Hey Texty_F, what a lovely day! Walked horses over to another paddock, mowed the lawn and sprayed the weeds one the patio, glamorous stuff. Just had a relax, sat on the lawn and chat with mrs Quins and eldest daughter, lovely. Got a trail run lined up for when I take up youngest to swim club, then I'm looking forward to late dinner, roast lamb ( hex b) , then hopefully, half man half settee! What about you?

Mega lazy one for me - my Sundays are spent playing taxi to OH and son, I drop them off at the pub and then pick them up again at 6. The sun has gone in here but its still lovely. Im thinking tomorrow may go for a long leisurely walk with OH and stop off at a pub somewhere for a drink (soft one for me of course) then that will give me an appetite for my tea tomorrow night. Its just good to get out in the fresh air for a change

Missed a couple of days
Today a great day. Great ride with club, B+ group, monster sprint effort in a small group 4 miles out , epic train home , I ripped my legs off, hit the front for about 3 seconds but dug in to come about 3 rd. bloody hard. It's a massive thrill riding like that.
BBQ down our lane. Wonderful food and company.
Another 46 miles ridden. So hard but so enjoyable .

248 miles walked and jogged , walked 12 miles last week, 260 miles total (500 last year)
223 miles cycled , another 44 miles yesterday , 267 miles total
No running in the week trod on a couple of sharp large stones that bruised my sesamoid and really felt the cycling well into Wednesday.
Back on plan today ,,enjoyed the BBQ with neighbours, beautiful lamb joint and beef cooked on barbs along with chicken and proper meaty sausages. Loads of salads, I declined the puddings stuck to my cider perry and a glass or two of red. Great afternoon.
Texty_F , I will have to cut myself a deal on these syns, I will have to haggle with myself!! I think I used up all of them.... I have seen people write that they used flexy syns, can anyone explain what that is?

Using flexi syns is pre-arranged, so for example yesterday you knew you'd be having cider perry & wine so you'd agree with yourself you'd have 30 syns, for example, the whole day, then when you've got to 30 you stop having syns, you then get up the next day & carry on as normal but you have to be prepared for a STS or gain at next WI.
I have my syns on a weekly basis, just because I always have wine & chocs with Babs on a Saturday night & 15 syns just doesn't go anywhere with wine & chocs!! so I count down from 105, it works for me, maybe you could try it for this week.
