Oh dear, sorry I let the side down by not posting :oops:

Mon - 8.2
Tues - 7.2
Wed - 7.6
Thurs - 6.7
Fri - 7.2

Then it goes a bit haywire as I work nights at the weekend and I don't know morning time from my elbow! So no reading on Sat morning and Sunday was 7.1 (although I ate through the night, grazing on nuts, cheese, salad, strawberries and cream).

Monday morning looms and back to the routine of normal mealtimes and testing.
My goodness, you have a complicated routine - your numbers are not bad considering what you manage to do all week... :)

I had some beers watching sports
Naughty... :) beer is liquid bread... try a glass of red wine, white wine (with soda is good) or vodka/gin with a slimline tonic in a long glass with lots of ice and a slice of lime/lemon.. :)

I like peanuts sable thanks
Yes, but only a handful - have some cheese as well - no crackers though.. :) Frozen grapes are wonderful - not savoury of course, but they satisfy a craving, and you don't eat as many as you would if they were in the bowl in front of you...

Or all sorts of nut......Walnuts, Pecans, Cashews, or just mixed nuts.


Losing the weight will help tremendously in reducing your numbers. I was 232lbs 10 months ago started the LCHF diet and I am now 194lbs it has made such an incredible difference to my numbers. I probably walk about 30 mins every day very briskly but not always.

Neil
...but not honey-roasted and not too many... :) I sound like a wet-blanket... :sorry:

How did you get on with the half?
Very well thanks. Almost didn't make it to the start on time. Yes changed clock etc but was still sitting here at 8.15 when the race start was 9.30! Not sure what was going on there? Mental block or something. Anyhow made it just in time for the off and I mean just!

Weather was terrible but very enjoyable run. Aim was just to plod round at 5 mph which is going to be my marathon pace. So achieved that - time was 2 hours 28 minutes, hamstring came through ok and feeling strong at the finish. Even the fuelling plan worked - 50g peanut butter in a small, knotted freezer bag x2. Didn't even touch the pork scratchings but very enjoyable on the way home they were.

2 weeks to go now.
