Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I had a very busy day!
The beer festival was fab, we were there from 2.30pm till gone 10pm and had quite a bit of ale! I didn't weigh myself this morning! Not sure I want to know what the damage is yet! Lol!
Food wise I had granola and a shake and then for dinner we had chilli from the beer festival and I had a kit Kat later on coz the booze gave me munchies and I had been craving a pudding after my chilli, silly I know..
So today it was the white nancy breakfast club so we were up at 6.30 to climb up white nancy and meet everyone else up there for breakfast. Graze sponsored our breakfast today so we had yummy granola.
Think I might have a doze on the sofa... I'm knackered. Need to run 4 miles today.

Not a lot of food consumed but sounds like you made up for it in beer! Sounds like fun. Have a good day.

Thanks Cate - I had a lovely lazy day (apart from the run!)

So not too bad today - I was pleased with my 4 mile run time and ran my fastest 5k yet so I'm now running at around an 11 minute mile pace. I'd like to run the race in a 10 minute mile pace but I think that's too ambitious.
Food today:
Granola
A couple of tiny orange and rhubarb muffins that someone made
Two slices of toast - one with marmite and one with lemon marmalade
A few crackers with cheese and cucumber
Chicken salad with new potatoes and some bread and Danish blue
Piece of key lime pie
Haven't weighed in a couple of days so I'll weigh tomorrow.

Well done on the running. I haven't a clue what the speeds mean but it will certainly be faster than I'm capable of
Lol! I'm not that fast but I'm improving which is the main thing
thanks Susie! X

I very nearly didn't post today. For the first time in nearly 100 days I didn't post because I really didn't want to. I don't even know why?
The one thing that made me post was seeing TH and Katie back - welcome back ladies
I'll run through my day and maybe it will become clear.. Or maybe not! Lol
So I weighed myself and I'm back down to 10 stone 7.9 - really pleased this morning whereas now I feel like a whale. No idea why? Wonder if it's because today is a rest day and aside from a walk with the dog, a 45 sec plank and some stretches I haven't done any exercise? Wonder if I'm addicted? I got very excited last night as I signed up for a 15k race in October so I had another goal after the 10k race at the end of August.
Then I went for an osteopathy appointment. She said to come back about 6-8 weeks before we start trying again so she can get my hips back in alignment. She said that I was much better than I was in May but that I was holding onto some emotion still. I told her that I finally broke down into tears about my miscarriage on Friday. She reckons it will take a successful pregnancy to truly help me to let go of all the emotion.
She explained I must take it easy for the rest of the day so maybe that has altered my mood?
Then the counselling lady at the hospital called me (at last, it's been weeks since I called them asking for an appointment) and I'm in early tomorrow morning for an appointment. The kicker is it's in the ante natal clinic.. Oh the irony. I have to see a pregnant friend on thurs evening that I've managed to avoid since Easter when I found out she was expecting so it's probably well timed. I can't avoid all my pregnant friends forever! (Why is it though that so many have fallen pregnant since my pregnancy?)
So obviously that's on my mind and contributing to my mood.. But why would that make me feel fat?
Then I've just been reading the examined mind - a brilliant book, but whenever I read anything about psychology or psychotherapy it makes me introspective.
Food wise, not a bad day, bar the white magnum by body told me I needed. It doesn't often do that to be fair so I listened. It usually craves fruit and veg.
Granola for breakfast, bar for lunch, and around 12 small crackers with shavings of cheddar and tomato with white pepper over the course of the afternoon / evening. And the white magnum of course.
Felt very tired and lethargic on my walk this evening. Maybe the heat, maybe the after effects of the osteopathy, maybe my mental state. Who knows. At least I've come on here and written it all down..
Hope everyone else is having, I want to say, a better day, but I don't feel I've had a bad day despite what I've written. I finally got round to recovering my dining chairs today - I bought the fabric ages ago. I was pleased with the result. And I put my newly washed curtains back up and deadheaded the garden, and on top of that I had a good productive day working on the business.
Plus it was lovely weather again.

Hi Yoyo, hope you're feeling better in yourself tomorrow. Well done on the 10.7lbs. :bighug:

Oh yoyo... What you went through was massive and it can hit you when you least expect it... Even when you think you're fine, sometimes WHAM. Don't feel bad, and don't stray from here coz everyone loves reading about your success and motivational posts...
Briefly, I kind of get where you're coming from, I had an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy last year, went into hospital as felt so unwell / faint etc, they thought it was just early stage symptoms, nearly sent me home but luckily kept me in... 3am and it ruptured and I lost 5 pints of blood, I'm very lucky to be here. Now we weren't trying and hadn't got long to get used to the idea, but it still messed us both up a bit. Even now, sometimes it still just hits me. I don't think I took the time to fully come to terms with what had happened, I was discharged from hospital on Thursday afternoon and was back at work on the Monday!
What I'm trying to say is don't be too hard on yourself, your mind and body are both coming to terms with a massive shock. And don't feel bad for avoiding pregnant friends, but equally, try to push yourself to see them and share their happiness, all of my friends seem to be starting families now too, I hope the counselling helps with that too.
Take care honey x x
