Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That's a sensible weekly loss Jaks. We get impatient with weight loss, wanting it to drop off quickly, but it usually took months or years to go on and if we find a good balance between calories in and weight loss then it is more sustainable. You are doing great.

300 calories over isn't massive, Wp, and you'd banked a few previously. You are doing well.

Think I’ve already eaten my calories for today. Had porridge for breakfast. Did a 13 mile undulating long run and hated the last six miles, everything hurt, negative mindset. Feeling very sorry for myself. Chocolate recovery drink when I got back. Cheese sandwiches and a packet of crisps, tea and biscuits.

Line drawn here

Will not eat anything until we have our roast dinner later.

If you are hungry before your roast, a protein shake would be a good option, Jaks. That's a lot of miles run this morning. Well done.

Thanks both of you. I’m ok about the calorie intake I’ve had today. Just didn’t enjoy my run.

I had a mountain fuel chocolate recovery drink made with milk when I got back GimmeMedals. It was soooo good 😊

I’m looking forward to my roast pork dinner later 😁

Shame you never enjoyed the run as a long way to run and not enjoy it so well done for sticking it out.
I only ran half your distance but enjoyed it;-)
