Saying that I some how gained 1 1/2 lb this week!!
So a good 4 hours at the gym this morning (weights, pilates, 2 spin classes and a swim) and a planned 5 or 6 mile run before club run session tonight. Not a bad days training on my day off.
That's were the tractor power comes in.
So tonight was just the 11.5 miles ran with 3.5 miles being speedwork. Got another pilates and spin classes thursday night. Can you tell my ironman training has started.
More shocking than my training today, is I had 3 vegetables as part of my dinner tonight!!! I will have to have some suitable "recovery" drink to wash the taste out.
Yesterdays food:
B: Muesli with yogurt and pineapple
Chargrilled chicken with chips and salad
L: Bagette bought at the train station
E: About 2 hours of walking.
Today I did body oump with a one mile trot on the treadie to warm up. Lovely hour walk in a beautiful Nat Trust garden this afternoon. Had a piece of cake, but food going really well this week
Morning.
I was down another 1 lb last night. 10 st 2. sooo nearly there...
This week I have:
run 31 miles (inc 15 mile race),
done a 2 hr yoga class
wii fitted for 45 minutes
I've also been eating reasonably, although when I'm staying away it gets a bit what hit & miss. Depends what I can find in tesco's rather than full meal type things. usually a pasty or similar, yoghurt & fruit, so hopefully covering most of the food groups. Ate loads Sunday evening - even had dessert, and had a few biscuits yesterday - but felt they were deserved.
Down 2 1/2 lb this week and got my new techie toy/training aid (Garmin 910)
It counts the lengths of the pool for me.
up 1lb this week, which is not bad due to lack of exercise and work stuff.
Another good thing from the podcast I mentioned previously. They said it does not matter about good days or bad days on a diet but your mean (average) days throughout the year. Being a techie I like the mathematical description for if you fall of the wagon it does not matter as long as you get back on it.
My diet works along those lines ITB - as long as you average out over a period of a week (or you could chose a month) it doens't matter if you indulge occassionally.
Talking of which I am logging food again. If you discount the chocoalte I have had then I would be on target.
But I have been eating a lot more fruit and veg.
Training going well. Saturday morning -7c ideal weather for a 5km parkrun and somehow was my quickest time at my home event in over a year!! Then 2 1/2 hours at the gym followed by a LARGE portion of chips on the way home.
It is my first lot of chips this year I think.
Then tonight I cooked some new food I heard yesterday called Hawaiian Loco Moco (the link is to my blog with photo if you have not seen on FB). It tasted really nice especially with thicker gravy.
I too have been eating healthily for the last few days, if I can get back running and keep walking and doing classes the weight should start to come off again ...
Down 3/4 lb this week but clothes feeling loser.
Today was back on the ITB exercise wagon, with 3 1/2 hours at the gym this morning and a 10 mile run tonight with a few "recovery" cakes between the sessions
Down 1 3/4 lb this week, not bad for having a pie sandwich
Perhaps all the extra exercise helped, not sure if -11c parkrun in the snow was a good idea but warmed up with the post run cafe visit
haha ITB, love the pic
I like pies ...
I have been good with my food and exercise for the last week or so. I am keeping a record of my food and making sure I get a deficit, I am planning a run longer than 1 mile tomorrow as my virus finally seems to have gone, but I have been doing body pump and core work. I want to lose 7lbs, so seven week plan ...
Down 1/2 lb this week which is good due to the volume of food and amount of exercise I did this week.
I'm having to catch myself on...I've gained back about 5 pounds of the stone and a half that I lost...and I feel every one of them. New start today...went a 3 mile hard walk and back to low carb for me.
*waddles out of thread*
Evening all,
Been busy marathon training at the moment but have managed to stay in the 9's and lost a little bit more weight. Down to 9st 9lb now so pleased with that, all the training and one to one sessions are definitely paying off.
Did a 20 mile trail run today, feeling knackered now though. Early night I think.
Hope everyone is ok and training/weight loss is going well.
Great losing and running there! I haven't done a 20 miler for about a year, not surprised you are knackered, well done! You doing VLM?
I am doing lots of training but not much of it running. Have been really good on food too and finally my weight has moved downward by a couple of pounds
This lasted for about 4 days and then it went away...I guess I can stick that out each month...good to know what's going to happen.
Yes B I'm VLM ing in a few weeks, eek!
GFB glad you lost the 4lbs and as you say it's nice to know the reasoning behind it.
Great that you are doing VLM Prawnie, I am going to be supporting at Mudchute, should be fun
Body pump for me today. I did 6.35 miles on Tuesday, the furthest in ages, and another 3 yesterday, so I am planning to try to do 4runs each week to get back in the habit, but keep up the body pump and core stuff and lots of walking. I want my extra weight gone by the end of April ...
