Lol I'm guns look a brownie up in a min to point it - I have cut them into small portions!

Really didn't enjoy my pizza gave 1/4 away, didn't eat the crusts and the dough balls weren't all that either :sigh: xx

Edit: ok so 100g mini thorntons brownies are 12pp mine weigh about 22gms each & I had 3 so pointed them at 9pp

 

[summergurl]

Less than 6hours sleep, very very tiny movement toilet wise yesterday and 1/2lb up this morning I am seriously hacked off.

Off for a meal today for my little brothers birthday, a day early and were off to the harvester so that will probably be another million lbs heavier on the scales tomorrow!!! Thinking of maybe changing my weigh in day to a friday again as if im not drinking im eating more on a weekend which is silly for a monday weigh in. I think i would have probably done better if i was still drinking a bottle or 2 of wine each weekend!!!

Edit: So i popped to the 24hour tesco garage near me to get some pure orange juice (might help my situation) & picked up some alpen light bars (Jan these are 3 for 2 at the min if ya didnt already know) and they contain 4.7g fibre per bar and are only 2points!

Sunday 30th January

*4 mile run (41m13.1secs - beaten last time by 2mins 47secs!!! )
- 1/2 powerade 2pp

B1 - (up early so had to have something) Alpen light summer fruits bar 2pp
250ml pure orange juice 2pp

B2- muesli & s.s milk 6pp

*banana after run 0pp

L/D - fish & chips (harvester) 18pp
sweetcorn & coleslaw from the salad bar 3pp
honey & mustard dressing 1pp
3sundae spoons of icecream (the whole sundae is only 7pp) so i'll point 2pp

*2 meringue nests 2pp

Thrilled with my running pace today!!! 10mins 42secs per mile!!!!!!!! Over the moon!!

Last time I ran around burrator i did it in 44mins this time 41mins 13secs. My dad ran alongside me today I also paced myself with people in front. There were 2 women running and from the start i knew i wanted to over take them, which i did then i kept pace with another lady runner never letting her out of my sights. Seemed to work pretty well.

Oh well done! That's amazing! Pure dead brilliant!

Re your weight - I really think you need to speak to a trainer or something! All that running is gonna affect your intake/burning and I suspect u need to be really high protein and carbs! Don't think stnd pro points is appropriate. I know u worked out u earned/burned 850 cals from last run but it's bound to make a diff what kind of food! Marathon runners overload on carbs b4 a run... Must be really frustrating for you and there's bound to be a simple solution..

 

[summergurl]

Am just not sure though - I can defo see on the days i run i really do need to up my food intake a bit more just so i am defo over the 1200 calorie mark i think thats vital. Its a scary thought though, all this time thinking yep exercise + good food = losing weight and here I am putting it on or staying the flippin same

 

[Zebs07]

But hey lets not forget ur looking and feeling slimmer so it's also bound to be that muscle weighing heavier than fat thing....

 

[summergurl]

LOL I am defo getting more shape to me thats for sure. I just wish the weight would drop.

Its going to be trial and error but i will get there. All my holiday clothes from 1.5years ago still fit so it cant be thaaaaaaaaaaat bad although i would like to drop atleast a stone before my first holiday in june.

 

[Zebs07]

I been a googling. Basically there is an 18% density difference in muscle/fat so although also a pound of muscle is same weight as a pound of fat, it takes up less space; hence slimmer and new shaped you!

Overall you have to try ignore STS on scales for the moment I think and guage by mirror/clothes/measuring tape! And I still think you need to spk to an expert about which foods to eat and when...

Ok shutting up now! But just remember ur doing soooo well...

Well done on the run times Tan xx

Have to ask what meringue nest do you have that is only 1pp???

 

[summergurl]

Just a small one chick I buy them in a pack of 8.

I can't afford to speak to a professional but I will defo take my measurements tomorrow I forgot to do that this week.

Will check out them links when I get on the computer thanks chick xx

 

[RetailChick]

Hmm mine are teeny too.....but only come in a pack of 6......must have look and see if I can find some other ones

 

[summergurl]

I will double check later on hun but im sure theyre 1pp will let you know x

 

[JanD]

The Asda ones ae deffo - I got tesco ones this time and haven't pointed them assuming they'd be the same - I'd better do that! ... I DID know about the cereal bars but thanks Tan ..... I think Vanessa makes good points. Most cetainly don't be beating yourself up whatever those pesky scales say! Not till you've got this sorted!! You're doing soooo well xx

 

[summergurl]

Sod it sunday?! :giggle: no not quite! lol That meal was huuuuuuuuge!!! Had a bit of coleslaw & sweetcorn from the salad bar along with 1/2 ladle of honey & mustard dressing. Didnt eat all my meal but did manage a couple mouthfulls of icecream afters. Just about to update points think i'll overestimate rather than under! I was tempted to have a glass of rose with my meal today but resisted!

Thought you might have known already Jan but mentioned it anyways as I know you have them Have to say they were pretty nice!

Told ya so! Seriously Tan, run with someone a bit quicker than you and you will improve no end.....is there a running club or hash house harriers near you? Even one session a week would benefit you......you are doing brilliant!

 

[summergurl]

I can't Sandra, funds are limited and I couldn't justify paying money just to run with others.

It was a superb feeling over taking someone though

 

[SandraB]

Hash house harriers is free! I used to run with them here and in Bermuda ...... I've belonged to a couple of clubs and only ever paid to enter races not just for training runs. Find out some more, you never know?

 

[kered]

I am baking peanut m&m brownies using Jamie plovers 30min meal recipe. Brownies is one thing that for some reason I can never ever get right!!!!

If they do turn out right I intend to indulge, deuces to the scales!!!!!

I was half watching Jamie 30 minute meals today as I was knitting, the meals did look fab.

Well done on the run Tanya, great that you beat your previous time and well done on the over-taking.

Great idea to join a free running club, where you only pay for prices. Have a google of it chick.

 

[JanD]

Well done for resisting that rose hon ... I don't care what those rotten old scales say - you are doing brilliantly!!!! xx

 

[summergurl]

I have just woken from a 6 hour nap! Thats my sleep for tonight well and truely messed up.

Considering staying up now untill about midday and then going back for a couple more hours before training tomorrow evening.

Not going to weigh myself, i still havnt been You can really see it in my belly. Not actually "it" but you know what i mean! LOL

Going to weigh in on friday from now on. Kinda makes more sense really especially if im not drinking on weekends i do tend to eat more. Sorry if you guys think im being chicken about the whole thing

I really want to lose atleast 1st before my 1st holiday which is 21weeks away!
