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.


Hi Sue, I’ve just found your blog. I have a couple of gluten-free, dairy-free quinoa recipes: Quinoa cranberry pumpkin seed breakfast, and Vanilla and peach quinoa pudding. Let me know if you’re interested in either of them. Cheers, Charlotte
No dairy, no artificial sweetener and no gluten is tough – I’ve been living it for a few months now – but if it’s what you’re allergic to it’s well worth the effort:)
I’m here for you:)
