Oh dear oh dear Had a forum meet in Liverpool today. Lunch, coffee, tea, and a slice of cake were involved Also a bit of chocolate and cider.....
Ok, I know the whole week isn't lost as I've been VERY good on my good days, but I feel like a right wally for having 2 days away from SW. Might go for a run tomorrow
No plans at all for going out or anything next week as I am SUPER poor after this week. So I should be kept nice and busy & active with my voluntary work, as well as walking my hounds. Fingers crossed eh?!

[cheekychinchilla]

Putting this in here too because I'm rather proud of it to be honest...even if it's not quite right to get my awards that's a LOT of exercise!!!! :O

Right, I have just gone through my diary since I re-started after Xmas and worked out how many minutes a week over how many sessions/days I have done. It was a bit of a shock
Just to clarify, I include my voluntary work at the vets because it is such a physical job. I don't think I have ever sat down at that place, it's hotter than a sauna, is spread out over 3 floors with very steep stair cases, and you honestly never stop! So I'm not cheating by including this, it really is like a workout!!
Anyway, here's what I've worked out and what I think I have achieved so far. Please do tell me if I have gone wrong anywhere....

Week 1: 270mins over 2 days (doesn't count )
Week 2: 512mins over 4 days.
Week 3: 672mins over 5 days.
Week 4: 1080mins over 6 days.
Week 5: 250mins over 3 days. This should entitle me to my Bronze award now??
Week 6: 1025mins over 6 days.
Week 7: 750mins over 4 days.
Week 8: 515mins over 4 days (this didn't include the hours and hours of walking around Birmingham and Crufts that week!)
Week 9: 905mins over 6 days. This should entitle me to my Silver award??!!
Week 10: 1375mins over 7 days.
Week 11: 920mins over 5 days.
Week 12: 445mins over 4 days.
Week 13: 660mins over 4 days.

So, if that is all ok I can add TWO awards to my sig?!

Week 14

Took Davey for a short walk because I'd decided to see how Ellie would go on a full run. We've been doing a couple of practice runs on our walks and she looked happy enough to do it. Bloody hell!! I seriously underestimated how fit that dog is I was worried because she has just turned 9 and I haven't run her since she was diagnosed with her illness last year. I think it's safe to say that she will be more than happy to accompany me on the shorter runs. Will obviously keep an eye on her and keep the vet informed, but all seems fine.

She's never had a Flexi before because they've not made decent ones for large dogs before, and she has to be kept on a lead. It was fantastic and she was so happy!

Hello Cupcake Katie Nice to have a new visitor!
I think it's safe to say that the middle of this week wasn't the best couple of days I've had in a while, but the end of the week has more than made up for it. I got that email from the tropical school of medicine (eeeeeep!), my new camera arrived on Friday, and last night I went to see Biffy Clyro at the Winter Gardens and they were AWESOME!!! Gonna have to count yesterday as a flexi day unfortunately, but I will write down what I had. I will also donate the 23.5 syns I'd saved through the week as well as yesterdays syn allowance, so shouldn't effect me too much. I hope not!! I was a bit more naughty than I'd hoped. I'm sure I'll learn eventually

Saturday: Green Day

Lunch: Left over pasta bake (cheese was one Hex B) with salad, syn free dressing and a little less than 1tbsp of extra light mayo (0.5 syns)

Tea: Quorn steak on wholemeal bread (HexB + 2syns), low fat cheese (HexA), mustard (1 syn), light mayo (2 syns), and tomato sauce (1 syn)

And a Club biscuit (5 syns)

Drinks: coffee (milk as HexA 2) 2 Budweisers at the gig (6.5 syns each, so 13 syns)

Flexi day today: Using syns saved (23.5) and yesterdays allowance (15) towards the day tho.
That works out to 50.5 :cry: So that's an over syn of 12. Bugger!

Lunch: 2 slices of wholemeal bread (HexB 1 + 2), 2 turkey rashers (3), 1 Quorn sausage, 2 boiled eggs, and 1tbsp of tomato sauce (1)

Drinks: Coffee (milk as HexA 1) Diet Coke.

Syns used: 15
