Day 5 - False Alarm (me not my sister)

So I get to the gym this morning for my second measurement and Larry takes me into the little room and starts rifling through his paperwork. I notice the file says 'Summer Weight Loss Competition'. He looks for my name and then realises he has got confused and that I'm not in the weight loss comp (which is for overweight and obese people), I'm in the six pack comp! He apologizes and lets me know that my second measure up will be Cup Weekend...

I'm a little confused myself. Do I look like I need to shed more than a few kilos? Do I look really fat? I stare in the mirror while warming up on the exercise bike and decide no...me at the beginning of 2010, yes but me now, no.

Ego back intact, I set to work on my upper body weight routine. I enjoy the variety of lat pull downs, pushups on a fit ball and chest press etc. It feels good to really target these muscle groups more thoroughly. I remember how much I actually like doing weights, especially when the gym is empty and there's not a hundred beefcake blokes grunting and dropping weights on the floor...

I then do 20 mins on the cross-trainer. This time I set the level higher to level 6 and do the hill program. I try to work hard and sweat alot...the cooldown starts after 16 mins and I curse the machine cos I like to push myself flatout until the end. Cooldown schmooldown. Cooldown's for pussies.

Spend the rest of the day with my sis again but refrain from further photo taking.

Gastronomy:

Meal 1 - glass of lemon water
muesli with milk

Meal 2 - glass of water
apple and nuts

Meal 3 - glass of water
multigrain sandwich with turkey, bit of cranberry sauce, tomato and rocket

Meal 4 - glass of water
long mac with a fair amount of skinny milk
3 strawberries

Meal 5 - glass of water
scrambled eggs with asparagus, carrot and spinach

Meal 6 - glass of water
yoghurt

I realised the other day that fruit has carbohydrates so I have stopped having strawberries with my yoghurt at night...this diet is extreme. Today I bought my sister a gelati and felt very naughty when I licked the sugary dribble off my hand! So decadent! Haha.

Well one more day of exercise for the week tomorrow and then I get Sunday off! It's gonna be weird...

Chat later folks ox
