Flatmates partner cooked Coq au vin, felt rude to decline and it smelt divine! The chicken is first coated with flour then browned in the left over fat from the bacon. Sounds a bit grouse now, well that's enough bacon for me for a while.

Had brown rice rather than new potatoes.

Pre-workout: Ate remainder of bacon 2 Rashes, an egg and 1 pancake (wheat free) for breakfast.

Post workout:

Fresh Pineapple yum yum
2 small pancakes with maple syrup
small protene shake 1 scoop pure protene, tblsp plain yogurt, pineapple, frozen berries soy milk and dash of coconut cream

Started taking new supplement 'Astaxanthin' it's an antioxidant that claims to:

Anti-inflammatory
help recover after exercise and reduce soreness
works as an internal sun screen
improves strength and endurance

See how it goes

Did well entire week reg sugar, wheat or potatoes. Should have eaten more veggies.

Had a cafe regular Soy flat white yesterday and today.

Post workout treat/cheat meal - Gluten free pancakes x2, banana, 3 rashes of bacon and maple syrup best meal i've had in ages better than s*x.

I've been dying for chocolate the last few days. I found a sugar free version at the supermarket. It tastes good for about 3 seconds and made me really thirsty after eating a whole bar. Cant be good for me!

Prepared and took lots of food away for the weekend.

I had a few things that had sugar or wheat in them.

3 flat whites with regular soy milk
mini muffin (cup cake really) it was to console me could have been worse!
salsa and corn chips

first week accomplished! No real slip ups.

Fought the urge to get a regular soy flat white when buying my coffee beans today. They give a free coffee with every bag of beans purchase. Ended up getting it for someone else and making my own when got back into the office. Was thinking about taking no added sugar version next time so they can make me one. Coffee made by someone else tastes better!

No real sugar or wheat cravings. Pretty sure i'm getting leaner my board shorts are sitting lower and workout pants nearly slip of when i'm running. The big difference is my waist it's shrinking! yay!

Doing really well i'm surprised at how full i feel.

It's only the first week and i haven't been confronted by bakery food (my weakness) yet!.. Our office is due a cake this week but luckily I've got the day off tomorrow when it's been brought in.

Strange but i think i feel happier, must be because my blood sugars not going on a roller coaster ride

Found putting a little salt in water helped hydrate for Waka training. Ate some grapes also for sugar No need for sports drink.

Good breakfast had ground almonds, plain yogurt with stewed apple and berries. I added a little Stevia to stewed fruit tastes yum.

Had first coffee in 3 days today! Thought i was a coffee addict apparently not. I had no headaches or felt tired.
I found a soy milk that has no added sugar by vita soy. It really tastes different from the regular one i'm used to. It will take a few days not to mis the sugar in it. Glad i can go with out coffee until i can make my own flat white.

Ate at noodle bar had a little slip up using dipping source, it must have sugar as it's sweet.

Happy to have stuck to eating only allowed foods all weekend. This is the time a usual blow out.

Not a total angel had buttered popcorn and diet coke at movies tonight.

Yesterday I started my four week goal of not having *sugar/wheat/patatoes/alcohol in my diet.

• Will ensure i eat plenty of fresh vegies and fruit for carbs.
  Protein with each meal and good fats/oils.
  Plenty of water
  Only after 1 hour training or race day I'll have an *electrolyte drink
  I'll post progress and any slip ups (if any)
