Never Count Your Chickens....






... Before they Hatch -well that's my learning at least for last week.  Wrote a great post last Monday (week ago) about 21 minute exercise regimes, decided not to post it on Monday - but to save it for mid -week motivation, and when I went back to publish it - whammo - gone!  It seems I didn't save it properly.  And there I was thinking I was super organised.  Now I'll have to redo it.  ah well.

Have been reading heaps over the last few weeks about nutrition, spurred on by the "Born to Run" bible - a fantastic novel (true story) about running ultra marathons and the benefits of barefoot running, and then Scott Jurek's book Eat and Run - one of the world's best VEGAN ultrarunner who is featured in Born to Run.  If you didn't know - ultrarunner's may run 100 miles or for as long as 36+ hours - hence  good nutrition is absolutely vital.  Scott totally believes that what you put in your body has a big impact on performance.  The key take home message is that weight loss may be about calories in versus calories out, but performance, recovery times, injury and illness prevention are all about the quality of the food you put in your mouth.

Any way - here are the results for Week 4

1st Place:  Emma G - 1.87%
2nd Place: Ella H - 1.8%
3rd Place- Jo A -1.51%

Overall

1st Place:  Ali C - 7.57%
2nd Place: Tracey B - 5.22%
3rd Place: Ingrid C - 4.64%

There are some newcomers to the leaderboard - make sure if you see them you make them feel special - its always nice to receive a bit of recognition for your hard work.  Also - placegetters, dont get too comfortable  - you can't tell, but there are many others very hot on your tail, only narrowly missing out!

Have a good week
