Scarlett to target one day at a time

[Rochelle1]

Ooh that sounds good! I've got some creamed coconut, might have to try it! Do you know how much she used? X

The recipe in the book says 175g pudding rice to 15g creamed coconut and that makes it 6 syns for the whole lot x

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Ok fab thanks xx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Ooh your walk for this evening sounds lovely I can't wait for the warmer months so I can go back on the sea front.

At least you get your hangers and mash soon if not today

 

[donna88]

I agree about cous cous being bland at times, I always use a lot of seasoning and stock instead of water as well.

 

[ScarlettStar86]

I hated it first time I tried it, def better with seasoning etc.

On our way back from Brighton, had a lovely walk from the marina to the pier and back so just over 5k. Sun was setting over the pier it was beautiful! Unfortunately though we went as soon as I got in and had dinner and I didn't change my shoes turns out these boots were t made for walking! My feet are now 2 big blisters, ouch!

I'm going to sleep well tonight! So tired it feels like a Thursday or Friday!

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Ouch. Looks like you had a lovely time though

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Haha on my phone each time I tried to add the pic it said it failed, I didn't mean to add it a million times lol xx

[donna88]

I've been very tired this week as well, also think it feels more like a Thursday, I have running training tonight and a 5 mile race tomorrow night as well.... hopefully the rest of the week will go quite quickly.

Pictures look lovely hope your feet feel better today

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Thanks hun. Your running sounds great! What sort of times do you get, For instance what's your 5k average?
We do a 5k walk at least once a week and want to start building it up gradually to a jog then a run. Need some proper running shoes this time as I roll my feet inwards quite drastically so need high support motion control ones or something. Any tips of good places to buy that are reasonably priced Donna? Don't want to spend a fortune.

It was such a beautiful evening, so still the sea was like glass. Very unusual for Brighton as usually you get blown away! We are hoping to be able to do the seafront walks more over the summer. Living where we are we are 30 mins away from worthing, Brighton, Littlehampton, and all the little seaside towns between them so spoilt for choice. X

If you run funny you're better off going to a shop like he runs she runs and they can tell you which trainers you need, ask them to show you the cheaper range... once you've found which shoes suit you then you can look on ebay and amazon for cheaper ones. I spent a fortune on mine, I went to sweatshop and wish I'd gone somewhere else, but at least now I know which shoes I need so I can get my next lot cheaper when I need new ones.

I'm not sure on what my times are, in training runs I run a lot slower, or do speed intervals and to be honest don't tend to time myself. I ran a 10k race on Sunday and have just got my official time which was 53 minutes 56 seconds (not 54 minutes at all lol)

Sounds amazing, def make the most of it. Will also be good to run along the beach once you start jogging/running as well our closest beach is an hour away.... boyfriends family live near the coast but I don't tend to get time to run when I'm visiting them, I also don't know the area so wouldn't feel too comfortable running by myself, so I'm very jealous.

 

[ScarlettStar86]

I was going to do that but was worried they wouldn't like it if I went in for the run monitoring thing then didn't buy anything there! Will def give it a go now though, suppose can always say I'll think about it if they are too pricy then go elsewhere when I know which I want. Thanks for the advice! X

I tend to go to Go Outdoors for walking boots, walking shoes as they are brill they help you fit them & it's no bother for them to keep trying different shoes. I think they do running shoes as well, but obviously not a large selection.

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Ok thanks Michelle ill see if there's one nearby xx

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Animal biscuits for 5 syns at soft play.
I love being back in the zone and 100% back on plan, feel so much better

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Today's syns total- 5 for animal biscuits, 2 for mikado, 1.5 for sausages, bite and a bit of caramel shortbread call it 4? Was about the same as two of those mini bites you get in sainsburys and those are 2 each. 12.5 total for today, 23.5 total for the week.

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Glad you are enjoying being back on plan.

Re looking and not buying you can always say you need to have a think about it and thank them for their help. I wish I could get nate's feet measured and buy shoes elsewhere but he is such a pain even clark's in the city have 4 choices in their whole range for him. If you can get good shoes for less then go for it.

 

[ScarlettStar86]

That's a good idea fran thanks
Is he a funny size then? Shame they can't just measure him for you then get something online. Clarks have always been expensive, remember it being a big thing choosing shoes from there when I was little as they were pricey! X
