I woke up and decided to do a weigh in as I was feeling way thinner than this time yesterday! I was amazed to find that I had dropped pretty much 2kgs in 24 hrs!!

Yesterday I was 107.6kgs this morning I am 105.7kgs so 0.1kgs away from dropping 2 kgs! Not bad for a days work!
This just shows that if I put in the effort on the bike the weight will drop off pretty quickly! It also shows that I haven’t been putting the effort in as I have lost 2kgs total all year until yesterday!
I am pretty stoked with the weight loss and I am super glad that I pushed myself yesterday and did the planned workout. To be honest I literally rode to work and back and then did 8 laps of the track and that was it for the day so its not like I was working out for hours on end! In fact I actually spent more time resting during my workout yesterday than I did working out if you think about it! I spent 30 minutes resting between laps and a maximum of 3 minutes actually riding as it takes me about 33-35 seconds for a lap going on my regional times.
When I got home yesterday my knee was hurting a lot so I started to investigate curing knee pain and a couple of you tubers that I watch were doing the knee over toe guy’s ATG program and that it had all but eradicated their knee issues so I have signed up for it and will start tonight after coaching as today is a stretching day anyway. I have bought a slant board to use for the stretching to work on ankle flexibility so I am hoping that the program will also improve the state of my right ankle too as it doesn’t have any ligaments left and I have slowly lost rom in it since stopping physio. I have just been watching another video and they suggest buying a couple of other pieces of equipment when I start the gym phase of the program but for now I will be doing the no weights program to build a base strength and flexibility before progressing to the weighted section. As I have 3 months until the worlds I will just be starting the weighted program so I should hopefully have gained a fair bit of strength and flexibility by then and would think that I will have significantly reduced my pain levels too!
To help with recovery after training I am starting drinking my green smoothies again from today and I will also start to move my diet towards being a raw vegan. At the moment I am planing to eat the following every day:
Pre-Breakfast – Beetroot Juice Shot
Breakfast = Overnight Oats with mixed nuts and honey
Lunch = Salad and green smoothie
Pre-workout = Salad and Green Smoothie
Post Workout = Green Smoothie and Pineapple chunks
This evening I did training with my couch which was preliminarily gates and I have to say that I was super flat all night and struggled to be 2nd to the first jump pretty much every time 🙁 I am guessing that part of this was due to being tired from the full laps yesterday and partly because I am not used to riding a lot in the evenings as I get up so early! My wrist was also a bit sore this evening and I had to wear the wrist brace again!
