone who does!
