Shall we both do 9 miles tomorrow? I managed 8.25 last night so trying to stay motivated!

Well done on your awesome loss, I'm using MFP this to shift just over 5 stone.. any tips?

Also great going on your MFW activities, you are doing fab. Will subscribe to follow you!

9 miles it is! That feels much closer to a hm than 8.25!

Thanks debtfreeoneday. Biggest tip would be log everything, literally every thing, if you don't then your only cheating yourself plus shows how little things add up. Plus need to change only what you can sustain, so don't promise to stop eating x forever, as the second you do that, you want it more and its unrealistic.

9.5 done CathT, how did you get on? are we going for 10 next Sunday? Calves still shouting but managed it. Girls back to swimming and music this week so mid week runs will be shorter due to time factors. Will plan workarounds..

Did I mention dd1 passed her grade 6 clarinet?
Anyway more good news, her temp Christmas shop job have offered her a regular post, she's going to share with the other girl there and do a weekend day a week but more in the hols. She was keen to do just a day as being mon to Fri at college then working all weekend has been a bit tough. She's very pleased.

Tea done, roast dinner. 2 ready meals for our lunches tomorrow, 1 shep pie type dinner ready for tomorrow tea and 1 for the freezer. Chores done. Might have a nice long read in the bath.

Just mapped my route for sunday CathT. You still in?


Not as many miles this week as everything back to normal (swimming and music lessons cause time constraints - in fact normal life causes time issues!) Still trying hard though. The only way is up..


Feeling happy as work upgraded my phone to iphone6 and for the princely sum of £10 I get unlimited usage. Kids sooo jealous. Have caught them stroking it! DD1 decided she wanted one, I said go ahead but yours to pay for. She searched for a day and I think shes decided against...
also bought fab case on ebay very cheaply. Came today and I likey!


Got a survey in the post today. Offering £10 each for up to 4 family members over 16 for completion. Did 2 (1 for Dave) and got £20 AGC, DD1 has just done hers. I've added to account and was kosher.

Friday night's run was cold but today's was actually less cold but very snowy. Did seriously consider not going but glad we did. 11 miles completed but so tired. Next week will repeat rather than increasing although to be fair, was harder because of the snow and slush. Feel on track for first part of challenge, hm in March. Then wil be closer to the biggie.

Friends for tea last night which was great. Over ate / drank but hopefully run should even that out. Didn't log but I didn't go too crazy.

My ltv rate now is less than 3% and by March will be under 2%.

Grade 6 clarinet!

Woweee. Well done your DD. I can only imagine being that proficient.
