Urgh - I have been so good all week - not a drop has passed my lips and have felt fab, shed a couple of pounds and actually got stuff done. 10k trail race tomorrow morning (with a good friend and my sis in law who are both super super speedy) and what do I do, open a damn bottle; am doomed for failure
not used to having a race on a Saturday and my brain won't register that it's 10k and not a marathon so will probably plod around like a granny... hey ho, it all counts I suppose!
good luck for the race tomorrow suzy, i am sure you will fly round it.
Congrats on the good week so far Suzy....race report?
In spite of The Move That Shall Not Be Mentioned, the scales are trending downwards this week
I've been very good last couple of days too, but not been on the scales.
Off out for a ruby tonight though but I think i've got a good chunk of calories left for the day.
MM: Thank you so much. Really, you are effing awesome.
TD: I know this is hard to hear, but you gave me great advice for those three weeks before Paris, of which the most important thing was that you told me to give my body a break. Right now, you have to be kind to your body. I think others have asked this, but can you swim as an interim exercise? Maybe if you place one of the buoys between your legs so you don't kick and aggravate your knee...

I skipped my 90 min. elliptical + strength this afternoon as I haven't been consuming enough calories for me to fuel my workout. I'll go to the gym tomorrow, though, once I have more calories in reserve. The Breakup Diet, while effective, is extremely unhealthy.
Never have I been gladder to see a 'U'
I triple-checked the spelling on that one.
Just spotted that Suzy - top performance lass!
you lost your shoes a couple of times and still got an 8 min PB on a 10km?!?!? SWEEEEEET!! you should be stoked!! I'm stoked for you!! YAY Suzy.
well, I had bad breakfast (as had to get what I could before train at 7:30am), then a pub lunch (bangers and mash) BUT think I did pretty well with dinner as REALLY felt like takeaways but made my own home version of chicken with masses of vegetables friedish rice.
well done suzy, super speedy and you enjoyed yourself.
yer maj, well done on the downward trend on the scales....and for keeping your head together (almost) during the house move.
DLR well done for being goodfor last few days. enjoy your ruby as someone said last week, having one treat meal per week is probably the way to go and gives you something to look forward to all week.
Sal, well done for avoiding the trinity of bad meals in one day.
KO's stay strong girl.
well last night shift for me tonight. gym in work is shut at weekend so i will be running round and round the plant later when it gets dark. have not been on scales all week, but fingers crossed.
have decided my treat meal this week will be brunch on monday, going to do a big irish fry up. must remember to weigh myself before i eat that !
My curry went ok, in that I added up all the calories and had enough for that and a packet of crisps and a Curly Wurly later!
Unfortunately I also ate both Milka bars I'd bought becuase 'they were half price and I can make them last' as well as a packet of pastilles. Instead of being 1000 kcals under my maintenance level as planned each day) I went over by about 100. Could have been worse I guess.
Back on the horse today and no meal out next week, so I can get a good weekend in.
Couple of things that are helping me at the moment:
Suzy: WONDERFUL run! And being covered in mud should only add to your feelings of glory.
DLR: How do you feel about rice waffles/rice cakes/whatever they're called in England? Lots of people don't like them, but they're a staple food for me as I also try and watch my gluten intake. The plain ones are only about 40kcal, and I heart them with some cottage cheese and a drop of pesto (much better than the baguette/mozzarella/loads of pesto that I used to eat, and only slightly less satisfying).
Also: What in God's name is a Curly Wurly? And do I dare look it up in the Profanisaurus?
Name is hilarious though
hmm...so what's everyone's ideas on eating when sick? Cold is back and I feel like eating EVERYTHING in sight and too crap to go out for a run or ride to offset it.
RS: Serious bummer. Can you send someone out for oranges and make fresh-squeezed orange juice? What about having someone whip up a quick chicken and brown rice soup? (Cube chicken breast and sautee until golden, then add chopped onions, carrots, celery and spices [thyme, s&p, etc.]. Add chicken stock and brown rice, and cook until rice is tender.)
I usually overdose on vitamin C and zinc to help with my immune system, in addition to eating gallons of soup and fresh fruit and veggies. And REST!
yeah, have been drinking Innocent brand (because think it's probably the least toxified) OJ and blackberry, strawberry and blueberry smoothie non-stop most of the week. Got some massive 1000mg Vitamin C tablets. Yup, lots of veggies etc are going in but am still massively tempted by other things...like the mass of crusty fresh white bread that I just ate
I have a big carb craving when I have a cold Sal, and to some extent i think that what your body craves when you're ill is probably what it needs. Beyond that a curry would be good - chilli, ginger and garlic will kill bacteria and stimulate mucus membranes. Yum.

Today I needed to make cakes. I needed to check that the Kitchenaid worked in the new house and I needed to check how the new oven performed.
I didn't need to eat 3 of them though
DLR: I've been to Leeds once, for the International Congress on Medieval Studies. We mostly stayed at the uni, but I remember seeing lots of pies when I did go into town. But that video is just ... <speechless>
Speaking of pies, a Pie Minister recently opened in Amsterdam!
Yer_maj: You were entirely innocent in the matter--that damned oven forced you to do it. So it doesn't count that you ate a cake.
