So yesterday was another up. Down today, going to fast as long as I can. Going to have my protein shake, 193 calories. I know it is high in calories for one thing but it has a lot if goodness in it. I am not sure what else I will do. I an now 7lbs which is painful as it takes me out of "overweight" BMI and into obese again. I know I haven't actually gained 7lbs of course. I did today notice how much smaller my waist is looking! Really need to get back into 30 day shred, why can't I? Weird when I have been reading how successful it is!

Tues: 191 (+5lbs post up)

My up day wasn't a very healthy one, that's ok though, was for a birthday. Tomorrow isn't going to be a healthy one either, daughter wants to go to pizza hut for her birthday I have a bit of a sore stomach today, trapped wind I think. Need to try run tonight since I never manages yesterday. Knee seems a bit better today!
Have a nice day everyone x

Hey Time2Go you have done so fantastically well so far. Very inspirational and I wouldn't worry about healthy, what does a UP healthy day looks like? This was mine yesterday
chocolate, mayo, cheese, bread, olive oil, does it look healthy? don't think so but why do we think these foods are not healthy? because we were led to believe so it has been drummed into us for so long that we are now taking it as law. I and millions others have struggled all our lives to make this healthy lark work and we failed over and over again and again. It makes me wonder why is that? if its meant to be good and its the way forward why so many struggle to grasp it? So I am starting to think that they have it all wrong. When men was created he had to eat when he could find food and this meant eat till stuffed stage when he had the food in front of him then starve until he found the next meal. I struggled to have breakfast all my life but I forced myself to eat it because I was told it was the most important meal of the day, Pauline said it beautifully the other *I am going to listen to my body for a change* and that's what I intend to do. So enjoy your UP's guilt free.
ps sorry for the soap box speech

Thank you
how kind, Nd I love speeches of any variety so u carry on! My mum ended up taking my girls out for lunch today when it came to her attention that I have neither much shopping or money. Was very kind of her. She ordered whilst I was at toilet with girls, and ordered me a mixed sandwich selection! Oh no. I have counted it on mfp and it is within my calorie limit for dd but.now I am hungry n no calories left.... And I intend to run tonight and like to have my protein shake after n have no calories for that either... No drama really except I am sooo hungry!

If you are interested in increasing ur distance I would recommended a "bridge to 10k" programme. I used zero to 10k and jumped to week 4. Got to week 8 and just done my own thing.
I use the "usn ultra lean" from Holland and barret. It's 193 calories. I get the strawberry and find it so tasty. Really think and.creamy too! You can also get chocolate which is also meant to b nice! I was told to drink one within half an hour of running. I dunno if it is true or not but I always recovered well from a run and have never felt sore the next day! Even after my 6.5 miles! I've decided to take today off too just to ensure knee is alright but I am.hating it! I am so determined to do 3 runs a week but not gonna manage this week :-( x

Good luck with your down day, T2G! Hopefully the cinema snack prices will be a great ally
What film are you going to see?

I think that's wise I know it still puts a bit of pressure but the book does say that on your UP days you should choose wisely.

Good luck time2go, I think it does take some getting used to! I blew it yesterday, was on an up day but really did go a bit mad. But have been advised it will settle down once my body gets used to it so don't give up completely xx
Ps am going to download the 10k app, oooer!!
