Great to hear grandad is home where he feels most comfortable.
It's mighty hard to control cals right now, so all you can do is exactly what you have been doing. Planning all your food, remaining aware of excess but not beating yourself up over occasions where too much drink or food are involved is how you have been managing to do as well as you have, so just keep at it!

So glad Grandad's home. Hopefully they can have a really good Christmas and stay positive ... you too ya hear??!! xx

 

[summergurl]

I hear x

 

[summergurl]

Just munched a big bag of monster munch (196cals) with my lunch & I bought them cuz I wanted my meanies in my roll and still wanted crisp after!! Lol

 

[JanD]

Funnily enough the meanies reminded me of monster munch though i always found them to have too strong or 'tangy' a taste x

 

[kered]

I want meanies........lol.

 

[summergurl]

.... 1/2 a arisen flapjack (was 2inch squared so guess a 1inch piece) and another quality street!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kered]

Noooooooo, already had a grab bag of S+V

 

[summergurl]

Meanies are only 83calories a bag

...... Adding 2big handfulls of cheesy Doritos & 1/2 fresh baked cheese twist.

Fair to say I've fallen off that bus with a big massive thud today

Back aboard tomorrow.

Urgh Christmas.... While it's a lovely time, I think it's fair to say it's also a massive pain in our arses. Why does Christmas = food!!! Whhhy?!

I am really sorry to hear about your Grandad Tanya, nothing could have prepared you for that. So with all things considering I think you are doing really well. Stay strong. Xx

My toe has flared up again. I damaged it a couple of years ago when I fell down the stairs in a lecture theatre and saturday night it was hurting, even though I was sat down allllll night and then sunday it was horrendous. Today its the same. I think the cold is getting to the joint as I cant seem to get my feet warm. Its difficult to walk on at the min. Runs this week should be fun

Oh bummer about the toe, just when you want to do lots of partying. I hope it gets better quickly.

 

[JanD]

Oh Nooooo re the toe .. what a bummer xx

 

[summergurl]

Yeah the toes a pain. It's the one next to my big toe on the right foot. I swore I broke it but the docs told me I never! It's never been right since but v.bad last couple days.

Edit for today above. Munched half a pack of cheddars in work, some sticky toffee cheese when home & 1/2slice of wm bread with ff Philly!!!!!

Need to get a grip for the next 3days.
Damage control is needed after Sunday's & Monday's feast!!!!!!

 

[kered]

Poor you, hope that toe is soon better hun.

 

[summergurl]

Run today. I knew I wouldnt managed 5miles so set out with the mind frame (after seeing a quote from a runner of one of the podcasts I listen to) of making the miles count.

So did a 3miler with a faster pace.
33:26
11:08pace p/mile.

Toe was ok. Painful to start with but couldnt feel it after first mile.

I'll be counting the cals for the next 3days, but from friday im going to relax a little. I know there will be a gain after christmas but i'm determined not to make it a big one so will still note down food. The alcohol is going to be the main problem!

Also tried a new breakfast today before running. Seemed to do ok.
