Today I hit the semi-magical 5%. I have now lost 5% of my starting weight on WW. Yay! I feel better for it - so much so that I'm finding many things, including swimming, a lot easier. I can walk faster, swim further and more of my clothes are baggy as. I'm closer to racing in that new 2XU tri suit.
This last week I have been really hungry. I haven't eaten terribly well because I didn't plan well. This will change this week. I've found a company that will deliver meat, fish, fruit, veg and fresh bread to my suburb on Saturday afternoons between 12 and 2pm, and they have snapper all scaled and boned and filleted! All I'll need then is dairy and pantry stuff. Awesome! Eating clean will now be a lot easier.
I also need to get a better handle on keeping the house organised and under control. I think it's high time I got a cleaner in for a couple of hours every fortnight to do the boring but necessary stuff like washing the floors and cleaning the shower. I have better things to do with my time than boring cleaning stuff.
Due to an appointment tomorrow night and having to work all day yesterday, I had to swap some sessions around. The DOMS earlier last week necessitated moving Thursday's gym & run to Friday. Saturday's swim & bike got moved to today. Monday's swim & bike and Tuesday's gym & run have been swapped, as have Wednesday's swim and Thursday's gym. Friday I will gym and run again, Saturday I'll swim and bike in the morning before going to the Level 1 Triathlon Technical Officials course in the afternoon, and Sunday I'll rest because I have to be up and away to Elwood for the practicum for the course at a tri from 6am. Then it will be back to normal from Monday 17th.
I swam for 30 mins nonstop today, which was just awesome. I threw in a few laps of breaststroke to give my arms a break, and finished with backstroke for the cool down. I've done half an hour on the wind trainer, and have done a fair bit of walking due to having to sort out the washing today. My plan for swimming is to do two endurance sessions and one technique session with my coach. Squads are just too hard to get to without a car and around here, so I'll be a Nigel no mates for a bit longer.
I need to go back to my endurance, tempo and pace bike sessions and with at least two hill sessions a week. I'll do the hills in the gym on the bike, because my WT sessions at home are more about saddle time (literally) than anything else. As far as my run goes, it's about covering the distance and then increasing the speed. It will come - but with 12 weeks left until Sydney it had better come faster!
One day weekends aren't great. When you don't have a car you have to spend ages getting anywhere, and I had a lot of stuff to do today - washing, swim training, groceries, fruit & veg, cleaning, tidying, pharmacy, get more swim bag toiletries, go to the newsagent to pickup magazines, eat lunch, eat dinner, cook dinner, make lunch for tomorrow, hang out washing, put away clean clothes, etc. No study done for a good few weeks now - need to get onto it this week.
Not enough sleep either, so on that note it's time for some shut eye.
