DAY 26 & 27 Blog

DAILY UPDATE:
Having a lovely weekend although feeling a bit worse for wear after too much rich food and drinks last night.

FOOD: Pretty good although not as good as it has been during the week. I've been reminded again that too little food early in the day simply leads to eating too much at night. On both Friday and Saturday I was out and about all day so didn't really eat enough during the day. Then by the time it came to night time I found myself heading for the Almond Jar (maybe I should ban almonds from the house, he, he!)and with the inclusion of a couple of drinks it's so much harder to say no! Alcohol really weakens your resovle to stay on track!!!!!!!

* Did you know just 10 almonds have 73 calories, about the same as a freddo frog!

TRAINING:
FRIDAY: 60 MIN JOG - Had to do this on the treadmill as it has been torrential rain up here at the moment. I did about 10.4km and burnt 563 calories, although the treadmill said I had burnt 900 (that's why you DO NOT go by what the cardio equipment says you've burnt, use a heart rate monitor for accurate results!)

SATURDAY: RPM - The aircon was broken so it was VERY HOT in the class and I think I sweated even more than usual!!! Did a short 2km jog on the treadmill after class (Cam's idea....) and burnt a total of 448 cals!

I've actually already reached my calories burnt target for the week although I'm about to hit the streets for a run to get this yucky feeling of too many drinks out of my system..... plus I've got weights to do today!

WATER: Not enough!

DRINKS: 2 Red Wine Friday night & 4 Vodka and Soda's last night.

TREATS: 2 x Cappa's and a treat meal which included dessert, most probably too much for the one meal!

Anyway back on track this morning as I sit here motivating myself to go for a run......

Have a lovely Sunday.

Cheers, Hilds
