A busy day, not SW friendly, 66 miles club bike ride was tough but I beat the racing snake from Germany. Then had to work in the other farm clearing the trimmings from the orchard, it seems like it's never ending medieval work, just dragging branches and cut offs across orchard, out of a gateway and onto a fire....whilst Mrs Quins and 2 daughters put chicken wire in trees to stop the Rams eating the bark, b@stards! Lovely plums though.
B. 3 quorn mini eggs, 4.5 syns
30 miles then cafe stop at Shoreham , a tiny village with a WW 2 themed museum and cafe , paintings if spitfires in action over Kent , memorabilia all jeer, 30s/40s music playing, the tea ladies in costume, all very typically eccentric English. We had a young German riding with us....Oooops! He saw the funny side of it though. Then we found our Spanish rider who meeting us at the tea room.
Lunch and brekkieoor step sausage sandwich, nothing in the menu SW friendly at all....coffee with a sugar.
Absolute your gave it everything on the run in from about 5 -7 miles out. Managed to break the German racing snake, think he was a bit taken back, but he was brilliant on the hills whereas I was better on the flat ( stronger).
Post ride , 2 egg omelette with peppers , onions, chilies, 1 laughing cow.
Work in farm
Still very hungry, had 3 small hero sweets. No fat yoghurt.
21:30 managed egg beans on toast with butter. Knackered.

Snarky peak this morning shows another 2 pounds off, I must have lost about 4lb of fluid possibly more on that ride. I was very hungry after and couldn't seem to quell it.
Highlight of Sunday, post ride, was eating the plums from the tree....

Morning Pix,
That's a great start! Plus the walking and rowing , all great drills. Keep chipping away at it. We'll have you on the roads by the end of the week ! You'll sweat buckets in the gymn, don't notice it as much when you're outside, indoor cycling on the turbo is a proper sweat feat, I literally wring my kit out.

Well I was hungry again last night, wanted a banana and yoghurt or somethings flesh! Banana.'s were too green and we'd bought onken fat free yoghurt that is not syn free! To the rescue came D2 who had been working at a wedding reception and was given some left over lamb shanks, share sit with the dogs , they had the fatty buts and I had the lean bits, delicious and hit the spot.
I'm still struggling with a craving for peanut butter and choc spread. I find that some nights I have a couple of tea spoons. Why? What am I missing out on that I'm craving it? If I'd had the yoghurt and nana that might have curbed it.
Anyone else get a string craving? When it next comes in I will try a laughing cow light triangle as a replacement. See if that helps. Must remember.

A quick google shows that I could be low on magnesium , possibly B vits. All common in endurance athletes/ stress, low fat/ calorie diet etc.... Not an uncommon craving as the body is needing fat and minerals....
I haven't taken any bee pollen this week, or used any olive oil or taken omega 3 fish oils. 20 almonds a day is a recommendation. Might try that. Will if the weight loss continues.
