Just a quick check in. Been really busy, huge week of clients again this week. Of course having the races yesterday didn't help my productivity. It was a good day though, and amazingly enough, I backed the winner of the Cup. I think I am getting another cold :( I am not having a good run of things lately! I know I'm not the lone ranger there though. I had a few drinks yesterday and not a lot to eat but I don't think I was hungover. I have finally decided to bite the bullet and go gluten and dairy free. It's the dairy that will be tough. I bought and cooked up some quinoa tonight, which will be my oats replacement. Got a big plate of flathead that I cooked up tonight for dinner which was beautiful.

So, tomorrow I will try my quinoa for brekky, not really sure yet how to have it but I will experiment and find a way. Like I said, no dairy makes it tough to be creative! I'm also going to reduce my consumption of artificial sweeteners. Not that I have a lot but I will make an effort to reduce.

I trained in the morning before the races and leg pressed the whole stack for 3 sets. I could feel my muscle fibres tearing! Pretty sore today. I am going to get up and do some cardio in the morning - I haven't done any for so long (3 weeks!) and I feel a bit slobbish! Went to the chiro today which was well timed because my deadlifting session caused me a few issues. My neck and back were so sore. It's time to deadlift again tomorrow or Friday but I don't think that would be wise. Every 2 weeks may be better.

Still trying to figure out my plan of attack for shows early in the year. Will be calling someone tomorrow, and also waiting on a call back from another trainer to confirm her availability.
