Gym and Swim

OK went back down to the gym last night
Took on board a Niteworks and shake beforehand again

Workout

10 Min's Walk
10 Min's Run (3km including walk)
4 x 100 (5kg each) arm and back toning on a resistance machine
20 Min's Cycle machine (over 5km but didn't log how much in the end)

Took a shake and vitamins for afterwards

My recovery time is improving and I'm finding a better breathing pace for my running as well, i now breath in for four steps and out for 4 steps, before i was doing in for 2 and out for 2

Found myself wanting something healthly for a supper snack, so went to the supermarket and get various tinned sardines in tomato and bbq sauces, had the bbq one on toast, very nice, and good for you, i don't think that i'd even had sardines before that

---

Went for a swim this morning as well, no aches or pains from yesterdays gym session and i took my goggles

With my goggles i could really start to concentrate on my breathing and arm technique

We did get asked to leave the fast lane though as i was swimming a bit slow and kept getting ion the way of this other guy, Sorry, saw him in the changing rooms later and found out that he's also training for a triathlon and will be going to do the Emberton triathlon this Sunday, just looked it up here: http://www.big-cow.com and this must be the triathlon he's doing:

Date: 05-Jun-2011
Location: Emberton Country Park
First Sprint of the Series
750m Swim ; 20km Bike ; 5km Run

I think this is a sprint triathlon, actually i've just looked it up and it is, so sorry for getting in your way


Note to self: look into getting a nose blocker for swimming

Up until now

Okay before i get too carried away with triathlon training, let me explain my background I've never been that concerned about what i ate, i used to have a bowl of about 4-6 weetabix in the morning covered in sugar (it was about 2 spoons full and I'm not talking about teaspoons here, i used to apply it in half spoons at a time so that it didn't look like i was putting much on and then I'd mix it in to the weetabix and milk sludge)

Then I'd cycle to work and sit down all morning and have about 2 coffees

I'd then have lunch, i was quite good to keep it varied for my balanced diet it would be either KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Chinese or fish and chips, these were not the kids meals i was having, in fact the burger king meal i had was nicknamed the 'Super fat b@st@rd meal' it was their biggest burger meal super sized

Then I'd sit down all afternoon at work and probably have another 2-3 coffee, because i was drinking instant coffee i had to have milk and 2 sugars (teaspoons this time) to make it taste nice

I would then cycle home and have a big dinner

I never drank water because i didn't like the taste of water (it was probably because it didn't have any sugar in it) so i would always have strong concentrated cordial drinks

Now on the weekends and after work i was lazy, i couldn't be bothered to do much at all (and i guess i couldn't be bothered to understand why either)

Now this was all fine and dandy while i was cycling to and from work as i didn't quite feel all of the negative effects of eating like this, every day (okay i was lazy but i just figured i was one of those lazy people you hear so much about)

But the time came that i needed a car and because this is how i ate i found it difficult to stop eating like this, i got my podge belly to joke status and my laziness continued, i was never what i would call fat as such but i was unhealthy in what i ate and what i did
