Had a bit of a shock today. Firstly I saw a photo of me from my daughters school event. Let's just say I don't look as good as I thought I did !
So I weighed myself and discovered I had put on a few pounds ( TBH I already knew that but the scales confirmed it). So I have decided to do something about it before I end up obese again. That is not an option, as far as I'm concerned.
My initial target is 11 pounds, which will take me back to what I was 2 years ago when I first lost weight. After that I will see.
Have eaten good food all day, I just have to get through the evening which is my worst time for snacking.
On the plus side I swam 100 lengths (2.5 KMS) today, so pleased with that. I'm feeling a tiny bit achy, so I know my body worked hard.

JBD- evenings are my worst time for snacking too. I can be good all day but as soon as the clock strikes about 8pm ish, I get really bad cravings for sweet stuff.


Well done for your 2.5k swimming! I love that achy feeling after you have done exercise!

Sorry for the late reply, I was indeed at the gym! I managed to run 2.5km on the treadmill in 20 mins (had a 5 min walk in between) so pretty pleased with that! Puts me on course to run my 5k in 40 mins

If this is for a race, your time might be quicker. I find mine generally is if I'm racing, rather than just running.

Holding out so far. Had 1 chocolate digestive biscuit and went to bed.
About to get a hot chocolate.

Got the bike out today and cycled just short of 12 mile, it was like a mud bath!

Yay, well done (I tried to insert some clappy emoticons, but they aren't working for me)!! That's a great time too!


So, when are you going next?

Today is a rest/cross train day on my timetable. I'm thinking of checking out my local leisure centre for some swimming (don't have a pool at my gym sadly ) I think it's £4 per session for adults. I also need to buy a new water bottle as I cleverly dropped mine on the way home from the gym and it smashed!

Morning All


I am really pleased with myself. I had 1 choc digestive biscuit and then a low cal hot choc and went to bed Yay!
Feeling pleased with myself this morning!


Its rest day today, so no gym and no swimming either.


Bunnie- let me know how you get on with swimming. I keep on wanting to go, but it starts so early in the morning!


fin- well done! That's great. I am rubbish at cycling, and too scared to cycle on the roads around here.


Have a great day everyone!
