    Miss a session? Polish off the plate off brownies at work..? Lie to the missus? Post it and let it be :)

    I'm sure our trusty peers can dispense the necessary advise to forget about it, come clean, double up, have another, switch it to Friday etc... Or to SIU, HTFU and quit whining :p

    Can't believe this thread just opened. I'm sitting here giving out to myself for having polished off 2 x Nature Valley Oats & Chocolate bars in quick succession. I feel better for talking about it :)

    Ok,

    At a wedding on Saturday. Probably had one or two too many :rolleyes:. Eventually crawled out of bed around 2 on Sunday :o. Needless to say the 90min bike and run off didn't happen. Then attacked a couple of packed of crisps.

    Yesterday, still feeling the affects, did some serious damage to the biscuit tin at work (jaffa cakes, choco digestives and choco rich teas) and dodged last nights swim session. Chinese for dinner last night :o

    Its now almost 80 hours since I last trained. Back on the wagon this eve

    Ahh, the mind set of a sharp-end triathlete...

    I'm more in the "80 days to Ironman - better start training" camp:)

    As I am in taper I have an automatic get out of jail free card. But still, does that excuse fish and chips for lunch? Or the xl galaxy bar I had last night? Or the four (yes, four) large bars of cadbury bubbly chocolate waiting in the cupboard for bike packing duty later on?

    When I was buying all the chocolate the girl at the till said 'youre slim you could eat loads of that' and I thought, just for this week, yes I can. :)

    Actually, a friend asked how much IMAT cost today, while my oh was listening. He was filled with horror at the amount I mentioned which was about a third of the real price. I wonder did he think pixies paid for it or something....

    fvck me lads, you all sure know how to binge. I read the logs and I know most of you boys can justify hammering hard stuff. I however am going through a mid-season crisis at the moment...motivation is low so I have to try to keep the food in check as the training is taking a bit of a hit.

    I love it, i'm in the process of figuring out how to smuggle in a 910xt, pointy helmet and a few other bits. I've already tried to soften the blow by saying bike to work will cover any future spending but I still got the look

    @ray o Every serious triathlete I know eats like this. And they are all skinny fcukers. Lesson being, train like a champion, you get to eat like a champion!

    Amateur. Plan well ahead in future and order two days before they go away. Get it delivered to work too just in case.

    Redeemed.

    Reese cups would have been another acceptable redemption choice.

    Works perfectly for me, until it is a large item.

    Had to cycle home with a pair of S80s under my arm back in Feb - lots of strange looks....

    Jesus H Christ, I thought I wandered into the weight watchers thread by accident.

    Folks on here swimming, running and biking 100+ miles per week and bitching like Oprah about eating a chocolate biscuit.

    If ever a HTFU was needed, it's now.

    For shame on yo asses.

    The next time I'm down your way I'll print off that list and refer to the right hand column for discussion prompts, so you'll look all the better for it.

    Suggested some holiday locations this morning to the gf on the basis of races. She almost called me on it.

    Pretty much got through a loaf of white bread in two days. That said, they were used for King crisp sambos.

    I pick up the pace if my training run passes girls. My training partner has commented I do not discriminate by age, class, or colour.

    I have at least one 10k race time dictated by the speed of the girl in cute shorts ahead of me.

    Sorry Shotgun, I haven't been in the confession box in 27 years, this is a release:D

    Touché!

    Keep spooning on the guilt, it's what feeds the confession industry :)
