My diet is generally healthy, whole grain carbs, meat, fish, vegetables, salad and the like, my problem is that I'm training for ironman so quite often I'll hit a huge calorie deficit, cakes will appear in the office and my weak will power says it's ok 500 calories you can have 3 of those. When 1 would have been ok...
This happens too much and the more crap I eat the worse I get especially as it takes a couple of weeks of that kind of behaviour for anything to show, so I think I must be burning it off until it's too late!
I got sent some pictures of me doing a triathlon from 3 weeks ago and was slightly shocked that rather than the lean athlete I had in my mind I looked like a tubby back marker...
I just need the will power to stay away from the crap, and all will be well, and in fairness judging by the mirror measurement, I'm making good progress, although I'm not quite where I was this time last year in terms of definition in my stomach, and the extra weight from a year ago (c.2 kg) is probably at least a kg of muscle.
Basically I shall continue to be good, and hopefully keep motivated from the fat pictures at Windsor tri, which will keep me away from the cakes at work and beers at home!
