No I found it really tough, the air was so cold and yet I was hot in my jacket, I need to invest in one of those snood things which are suitable for running. I did 4 miles, my mum thinks I should try increasing it a bit more gradually anyway, so I'm going to try for maybe 5 miles this weekend depending on how I feel and then the 10k the weekend after, I'm not rushing though, just whenever I feel ready for it.
Running club have their annual meeting on Thursday so hoping they'll update the club champs and also fee's so I can sign up for some more races just to give me something else to aim for (I know the marathon is a big thing to aim for but would like some little mini aims as well while building up to it.)

Lost 3lbs this week, lets say I'm over the moon.
Think we'll be staying at home for tea tomorrow (usually go to my mums but me and little one seem to be coming down with colds so don't want to pass them on or for little one to get ratty at my mums) if I do then here's the plan for tomorrow
Wednesday 16th Jan - Green
Breakfast - wheatabix made with boiling water and topped with yogurt and berries (HEB)
Lunch - leftover quorn chicken lasagne (HEA)
Tea - meat free chilli with chips and cheese (HEA)
Snacks - 2 ryvita fruit crunch topped with chocolate philli and banana (HEB and 6 syns) something from my graze box (around 6 syns depending on which one has the worse date) fruit

I love that you have a graze box
I couldn't do it if I weren't organised, I did used to be even more so (would plan a few days in advance) but I found that my boyfriend soon put a spanner in the works by deciding he fancied something else or bringing home something to cook when I'd planned something else, so much easier to just plan a day in advance
I seem a bit better but keep getting headaches now and little one is still a bit off, can't decide if its a cold or he's just in a mood. He's still at school though, I can't justify having him off if its just a cold, he'd be off for most of winter if I did lol.

just a quick update about the philli lemon chicken as well, was lovely. My boyfriend made it as he seems to have a better hang of cooking with philli then I do, but all he did was fry off the chicken with some garlic, onions, mushrooms and peppers, added mixed herbs the juice of about half a lemon (well he used less but we have massive lemons in at the minute) seasoned and then added the philli, went lovely with pasta and even little one really liked it. (he had some of my boyfriends when he was distracted by some men coming to sort out the TV)
Ohhhh sounds lovely. How do U make it? How much philli and how many syns? X

For two of us we use half a 300g pack of philli, (so 150g lol, we avoid the smaller packs though as its easier to just use half a pack and not have to weigh it out) that works out at a healthy extra a each
(we use the light philli) So as long as when frying the chicken and veg you use fry light its syn free, just the healthy extra.... or if you wanted to syn it, it would be 6 syns, as lemon juice and herbs ect. are all free. I was thinking of having it with rice but I think it went really well with the pasta though, so think we'll stick with that next time.
