Slimming World

Use the force @Saluki, don't give in to the dark chocolate side!

Went and did a 100km cycle round the New Forest. Powered by fruit and diet coke.
Much slower than I had been earlier in the year but that is down to not cycling for 6 weeks due to injury and just building up distance again now. Felt like a right heffer with all the lycra'd lot out today.

My Friend, in Solihull area, has gone from a size 30 and is now a size 24 and is doing well. Her Hubby is nearly at goal weight but he is a cyclist and a good 10 years younger than her. My friend is delighted to be at a size 24 and is determined to be an 18 by Christmas. She's much more committed to the cause than I am and swims about 7 miles a week. I don't have the joint issues that she does, being the same age as her Husband.

Mrs Ern1e has done amazingly to drop 6 clothes sizes. She is a credit to SW Do you display all your shineys & Certificates? You should, if you don't. My solitary one is pinned to the office door.

Cake = Borg. Resistance is futile.
Coffee Cake today 11 miles into a 42 mile bike ride. Off to give the dogs a quick 3 miles or so in a bit.

Never mind half stone next week then !!!

I must admit I am not eating what I know I should be. Maybe it's because I know that Tuesday is D day!

I am actually looking forward to it now...ad hoping that the group is better than the last time I went.
Saying that, I know a lady who goes to another one (it means driving there) but if it's friendlier then I may transfer over there as she goes to it so at least I'd know one person!

What are we, 40 calories per mile. 40 x 42 = 1680 calories burned less 250 calories of cake? I can live with that. I'll eat sensibly for the next 3 days and it will be fine. If not, another week will do. I'm more about not putting on than taking off at the mo. Riding is my priority really. On Monday (I am allegedly being paid by Utilita then) I will join Sportspark at the UEA. £45 for a 6 week membership. That way I can see if I like it enough to join for a year. I can go to aerobics then, on wet days and swimming on boiling days.

I've done it before and found it quite a good diet to follow.

 

[poynedexter]

having struggled to get my "weight" down to a slightly lower level, AND train for bike racing, i came across a fb page called "eat to perform". i have to say it has changed my approach to diet and training. if you want to be a cyclist, train, improve, and maybe live without fear of food, then check them out. they have a fitness/ weights emphasis but .....

I forget just how the saying goes' but is something like " If the means fits the end" then this is what you must do, I think the benefits you would get from a group you like going to would out weigh the drive. So go with your heart on that issue because lets face it turning up week after week would be better than not going at all.

 

[Ern1e]

Ok you good people of the SW thread after last weeks gain (two pounds) been tonight and (drum roll) this week two and a half off, so now a half pound under pat weight ! So it's looking like the fruit scone is defo on this week @Saluki lol.

Today is D day!
I am dreading finding out how much I weigh (don't have scales at home).
I am reckoning I have 7 stone to lose
