I am sure you will reverse the slight gain and easy to do with life getting in the way and post race munchies.Have a lovely holiday :)

I have been on point for protein but a bit lax logging as a busy week and i have STS so I will be working on a weekly menu but an easier week next week.Also logging here each day as it makes me more on point if I do that.

Do anything that helps, Wp. Planning is certainly key for me.
When I told my coach that I'd gained weight this week, he told me it was his fault for not giving me the right tools to manage fuelling the additional exercise I've been doing. He is very sweet. I was 100% on plan yesterday and am feeling positive about today šŸ’Ŗ

That sounds great GM and what a sweatheart your coach is ,and back on track .Planning is letting me down with this busy time.Especially as I cook a totally different meal for Alun .

Yesterday
Today 8 mile run(longest run in 16 months)
yesterday 5 mile run
2 miles walk
protein102g
2 litres water already.
calories on point.

Last PT session Tuesday from this block.
Entered a favorite race which is back first time since 2019.I was having a purple patch that year so I know I will not be anywhere near that time.Especially as it climbs for first mile 300ft.It is old school paper entry,school bell rings the start no chip time and all the money goes to the summer show.Friendly and so supportive race HQ is the pub and only pub in village.

The weight I put on last week has virtually all gone. We have eaten on plan mostly and have walked and run some hilly miles. Afternoon tea on Saturday and 3 breakfasts - 1am cereal, 6am Macdonalds breakfast bun, 9am Costa coffee and a granola bar - then a pasty for lunch on Sunday wonā€™t have helped the great weight loss plan but havenā€™t made too negative an impact. I weigh the same as 2 weeks ago. Iā€™ll take that as a win.

Good going you two, my discipline is still pretty strong and the downward trend continues, despite a hiccup at my Dads 80th birthday tea, so pretty happy with that

Excellent lammo. There are ā€œeventsā€ in life and we just have to manage them the best we can. As long as they donā€™t happen too often, they shouldnā€™t knock us off track.
Sounds to be going well with your PT, Wp.
