    Apparently I have -1340 calories left today...
  • My advice is run... thats what i do in order to gain alcohol and sweet calories. I ran in the rain tonight, bizarrely it was fantastic, felt brilliant all the way through, but only did 4.8miles as post work but needed to fetch kids from mums so time restrained.

    How have you set it? I aim for 1/2 lb loss so can go over slightly without any damage.

    Yes, returning to running. Aiming to lose 1lb a week, just totally underestimated how many calories I am consuming!

    Have just started to feel the love again with running. Thinking of doing another HM maybe in March. If goes well, my bucket list includes the full marathon, just not convinced I have it in me. But think if don't do it now, when will I? Once its done I can tick it off! Have you done a full Ed?

    Signature updated. Now below 8k. Whit Woo..

    Day off so have taken down the christmas decs, as starting to annoy, worked through a list of to do's, including accounts, ironing etc. Been to gym with dd2 (have ran 6 mile every day for last 3, calves weren't up for it today.. they groaned out loud.

    I have just been looking for races to enter. Thinking of doing a HM in May but wanted a 10k to keep me going. I definitely feel better when I run so hopefully if there are a few of us getting out there we can motivate each other.

    Well done on the daily 6 miles Helen!
    June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!
  • Thanks CathT, happened by default. Gym shut. Do plan to continue 3-4 a week though. Yes definitely clears away the cobwebs. Have booked a 10k in April. 26 miles though just seems such a leap.. remain undecided.


    JUst had tea at my parents which was nice. My dad was 73 yesterday, I did nip round in the morning but couldn't stay for tea as was working.
    Nipped to asda and bought a nice photo frame for bargainous £2 in sale. Now have my picture of me and dave (the one I put on FB at the award ceremony) in a frame. Really like it.
