I'm not keen on the overnight oats, many people have them but it's just not for me.
Aren't horses lovely, I'm lucky enough that where I work our office overlooks a field of horses with another field of horses across the road.

Well done for resisting the bad stuff on both days- that's excellent will power and you will be rewarded! I think that you have done really well to find a good balance and still enjoy yourself
I hope that you're having a good time!

Thanks Ruth, I think the motivation around here can be contagious. It's a good place to be. Everyone is aiming for a similar goal and trying hard to achieve it.
Just had another good hard ride to a station about 12 miles away. Feeling hungry now, glad I had a Banana ( in a banana guard) in my ruck sack.

B. Banana pre club bike ride
L. After 28 miles, scrambled egg and beans on toast at cafe, bound to have syns, was wm toast buttered. 2 syns for brown sauce,pot of tea.
I came 3rd in the sprint , woohoo! I did lead a mate out and he won it. However, I was really struggling in the hills, or any elevation for that matter. I really need to ditch the weight to make it easier.
I did another Garmin atrocity and missed about 6 miles, so the ride total was about 46-50 miles.
Feeling better than I thought , got some energy left to mow around the other farm.

Your food sounds wonderful and great for post riding! I'm sure you will be fine with the cafe lunch- much needed calories after all of that exercising!!
