Hi all, what a great week. With all this training i've been getting fitter and healthier beyond my wildest dreams. I've finally broken through that 90kg mark. I haven't been under 90kg in the last 2 years. My waterpolo is improving, i've been promoted to the first team and been playing the best polo ever. All my old pants are fitting me again and i don't feel bloated. If i eat any type of unhealthy food at the moment i actaully feel sick. Been focusing on more water during the day, eating smaller meals and pushing my self to train harder then ever.

I think my stomach is becoming more intune with itself, i can feel when im full and i'm not craving as much any more. The hardest struggle is getting myself intune and on track over the weekends. But i've ditched the hotdogs and hamburgers at the braais and now having chicken skewers with salads.

I'm behind in my workouts this week, but that's how night shifts affect my schedule. I finally got up early enough to fit in a workout before my shift. It was gloomy on my drive to the gym and just pored moments after getting in. It was the first time I did my cardio in a lighting storm. I'm sure my RPMs spiked during the thunder booms, fortunately we never lost any electrical services. My weights went well and I felt good and relaxed on my drive home. Time to go to work again.

Bench Press 15 x 45lb, 12 x 65lb, 12 x 75lb, 10 x 85lb
Incline Flys 15 x 20lb, 15 x 25lb
Decline Bench Press 15 x 65lb, 15 x 85lb

Crop Walk 5k? - 4.0 miles 72:24. Rather informal event in terms of a run. The 5k was actually 4 miles long which was fine with me. My Mom had a goal of completing a 5k this year and she blew that goal away. Unfortunately, I don't think her shoes fit very well because after we got home we discovered the little toes on both her feet were covered in blood. I think she might need a gift certificate for Fleet Feet as well as a GHF membership for Christmas :)

I think we're going to have extra fun on November 21st and I want to recognize my Mom's efforts so I've ordered *another* trophy for my Mom and I've got the words "First Place" at the top of the engraving along w/ her name and the date of the Crop Walk.
