Hope everyone has had good day - I went out for run yesterday lunchtime and will do same tomorrow, can nearly run for half an hour non-stop now (but very slowly!).
Just wondered if anyone might be interested in doing the 5K in the Christmas Cracker Josie mentioned, I don't think I will be up to the 10k, it would be my first race and I would love to have someone else to run with as long as they do not mind me being very slow!
It is run by the Worthing Running sisters and according to the feed back on the event thread it is a really friendly race. I'm sure you wouldn't be alone. I'll boing the tread for you so have a look in a minute
benz did you send me an odd e-mail sunday night apologising for talking shop in public? if so - I don't have the foggiest idea what you were talking about. Had you been drinking by some chance?
saw this in the paper - thought y'all might like it 'beer is good for you - it is one of the richest sources of silicon - which gives bones strength and flexibility. Half a pint a day provides 1/5th of the rda, specialists at Kings College and St Thomas, hospital have said. They found a close link between bone density and silicon intake in men and pre-menopausal women' Metro daily
Bune - I'd like to think that the old "London Pride" is good for me. I must be full of silicon! (before dieting usually a couple of days a week!)
Went for a good run yesterday and went for longer than I had intended, so tonight I am having a rest.
On Sunday I tested the scales and was a single pound down, which I was actually quite pleased with. Now 13st 4lbs and keeping the diet going better than I thought I would.
I have it on reliable authority (read it somewhere on the web) that two cans of stella=3 portions of fruit/veg. My dietician disagrees - but then what does she know?
Ok Im in decided today that Im sick of being fat, especially after putting on my "thin" grey trousers this am, and feeling even worse Not a happy Benz Well done on the run though Pixie, thats FAB Off to get more gin and protend to read througha few more papers for thesis
God youre persistent Pix, youll be running a slimming club next:) Even though i have just buoght a multipack of Niknaks( bloody crisp thread0 and a large bag of pretzels, im gonna give up crisps, until Brighton OK??
Well by that time, I may be eating anything I could have said chocolate, but that would be cheating as im not addicted anymore, it stopped when i was 30 But just in case i overcompensate for the lack of crisps, no choccie either
do have the occasional bag of crisps (not supposed to) but I have developed a liking for cheese snack-a-jacks. they last a long time and they don't weigh much (important considerations when you have 4.5 hours dialysis to 'look forwards' to) chocolate is the only thing that get me to the supermarket - if I don't get to buy some of those giant quality street jobbies then i stay home!
second tip - it's fuel for your temple of a body you need it in real quantity and quality is better
third tip - understand your relationship with food - do you reward yourself with it, punish yourself with it, use it when you are bored or tired or lonely or as a way to distract yourself from other stuff? (I do all of the above !)try and work out what you are really feeling when you grab for chocolate /crisps ot whatever try and work out what you could do instead of using food for the above
fourth tip- dont make food the enemy - dont try and deny yourself the pleasure of eating things you like - moderation though is a good idea (pleasure is ok!)
fifth tip- if you have a bad day dont beat yourself - its human nature - treat yourself like your very best friend would
sixth tip - planning - have what you want/need to eat available so you dont have to go shopping at the last minute /when you are hungry /tired/ more likely to eat things you would prefer not to
try and eat for your activity levels - make sure the tank is full and the oil and water levels up and the tyres well inflated (metaphorically)
enjoy food - its ok to eat things that are not salads/vegetables/fruit - just make them treats not the staple diet!
keep well hydrated - alchohol dehydrates and may make you eat more too
have some positive goals - I want to be leaner or faster not I want to lose x - or be less
make them 'smart'goals
Specific Measureable Achievable Realistic Timescale
sorry its along boring one but
how about a virtual buddy system - someone to support and encorage around excersise and healthy eating?

Hello Jaybird welcome to our friendly forum.
Bune - I'd like to think that the old "London Pride" is good for me. I must be full of silicon! (before dieting usually a couple of days a week!)

Cheers all!
