Quick update on my C25k... W1D3 complete! Very windy and rainy tonight, which I thought made it harder, but all in all, not too bad.
I've never ever done anything like this before - used to skip all my PE lessons at school and have avoided exercise ever since. Don't get me wrong, every step of the running I wonder why on earth I'm doing it, but it's actually giving me real satisfaction

Very late home tonight, with no dinner planned, so had Chinese, but tried to pick sensibly. Checked on the syn forum for values, but they all looked pretty low, so I've estimated at 15!

Had major cravings for junk food today, but have managed not to succumb. I'm feeling a bit down because I've injured my leg and now have pills for it, but it means I can't resume C25k until it's healed. I can't even believe that it's bothering me - I've never liked exercise and now I'm gutted because I can't!

Bad planning and no time at lunch, which led to me being hungry all afternoon and evening, and ended up eating junk. Not good, but will draw a line under it and get back on board tomorrow.
One good thing today - hubby weighed in and has now lost 8lb! Yippee!

Day 17 EE
Breakfast
Alpen light (hexb), apple and FF yoghurt.
Lunch
Ham, pepper, shallot, potato, egg and cheese (5) frittata.
Dinner
The most divine chicken nuggets, wedges in Cajun spices, grilled tomatoes and peas.
Chicken nuggets were inspired by a minimims recipe, basically chicken breast cut into small chunks, dipped in beaten egg, then rolled in smash powder. We did some with plain smash, some with Cajun spices mixed in with the smash, and some with curry powder. They were delish, and free!
Snacks
None - went to a cafe that does homemade cakes, and managed to resist!
Drinks
Tea (hexa)
1l water
Diet coke
Total syns (so far!) - 5

Day 18 EE
Breakfast
Activia fat free, grapes
Lunch
Jacket spud, butter (2), ham, tomato and cucumber
Dinner
Mediterranean chicken bake. Homemade using chicken thighs (boneless and skinless), garlic, courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes and fresh Rosemary, and a veg stock cube. It was possibly the nicest thing I've eaten since starting SW!
Snacks
Alpen light (hexb)
Three spoons of plain ice cream (2.5?)
Drinks
Tea (hexa)
Diet coke
Total syns so far - 4.5, but will probably have a fudge later (6)
Did our food shopping today, and I have to say, the difference in our cupboards and fridge from three weeks ago is amazing! I really feel like we've made some really positive lifestyle changes, which all three of us are benefitting from. Sooo glad I've joined SW and minimins. It's been the kick up the bum I've needed.

It was a long day, completely unplanned food wise as I was away unexpectedly. But, think I managed to stay on plan, if I call it a green day, as I didn't manage the superfree. Does it look ok?!
