Ooops! Sorry TL - it looks like that was my fault. I must have missed your updated post and cut and pasted a previous one. Is the following now right or do you have other bits to add from this week? xxx

Sookie, I hope your Dad gets better soon. You might not hit your target but do what you can.

Hey Erryn, it's ok, and thanks for rechecking
Update: 2 more classes. With the cycling I've committed to an hour a day on the stat bike now. Started 4 days ago and doing about 22K each time ~ 13.6miles. So adding 54.4miles yay!!

Oh Sookie, I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope he gets better soon. I don't know if it helps or not, but when I went through a really rough patch in my past, I actually found that exercise helped me deal with it a lot better. I used to walk for hours, as fast as I could and it helped no end. I'm now fitter so I run and it only takes me half an hour to 40 minutes to do my 5km. Even just a few minutes could really help you get some headspace. I was talking to my trainer the other day and mentioned that when one of my good friends died, rather than eating my way through it, I jumped on the treadmill. I must have looked ridiculous, running and crying at the same time but it really did help. Big, big hugs to you.

 

[Erryn]

Flipping heck TL - well done indeed! You've smashed your target and there is still another week and a half to go. Awesome stuff.

AFM, yesterday (Saturday) was supposed to be a rest day so I just went for a walk and only burnt 500 calories.

I used to do looooads of walking as I wasn't allowed to do any other form of exercise and it was great... but it stopped working so I had to up the tempo. I still do around 30km a week but it's not my main form of exercise anymore. Boo!

I do weightlifting as well. Lost nearly 40 lbs doing just walking, then had to add more activity in! Might add weightlifting to my challenge next month to make sure I do it more often.

Oh, goodness, sookie, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope your dad has a speedy recovery. xx

I've done 21.27 miles since I last updated. Not quite on track, I don't think, but I can make up for lost time this week, I hope.

Your a star.. I really want to get back out there on my bike, but I'm struggling at the moment to even do housework. I'm
Out the house around 11 and not home till 8.. So everything is put on hold.. Food this week has been a total joke along with the wine.. But kick up butt given to myself and healthy eating to resume Monday... X

[Erryn]

Need to check how many calories I burnt. I've had a stinking cold for the best part of two weeks so was unable to finish with 1000 calories a day. I did get under 10,000 left, so I'm happy with that as a whole. I'm now starting the October challenge! 6 weeks today until I head off to Australia, so I'm starting a new '1000 calorie a day' challenge. I'll make sure I have a rest day once a week though.
