getting back to target - one day at a time

Yeah its good when you don't have to snack, we have a lazy day so could go either way lol. Not in a mood as in a bad mood, sorry, just mean I can't seem to stick to it, only going over a little but still that's not like me, so just think if I try and restrict myself too much I'll just go the other way instead. I ate loads last week after my half marathon and lost 1/2 lb so as I've not gone over by nearly as much hopefully I'll pull off another loss even though I haven't run quite as far. As long as its not a gain I'll be a happy bunny. No gains until Easter ;) and even then I plan on having a really long run on the Saturday to try and counteract the bad food I'll be eating all weekend.
 
Ah thats good then lol we all get those moods. We also all have those times when you feel like your head just isnt in the game. Continue what your doing you will be fine and im sure the scales will be good to you x
 
I'm blaming the running, it makes me crave lots of stodgy bready cakey things lol. But I'm happy I haven't gone over by crazy amounts, especially yesterday as my long runs seem to be my danger point.... unless that's more when I've had a race and am on a high from that. Better not happen next Sunday as its only a 10k lol.

Hopefully we'll both still manage a loss this week, good luck hun.
 
I dont run and I crave stodgy lol so whats my excuse?? Im a greedy git lol.

Fingers crossed for WI hun xx

Awww donna sorry hun. Its crap innit. Im not hoping for much tomorrow my scales aint budged at all this week :(
 
I'll keep fingers crossed for you that you have a loss even if its a small one. It is rubbish isn't it. Hopefully next week will be a double loss, but I doubt it, my body doesn't tend to do double losses.
 
How did your WI go texty?


So far so good for me this week 2 whole days absolutely 100% on plan lol. I counted the lean mince my mum used in the pasta bol instead of extra lean and I didn't touch the lovely part baked bread she put out in the middle of the table. Feeling rather good.

Tomorrow will be a little different to usual Thursdays, boyfriend will be late back from work so we won't have time for tea before I go running, I asked if he wanted me to have mine and save him some or if he wanted to wait until 9-ish when I'm back from running and he went with waiting until later, so around 6-ish I'll have a snack so I'm not running on an empty stomach.

Slight changes to todays plan, cheese sauce really didnt work :( so hea was 2 laughing cow light blue cheese on 3 ryvita with pumpkin seeds topped with apple, pear and 20g low fat cheese (so heb changed as well)

Then for my syns I had a double decker for 14... OMG I forgot how nice they are!!! Absolutely gorgeous, kind of sad that I wont have one again for a very long time as it was one from a selection box I got at christmas... but at 14 syns I maybe that's a good thing lol


Race has been cancelled this weekend so not sure whether I'm running tomorrow or Sunday.... have a basic food plan mapped out in my head but it does depend on when I run.
 
Today - EE


Breakfast - 2 sausages (1 syn) beans, fried eggs, mushrooms, grilled tomato and bacon
Lunch - not sure yet.... don't know what I fancy
Tea - salmon and prawn carbanara (made with quark)
Snacks - 2 ryvita fruit crunch (HEB) with chocolate philli (6 syns) and a banana, fruit, crabsticks, not sure on rest of my syns... I have some crisps at 3.5, some chocolates for 5 and mikado sticks... so will just see what I fancy later, oh and HEA will probably be milk in drinks if I don't have cheese for lunch...
 
Tomorrow plans for my run have changed again, going on a 13 mile run with some people from my running club, really looking forward to it but its thrown my plans for syns in the air as I will need my running gels ect.

Sunday - Green

Breakfast - porridge with strawberries and banana (HEA and HEB)
Lunch - veg omelette with beans
Tea - quorn chilli and wedges topped with cheese (HEA)
Snacks - running gel (5 syns) either another running gel or small pack of jelly babies (either 4 syns or 3.5 syns) chocolate philli (6 syns) with banana on 2 ryvita fruit crunch (HEB) rice pudding with berries, pineapple, apple, kiwi and yogurt, pear, orange.
 
Just had 3 of my valentines chocs for 5 syns, so 12 so far for today... hoping I can keep it at that


Oh and tomorrow it will be jelly babies and not another gel by the looks of it as my mum hasn't been in touch and she was going to see if she could pick some up.
 
Hi and thankyou.

My mums been running a lot longer then me, im actually quite new to it, started in September last year.sorry to hear about your ankle, one of our friends is having ankle trouble and trying some exercises to try and strengten them, im not sure what shes doing but its worth looking online to see if theres any suggestions for exercises there. Good luck


i ended up only doing 10 miles, we couldnt do the route we wanted too but it was a hard run with snow and mud. Loved it though :) didnt use my gel or jally babies as just didnt think about it but i did have an energy sweet for 1.5 syns. Going to have my choc philli - 6 and 3 valentines chocs - 5 syns might have the bag of crisps if i really wabt them later, 3.5 so will take me slightly over but i havent had my full 15 any day this week so if i do decide to have them it wont be the end of the world
