There's a great advert on TV here in Aussie for Oak chocolate milk. If it wasn't like 300 points a carton I'd drink it like it was going out of fashion. I get a bit like the guy in this ad when my blood sugar drops, and people at work know to tell me to go eat something. LOL.
You all know how fond I am of choccie milk after a race (in fact, I love it in general, but more so after a race), so here's the ad for your viewing pleasure.
I got to the pool tonight and was indeed hungry thirsty. After a quick stop at Coles for a 2l bottle of water and a low fat choccie milk, it was into the pool for the obligatory 750m. My arms are a little sore in strange places after last night's epic gym session, so I took it easy and did my warm up plus 6x100m splits, finishing with 3x50m sprints. Hopefully the DOMS in my abs and strange arm places settles overnight. I think it would have been a lot worse without the protein, carbs, radox and compression gear.
After losing 4.1kg in four weeks on WW, I'm feeling good. My awesome speedo bathers now fit beautifully, which is good. My favourite work pants now resemble something MC Hammer would dance in. Hopefully the four pairs of pants I bought during my first weekend in Melbourne will fit now...or sometime soon. It's a bit sad when you have to hold up your pants when running across the road to catch your bus! WW now finally have an Aussie iPhone app which is making life a lot easier. I can lookup stuff whenever I want, which came in handy on Monday when I was at Subway, trying to figure out what I could eat for 9 points. Epic.
I'm hoping for another few hundred grams off this week but we'll see. It's not so much the weight that I want to drop, but the cm. I'll have to take my measurements this weekend as I know my waist has shrunk. Fingers crossed my wettie will still fit for Sydney. It's nice that people are now noticing the drop, by rights I'm about 2kg off losing a dress size but heck knows what size I'll be now.
I'm looking forward to my first race of the season, weather pending, on Australia Day (Wednesday 26 January). What a great day for my first triathlon in Aussie! I suspect it will take around 1hr 20. I'm allowing a bit less time in the drink because of the wettie, but more time in transition due to having to get the wettie off. The bike is about 13km and it will be my first race in cleats since ages ago (LOL), and the run is 3km which should be fine. I'd like to do it in 1hr 15, but we'll see. If I could just get one of Julia from Creme's awesome awesome skinny lattes before the race, that would be fully sick.
Must stop blogging and get back to concentrating on the wind trainer before I drop my MacBook.
Night all.
