Going well. I got two training sesssions in today. This morning I did an RPM class at the gym (studio cycling). Swim squad this afternoon. I'm quite tired now but I feel ok. I'm eating a lot better now too. My challenge for June is to steer clear of bread. Once I start I can't stop... and it doesn't even fill me up. My worst enemy is the bakery. I don't just buy a wholemeal roll but a finger bun or apple scroll as well. Sometimes I even buy a chocolate slice or something. So bad. But I haven't had bread for a few days now and I feel so much better. Is it the gluten in bread that makes you feel yuk and bloated? Also trying to have no carbs at dinner - just protein and veg. Tonight I arrived home pretty hungry from swimming and had turkey, veg and a banana. Felt like a yoghurt as well but resisted that temptation - YAY!
Glad you are enjoying your cycling sessions. it certainly makes you feel awesome. Hopefully get you outside riding heaps. I still havent gone to the gym, but did go for a mountain bike ride in the mountains on Sunday night, (got caught in the dark). Have had a disasterous week, and I mean really bad, and its been bread thats been my problem too. Like u said, once u start u cant stop. I ate half a loaf of raisin bread on Sunday before I went to work, But it did get me out riding cos I felt so guilty. Cant beleive how off track I went, but am slowly getting bcak on it. Today I worked for my coach as I have to help run the school cycling championships tomorrow. so food wise was almost perfect, till I came home and smelled the toast that my family was eating,so I had sandwich makers with heaps of Jam and some cereal. It really annotys me when I can resist all day. well, I dont even need to resist, I dont hav ethe urge, but as soon as I am home I cant help it, even worse when no one is home. SO tomorrow I am going to this cycling thing which will keep me occupied all day and make an extra effort tomorrow night to control my food urges and have a proper dinner. Like you I am going to cut bread out of my diet as I think this is my major killer, and I actually had a naturopath advise me that wheat was affecting my health anyway, so all the more reason to steer clear of it. Well, remeber to not have yoghurt before you go swimming, or you might ewnd up swimming in it! lol Keep enjoying your RPM classes, they are excellent training for road riding and time trialing as they get you turning over the pedals quicker. I have set a date to definately get back on the bike adn that is the 1st July, thats when my coach changes jobs and will be able to help me get back into it. WHere abouts in Sydney do you live? I have some friends in NSW, but not right in Sydney. Have you ever been to Melbourne?

It is the wheat and yeast... I am allergic to many foods, but if you have a wheat/yeast allergy you fel less bloated when you don't eat it. HAve a good day!!

Hi!
Yes, bread is the very worst for me too! I love the stuff! Could definitely live on it! We have some bread places around here that are just plain sinful. Cinnamon bread, carmel apple bread, jalapeno and cheese bread, etc. etc.!!!! It is DELICIOUS!! I have to stay FAR away from that stuff!!!! In fact one of my favorite smells in the world is bread baking ~ in fact I even like the smell when it is rising. The yeast smell, ya know.
Be good!
