hello again...
well i never rode on sunday. went for a walk around the lake instead. no water in there at all so duck shooting opening weekend is looking pretty dismal at the moment. went to my mums for lunch had chicken and coleslaw rolls then tea was salmon, rice and vegies so a pretty healthy day. yesterday wasnt too bad. cereal for breakfast, omlet with leftover salmon and vegies for lunch, steak wraps for tea. a couple of homemade banana muffins and some chips for snacks (ok so they werent the best decision.) had swimming last night swam 1600mtrs.this morning was cereal for breakfast, a banana muffin and marshmallow egg for morning tea. 2 steak wraps for lunch and 6 small piklets for afternoon tea. home made sweet and sour pork planned for tea. have a 45min spin class for tonight and will walk there - about 20 mins. had a skin fold test done today. my fat % is 30 which is suprisingly in the healthy range max being 33%. my hip to waist ratio is .80 which is right on the borderline of being healthy. waist measurement is 85 being 5cm above ideal, bmi is 27, 2 over healthy and weight this morning 70.5, 6.5 over healthy. will be doing the same test in 6-8 weeks so will record differences then. im more looking and fat% than weight as it shows the difference between muscle mass and fat mass. weight may not move but as long as this decreases ill be happy. also aiming to reduce waist measurement to below 80 being the healthy measure. well thats it fortoday!!!!! c u 2morro

well here we are again... friday was pretty good. ate well. had a couple of treats but nothing major. had a good sleep the night before so that helped too i think. mowed the lawns and did some gardening. saturday was good too. went to a friends to help set up for her new baby, lots of moving furniature and decorating lots of fun. bit of a naughty night tho. went to the stockcars so lots of chippies and lollies and chicken and chips 4 tea... nevermind. today ive got out salmon for tea yum yum. and am going to go out for a ride later. im planning about 2 hours give or take. weighd yesterday morning 69.5kg. aim for today is to drink lots of water and eat more fruit. well thats it, back tomorrow

im back

ok so its been over a month since i last checked in but im back. ive been plagued with shin splints and therefor not had any motivation what so ever. in fact today is lowest of low. ive done nothing but eat! i am very tired though (thats not an exuse but its not exactly helping) have got out steak and heaps of vegies for tea tho. im not saying tomorrow is another day... this afternoon is another afternoon! and ill do spinning tonight then have an early night. also ive left weight watchers. i wasnt sticking to it and was still loosing weight so im going to use this and a free exercise tracking site as my tools now and save some $$ for half ironman in the process. ill be using this daily now, have even made it my homepage to encourage me, weekends i may miss tho dont tend to get to the comp over them. so thats it for today! c u tomorrow!!!!!
