Well my holiday was great, I tried to get some short distance runs in between the opening of the locks (I was on a canal boat for a week) the week started off well with shakes for breakfast and niteworks for my night-time drink but eventually the holiday spirit got the better of me and along came the fried breakfasts and ciders for my night-time drinks, D'oh!
But now that I'm back I've kick started my training off again, an almost hour long swimming session last night and an almost hour long gym session this morning before work, I now get to see 2 x 6:30's in my day
I've hit the shakes again after my workouts, I asked my team of experts for some shake tips (Thanks BIG team) and I'm feeling energized and ready for the triathlon again
I probably should have done my stats before and after my holiday to see what happened to my body while resting but I didn't (Note to Self: do this on your next holiday)
I weighed myself at the gym and I'm showing as 70 kg so I've probably lost some muscle so I'll need to build this back up again
Well it's good to be back and i'll keep you updated as the date gets ever nearer, argh!!

My 1st fitball class
Attended a fitball class at my gym today
They are really good at building core strength and stability
I
was
useless!
OK let me re-phrase, I felt useless, I was wobbling all over the ball and at one point the ball bounced across the room, still i had fun and learn about muscles that i didn't even know that i had
The instructor was good with clear beginners like myself, showing us how to perfect each movement and showed us how to progress to the more advanced workouts
I did mean to get to the gym earlier to go for a run to burn some calories but it turns out that the class was more than enough
I still took a shake and a Niteworks, then afterwards i had another shake with vitamins and protein powder to help rebuild my muscles
I'll let you know tomorrow if I've got any aches as I'm getting up early for a swim to get ready for my 400m leg of my triathlon

Stats and more
Back from gym
Okay before i get into my workout i've been getting some stats of my body from Dani's Tanita scales:
04/04/2011 (taken for a laugh)
Weight = 166.2 lbs
Body Fat % = 19.3
Hydration % = 56.1
Muscle Mass = 127.4 lbs
Physique rating = 5
Basal Metabolic Rate = 1796 Cal
Metabolic Age = 29
Bone Mass = 6.6 lbs
Visceral Fat Reading = 4
06/09/2011
Weight = 157.6 lbs
Body Fat % = 15
Hydration % = 59.6
Muscle Mass = 127.2 lbs
Physique rating = 5
Basal Metabolic Rate = 1780 Cal
Metabolic Age = 18
Bone Mass = 6.6 lbs
Visceral Fat Reading = 3
Okay beforehand i had a Niteworks and a fruit juice shake
Workout:
Walk 5 Min's
Run 15 Min's
Walk 5 Min's (3.3Km Total)
Back resistance machine (1 set of 100 reps)
Then I asked an instructor to some us some exercises for the back and abs on the exercise balls
He suggested we use a 65cm ball instead of a 55cm, then showed us a few different things we could do and you could really feel them working, due to having to keep balance as well as do the movement it works more muscles, he said that working the core would also automatically help with whatever other sports we were doing
He also said that he is running a fit ball session tomorrow for an hour so we might go along to that as well
afterwards i had a Soy milk shake with multivitamins and fibre and herb tablets
i feel exercised but no aches, yay

Workout:
5 min walk
15 min run (almost 3km including walk)
10 min cycle (almost 6km)
1km on rowing machine
5 min walk
also walked to and from the gym, 10 Min's there and 15 Min's back
After the gym i took on board another shake, then off to the cinema for Hangover 2
after waiting 2 and a half hours due to a combination of half term off for kids and Hangover 2 being Full up till 9:50
Had some cooked chicken and whole bunch of blueberries
Felt fine with my workout no aches or pains well only from laughing too hard at the Hangover 2
