Hi everyone or anyone who interested in what I have to say about skiing and coaching and fitness. I have asked the athletes this summer to keep a bit of a journal listing their food intake and activities. I also promised I would do the same. I have not been good at it so far and was guilted badly Sunday by my youngest athlete who showed me her food journal. So here is my attempt to make this more right.

Yesterday was a bad day for food for me. We had a BBQ at work. I had a coffee and a bowl of cereal for breakfast, then another coffee later in the morning. At lunch I had a hot dog. I know I know that is not a good choice. Things got worse. At the BBQ I had 2 sausages so 2 hotdog buns, relish and two brownies. Then I had a piece of butterscotch pie. And did I feel it later. Too full.

But today I am making a public promise. I want to be fitter and feel better all the time. I want to be able to perform and get the most out of my training sessions. So today I had an orange before I went to the gym, a bowl of cereal and a coffee for breakfast when I got home.

My workout was great today. I did three different sets of 2 exercises. I am suffering a bit of a shoulder injury right now so no heavy weights. At the end of the session I did 20 seconds on (hard) and 10 seconds of rowing for 7 minutes. That felt good.

So again I promise to be post at least weekly what I am doing and chat about my food intake and activity levels.

Keep me honest athletes. You inspire me every day.
