Well, now the holidays are finally over and the new year is upon us I am now eating consciously again (i.e. entering everything I eat in MyNetDiary). I still have chocolate, cheese and mince pies in the house but I will have to write them down if I eat them. We are re-doing our kitchen over the next couple of months so I am also trying to use up all the food in the freezer and cupboards.
I did manage a few runs over the holidays but not as many as I would have liked. I am now due for run 2 of week 4 of the bridge to 10k programme which is 3 x 18 minute runs with 1 minute recovery walks between and I can tell you it is really quite hard going! I don't know if its the weather (cold and wet in the UK) or the fact I am officially a lazy pot bellied Christmas piggy! Hubby came with me on my run the other day and if he wasn't there I definitely would have given up after the 2nd run. Instead I did it all and managed to cover 9.7km/6.02 miles and burn off 709 calories. Thats a hard slog for 6 mini mince pies!
All in all since the last count I have run 23.84km / 14.81 miles and burned 1791 calories but still managed to gain 4lbs! However that is not an official weigh in. As I said in my last post NewYears weigh in will be this friday so I will try to lose the excess by then.
Wow that's amazing! Way to push yourself:) I bet you felt so good when you were done!
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good when its done. Not so great while I am doing it though and especially not in the mud! :-/
