Was just catching up on yesterday's postings .. intersting about the cal/gram fat/gram thing .. I will at least know what I am looking for now. Trying to be good today as I have a had a couple of bad days. Going out a run at lunch time, then shopping, keep me away from food.
Have a good weekend DD

I've been naughty today already. I didn't finally roll out of bed until 10am (after going back at 6am) and we went shopping this morning. I bought loads of healthy things for me and no chocolate for the mr (he won't be pleased when I tell him forgot it) but we ended up going to the supermarket cafe for "brunch" which was actaully breakfast with chips. I didn't eat it all but I felt like a right lardy afterwards!!!
I mentioned in my other thread I'm hopefully back in the gym this week so hopefully it won't be so bad on Monday!
Talking of 'Lardy', I feel really fat today! It's a combination of being under house-arrest because of my shin and being alone (the Mr. is out all day today).. with all this food! Anyway, started off very good with a bowl of cereal. Then made some tuna & sweetcorn pasta for lunch... so, still being very good, then I remembered the Lemon Meringue Ice Cream in the freezer and somehow, I don't really remember how, but found a MASSIVELY LARGE portion of it in a bowl on my lap!!! Well, what's a girl to do?? Anyway, to cut a long story short, the Tub of Lemon Meringue Ice Cream is no more... and the evidence has been put into the dishwasher... oh dear - glad I've got loose drawstring trousers on today!!

EP, using the carbing up excuse for giving way to your mother's upfeeding of your little frame is fine provided you remember that there is NO carbohydrate whatsoever in fresh cream (squirty cream has a bit because it's about 5% added sugar). One of my best friends is nearly 80 and a real feeder-upper (she looks about 50 and hasn't lost any of her faculties, so it must do her some good), and she is absolutely brilliant about just not producing cakes at all when she knows I'm "training", although she still sends me off laden with chocolates.
I've been good so far today. Kevin the Teenager and I went to Sainsbury's late yesterday evening and snaffled all the fancy vegetables with reduced stickers on (and a few that hadn't) as well as the usual trolleyload of favourites. I had hot baguette, jam and a couple of slightly overripe bananas for breakfast, probably used about 1,000 calories walking to the gym and working out, and burgers in wholemeal rolls for lunch. Velociraptors don't eat burgers, but I wanted something quick and these were the sort made out of compressed TSP and onions and were OK with a heavy dousing of spicy tomato relish. Now trying to work out exactly what fate awaits the exotic veg tonight.
Ironing...impressive till you remember that sitting pn your butt for half an hour probably uses up 69 calories. Still, it's difficult (and dangerous) to eat a bowl of icer-cream while doing the ironing.
Got Mr V-rap to walk to the gym and get in the pool. Major triumph!
Be good, girls (and boys, if you're lurking).
Cheers, V-rap.
New runners are always getting minor injuries and the most important thing is to make sure they stay minor. Most calf strains get better by themselves within a few days, so the likelihood of you being forced out of action for a long time is remote. But you need to keep your cardiovascular fitness, and your endorphin levels, going.
Cheers, V-rap.

Had short session in gym, only 50 mins as so tired
Cant keep up with this on call lark, too old
Just finished a MASSIVE Sainers sandwich, 517 calories
Still hungry
Is it Gin time yet??
Am actually sick of feeling fat, so after my night away and the MRs birthday on Monday(always excuses!), am going to make a proper effort
Dont expect me to stop drinking though
first gin
What restraint!!
The talk Im preparing for the baby doctors on monday should be interesting
I havent had any crisps today
Kids are meant to be fit - I'm sure most of us here were active as kids because Playstations and Gameboys and home computers hadn't been invented (I was 14 when the parents of the richest kid in my class became the first people I knew to get a video) and I was of the social class where kids got tipped out into the street at daybreak while the the house was being cleaned, were given a sandwich and a cake out of the window at lunchtime, told to come home by sundown, and nobody cared much where I'd been as long as I hadn't been caught in any acts of delinquency. I remember it being idyllic (apart from the obligatory Sunday afternoon jaunts in the car). I have to make an effort to keep my kids off their bums, although when they stay with my parents they get tipped out into the street at sunrise...
Happy gardening!

Good luck for tomorrow
Well I've been up since 7am! Just had my cereal and am now drinking water..(well I will be, after I've finished this coffee!!). Leg feels ok.. (fingers crossed!). I'll let you know how I get on! Have a good day everyone - the sun is shining here - hope it is where you are!

Think of the feasting you can legitimately do afterwards
I bet you surprise yourself!

Just got back from the 10K race - my leg held out absolutely fine - no problems with it at all. I finished in 54.40 - which I'm quite pleased about..! Now, I've got something to aim for at my next 10K - on 6th October..!! After the race though, I had the most terrible stomach pains.. on the way back to the car, I actually had to sit on someone's front wall!! Don't know what that was all about!! Anyway, I'm so relieved I've done it.. now what's for dinner!!!

I'm now enjoying a post-run carb-up too, having done my longest long run since the London Marathon today. Thirteen miles - about 80 calories a mile because I'm not very big - the game stew and spuds I had straight after don't count because they were a meal I'd have had anyway - so I make that half a tub of Haagen-Dazs (chocolate caramel brownie because that's what's open) and 100g of chocolate.
Cheers, folks!
