For Lynne and Sarah
Well done HM
I did my 10k in the usual time, which was cool since I walked about half of it and felt like giving up at about 2k from the end and was annoyed at myself for not training, then I go and finish in the usual time!
My right knee is grumbling at me though
I'm sure it'll be ok, but I think I need new running shoes!
more expense!
On Sat afternoon DH and I hired a Strida bike and had fun taking it round on the bus and the tube and riding it all over the place. We were thinking about getting one but it turns out that the folding handlebars and the folding pedals cost extra and put the cost of a completely folding bike up to £330 which was a bit more than the £230 we originally thought it was going to be.
I'm a bit peeved since I was down a pound on Friday and Sat but then I got the munchies on Friday night and ended up a little bit over calories. I had Chinese on Sat night and was ok with that - I had chicken and cashews which was probably fairly healthy, some Singapore noodles and an ice cream to finish off. I was pretty restrained. Then yesterday we met up with a friend and went to Pret for lunch, DH and I shared a hummous sandwich and a mozzarella salad - not enough protein for me, so I ended up with the munchies. Oh I also scoffed one of those Pret Love bars. They are delicious and EVIL! They're kinda shortbread with oats on the bottom, then caramel then pistachios, chocolate and pumpkin seeds stuck in the caramel
About 340kcals in the whole lot!
Went home and had egg on toast, then I offered to bake cheesy rock buns for tea so we had them with half rye flour (they are GOOD with that
) and I ended up eating about half the dates and pecans left in the cupboard and just about anything else I could lay my hands on while they were cooking
I also munched the rest of my Jelly Belly beans and then had a big bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes just before bed
Then of course the scales are up 2lbs this morning
HUFF! It's my own fault but REALLY! Gah! I guess I should've counted properly yesterday and made sure I had a chicken sandwich or something for lunch.
Oh well, today is a new day. At least I did some exercise since I got my rollerblades on for about 15 minutes!
Then I was bike-riding for a while too. I hope that 2lbs is just water. I was really pleased with being 12:5.
