England lost

OK, as most of you know I'm not the most avid sports fan in the world, but I do get very patriotic when there's either a semi-final or final. So, on Saturday I hooked up with a friend at the one bar in the town I live in who had the England vs. South Africa Rugby World final.

For those that are not familiar with the sport of Rugby, think American football without the padding. Oh yeah, and rules like you can grab clothes to stop your opponent. Hahaha - anyhow we lost, but still had a good time. I did get a big fed up of the 6' 6" idiot behind me who a) kept looking down my t-shirt b) kept coughing on my head without putting his hand his mouth and c) kept pushing me forward. But all in all it was nice to do something other than work.

Eating on the other hand was bad. I tried really hard to be good but by sunday afternoon (I'd been working all day) I just had to eat chocolate. I've now lost 8lb overall so it can't be too bad.

My challenge this week is that I'm away on a residential training course until Thursday night. I'm not so worried about the meals for carb or protein as there's usually lots of meals. It's the snacks I'm worrying about - usually it's all donuts, croissants or granola bars. Even if there's fruit that's still a carb.

I worked my butt off last week so hopefully all that gym work will pay off. I even squeezed in a training session with Billy this morning, just so I could feel good about going. I'm also scheduled for Friday morning early....and if I get back early enough on Thursday I'll do the spin class. That way I won't feel so bad.

When I get back I'll magically be able to motivate, lead and manage my 55 children:)
