  • Changes to Exercise plan

    After had a week off due to cold virus thing its funny how quick the routine can disappear again so I am being firm with myself and I will run on the following days

    Mon - run
    Wed - run in the morning
    Fri - run
    Sun - run 10k non stop day

    Important day on Sunday as I finally reach my running goal and finish the podrunner interval training programme

    Important week - exercise again and complete the final week of interval training to get to the big day on Sunday.

    Then will have completed the 2nd interval training programme before the next stage on the half marathon training programme.

    All goes towards the plan of the final 7lbs to lose. Updated the diet plan to reflect the original target and my target date is end Oct. Will be trying very hard to get there.

    Except gone over the kcal allowance today - not by that much but hey tomorrow's another day to get back on track again. Plus I have burnt off 857 kcal from the target of 200 kcal so don't feel too guilty about that!

  • Mon, Tues and Wed plan
    Washing
    Mon - Run
    Rest day Tues
    Tues - kitchen clean, collect courgettes prep lasagne
    Washing out looks like a fine day
    Wed - run
    Warm up leftovers for tea
    Thurs - rest day
    Thurs - clean LR, BR and BR - break into 30 min segments to complete
    Fri - run day and collapse after work
    Sat - town
    Sun - garden, sort out apples for once and for all by this date

    and finally.....

    I will stop buying reduced items because they are reduced and going into the freezer.
    I will eat what I have in the freezer and free up some space
    I will eat more pasta as I have a lot
    I will continue to buy what I need - fruit, veg, milk and yoghurts and cheese
    I will see a reduction in my food shopping allowances

    I will start to see some space in the freezer

    This is where I need to get to - stop spending for the sake of it and use up what I have.

    Let me see how I get on by the end of the month - leg of lamb anyone!

  • OK then what is there to report today?

    Went to see TTSS last night on orange wed and what a great film that was - a totally gripped cinema audience that did not make a sound for over 2hrs! Will be buying this on DVD when it comes out.

    Work today and a run after work. Felt really tired today after an emotional day yesterday, nearly didn't go and even though I cut it short by about half a mile I was glad I went overall. Plus it means I can have tomorrow off!

    2 LSD rather than NSD. Spent £3.65 at the cinema and £1.35 today on a hot chocolate caved in for to cheer me up this afternoon.

    Who knows what tomorrow will bring. However Sat will bring a lot of rugby watching and maybe some courgette lasagne making if I can procure one!
