Re your comment seasidegirl there was theres not anymore.
I have being chatting to someone off a dating site for 2 months. We have never met and dates were arranged but she would either cancel or was working down south. I havent heard from her in days and being honest she did mention about being up next week and us going on a date.
I text her last night and said sorry it wasnt going to happen re dates etc etc I was nice about it. We fell out the day before my date with my new lady she got dead arsey over something i called her via text.
She comes over as a bit flaky. I think your new lady sounds much nicer!:)
That's a bit of weight you've dropped Scott. The gym price till end of the year appears reasonable though. You'll have to start on the tuna and egg white omelettes once you've joined!!:DFinally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Glad it all went well with lady . Goodness that's some kilos you have lost , is it through the cycling alone or have you been dieting ? My PA has picked up as well .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Hi Cumbria/Seaside re your posts it's via a bit of both really.
Bar the back issues I had earlier in summer for a few weeks I have being cycling anywhere from 60-110 miles per week, and when I go out I have being using a garmin or tom tom watch to ensure I am pushing average speeds etc.
I used to compete in bodybuilding years ago and all I have done diet wise is basically stick to a dead rigid diet. I do what's called carb cycling which is basically where you eat 3 different levels of carbs
Ie a high day, a low day and a mid day. The amount of carbs is varied depending on how much I am cycling distance wise on a given day.
It's complicated but I have basically being eating loads of meals that are chicken or tuna, with sweet potato and pineapple and spinach. I have being having 3 meals of this a day, but the quantities of sweet potato vary depending on output.
Breakfast is oat meal and two bananas with honey. Then I have 2 protein shakes a day I sometimes chuck in other veggies and I have 2-3 cups of green tea a day. I haven't dropped super quick maybe 1-2 lbs a week there was a couple of weeks I dropped more.
I also do once a fortnight what's called a carb load which is disguisting but works. I would pick a non training day, and then a four hour period where i had nothing on. I would weigh myself at the start then for four hours basically eat loads of sugary carbs every 20 mins ie cereal, ice cream, muffins, frozen youghurt, cakes, haribo jellys etc etc then at the end of the four hours weigh myself again. From here after finishing two hours later I would go straight back on the strict diet. For a week the result is eating all the sugary stuff kicks the metabolism into gear rapidly and once your eating clean again the body fats burns at an astounding rate. The weeks after the carb load I would drop 2-3kg hence not doing it often.Cashback Earnings YTD £46.04 Survey Earnings YTD £182.66

All that happened seaside was we were chatting via text and I called her Pet in one of the texts.
She was moaning about work and some project she was working on as she does some project managing thing re developing properties. She was stressing re it coming in on time.
I said look pet you have done your utmost to get it in on time I know that they know that, blahhh blahhh blahh.
And basically she went ballistic, I am a Newcastle lad it just came out in the text it's the way I talk yadda yadda so the other night I thought stuff her.

I dont think the carb loading would work for me Scott - I'd never be able to stop after four hours. :rotfl:
Still at least youre very positive and committed.
Re the cinema prices - I entirely agree. Just think if you've got a few kids as well! I now hit the Senior Citizen button when I order online - saves a few pennies. I've never actually looked though whether you qualify at 60 or 65!
