Day 8: Carrot price fluctuations & weigh in.
Today I would like to bring up an issue near and dear to my heart. Carrot price fluctuations. If you ever wanted to move from the shady world of profiteering on smuggled guns to something more dangerous and volatile you could get into the carrot business. Every day I get a carrot I pay a different price for it. Now it could be that I'm picking different size carrots but I'm more inclined to believe that it's because of some sort of carrot price fixing racket happening. I'm bloody suss I tell you what.
Carrot Price statistics.

60 cents. That's bloody outrageous!
But I assume you're not here to read about that. You want to know how I did on my monday morning weigh in. I did okay. I lost 2 kilos since starting last monday. Which is a good result. It would have been better if I hadn't had so much to drink on the weekend. Red wine is lovely though.
What I did today:
Walked to and from work. 3.4km.
Gym cardio session 35 mins. Today it was an early session and I really hit it hard, warm up on the rowing machine was a little bit slow, but I did 30 really full on mins of hill climb on the bike and I really hit it hard. So hard in fact that when I got to yoga...
Ashtunga Yoga 1h 30mins. Holy crapsauce I was weak - especially in the legs. Sometimes in yoga you just aren't in the spot and this time I worked hard but it was like my body was put together wrong. That has happened in the past so I reckon it's more just general stiffness rather than the hard cardio session this morning.
What I ate today:
Breakfast: Fruché (355kj) & Kiwi Fruit (200kj)
Morning Tea: Small handful of raw nuts (~800kj)
Lunch: Tin of tuna in spring water 90gm net tin 350kj, 300ml potato and leek soup 1000kj
Afternoon Tea: Granny Smith Apple 220kj
Afternoon Tea 2: Comedy carrot with wildly fluctuating price 300kj
Dinner: Stir Fried Chicken (we fry in extra virgin olive oil, and we fly virgin airlines and when we stay in Melbourne we stay at... Oh sorry I thought I was on sale of the century) with bok choy, carrots and broccoli, sweet chilli, soy and 5 spice powder. 2000kj.
Mood: Worried about the GFCC (Global Financial Carrot Crisis)

Great work on the fat loss, just try to keep those weekends in check and your results will be that much better.

Don't eat carrots, clearly they are only going to make your wallet lighter!
