Had a lovely weekend, the bulletproof coffee did the trick on Saturday & all my trainees had a lovely time, I didn't need a shake until 2.30pm.
Yesterday I had a real food day as I was off, had cream cheese on flax bread for breakfast, scrambled eggs & a slice of bacon for lunch and chicken with salad & coleslaw for tea. Back to work today on an early so had a bulletproof coffee to kickstart me into being a functional human being at 6.30am. I plan to have one a maximum of three times a week, they are supposed to be really good to promote fat burning. Will have a shake later for 'lunch' whenever I get hungry and then tea with OH, probably roast vegetables with cheese. We are repeating week 4 of c25k as it was hard, and going to try a slightly different warm up technique.

Hi all! Still here, down to 207lb now. 2 weeks to the wedding!
Just b&ggred my dodgy foot up though :'( it's sooooo painful. Did my 8 min run but as soon as I pulled up to walk it hurt and has been getting gradually more painful, 30/500 cocodamol hasn't touched it
it's got 7 screws in but hasn't been this painful for 3.5 years.

Managed to get my foot sorted with ibuprofen, rest, ice, elevation & massage, so I tried that run again and managed it. Just done my first 20 minute run so that's the end of week 5 it was definitely a shuffle (9 minutes per km = just over 4 miles an hour) but I kept going! Lemon cheesecake shake to refuel, and I've made a fish pie with hidden veg (blitzed spring greens, cabbage & leeks into creme fraiche and used that instead of white sauce, plus cauliflower & sweet potato mash) for tonight at work. Working nights for the next three shifts, and then two weeks off for the wedding
Weight loss is stalling, but that could be due to the ibuprofen I had to take for my foot and/or PMT water retention - I feel good, am sleeping well & not hungry so no worries about motivation. Just bought another load of shakes as OH is using a few each week now too. Cookies & cream is just re-branded vanilla, bleugh, but lemon cheesecake is nice. Looking forward to trying rhubarb & custard!
Have washed up from cooking, just need to put the bins out & hang up the washing then I can go sleep on the sofa with the dog for a little while, then get ready for work!

No, I can't cope with them either - hence starting new flexi-time job in September! Just 2.5 shifts left til 2 weeks off, then just 33 shifts when I get back - counting down...
Fish pie was *amazing* and got the thumbs up from OH too, which is fab as she doesn't usually like fish! I've got a load of fishy coconut milk left over from the poaching, so will make a seafood risotto with that next week, but with cauliflower rice rather than actual rice.
Will have leftovers tomorrow, then am making a layered aubergine-y vegetable dish for tea on Friday with cayenne pepper in. I'm really getting into my cooking now, getting a bit more adventurous about tweaking different recipes from online and just making up random stuff with whatever I have in the fridge. Plus we can still have nachos by slicing sweet potato really thinly & baking it, then piling the toppings on as normal - home made so really healthy with no added sugar etc - guacamole, salsa, chicken & cheese. Nom.
It's someone's birthday at work so I'm surrounded by all sorts of evil non-food going to have a mint chocolate shake as a treat in a bit, so that I feel like I've had something.
