On the subject of artificial sweeteners they are actually quite bad for you. Aspartame especially. A can of diet soft drink will hold more than the recommended upper limit for artificial sweeteners. The reason that they are so bad (and forgive me it has been I while since I last studied this so the knowledge is a bit rusty and not quite there straight away) is that they can cross through the blood-brain barrier.

Aspartame is also an appetite enhancer. When researchers want fat lab rats for experiments, they often feed them aspartame to cause them to gain weight. That's why in the States, products containing aspartame will often be sold in conjunction with high-carb food items - say a supermarket might have a special deal on buying a can of diet coke with a large size bag of potato chips. So the old joke about diet coke being fattening because you always see fat people drinking it actually has some truth to it.

Firstly - I have the EAS Carb Control Bars. I only have half as I'm not really supposed to have any but when you have to eat every 2 hours or so it's not always convenient to take cooked stuff with me. Seems to okay so far though, not affecting the weight loss so I'll continue until they're gone. Figure I still have about 4 weeks before I'll cut them out all together. Generally only have 1 or 2 per week now.

Well did the Triathlon, times will be posted this afternoon, so I'll post that tomorrow. Did hardly any cardio training for it but I think all the weight training I've been doing for Body Building paid off heaps! I actually found it all really easy. The cycle was the hardest part as there were 40km wind in WLG today so the quads were burning. Run and swim I did quite quickly (well it felt like it compared to last year!) but I should know for sure this afternoon.

I had a few more carbs yesterday leading up to this morning and it all paid off.

So today so far has been.....

4.30am

2 x Fat Metabolisers

1 x Sterone

40g Oats, Protein powder and flaxseed oil

7.00

1/2 protein bar

10.00am

1/2 protein bar

12.30pm

Tuna with 2 cups salad (and a couple of almonds, had a bit of a craving)

The rest will be......

3.00pm

2 x Fat Metabolisers

1 x Sterone

1 Apple with serve of protein

5.30pm

Protein shake

7.00pm

Steak with veges

8.30pm

Protein Shake

Not feeling all that hungry today so just kinda eating cos I have to which is a much nicer feeling than counting the minutes to the next meal.

Well I just checked and they have them up already so here they are:

Tri was a 300m swim, 10km cycle and a 3km run.

Total time was 53 mins 57 secs

Swim took 9.37

Bike took 28.43

Run took 15.37

I beat my time by 3 mins on last year and with heaps more wind!

Pretty happy with that, and gonna go hard and concentrate on BB with that out of the way!

Firstly, I have to admit that my diet did differ slightly to the "Proposed Eating" that I posted yesterday. I ate a bit more than I should have. I suppose I took on the "well I did a triathlon today, I'm allowed" attitude but rest assured I paid for it. Stomach didn't take too well to it so hopefully back on the right track now!

And it appears I pulled a calf muscle in all my excitement yesterday so I think someone is trying to tell me something!

Well, I had to substitute the Single Leg Lunges last night for the hacksquat cos some guy took up the smith machine for the 45 mins I was there!

Hi Tammy

Been so busy lately with work and all this training. I spend all my time at the gym,practicing posing, eating or cooking meals for the next day.

So time consuming???!!!

I've started the carb cycling now after advice from the PT and have lost half a kilo in a week so hopefully the fat will keep dropping off. My PT is really happy with the weight loss and definitely thinks I have a chance of a place (guess it proves his techniques work if I place anyway). 45 days til the comp and the last phase is now. It's gone really quickly so I know the next 6 weeks will fly by.

How's the injury coming along? You must be looking forward to getting back to training? I'm looking forward to my carb load days and no training for a change!

i know exactly what you mean but it flies by and before you know it it is over.

Injury ok no pain for 2 weeks now. Having accupuncture, acupressure, going to the chiropractor and a musculoskeletal specialist!!! so hopefully it is all working!! Think i will start training again at the start of april, anymore than a month off training will totally do my head in i think. Despite not training, doing hardly any cardio (about 2 half hour sessions per week) i miraculously haven't put on any weight (weighed myself for the first time yesterday) so that is a bonus i guess. Guess myt body really needed the rest!

Can't wait to start training again, would love to do the christchurch half marathon in june and still have hopes of competing in october.

Keep up the awesome dedication
