I was getting up early to go for a run, but my bedroom is freezing from leaving the window open, so im still snuggled in bed refusing to get up until it warms up..!! Poor excuse, but I am meant to be running at lunchtime, weather dependant, so if that doesn't work I will run when I get home tonight. It's only 2 miles, so an easy run.
I went to bed so hungry last night!!! I was determined not to go over my cals though. It had better pay off come weigh day on Friday!

Hi Shazz, if your weather was anything like ours today you did your 2 miles on the treadmill! xx

Yes weather was pretty awful yesterday, so no lunchtime run and I was too hungry to run when I came in...oops!! Oh well will see if I can add the 2 miles onto today or at the w/e.
House rules are going well so far and much easier than I thought they would be. The one I thought O/H would really struggle with is not adding salt to his food, but it doesn't seem to bother him??
Incidentally I am up very early as my daughter has been up in the night with bad dreams. I am waiting for her to go back to sleep, then will see if I can get my run in. Failing that will wait until her nap time and try then.
It is my day off today, so day will be spent cleaning, washing and ironing....!! I know how to live it up, lol

This morning I had a go at HIIT training. I used my exercise bike, x-trainer and treadmill and did 45 secs of really intense exercise, then 15 secs of rest. I did 5 reps on each piece of equipment. I was amazed at how quickly the calories were burning and how much I was sweating!!!! The bonus is it only took 25 mins start to finish!!
The afterburn is also meant to be good

HIIT is amazing, so so good for you! I used to do it when I lost weight before and it was great, I should probably get back into doing it again really. There was a Horizon programme on last week called The Truth About Exercise and the guy was looking into claims that 3 minutes of HIIT a week is all that's needed to improve fitness dramatically. I'm still not 100% convinced but it was interesting.

Interesting, I watched the programme too and ever since have been looking into it. Will be very interesting to see how you get on Shaz.

I think HIIT is certainly worth looking into Claire.
I have had my best week calorie counting for quite a while and I end up putting on 1.25lb...!!! What's that about!!!!
O/H will be phoning for his test results this morning, so fingers crossed they will be ok.
He has done so well sticking to the new house rules, I'm really proud of him. He lost another lb this week, so that has motivated him a bit more.. He gets to have alcohol tonight!
Not sure if my drinking night is tonight or 2moro, depends which day I run. I normally run on a Sunday, but we are having a family party on Saturday night, so thinking of doing it Saturday morning instead so I can join in the celebrations, (I dont drink the day before a run). Think the weather is pretty crappy both days, so that doesn't make a difference. Ok decision made, run 2moro, then I can enjoy the party 2moro night!!
