I still run with friends - its a social thing for me, but I don't tend to push myself as hard - I just enjoy its nice to have options, isn't it? Rather than, I ate that choc so MUST work it off!

I should be ok then! Will start doing a bit of yoga from tomorrow I think. Only exercise I really enjoy apart from swimming and a nice walk.

That sounds a perfect combination I was shattered yesterday think I did too much over the 3 days need to start doing the weights he recommends x I'm loving it though and down 4lb without feeling deprived at all I'm so happy I started this x

You can do this Red. So much easier and feel good than the Dukan thing. Still think you need to eat more for breakfast though! I think maybe you're right on the almond milk. Okay in moderation but they recommend coconut milk (yum) as a staple. I'm off to get me some of that today I think.

Have a fabulous day x

Your probably right just not overly hungry in a morning ....I can't find unsweetened coconut milk which is why I got the almond milk ...o well thrown the rest now but must read that book !!!!!! But yeah I feel so much better and this morning when I looked I was actually 7lb down from when I weighed on Monday although I actually started on Sunday but was too scared to weigh x

Hmmm. I'll have a scout around my local shops and see where I find it. Imagine the health food shops will have it if nowhere else. I live in the back end of nowhere so if I can find it...

Well done on that loss. Fantastic honey!

 

[Rednicola]

Holland and Barrett do Dairy Free Coconut Milk | Holland and Barrett

or Tesco do a T Free-From Coconut Milk Drink 1L - Groceries - Tesco Groceries

and I'm sure they do a fresh Coconut milk in the chiller.They did have a special fixture in the chiller section with diff things on.

Sainsburys is 99p http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp

O thank you so much will go on the hunt tomorrow and keep you posted xx

Just got back from shopping. Found a cheap unsweetened coconut milk in my local greengrocers (79p a can) but didn't want any additives in it ideally so bought it from my local health food shop instead. They also sell a couple of different brands in the COOP (Amoy and Blue Dragon) but at over £2 a can I was glad I'd already bought in the health food shop. How's your day been? My thighs are killing from yesterday's workout. Looked like a cripple hobbling around town. Not sure if I should push to do today's workout or whether it'll be too much.

O fab I'm gonna go to the health food shop tomorrow to see what I can find ...I've got the kara coconut milk but looking at the ingredients I don't think it's ideal x I've had a good day had a rest day today ....well rest from the gym as been working and then had a lovely facial so that was nice x I think it's best to listen to your body I know she suggests everyday but you dont want to stress your body too much as mark recommends ...I've been on his website today (when I should have been working) I think it's amazing x
