We went to Bath yesterday, up at 5am and not back till about 7.30 pm just quite a bit of walking. Food wasn't great, so back to normal today, body pump here I come!
I had a good spicy curry last night, I think it may have contain vegetables but was too hot to notice them.
After putting my weight down I got a bit of a kick start, so yesterday I just did 4 hours in the gym and then a 2 1/2 hour run
Frodo - start weight 10.12 target 9.8 current weight last week's loss
GFB - start weight 13.11 target 12.0 current weight 13.9 last week's loss 2lb

Prawnie - start weight 9.8 target 9st current weight last week's loss
ITB - start weight 13.13 target 12.10 current weight last week's loss
I did body pump yesterday. Today is long run day cos I am in London Sunday and so won't do any exercise other than walking and jumping up and down supporting.
My weigh in will be Mondays. Another decent pace 6m this morning but on the road this time. Bright and sunny, what a contrast to 36hrs ago!
Sadly working all day sat and Sun so shan't get to watch the vlm. Anyone running?
Just done my dvd workout this morning - very hard, but it's doing me good!
I need t do a little 4 miler later and then day off tomorrow in that london
No running today as a long day at work. However, a healthy day with snacks as cherry toms and carrot sticks and I did well to resist the giant tin of Roses that appeared on my desk. Tonights dinner was roasted salmon with spinach, leek, garlic, lemon and olive oil.
I did 4 miles this evening on the treadmill incl 2.5 miles fartlek type stuff. I don't like doing random fartlek so I did half a mile at progressively faster speeds instead with a warm up and cool down. I quite enjoyed it!
Have a great race Prawnie, hope to see you at Mudchute
I only did 2 bits of exercise this weekend and done by 9:30am on Saturday!!
Did my first lake swim of the year, it was 1c on the drive to the lake. I managed 25 minutes in the lake but struggled to keep my face the water as it was soo cold. Then went of and did a parkrun which is now at a different location than at the lakeside. It was strange running on a disused golf course but was good cross country training due to the recent rain.
Still need to get out on my bike, it may happen this week.
I will weigh myself tonight, not sure how that will go.
Lovely to see Prawnie at Mudchute yesterday, looking remarkably good for 17 miles in, well done
So last week was a bit odd cos I had two days when I was away all day from really early and into the evening so no exercise. So my week looked like :
M- Core stability class, body pump, 4 miles on treadie with intervals
T - 6W6P, 3.11 miles easy
W - trip to Bath!
T - Body Pump
F- 7.6 miles easy LSR
S - 6W6P, 4 miles on treadmill (1mile easy/ 2.5 miles varied paces/ 0.5 mile easy)
No weightloss.
GFB, at the moment just a local 10 mile running race and a few parkruns.
Oh nearly forgot the Long Course Triathlon Weekend, Outlaw and Ironman Wales
3x Ironman distance events, can you imagine how much "recovery" food I will be eating.
More details at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ironman, this has links to my blog and twitter account so you can see what training I am doing (or not) and any of my advanced cooking.
Evening all.
Just weighed myself, and I'm 10 st 9. Not too bad, but up on Christmas, when I stopped trying to loose the weight & concentrated on the marathon instead. That's done and so target is back to 10 st. First task will be to cut out the snacks again...
Mind you, the wii thinks I'm 24, when I actually turned 40 this month, so I'll forgive it saying I'm a weighty heffalump.
Down 2lb in the last 2 weeks
When at the gym I saw parts of Bang goes the theory, just watched it on iPlayer. It was about nutrition and the effects of performance. I may even be tempted for scientific and performance reasons to try beetroot juice!!

5 mile easy run on the treadie for me this evening, will get outside tomorrow when hopefully the rain will stop for a bit!
I've pootled a bit too, a bit over 3.5 miles, but no watch - and no pressure. First post marathon run. I think everything remembered what to do by the time I'd finished.
Not too bad on the food front, todays snacks (which I need to eliminate) were 2 biscuits, a lump of cheese and the tail end of a bar of slightly icky chocolate. That looks like a lot of extras, but it's better than it has been recently. *slap wrists*
Ginger, its a funny thing weight loss eh! Don't be disheartened, could be water? Main thing is you are exercising and eating well. The metabolism will kick in I'm sure! Nights tonight and tomorrow so need to avoid coffee and biscuits ans try and stay on the green tea, water and some healthy snacks as opposed to crap from a garage at 4am when I'm starting to flag a bit!
Core stability class and 5 mile run for me yesterday. I have decided to do a few weeks of low HR running to build up my base fitness, realy enjoyed my run yesterday. I am also trying to eat kess carb and more protein/good fats ... see if that helps drop a bit of fat. I weighed thisorning and am down a bit ... but it doesn't count till weigh-in day
Week two of HM training is going well - it's a 3 run a week schedule so it doesn't take up too much time...it suggests one more days of XT starting from next week so I'll have to think about that one.
I did my long run today, 8 miles very very slowly ... I was really trying to keep a low HR so it was over a minute per mile slower than recent runs, but I am going to try to do low HR runs for a few weeks and hopefully they will naturally get faster for the same HR ... we'll see
Mon - Core stability class, body pump, 5 mile run
Tues - 6W6P
Wed- Core stability class, 5 mile run
Thurs - Body Pump
Fri - 8 mile run
Sat - Shred dvd, 5 mile run
Sun - rest day except physio exercises which I am committed to doing every day now ..
23 miles, most for ages, and I have lost 1.5 pounds
I am planning more of the same this week ...
