Cup Week

Where has the last week gone? As usual cup week in Melbourne has been very frantic with not much time to myself.; and when I did It was to sleep… Its been a week since I last blogged, so tonight I thought I’d better let you know how its all going…


In short, its been difficult with my food, but my exercise has been great.


First the food… Brekkie has always been easy… bough some fruit and weet-bix so been having that every morning; lunch has been OK, although probably a little more than I normally have, over the course of a long day on the OB, you do tend to graze a bit as you grab a bit to eat between working… It was less that previously, but still not as little as I should, mainly because dinner was going to be so late… It consisted of sandwich, wrap, crackers and cheese, and fruit… I gave the sweet stuff a miss… the good thing was I drank LOTS of water. Dinner (by the time I got it) has consisted of a combination of cooking and takeaway/restaurants; always trying to eat healthy and without a drink, but sometimes it didn’t happen… My appetite has been getting the better of me, so definitely looking forward to next weeks band fill…


Exercise on the other had has been great; and a lot more than what I normally do. Lots of walking around Flemington instead of using the golf buggies like I normally do; except for when I was moving equipment about…


At the end of the week if I get home without putting on any weight in the 10 days I’ll be happy with myself… If I do put on some; its understandable as I’ve been using will power - and that’s been busy especially when you’re tired. If in the unlikely event I loose some weight it will be an unexpected bonus…; but once I get home its back to normal… As Christmas approaches I want to make sure I go into it in the right frame of mind, so I stay on track with my progress…


Tomorrow its Oaks day; so its no where near as busy; then Friday its packup and head home in the evening…


Even after being here for a week; I’m still getting comments on my weigh loss and how good I’m looking, which makes me feel really good… and now I’ve dropped my weigh; Cup day was so much easier even though I was up at 3.30am and didn’t leave the track until after 8pm; I still managed to have the energy to go and have dinner - normally I just back to the hotel and collapse…


Must go and catch up on my sleep after the last few long days


Until next time
