That's me on the left and my beautiful SIL on the right. Yes we have matching "I love the night life" T-shirts lol.
NO NO NO NO AND NO AGAIN!!
On Saturday we had a family BBQ at my parents' place. I said no to the wine, the nibbles - including mum's to-die-for-cheese-scones, sausages, potato salad, garlic bread and even desert - mum's to-die-for-caramel-slice. I drank gallons of soda water with lime and had about the right portion of the best available proteins and tons of tossed salad. I talked my way through desert. I went there really determined to not pig out and I was really pleased that I didnt. Cant say the same about my poor mum. She looked quite disappointed that I wasnt tucking in (like I usually do!!)
I also had an excellent weekend training wise. Just moderate intensity cardio on Saturday as I did legs later that morning. Great session, every rep felt effective :-). Then on Sunday I taught my classes and was so in the zone through step that I got to the stage where I just wasnt getting enough O2. Had to get off the step, walk around to recover and then hop back on. Woops!! I tell you, I was on fire!! I even managed to do chest and bis later on Sunday even though I was quite tired after after the morning's classes. On my push-ups (from feet/hands on low bench) I managed 20 reps in my 2nd set. Was very pleased with that!! What an awesome weekend that was.
So cause I'm firing on all cylinders I pushed out a tough cardio session this morning. I jogged to my sprint tracks (just down the road) then did 6 x 180m sprints with 100m recover walks; 6 x 100m sprints with short recovery walks; 2 x 50m sprints; run home. The 180m sprints really take it out of me so by the time I was up to the 50m ones I hardly had anything left in the tank. The run home finished me off nicely :-)
I weighed and measured on the weekend too. I cant believe that after a few days home and eating clean and training again I weigh less than what I did before I went to Sydney. WTF!! I expected at least 2 kilos back on. So I'm sitting just over 67 kgs but I know I need to work my butt off to break under this weight. So my "Operation 65/74" still wont be a walk in the park.
Well bring it on. This time I'm doing it!!

Thanks Splice,
I didnt feel so good first thing after getting back but I'm over that now. No point crying over spilt milk as they say. Onwards and upwards is the best philosophy.
Cheers
