Yes I can eat more than I train!

I had an interesting conversation with one of the doctors at work today. One for my friends was commenting on the photos from finale and I was explaining the 12wbt program. Jess was quite surprised

 

"surely you done need to worry about your diet with all the exercise you do!"

 

 

Alas this is not the case. I have done 4 Ironman campaigns (Ironman being an endurance triathlon involving a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and a 42.2km run). Training can involve about 20 hours per week (although normal weeks are more like 16-18 hours for me). I can burn 1000 calories BEFORE I go to work in the morning but despite this

 

I have never lost a kg training for an ironman!

 

 

Seriously - who would think that is possible. This is why I need to do another round of #12WBT, to work more on my self control while I get back into my training....

 

This week my training has consisted of

Monday - 8km run with 10 minutes of intervals

Tuesday - 60 minute threshold test of a computer training on the bike, 4km run then the strength workout from  the program

Wednesday - 4km run then the Bend it like Bridges video (love yoga and stretching)

Thursday - Given Plasma - being a good citizen - so no training today

Friday - Sleeping in the morning but completed the at home cardio workout (man was that hard!)

 

 

Tomorrow I am going to brave the elements and go for a ride  - hopefully for about 2 hours. - Then maybe the Burn and Ignite 700 in the afternoon.

 

Sunday should be the day of rest - but I will train again.

 

 

Food however is a problem --- double lunch on Tuesday (the wrap just was not big enough!), Then Bookclub last night I had 2 wines and 2 slices of cake and I don't want to know how much cheese......

 

Time to clean up my eating act!

 

 

So here was what greeted my on the way home tonight - I added a saying I think I have modified a little but the basis is not new.....
