Win a Bike

Kay check it out yo. If you go to my website you can win one of 4 Kuota frame and fork sets. Every week we are giving away glasses, helmets and some other stuff too so check it out and get your name in there. Soon you'll be able to purchase some cool riding gear and a funky ass trucker hat to go along with it.

Hands out of the cookie jar

I've come to the harsh reality that I just may be addicted to cookies. I think Ironman can really get you into trouble with the whole sugar thing. We consume copious amounts of sugar in training and racing that I think our systems become addicted. I really love cookies but I think it is time to shed some weight....time to get focused and time to start a spreadsheet of all the little things that add up. I haven't had a cookie or anything sweet for 2 weeks now and I will admit that it has been tough at times. Sometimes they scream at me from my subconscious "eat me" is usually what they say. To which I respond "I am in control"........."You don't control me mister chocolate chip cookie, oh so good". It's been working so far. My brother taught me to only eat treats if you have prepared them yourself and so that has been one strategy and it seems to be working.

I feel better generally speaking and I plan on sticking to this. I think we become addicted to what we do so if I do not eat the cookies then hopefully I will become addicted to that. I've been eating alot of grapes, they are a great patch.
