Sarah's Target & 10K Mission

Massive run fail! Again! Everything hurt, it was a bitter head wind most of the way, I felt like everyone was staring at me. I hated every minute! Route ended up being 3k but I walked some of it.

Got home and Dave is out on a ride so I can't even have a cuddle. Boo!

Gonna put dinner on and sulk until he gets home!xx

Oh Sarah :( sorry to hear that mate. I hate runs like that. They always come to me after I think I've had a really good run, it almost feels like punishment for actually thinking in improving! Are you warming up enough etc before you get going? Xx

Same for me, Pip. I did so well on Sunday!

I stretched and foam rolled my calves. I guess it was the toning I did yesterday as my body is really not used to that. Still disappointing but at least I finished my loop rather than turning round after 500m and coming home xx

You did it! It doesn't matter how far you went or how bad it was...you got home, got out and didn't turn back. I always find they are the biggest hurdles when doing any form of exercise so don't beat yourself up gorgeous! :) xx

Thanks girlies! I do a runners stretching routine I found on YouTube which has seemed to work well for me. Any advice on what you guys do?

Have had a cuddle from the Farrell and a yummy dinner and all is right with the world again :) xxx

Well done on the loss Hun, just a flying catch up on diaries as only just got in from work. Xx
 
Frustrating with the run but you got out there! I think there may have been something in the air last night though as James had planned 10k but could only do 4. Sometimes it's about recognising that as long as you keep at it you will smash your goals xxxx
 
Morning gorgeous ones!

Happy humps!

Still feeling a little bit grumpy this morning as I didn't sleep very well last night, but today is my last day in the office this week so hopefully it will fly by! WFH tomorrow and then a lovely long (hopefully sunny!) weekend.

Scales were still 11.0 this morning, which I'm delighted about. So hoping for a good result on Monday after tomorrow's fast day and a planned out weekend.

The cupboards are bare, Dave is working overtime tonight and I'm back at ballroom so am trying to come up with a food plan!

Muller Light (99)
Mini cupcake (100)
Tesco Healthy Choices ham, chutney and salad sandwich (288)
Salted popcorn (88)
Raspberries (40)
Chorizo and pearl barley 'risotto' (BBC GF recipe!) (540)
2 finger kitkat (107)

Happy hump lovely!
I slept better than expected last night, so I can understand the grumpyness.
Yay for WFH and a lovely long weekend - hopefully the sun will come out and play.

I dont even know when I last had it! Weekend menu I think! Ooh dancing tonight? Fun! I don't know where you girls get your energy for post work activity! I'm lucky to have energy to watch a show!

You've gotta love chorizo! The spicy one from Tesco is so yummy!

I have to say I struggle with the energy to get my heels on and go to dance because it doesn't start 'til 8.30, but because it's my girly hour of the week with Mum and we love it so much when we get there, it's not that hard :D xxx

That is one mighty fine looking weekend plan! Making my mouth water!!
And I LOVE pearl barley! Defo going to add chorizo to mine next time! delish! xxxx

I've eaten pearl barley in restaurants before but never cooked with it so it'll be an experience! It was a recipe on the Good Food website - will let you know how it goes! Super simple, by the looks of it and hopefully tasty!

Still loving calorie counting - being able to allow for drinking lots of gin and prosecco and not be 'off plan' is mentally really helpful. I'm definitely one of those people who doesn't know when to stop once off the wagon!
