well i havent made it one here for a couple of weeks. my last post was just after getting tomy 5% mark, we have since gained a kilo, but well start with a comentry of that week. after being sick the week before i thought id have a rest week and only train once a day, 10th i was ment to have bats but it rained so instead i span in the shed. wednesday i had masters swimming. swam 1900m was good to be back at masters having a set programme not just going round and round the pond. thursday ws my birthday so i went on a 7k run knowing food wouldnt be my friend, i have started taking a friends dog wich help keep ur pace up ive discovered. friday was off as usual. as was saturday as i decided to go shopping with my birthday money (as u do) sunday we went to the races to watch my inlawa horse race. lots of walking about in high heels but lots of crappy food too. so then comes mondays weigh in and as expected i gained a kilo. i was dissapointed with myself but i know it would happen and was prepared. this week is a 2 session a day week. monday i ran 7k then swam that night at masters. 1700 i think. tuesday i ran 7k in the morning and span 46mins at night. wednesday i ran just over 9ks then had masters at night 1700 again. thursday i went for an hours walk as my shins are sore and im paranoid about shin splints as im prone to them. heres when we go downhill again, after carefully planning food and training for the week my dick of a neighbour puts a spanner in it all and comes over to MY house to try hit on me making me feel really pissed off, nervous, scared, and completely stupid for inviting him for a coffee (we were friends at school, he is now married and i am engaged) so i dont end up training that night feeling like crap. friday i work from a friends not wanting to be home alone, so we have chicken and ships for lunch, i walk home (not far at all) partner is still in wellington getting a dog so he brings me cheeseburger and chicken nuggets for tea (oh god this isnt going well) then saturday i have a good lunch i think but when working out points its 9 points (eek) then we go housework and yardwork and training goes out the window, to my parents for tea and that goes ok except i cant help have some more potato salad and another chop. then they bring out a cheesecake!!! so today im on damege control. a 13k run (about 90mins) and a 30 min swim limited diet for the day will leave me saving 17 points. hopefully i dont put on, im not hoping for a loss but to not gain would be good. so thats my last 2 weeks, lets hope the next 2 work out better

well this week has had its ups and downs. it starts with last tuesday. went for a 5k run in the morning. that went well, then bats that night was really good. i stayed with the lead palaton almost the whole ride (a big achievment for me) then just before the worst hill on course i took my turn at lead except the git to rotate nest didnt so i was left to drag the pack for way too long and was dropped at the hill. ended up coming 13th time wise was a good ride but the fact i was dropped like that was gutting. i need to do hill work. tonight my mission is todo just as well if not better. then wednesday morning went out for a 5k run got home and felt sick, this feeling got worse through the day till at 2 i finally gave in and got the kids picked up early. spent thursday relaxing too, wasnt physically sick just felt aweful. friday was fine again but kept it as my off day to make sure i was right and just painted our room. saturday went for a 30k hilly ride very hot but good tho. sunday i did nothing (oops) just got our rooms organised and all the furniature moved back in. yesterday swam 20 mins and walked 1.5 hours. HAD WEIGH IN AND HAVE FINALLYV MET 5% LOST 1.8KGS about blimen time!!! today is bats again tonight. having an easy training week just one session a day this week as sort of recovery. back to 2 times next week. well thats it for now!!!
