One reason to hate being healthy

Ok, i just got back from supermarket and i must admit i really wanted to go down the biscuit aisle and just rip open a pack of Tim Tams.

But really one of the annoying things about eating healthy is it actually costs a whole lot more money, not just a little bit a heap!!!!!.  i am starting to see results, but honestly if i hadn’t seen any results already i ould just of easily gone and got myself a large big mac meal and probably some KFC.

Ok so im really having a crave. about to cook now, so everything should be good in my stomach soon.  Big training ride in the morning including some time trial like effort.  Hope the weather is nicer than it was this morning.. we’ll see.

Cool down

The weather is a bit cooler today, and last night was defiantly cooler to sleep.
Today is my rest day, i dont need to ride or swim, just concentrate on my diet. unfortunately tomorrow it will be heating up again. Also tomorrows training involves a 3 hour ride, so i think i will be getting up early.  I might also go down and watch the Footscray Cycling club Criterium in the morning. All sound like a good plan.  Will be getting some ice tonight to drop into my water bottles for tomorrows ride.  Actually 3 hours will be my longest ever ride. Im a bit apprehensive, but at the same time looking forward to it.  Should be good i hope.. defiantly going to make sure i get a good nights sleep.

Time to make a green tea :(

Still hot, but today got sweaty

Today was 35 degrees again. Still hot, so i got up early to ride this morning. I was on the road by 625am and was riding as the sun broke the horizon. Awesome morning, wonderful temperature and a great ride.  But the time i got back i had worked up a pretty good sweat! Tomorrow will be a 2 hour ride before work, so im sure that will test me.

Also went to the beach after work. I really wish i had ridden there! by the time i arrived there was a gental sea breeze blowing, but the water was not to cold – very refreshing. 
The only problem was it was full of jelly fish.  Im not a fan!

I ate really well today, tried to drink plenty of water and even managed a glass of green tea! yuk!

Green Tea part 2

Well today in the morning i traded my coffee for green tea.
It Still tastes like ass
I didnt feel as “awake” after.
It did help me poo!

So overall, maybe a positive. i will continue my green tea experiment over the next few days to see if it is helping.
