5 weeks to go.
Started this morning doing my intervals on the beach at Brighton. The wind was fierce so reaching the heart-rate goals JD set was easy. It was nice to have a change of scenery from the local block or treadmill. Afterwards we went for breakfast at a cafe on Jetty Rd, as we do every saturday morning. I’ve been eating breaky before we go out so that I get in exactly what JD prescribes but this week I hadn’t done my cardio so I packed a scoop of whey into my shaker and left the rest up to the cafe gods. I ordered a double serve of spinach and 2 poached eggs. I was counting on the eggs to be their usual non-runny mediocre selves but they were quite soft which meant it was tricky to do 1 whole, 1 white. They were really great and didn’t put any butter on my spinach and mixed heaps of tasty parsley through instead for flavour. WINNER!
Got home and got S to do skinfolds measurements for me. Compared with the skinfolds and measurements Joe did for me at the begining of the month I’m a little unsure about the accuracy of the skinfolds as they are LOW (I got a few 1’s and 2’s) so I’ll have to wait until JD sends me instructions to do the measurements his way. Tape measurements are all down too, some areas I’ve dropped 3-4cm, no wonder everything’s not fitting right even though the scales haven’t moved in weeks. WINNER!
I’ve discovered that skate makes for a tasty alternative to chicken when cooked as fajita filling with onions, coriander and cumin and mixed with spring onions (scallions) and coriander leaves (cilantro). Shame I don’t get to eat either rice, beans or tortillas on my current diet. It was nice with salsa, salad and avocado though. Who’d though stingray would taste good!? WINNER
It was Super Saturday at Aussie Muscle so I scored all my supps at 10% discount, plus a good deal on Gen-Tec Glutamine Creatine combo. Plus compliments from the lovely Sean on my shoulders, arms and traps. Like everyone else says, "You’ll do awesome…. if you can lean-out in time" (That phrase is doing my head in!!!!) WINNER-I think?
I took more progress photos this week too. They really highlight the crappiness of my posing, my non-existant boobs and my shrinking legs and butt. I’m not sure whether I’m going to keep uploading photos. I might just post them all retrospectively after the comp.
I’m feeling a bit fluey today so I’m glad I got some new glutamine. Oooh it’s 5 O’clock time for a lemon, poppyseed and zucchini muffin(ish) and my fish caps. Recipe tomorrow.
