I second Rosehips post excellent results going on which gladdens my heart well done.

I upped training last week and have seen a 2lb gain.....but hoping it is a blip and will right itself next week.

Had a shit stressy week - FIL fell fracturing his hip so much too-ing and fro-ing of mr frag to help out, then followed by away for nieces wedding, so calorie intake has probably been enormous :-(

I'll be nice to myself and not stress about the weight for a week

Try to ignore this week's blip, Wp and focus on how much progress you have made since you started.
That sounds like a stressful time, fraggle. Sometimes you just need to do what you have to, to get through the tough weeks. Good that you are being nice to yourself - that's important.

Morning! Managed not to have dessert yesterday and feeling positive about things today. With a recent very low key race win and some obvious weight loss (no scales available yet) I am hopeful things are on the right track. Keen to keep it that way for the next 20 odd days I'm home for.

You sound to be in a good place Ttontt.

I’ve weighed and measured a day early. Only 0.4kg off this week and no cms off. It is frustratingly slow but I have to remind myself that 0.4kg is a lb so that is about right.

So far I have eaten most of my lunch but not located biscuits which is a win!

Question for you

I eat breakfast at work as well as lunch. I get bored very easily of repeated foods!!

So ideas of portable breakfast (not porridge that's yukky!) and lunch please ideally with a higher protein content!

Morning!

Back on dry land. 2kg lighter than a month ago. Can’t believe it. Okay there’s dehydration and empty belly (Post poo and run, pre-brekkie - PPARPB 😂) but massive achievement after the indulgence of NYC.

Ran 8miles today, socially, with ‘Instagram friends’. Just been the library and bought a million word crossword dictionary. £1.

Nice to be home. How we all going?

I might enter Great South as lots of people offering £10 off which makes it almost reasonable.

Great south is a great race and £10 off is the same as early bird price so worth it.

Good result after time in NYC well done.

Morning!
Well done TTONTT, losing weight while on US portion sizes is no mean feat! There's a fetchie gathering in front of the D-day Museum prior to GSR on Sunday so, if you enter, pop along if you get a chance.

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?
