♥~ Tanya's Maintainence Diary - Year 3 - Diary of a runner! ~♥

[irish molly]

Great to hear you have planned races for next year. The running seems key in your maintenance regime do keep it up.

 

[summergurl]

I'm looking forward to race day! but, I know there's going to be a long hard slog in between!!

 

[irish molly]

No one better than you to cope!

 

[summergurl]

Ah thanks Molly

Dad has opened a bottle of red so having some of that. I will work out the total cals for today tomorrow.

I was going to go for a run tomorrow morning but the Xmas coca cola truck is in town so me & mum are guna go see it (we both LOVE the Xmas truck coca cola advert every year and this is the first year we've known it to be in Plymouth - I didn't even know it was a real touring truck until about a week ago ) defo a worthy excuse to miss a run then its home to bake. Lee has to take goodies back to camp; chocolate cake, flapjack & muffins. Good job, means I won't eat them! Lol x

 

[irish molly]

I didn't know the truck was "real". That's lovely to see it. I love that ad. Enjoy and also enjoy the baking. Lucky bro getting a stash of yummy goodies!!

 

[summergurl]

Molly I'm sure its coming to ireland at some point have a look on coke zone website x

 

[JanD]

Oooo I didn't know it was real either Cool!

Wow Tan - A six-seven month plan! Looks Fab - Go you xx

 

[summergurl]

A long plan but I like to plan! :giggle: I figure if I can get to solid 5milers it'll stand me in good stead come January when I start a half marathon plan. Got plenty of weeks too to allow for illness/horrible icy wintery weather/injuries (touch wood on that one though!)

Today was ok. I wish I could have gone this evening to see the truck when it'll have been all lit up but it still felt v.christmasy! :109:

After that I came back and spent nearly 5hours baking! I've done Lee a chocolate cake, flapjacks & chocolate chip muffins to take back to camp as he's going in the field for a week and is guna take them with him and a batch of cupcakes for home.

Mum made dinner again and cuz i couldnt be bothered to cook mine i had what they had ....

Pizza is heavy on the cals. About an 1/8 of a thin crust is 250 ish depending on toppings. Fries are prob about 150 if it amounted to 3-4 ounces.

 

[JanD]

I think you're a star, baking all that for the bro and sending it all off with him! xx

 

[kered]

About 2000 Sounds lovely though.

I also admire you for doing all that baking and not over indulging in the goodies. I bet your Brother will enjoy all the effort though.

 

[summergurl]

I have looked on asda website and taken figures from their pizzas as I can't find em on sainsburys and i've rounded em up to be on the safe side. So menu is updated for today ^

Molly what pizzas do you have that are 250cals per 1/8th??!! I only know of takeaway pizzas that are that high! lol

 

[irish molly]

Sorry, thought it was a takeaway pizza.

 

[summergurl]

Oh phew!! LOL

 

[summergurl]

Having a glass of red in bed

I'll be back on the bus tomorrow! Buying a week ticket

 

[kered]

All definitely on that bus tomorrow........Blackpool..........Brighton..............or Bognor?

 

[MiniB]

What a plan! Hope you enjoy the race next week. Another half marathon too, that's around the same time my daughter will be getting married. If you have a target you want to crack, if anyone can do it Tanya, it's you!!

 

[summergurl]

Mary, how about somewhere far more exoctic with plenty of sun?!!! :giggle:

Ah thanks Bev

Right, I have given away my crisps and today all I am buying at shopping is fruit & plenty of veg. I'm stocked up on fresh chicken & salmon so there is no reason now for me to eat anything other that whats on my plans. (except if I venture into the cupboards downstairs which I am not going to do!!!!) But i'm not giving up my alcohol on weekends, its just not going to happen, sorry!! will post up my plan later on once i've typed it up.

Determined now to get some weight off before I start my 1/2 training in January. Preferably I want the majority gone before xmas (4weeks 3days to burn off as much as I can).

Runs this week will be 4milers tomorrow & thursday and then my 5k (3miles) on sunday.

I've set an 8week challenge to get back down to 11st 10lbs. We'll see on friday how much weight I need to lose. Last weigh in I was 12st 7&3/4lbs, I know there will be a gain so maybe i'll need to lose a stone, maybe more? hopefully not too much more.

But 8 weeks takes me to 16th January which is when i'll start 1/2 marathon training
