i really enjoyed getting back into the swing of things last week. i did all my runs as planned but didnt really enjoy them. it poored with rain on thursdays run and again on sundays run. my trainers from thursday took 3 days to dry LOL
my six miler yesterday went smoothly as and usual my last two miles flew by and i had my running legs so i felt i could of gone on for a few more miles but i stopped myself as i dont want to overdo things and stick religiously to my plan!
i ate a fair bit yesterday but i did have 2200 cals to consume. LOVELY!!!! had things like:
porridge,
eggs, beans, toast,
vege grills, vegies and rice
crumpets and butter,
10 cadburys fingers and a 2 scoops of dairy milk ice cream!!
Food for today is nice but quite average but my content of carbs/protein isnt great:
Percent Calories From:
Carbohydrate (52.2%)
Protein (16.1%)
Fat (31.6%)
Alcohol (0%)
1663 cals
MUST try harder tomorrow. i'd like my carbs and protein to be as equal as possible but as you can see im far from that today!!!
Workouts for this week:
M rest (walk to and from work, 2 miles)
T 3 mile hard run in gym
W circuit training (looking forward to this!)
T 3 mile quality run
F 3 mile easy run
S rest day (hen weekend in cardiff bay)
S 7 mile long run - think this might actually kill me doing this after a night on the tiles!
EQUALS = 16 miles

BOOOOOOOO
well, weigh-in day today. i gained 1 3/4lbs in two weeks.
im slightly shocked but not dissapointed as i know how to loose the weight. eat right, train hard and it will happen!
today is friday so a fresh start.
todays food is yummy especially my chicken chassur and vege tonight - yummmmm
my run last night was WET WET WET. it was raining fairly hard when i left the house but it got progressively worse as the minutes went by! by the time i got home i was soaked through to my nickers LOL i stripped off as soon as i got through the front door, the dogs came over to me in their usual excitable way but soon ran away from me when i dripped all over them - they hate water! snoopy ran off with a wet sock too which she thoroughly enjoyed sucking on for five mins or so - very gross i know!!!
Stats for today:
Carbohydrate (44.4%)
Protein (27.3%)
Fat (28.4%)
Alcohol (0%)
1750 cals, 1400 + 300 from walking to and from work - used HRM
really looking forward to the cimena tonight and spending time with my boyfriend (hes been on nights all week and i was away last week so 2 weeks without seeing each other properly!)
i have 9 miles to run over this weekend, one 3 miler and one 6 miler. i never usually run on consecutive days but my training plan from ironbridge runner says to do this so ill give it a shot. if i find on monday my legs are battered i might change my saturday shorter run to a day in the week, possible a friday monring before weigh-in. we shall see....

im sooo tired today. ibiza is becoming a distant memory but the effects of little sleep over 7 days is still on going!
i thought i was having a higher carb day today as im having pasta for lunch. i have a run this evening and have planed to have carb based lunches and protein based dinners on days that i train. however, my stats below reflect a different story. my high fat content is from some pesto, olive oil and a little cheese that im eating so not too bothered that the figure is too high just for one day (and its all good fats right!?!):
Percent Calories From:
Carbohydrate (32.5%)
Protein (27.8%)
Fat (39.7%)
Alcohol (0%)
EDIT: (changed my lunch from pasta to a potato and beans as i didnt fancy my pasta in the end!)
Percent Calories From:
Carbohydrate (43.1%)
Protein (26.4%)
Fat (30.5%)
Alcohol (0%)
im really looking forward to my run tonight however i need to go onto mapmyrun.com soon and plan out some different routes as my three mile route is getting quite tedious!
i have a new dance albem to listen to night which im really looking forward to listening to! i love to run to new music every few weeks - it keeps me going and often makes me faster - result!
im off to the cinema tomorrow night to watch the new bruno movie and im planning on treating myself to a strawberry cornetto - at only 180 cals i think its worth it and as simon will be sat there with a BIG bag of M&M's i need something to keep my mind off those. luckily he'll polish them off within 15 mins so i wont have to be dribbling over them for hours whilst watching the movie!
feeling bloated today but i have had cheesy beans on toast for my last two lunches this week which i know is the culprit! ill have it occasionally but twice in a row was a bit much for my poor tummy - its huge today LOL
weigh-in tomorrow - arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

bad pics of hols to help spur me on!
ok pics of holiday. some real shockers - my arms are HUGE and i have a bad case of back fat under the arm where the bra straps go!!! there are worse but they are on my friends camera - ill get hold of them soon and post them!!
Back from Hols!
i had a ball in ibiza! danced all night and lazyed around catching some rays during the day. only downside was the lack of sleep and im paying for it now!!!
my food out there was delicious. lots of grilled chicken with salad and fijitas (without all the wraps and sour cream etc). i have to say it was sooo easy making healthy food choices out there. i had a few baked potatoes with cheese too which were just yummy!
each day id have an ice cream for my lunch too but i didnt feel once that id over ate or been really bad so im very pleased with myself! im hoping on my friday weigh in that i havent acutally done any damage or maybe even lost half a pound maybe!?! we shall see!
right, from today and every week day from now on i pledge to log my intake of carbs etc for the day. so here is todays log:
Percent Calories From:
Carbohydrate (44.3%)
Protein (21.9%)
Fat (33.8%)
Alcohol (0%)
No exercise planned for today as im sticking religiously to my 16 week beginners half marathon training plan, courtisy of IRONBRIDGERUNNER.COM i will add some more weight into the programme but my arms have really bulked and its very noticeable in my holiday pictures so im giving them a rest for a few weeks until ive burned some more fat.
This weeks workouts are as follows:
M - spin + leg weights
T - 3 mile run
W - rest
T - 3 mile run + leg weights
F - rest
S - 3 mile run
S - 6 mile run

weigh-in today. i stayed the same. a little bit dissapointed but not going to let it get me down.
i measured myself today and i've lost 1inch from under my bust so im pleased with that! i thought my back looked less porky in my pictures yesterday which is why i remembered to measure there this morning.
ive been finding im measuring myself each friday and ive not been getting any changes for 3 weeks or so. so as its a new week starting from today and as im on holiday from tomorrow i can no long daily weigh (bad i know) but im starting a fresh. only weighing on a Friday am and only measuring every 3 weeks.
according to my WLR fat percentage (not sure how accurate this is) but im 0.9% away from being in the normal fat percentace range.
am currently 33.9% - i was a shocking 38.9% in Jan 09!
ive still no idea what weight i want to be ideally or what fat percentage id like to be.
im giving myself a goal though of 8lbs off before my next 10K race on 20/09/09 - thats 10 weeks after holiday - i do hope this is doable ! i recon it will help improve my time in the race too having less podge to carry around!
im in holiday mode as of this morning, just one day left at work and thats me done for NINE WHOLE DAYS! WHOOP!!!!
exercise on holiday will include:
walking
swimming
tennis
dancing
lifting cocktails and
crawling home at stupid o'clock in the morning!
im dreaing my first run back after holiday, think ill keep it to a short 3 miler and not worry about my time for a week or two until my fitness is back!
one last body blitz tomorrow morning of circuit training and weights session after then home to clean the house, have a power nap and then off to the airport for me!
