Yesterday was another good day for me.

Breakfast:- 2 poached eggs on 2 toast
39 mile bike ride
'For Goodness Shake' recovery drink on my return but then had to pop out so no soak in bath
2 protein bars for lunch
Banana in late afternoon
Then it was my father-in-laws 75th birhday so we went round to his armed with fish and chips for him, my other half and the 3 step-kids. I didn't have any but admit to pinching 2 chips and a very small piece of fish.
My dinner was late, Youngs luxury cod and prawn ocean pie 432kcals protein bar for desert.

Well done on not succumbing to fish n chips Mixman. I notice you're a cyclist, so is my hubby, mountain bikes are his first passion but he loves his road bike as well. Are you in training for an event? My hubby is off to Majorca on a cycling tour in 2 weeks, he's really excited yet nervous. Have a good day.

TB how're you feeling today? I bet you wish you could see Ming Ellens face when she realises you're not there

Good luck on the house front Rachel, I hate moving with a passion, we moved 11 times in 10 years (I'm sure I have gyspy genes) and it gets harder, thankfully I love this house.

Kat, Neen, Caz, Weeble, Ldavison (sorry if I missed anyone, the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet!) I hope you all have a productive day. I'm going to relax the rules today and have a chicken salsa wrap and mcFlurry for lunch mmmmmm and have a day off exercise xx

Yeah, I've got a 30 mile cross country race on he 16th April at Harewood House in Leeds. I do all my riding on mountain bikes. I did a 57 mile race a couple of weeks ago and this was on the road. I just wanted to finish and wasn't really bothered about what place I came. But I ended up coming 27th out of 47. All the others, apart from one, were on road bikes! So this time, I am bothered about what place I come and decided to up my training and ut out all crap and see what level of fitness I can achieve in a month.

I'm feeling really well at the moment. Yesterday my legs were really strong. I'm experimenting with energy chews/gels at the moment. See what time is best to take them and see how/if any of them affect me. So far so good. They seem to be working great and the timing I'm working on

Mixxy that pie looks very tasty. I used to love bike riding. I went to university in Hull and I rode a bike between the halls of residence and the university the first year. It was the fittest and slimmest time in my life. I would love to be able to ride again. I have a bike gathering dust in the garage but am too afraid to try it - plus there is nowhere safe nearby. I live right next to a park but they do not allow cycling which is a real shame.

I am still trying the cross trainer - I have done a couple of sessions on it but it makes so much noise and I know I am over the maximum weight limit for it I am afraid I am going to break it.

Sarah, I could not face seeing old Sue Ellen Ming today. Monday will do.

[tranquil_butterfly]

Hi all

Neen I am building up my walking pace as I go and I will try the exercises you kindly gave me. I have managed to download two of them so far and will do the rest over the weekend in between working. Will they burn onto a dvd?

My intake

Actimel
3 cups of coffee drunk through the day
protein shake
tomato soup
water - not very much

I will have a chicken soup later. Today is the first day that I have not felt discomfort since my fill so I am hoping, a week out, that things are now settling.

Hi Kat - you like the chilli sauce too.

[Katkit1]

Yummy - I`ve loved it for ages - it certainly spices up food that can be rather plain!





Love Kat x

 

[tranquil_butterfly]

I have to be really careful as I suppose it is high calories but I love it on everything. I limit myself to a drizzle. I have missed it being on liquids - don't suppose it would go with soup.

hi folks
Sorry I havent logged on for a while - I've been tryign to sort myself out. Snacking too much and eating the wrong foods because they go down easily. Also been away on a conference with work and because people dont know about the band i have eaten and drunk too much.
So - can I join you all in weighing in and logging my food please? Feel I need a time on the 'straight and narrow'.
I will weigh in tomorrow and start first thing
Good luck to you all
Jo X

 

[Katkit1]

Jo - Certainly, sure everyone wants to see you join us for our weekly weigh-in!

Glad to have you on board hun x






Love Kat x
