Hi! I'm Zoe and I want to lose 2 stone and run 2 marathons this year. This is my diary.
I lost just over three stone last year, but have been stagnating over the last few months - as my training has increased, so has my appetite! So I joined slimming world last night to make sure that the vast quantities of food I'm consuming at the moment are as healthy as possible!
My two marathons are Paris on 7th April and the New Forest Marathon on 22nd September. Paris is in just over 4 weeks, so I'm at peak training now, running 30-40 miles a week. And I'm hungry all the time! (Except today - slimming world is great because it gives me permission to eat as much healthy food as I like, whereas I've spent the last month not eating enough and then falling into a bucket of sweets!
It's tricky to get to grips with, and today I made one fatal error - I had rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. I thought as long as I took the skin off it'd be okay, but apparently not...waitrose say nothing is added to their chickens, but lesson learned, I won't risk it again.
so today:
B - 2 slices wholemeal toast (hexb) with 2 fried eggs. Banana.
L - homemade tomato rice with courgette, peppers, onion and green beans, chicken breast (x2 - I was so hungry I ate tomorrow's portion as well!)
T - rotisserie chicken (leg & breast), mashed sweet potato and butternut squash (made with 1.5 tsp olive oil - 3 syns), small bunch of grapes
S - skinny latte (hexa), 25g dark chocolate (7 syns)
im going to ignore the rotisserie chicken as nothing was added, so today I have had 10 syns.
exercise: 3.7 mile run, average pace 9.26 (35 mins)
Pedometer says: 15687 steps
