Hmmm, I seem to have started this challenge the way I ended the last one...

I've not eaten too badly but I've drunk way more this week than I should've done. Wednesday's work do was bad enough but then my husband and I ended up having an accidentally drunken Saturday too. Oops!

Oh well, +1.5lb this week and I'm off to a festival this weekend which will involve even more booze and not always the most sensible food choices.

I really will get it under control one day...

Best of luck to everyone for the week ahead.

Well done Need2bthrifty, that's a great start.

Had a good day yesterday, nice run at lunchtime, lovely salad for lunch and then pasta and bolognese for tea with a couple of biscuits after.
Hoping to get a nice walk in at lunchtime today and maybe even one this evening.

Hi Frith

Do you want to set a target for the challenge or just play it by ear?

Frith

Hello, Brambling.

I’d like to lose a stone, please. I’ve lost 1 lb so far.

Today

B - avocado and sardines

L - same (to use them up!)

T - fajita left from yesterday.

Evening All,

Not much exercise done today as I had to be out early doors to go help out a friend and cba by the time I got back.

For my meals today, brekkie was same as yesterday, lunch was hm hummus, crispbreads, pomegranate, cucumber & radish.

Dinner was a bit of an experiment I had a couple of beef tomatoes and bacon that needed using so I cooked the bacon blitzed it in the food processor, I scooped out and half filled the tomatoes with the bacon some sad looking spring onion, sweetcorn that was lurking in the fridge, whisked up a couple of eggs to fill them up, baked until set and voila an alternative to crust-less quiche. I only managed to eat one with some green salad and a slice of garlic bread and found it quite filling, so I'll have the other cold for lunch tomorrow or Thursday.

I managed a STS this week. I'm going running tomorrow - I haven't been since my friend began to be really poorly. Just reducing what I eat never seems to be enough for me - I only had a significant loss once I started running. I'm going to start the couch to 5k again from the beginning to break myself in gently.

Cranky - good luck starting your running journey again. Easy does it to start with.

Need2bthrifty - your tomato recipe sounds lovely, what a good idea.

I had a lovely walk yesterday lunchtime and we had a nice evening stroll too as it was such a lovely evening. We even saw a very cute little hedgehog on our way back home.

Hoping for a run again at lunchtime today, although it'll be a warm one!

Looks like you've reset your weight after the London trip Cranky I've never been a runner I've always said I'm built for comfort and not speed and would require an industrial sport bra :rotfl: (sorry if TMI) a friend of mine is a keen runner and has done quite a few marathons well into her 60s. She tells me the local running club she's involved with does a learn to run 10 week course which I assume is probably similar to the couch to 5k so far I've turned a deaf ear to any suggestions or doing it. I'm happy to walk and regularly walk up 8 - 10 miles with my sister.

I love hedgehogs S_glover one of my sisters feeds them, they come up to her patio every night and she watches throught the patio doors, she has a small holding and they nest in her hay shed so she gets the babies as well. She will tell you to go away if you phone at feeding time

Weigh in later and I'm hoping for a lost this week
