2nd day 100% back on plan complete! My head is back in the game now Just needed the excess sugar out of my system! * week this week, so might not get a big Monday loss like I wanted, especially as I'll be out Saturday...

L. chicken, rice and peas (3 syns), mullerlight, 3 satsumas

[Thin Lizzy]

Take heart Tig it went on in a short space of time and if you stick to the plan it will come off in the same space of time. I think getting back on track is an achievement in itself.

 

[Tig]

Thanks Lizzy, I certainly hope so!!

My new Garmin forerunner came today I can start trying to improve my pace now! 21 weeks & 2 days until Marathon!

NYE tomorrow as we all know!
EE again I think...
B. Going to try SW quiche! Crammed with vegis, bacon and some cheese (hexa)
L. More quiche, milky way crispy rolls (6 syns)
D. ??? I'm at a friends so I don't know Probs end up being something not particularly SW friendly... Plus booze... That'll be red wine and a few champagnes!

EDIT - recon it'll be a small chicken kebab with salad which i've calc'ed at 13 syns (chicken, pitta, chilli sauce)... I'm going to flexi with 70, so that's 51 for whatever else!

Happy New Year!!
Right, last night didn't go to plan... I ended up so drunk, that counting syns went out the window... I doubt I could have counted to 5!! Chicken kebab didn't happen, OH and I shared pizza!

Sooo, how on earth (after drinking gallons of water...) are the scales showing a 3lb loss!!
I'm hoping it's from getting back on plan in this interim period!

Running today! Need to make it a good one, hoping for 7 miles.

[Clavicles]

:wavey: Hello

I've been noseying at your diary for a while :ashamed0005: Have you been running long?
x

 

[Tig]

Hey Clavicles,

Awww nice to know I'm being looked after

I've been running for quite a while, up until now my max a half marathon, but I'm doing the Edinburgh marathon in May EEK!

Are you a runner?
Your weight loss is fantastic!! Congrats

Xx

 

[Clavicles]

Well, I run but I don't know if I'd call myself a runner. lol I only started around Easter last year with C25K but have got up to 10 miles and hoping to do a half Marathon this year. I have definitely caught the running bug!

I've been looking at your diary out of curiosity really. I'm struggling to maintain and keep losing. I don't want to stop running (currently run 3/4 times a week). What kind of portions do you eat? Do you eat lots of carbs? Sorry for being nosey!

 

[Tig]

Don't be silly, ask away! Maintenance is hard I've failed at that one before... In the past I used to give myself a cheat day, once a week, whatever I wanted. Then I'd stay on plan (low GI) the other 6 days.

Alcohol was my downfall... Whoops

Before a race, half marathon or more, I'll start increasing my carbs gradually around 2/3 weeks before. Before the Great North Run I went to TGI's and ate the huuuugest burger and an ice cream sundae

It's certainly addictive, which half are you thinking of? I have another in March, we can motivate one another
