Hotpot was lamb steaks, carrots, celery, onion, 300ml chicken stock, 1/2tbsp onion gravy granules, mixed herbs and bay leaf. Sliced potatoes on the top. Covered in oven for 1.5 hours at 170 degrees. Then uncover for 15-20 minutes.
I was so happy with how I got on, 9.3 miles on a treadmill though... BORINGGGGG

How did you do that Jen? I really struggled doing 2 runs on the treadmill last week (5k and 7k)... I found I was going slower too?! It was just sooooo boring. I can't remember my pace cus it's done by the hour on the treadmill and in km rather than miles but I was around 33 or 34 mins for the 5k I think. I did have it on an incline of 2 though as I read somewhere that's how you can mimick a road.
I missed uploading it to strava/garmin too

Same! I was gutted that it didn't show on strava. And calorie wise, totally different to what my watch said, to what the machine said. I usually just leave it on 0.5% gradient, and i set it for 6.2 miles per hour. It took me just over 1hr 30mins.
They have TV's so watched a bit of TV, put some music on, kept changing it up, having a glance round at others. I knew I had to get it done, and I knew i didn't fancy the wind/rain/hail outside....

Hope you don't mind....I stole your idea and bought myself a sistema Davina 700 ml pink water bottle ! And a 17piece food storage set so I can carry fruit and veg on the go rather than carry alpen bars
Ooooooh what's this 17 pc set? I am a sucker for tupperware!!
Is that a SW recipe? I tweaked one last year from BBC GF website (my fave) and it's yum! A staple in my diet now! x

Well... To be honest, I usually put weight on when I'm upping my miles, and I would have expected to lose more considering how good I've been this week, so I don't think it massively helps the weight loss, but it does help with toning and changing my shape.
