I have been eating too much chocolate recently so I resisted eating my last bar yesterday. Today is one of my fasting days so I am giving it away to avoid temptation. (CycleChatters need not apply - a friend coming round this evening has already baggsied it! )

Gawd, I cannot remember the last time I ate a bar of chocolate. Instead I allow myself a small amount of 70% stuff from Aldi with a dram at bed time.

Me and number two child pigged out on chocolate last night. The cravings were so bad, when I went to tesco to buy a cheapo computer, I spent more on surgery shite.

I'll be glad when I'm back on placement next week to some structure back into my life.

After another week of losing the plot, I may have to do something drastic.
I'm thinking about trying to do a week of fruit & veg only. Shouldn't be that difficult and I think I may well enjoy it. I will see how I feel in the coming days and when I have despatched of the 2 portions of chicken curry that I cooked this evening that currently reside on the fridge, I may be on it!

I should add that I just nipped over the road and bought nectarines, apples, bananas, apricots and was eying-up dates but they seem pricey!

Temptation resisted! Not only did I give the offending bar of chocolate away, I also turned down the biscuits which suddenly appeared from a bag when I came into the room with two big mugs of tea.

Tomorrow, is another day, and it's not a fasting day!

89.6kg. I'm going backwards. But to be fair to myself the last few days have been a real challenge in many ways. I need to run for my sanity! -----> 'Running for sanity' thread required. :-)

Been watching this thread with interest some great weight loss results, thought i would share mine in aug 2012 my starting weight was 15st-7lbs with B.M.I and BF both 30.5 now with a height of 5' 9" aged 46 a little to much padding for my liking. So decided to litterly get on my bike now on sunday passed i weighed myself have now reached 12st-4lbs with B.M.I and BF 25.5 and 25.7 respectfully So in 6 months a total loss of 3st-3lbs to say i am pleased just a little, all i can say is keep at it you will get there but its bloody hard work as for diet the biggest factor was the complete abstination of alcohol and white bread this seemed to really have an effect on me. P.S Glad i didn't sell the spinning bike for indoor cycling with the crap weather .

Lost just a pound this last week or so but I'm relatively pleased with that. Considering i have just abstained from all alcohol for a month i imagined going back on it would be my downfall. Fortunately i have more than halved my intake on the few days i have had a drink.
Even between rides i find my aches and pains are reduced which is a nice side effect.

 

[stevey]

To be honest billy1561 sat was the fist time i had a drink since nye and it didn't really bother me could quite happily got to local and not drink now, which i thought would be hard when i started cause i was a sucker for a nice few real ales/ beer festivals.

While my OH was pregnant I went t total and loved it. We're just finishing off the Christmas port and that'll be it for me. I put on 4lbs over that last month due to my daughter arriving (currently asleep and snoring on my shoulder) and having not been on the bike for a few weeks as a consequence. Was my first commute yesterday after paternity leave and it was great to get back out.

 

[billy1561]

I work 4 on 4 off shifts Matt and the 4 off were big hits on the beer regardless of my cycling. Really stupid but i was in a routine i guess. Anyway i aim to be more controlled after my dry spell an so far so good. Don't seem to have the urge as much now i realise i can go a month easily.
I bet its great to get back after a ride also with the new born and on that note many congratulations to you and your OH

After week 6:

from 240 to 240.6

I am going backwards! My excuse this week is I had to spend a lot of time at work and I got to ride very little. I am still enjoying the carbs for now with the cooler weather. When the better fruits and veggies start coming in I think I will be fine. I think the chocolate covered cherries got me this past week.

I hope to get more riding in this week, it is staying light long enough now here to be able to ride without lights until about 6 pm. Riding at night isn't so bad, it is just I prefer daylight riding. I am much more likely to ride in the daylight when I come home tired from work. Good luck to everyone this coming week.

Another pound down. That takes to a (net) loss of 3 stone since April. More importantly I look and feel loads better, almost athletic in fact and my resting HR is down from 70 something to low 50s. Even considering a half marathon . . . .

Even considering a half marathon

Have a whole one you deserve it
