Moonwalk Training - 10 Miler brought to you with an oat baked bar
hihi!
lovely 10 miler this morning. I had the wind in my hair, the last book of the Twilight saga on my iphone and a oatbaked bar in my poket - its alll goood
I choose a really good route - the only down side of which was that you could see the kiosk with the 'you are half way there ice cold diet coke' from about two miles before beacause of the way the track worked its way around the lake
averaged a sweet 14min mile
off for a kip before a hip and happening party im going to tonight - vodka is portioned out and caloried for ready to go

Moonwalk training - 12 miler footstamping and tantrums
through a fantastic lack of imagination I just decided to do two lots of my 6 mile walk this week to get my 12 miles in. hmm...
the upside of this route is that it has a fantastic hill in the first mile so replicates the scotland moonwalk quite well - this was very good on the way there but did you know its really really hard to powerwalk down hill without falling forward or running a little bit. I think I'll need to practise this as running in the powerwalking marathon is Strictly forbidden
and the walking? well not too bad think I need to get my new trainers as I could feel my feet rolling in. however, my nutrition left something to be desired - I need to get up earlier so I can get more some stuff down me. not doing this today meant that I had a really energy dip at half way causing an enormous footstamping tantrum in the middle of the very heavily tourit pack town we had walked to. i ate a few malteasers and felt better - so ipso facto i should eat more malteasers lol
o well will remember for next week with an easier 10miler

Moonwalk! bonus mini walk 4miler
whoop!
just thought i'd pop in a training session from today - weather was beautiful today so decided to add in a little 4miler to get over my nonwalks of the last two weeks. was pretty easy and i went round in a little under an hour meaning finally im back to pace.
however my shins were really sore today so fingers crossed its not shin splints. what i really need is a pair of fancy pants trainers that will correct my rolling in feet. however that will require money and i am currently relying on the boy for money after (yet again!) losing my debit card (tidiot lol) so will have to wait for replacement to get here.
the gutting thing was my audio book has also finished and i cant get another on until the bliming card arrives either - going to be some very boring walks this week!
anywho this week i am planning 2x3milers, 1x4miler and 1x12miler - wish me luck!!

Moonwalk training- 8 miler
woohoo! its raining!! which means no more snow -woopdewoop!!
so in case your wondering this is the plan i am following - and as you can see week 6= 8miles long walk get in!!
i decided that my usual thames path was faaarr to boring to do again and decided on an ambitious track round a nearby roal park. good idea?! - NO! first its still really icy in the park so i slip slided around which would have made me quicker if it wasnt for the second fact - i got bliming lost! at one point i followed a path only to find it chucked me out onto a waterfall and another that chucked me out into a forest GREAT lol.
this all would have been fine if it wasnt for the fact that it was:
a) raining
b)cold
c) getting on when i had football to go and watch
d)my iphone/gps was running out of battery and i was convinced i was going to get lost in the forest
my car was the best thing i had ever ever seen!
soo how did i do? rubbish!! i think it was a combo of the fact that i hadnt drank enough (id poured myself a drink and promptly put it down and lost it in the flat - it is still yet to be found 10 hrs on :-s. i can just imagine the boy finding it at some point this week and thinking im a right ol' nutter even more than normal!) and that id bolted down my porridge because i was running late. what was good was the fab podcast i listened too by the wonderful mizfit and dietgirl and my lovely audio book (the idea for which i got from reading dietgirls moonwalk training - i told you she was fab!)
next week 12miler - i may go back to what i know and walk my normal thames path way lets wait and see
oh and more snow due for tuesday ....grrr.....

diet wk2 - see how we go...
sooo for all you holding your breath in anticipation - i did it!!!!
i stepped on them scales - and after 1 week on the diet after 8 weeks off i am the same weight i was last time i hopped on the scale - get in!
and i have found a fablous new weightloss website which is really helping me out. basically when i did ww everything was in points but now i am tracking calories. well i say i am tracking but really the website does it all for you which makes it even easier.
really it makes no difference you'd think tracking points or calories surley- the argument would follow that as long as you end the week on a sufficent calorie deficit you'll lose weight. however when you think about how the point value of an item is found (which if you dont no you can google - i aint getting sued!) you realise that a large amount of calories on the diet is equal in points terms to a quite small amount of sat fat. and besides surley the calories of a food include all componants of the food - whether thats sat fat, fibre or protein - added together. Bearing in mind that we know that fat has the largest amount of calories per g then surely thats being taken into account and if i add on the satfat to get the point then i am counting it twice?! no?!
i did some rudimentary maths and worked out that if my food had no sat fat in it then i would get 1330 calories a day on ww but if it has some sat fat then it could be well less as i would have less calorie points as some would have been used up by satfat. at nutracheck i am on 1400 which is pretty reasonable and liveable...
anywho lets see how i get on on it non? i did lose 3 stone on ww so im not going to rubbish it completley but still let me know your thoughts... i might be right off track here!
according to nutracheck if i stick to the plan i'll lose about 1.5lb a week and hit goal on the 17th march! lets see how we go...
