    80.1 this morning. Just gym'd, hour cardio, 20 minute cycle, 20 minute treadmill (fast walk), 20 minute cycle. Last 5 minutes on the cycle was murder. With the days intake of carbs being 2 x 1/4 cups of whole grain oats, and a half cup or rice, and 3 teaspoons of honey, there is not a lot of fuel in the tank for anything at the moment!<br />
    <br />
    but light at the the end of the tunnel, this week flies by - tomorrow we visit traininer Teresa in Thames, then Ness sees her Bikini lady in Pukekohe. So the day is done and dusted before you know it. Friday we do our final tan and then head to Auckland to set up base camp and then weight in, so again, that day is full on and gone before you know it. That just leaves Tuesday / Wednesday and Thursday to struggle through, and struggle it is. Tuesday though is the final waxing, back and chest (about to get my legs killed now), so that burns an hour or two too. <br />
    <br />
    So the week WILL go like lightning, the last 6 days always do.<br />
    <br />
    This time next week we'll have had a nice 'works' breakfast and a couple of hot chocolates, and will be starting to wend our way back to Whangamata, via at least one BP for a ginat muffin for Ness - and a caramel slice for me, for starters....

    80.8 kilos for a night weigh - so that is wicked news too - only 300 off the mark (we weigh in between 6-8 on the Friday). Ness spot on her weigh in weight. This is before dehydration too, so once again, GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL....

    [B]79.1[/B] this morning, and BF% down to a low of 4.2. <br />
    <br />
    Diuretics started too, no more workouts - yesterday was last legs / back and biceps. Now is just posing and pumping up over the next couple of days, plus bloody tanning, travel to Auckland, and strutting on stage like a bloody cock hen, and then MAccas for one of those mega macs I think is the post com agenda!! For me anywya!

    weight this evening at 6:05 - 80 kilos on the nose. Half a kilo under goal. Does this mean some carbs tomorrow pre weigh in, still waiting on trainer to get back to us... Fingers, toes and everything else on the planet crossed. A few rice wafers with jam would go down a TREAT. But 500g is still pretty close to the line. Ness in the same boat - 500g under.<br />
    <br />
    A far cry from Rarotonga, where we were both still over the night before!!

    hey guys - thanks, results are in, good and bad.<br />
    <br />
    Won my 'international athletic' class but did not win overall title this year - sucks, but there you go! Ness did not place in her class, very tough call on her. WE placed 3rd in pairs which we happy with.<br />
    <br />
    but suffice to say, these events are judged, and the seven in the hot seats are the opinions that count. I think Ness was unlucky to not be winning her section, and then goes and comes in 4th - and not just me either. Pretty gut wrenching.<br />
    <br />
    but back to the drawing board, Waikato next June or July the next time we go through all this pain to be judged by a panel of 7!!<br />
    <br />
    Me, I'm off for a run tonight!
