Congratulations on the run and weight loss Kate! You're getting me excited about trying to run again...I want to lose a few more pounds so as not to jar by body to death when I pound down the street (or treadmill!) You're such a great inspiration! Keep up the good work!!

Exercise: Did i mention that i did a 7 mile run!!! and day 1 of C25K with Sophie

I've had another lovely day. I've lost 4lb, which has taken me to 50lb loss (again) I've now lost over 3 and a half stone (again) and now i have under a stone to go :hurray:

I went for my run and omg it was so so cold this morning and yes, i am that pathetic, i set my alarm to get up and go early! I warmed up after about 15 mins running but then got really cold doing the run with Sophie cos we walked lots. Sophie did really good, bless her and she is definalty up for doing the whole thing :) My legs are proper sore now and i think it is more due to the interval run with Sophie cos my muscles were cold. Came home, had my second breakfast then got into a lovely hot bath :)

I've spent the rest of the afternoon watching 'Downton Abbey' Totally love it :)

Jess I know, how great that i have got someone else to have a go at running!! That's you, my sister-in-law, Rob, Rachel and Sophie :) Sophie said that i should be a personal trainer!!! She said that i can persude people to do it cos they can see the difference in me, not just phsically but how much happier i am in myself. She also said that i am the first person ever that has managed to get her to exercise!!! Cool huh :)
Don't worry about your heart rate. It is supose to go at about 140 beats a minute when you are working out. Also when you get use to running you don't notice it anymore. A bit like you breathing, the fitter you get the more it slows :)
Spending time on our own is something we need to do as people i think. You will find you enjoy the 'mental space' you get while running when it isn't such an effort.
And thank you so so much for your wonderfully kind words, you make me blush :blush5:
Lastly.....I am so so chuffed that my run made you do yours when you wern't going to :hurray: :hurray: I am not going to let you give up on this, you do know that dont you :)

Sarah I started doing the C25K about 10 days after i started trying to lose weight so i was about 206lb then. Yes it was hard but it was totally do-able. I don't want to push you into it (well, yes i do really but i won't :) ) but don't think that you are too heavy to run. I managed it :)
And thtnk you so so much for your kind words, it really is appreciated :)
 
Kate, congrats on the 4 lbs lost and that awesome run you had.:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray: Way to go!!! You’re even tempting me to go for a run (on a tredmill):biggrin:
 
ADAY 199

Breakfast: 50g porridge (180 cals)
Lunch: 50g porridge, special k mini bites & 97 cal crisps (376 cals)
Dinner: 3 breaded chicken strips, salad, oven chips and courgette relish (400 cals)
Snacks: 3 coffees, 2 kiwi, cereal bar and 2 ricecakes (261 cals)
Total calories = 1217 but i am going to have a few glasses of red wine tonight to help me sleep, i'm a bit nervous about tomorrow :eek:

Exercise: Rest day!! I didn't ache as much as i thought i would but still thought it would be a bad idead to go to the gym.

I had a 'i'm starting to worry about my op' last night and desperatly needed to eat. I didn't have any choc etc so technically still a perfect day but i did end up having about 1900 cals (mind you, i did run 1000 cals off, so hopefully no damamge done)
I have had butterflies all day about tomorrow. Part of me wants it to come really quickly, just to get it over with but then i think about the fact that it will be really sore afterwards and i have heard so many stories about how sore i might be :( so i then want to change my mind and cancel it!

So, i am not going to make any promises about when i will be on here next and i am not even going to make any comitments about food either. I have done all my perfect days :hurray: but i am now going to take this week as it comes. I don't go back to work until next monday so i have plenty of time to recover.

Hope you all have an awesome week (and i hope i don't have too much of a Ben&Jerry's filled one :) )

Mady Go for it!!!! Do something like the C25K because it starts you off slowly and makes it totally do-able. And thank you so much for your lovely kind words :)
 
Kate i will miss you loads.II know that it is stresfull the day before any surgery but really you will be fine,and dont even think about food exercise just think of relaxing and taking it slow to get better really fast i really wish you no pain or if that isnt possible the least of pain.

Ohh, and congrats on those 10 perfect days.:hurray: You really accomplish everything you set your mind to.
 
AHi gorgeous! Isn't Downton Abbey just fantastic? I love it! It's good research for one particular aspect of my novel too - my favourite kind of reserach! ;)

Congrats on getting down to that elusive 50 pound mark, AND on your ten PERFECT days! :hurray::hurray: You are one hell of a superstar. I know I say it all the time, but you bloody ARE! :iagree: with Mady - you really DO achieve everything you set your mind to!

Thinking of you lots, my lovely, and hope you are doing okay and not too stressed about the op. Just look at how fit you are! You'll recover in no time at all. ;)

ADAY 200!!!!

Breakfast:.......................
Lunch:............................
Dinner: 1 slice of white toast with light spread and marmalade (155 cals)
Snacks: 4 Ginger biscuits & a breakaway chocolate biscuit (299 cals)
Total calories = 454!

Wow!! I have made 200 days!!!! I can remember saying 'hopefully i am still here and have reached my size 12 on day 200' when i was on day 100. Well, i am not at my target weight but i'm still here and i'm a size 12 (not that i feel it right now lol)

I am going to write these days down as if i had written them each evening, like normal.

OMG!!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!! So so sore!! I had forgotton how much i hated hospital and when i came round all i wanted to do was come home and curl up in my own bed. I lied and bullshitted my way thru so i managed to get home by about 2pm and went straight to bed. Later on i realised that i should have stayed a bit longer cos i was still out of it a lot of the time and there are big gaps where i don't remember stuff but i just had to get out of there. They were all lovely and looked after me really well, i just wanted my bed.
I had also forgotten thet i feel/am really sick when ever i have anything done to do with 'woman's things' like when i had my coil fitted i came home and was really sick and when i had Jack i felt like throwing up with each contraction (sorry Joh, you probaby didn't wanna hear that) Well, this was no different, i spent all day curled up round a sick bowl. I even slept with my face in it lol.
Mark and Jack were awesome, they left me alone but kept checking on me and fetching me everything i needed, Mark even found the hot water bottle, i nearly cried when i saw it :)

Food was a real struggle, i just couldn't swallow anything, i had to drink with every mouthful just to get it to go down, really odd, never had that before.

I was totally blown away with all your lovely messages, you guys are just the best :grouphug:

AKATE, YOUR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!:hug2::hurray::hurray::hurray:
It’s so nice to have you back. And even on track with the food….(how do you do it, woman?:confused:)

I’m sorry you’re feeling sick and in pain. Maybe tomorrow you'll feel better. Sleep is indeed a good way of getting better faster. I think there’s an unwritten law that says it’s ok to be grumpy when you’re a little sick and recovering from an op.:D
