- I get to see the sun rise
- The air is fresh and crisp
- It's time out
- I get to think
- It's just me and the open road
- I can listen to the music I love
- I can sing out loud and as loud as I want:
When I grow up I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies. When I grow up I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have boobies...............
And it makes me feel friggin' awesome!!!

One Size Does NOT Fit All !!
Inspired by KatieP's vegetarianism eating post and speaking with Liz today on what's working for her thought I'd share what a carnivorous athlete is eating today:
5 am - 25g pea protein, serve biotest superfood, 10 mls flaxseed oil blended into shake
7.30 am - 150g curry beef mince, 200g asparagus and english spinach
10.15 am - 150g garlic and rosemary lamb, 200g english spinach and silverbeet (this is before my strength training with Liz and I figure if popeye got strong eating spinach then I will too)
11 am - during training biotest surge
12.30 pm - post workout 40g oats, serve protein powder
3.30 pm - 200g fresh fish with cajun spices, 100g snow peas, 100g green beans, 50g cottage cheese
6 pm - 180g curry prawns, 100g broccoli, 100g zucchini, 20g raw cashews
8 pm - 30g raw mixed nuts & pumpkin seeds
Just over 2000 calories. Protein and veg with each feeding and some healthy fats. Some days I have steak, some days turkey mince, some days chicken. Obviously being the carb tolerant one I am I need to chuck in a high carb day every few days but all part of the experiment. What works for you??

SECURITY
Last night I went to the Treasury Casino for a Hen's Night. What a fabulous night it turned out to be. We dined at the Marco Polo (5 star) restaurant which had me thinking about my book "French Women Don't Get Fat" and the reason why. Each course was a small serving. Enough to be satisfied and therefore not enough to feel stuffed and really full afterwards. I was really proud of myself and again practiced my learnings of late. I declined the bread, had a side of steamed bok choy in oyster sauce for entree and an entree size green curry prawns (3 prawns) with pickled cucumber for main with veges also. I didn't order a dessert but had a taste of someone elses. My only downfall was the complimentary chocolates at the end brought with the bill which I think I had 2 or 3. By this stage I was quite merry on my cosmopolitans and vodkas so willpower had flown right out the window.
After dinner we headed to the LiveWire bar for a bit of dancing. This is where it got funny or at least I thought so. Security kept asking me to take my hat off. Of course, I didn't want to because I'd have hat hair so being the cheeky, rebellious gal I am would take it off then put it back on when they walked away. After about the fifth time I was told "ma'am - if I have to tell you one more time we're going to ask you to leave". Seriously, do I look like a security risk?

After getting lost from the rest of the group it was time for me to head on home in the early hours of the morning. Thought I'd put on a brave face this morning and head for a cardio interval session with my training partner which I realised about 20 mins in, when I wanted to ralph, probably wasn't such a smart move. Apparently I reaked of alcohol too. Anyway, got a short session done and feeling much better this afternoon. On a good note, the scales went down 1.5 kilos this morning - gotta love dehydration, until tomorrow when they go back up that is!

LOW LOW LOW - THE BAGGY SWEAT PANTS !
I'm feeling so god damn good lately, it's scary! I keep waiting for the big fall but each day just keeps getting better and better. I'm feeling strong (both mentally and physically) and getting leaner each and every day which of course is pleasing me greatly. I'm practicing positivity, positive self talk and visualisation.
Today was my leg training session with Liz and she made me get "low, low, low". I didn't even realise the song was playing during my warm-up with spidy's until she started singing and doing a little dance so fun and laughter then had by both of us.
Today marks day 3 of my low cal/carb day and I'm hanging out for a high day tomorrow with oats featured twice, quinoa, sweet potato, brown rice and ezekiel bread. I realised by around 2 pm this arvo I was quickly becoming carb depleted when nearly falling asleep in the doctors surgery waiting room and feeling and looking very flat.
As soon as I can (and bear the thought of fasting till 8 am) I'm off to pathology for some more testing; this time cortisol, hGH, testosterone, progesterone, oestrogen, liver function as well as a stool sample checking digestion issues. I'm interested to see the results of these ones.
My meeting with the 700 cal chick yesterday went quite well. I think she took on board all that I had to say as well as all the data I had typed out for her backing up my explanations. I guess only time will tell if she puts my recommendations into practice.
Does anyone have a bikini they might want to sell?
