Are you sure raspberry ruffles are only 2.5syns? As i know they are 2.5 ww points....
 
the bars are 6 but the individual sweets are 2.5 according to the body optimise website. Do you think they are higher? Perhaps I should check again?
 
ah that makes sense then, i was talking about the bars :)
I like raspberry ruffles to.
 
29th October 2010

Went to the gym today to see my trainer about my dodgy knees. I really really love running and I don't want to give it up. He showed me some exercises but also told me to go to the shop in meadowhall that tests your gait for appropriate running shoes and told me why.

I bought some running shoes from a shop called vegetarian shoes - I googled vegan running shoes and that was the only option. As soon as I put them on I could feel the difference - they made my feet higher at the outside edges and lower in the inside edges. Scott showed me his trainers on the soles and you can tell by the tread pattern that he runs on the outside of his feet - penny dropped - if I run on the inside of my feet then the trainers I have already could be worsening the problem - that would make sense to be honest. Or perhaps I just want it to make sense to make life easier!

Anyhoo off to the running shop to see how things go.

Good luck at the shop, i need to get some supportive shoes to as my feet turn in a little bit (thank you mum! >.<) and i dont want to end up with problems like her, even tho i have pain already and im only 21!
 
interesting experience at the running shop - they videoed me running and then showed me the results. I have perfect gait which means that the running shoes I had that tilted my feet inwards were innappropriate for me. :eek: Serves me right for not going to get a proper job done in the first place.

That part was quite pleasurable and also..... I got a new sports bra and I had to go and try it on and the sight I saw in the changing room didn't revolt me! :bliss:
I didn't turn face forward, the sight was only from the side - and that was good enough for me at the mo! So! double win at the sports shop, in fact triple win as she also sold me some running socks and they are wonderful as well. :)Hope she is on commission.

So food for today

Breakfast - 2 weetabix and soya milk

Mid - shopping and starving so had a packet of starburst. :eek:

Lunch - small jacket and half a can of beans.

Mid - small apple and a mandarin and 2/3 of a cereal bar and then about 4pm I was hungry and had 2 more weetabix that is my 2nd heb for the day.

Supper - Spag bol with fake beef and lots of veggies and a yogurt - I will have a grapefruit later this evening.

Syns - :eek: starburst - 7, fake meat - 2, cereal bar - 4 and yogurt 2 = total of 15. Over the 10 AGAIN but I feel thinner today - will be interesting to see my weight on Tuesday to see if I am thinner or just imagining things.
 
OOOooh sounds like a very productive day!
