Distance trained so far (53.3miles)
Here we go again! I am not sure how far back this routine goes, but having put on weight last week, we are now down a pound (actually 1.4 pounds) and I am dead on 16 stone 10 pounds. Plenty of exercise (3 gyms and a badminton session), a treaty tea with Mum on Saturday, followed by a Chinese takeaway on Sunday (with a portion of chips), but otherwise a good boy with the diet. Happy with the result (yip, with a couple of scoops of peee!), but we are all thinking the same thing; next week's weigh in is the clincher. Can I break the habit and lose weight two weeks on the run? I really hope so.
It is encouraging that I can get away with a bit of food naughtiness and still - considering the amount of exercise I am now doing - have a successful weigh in. But I'm not going to make a big thing of it this week, keeping focused and getting on with it!! (I'm going to be soooooo cheesed off if I put on weight again next week....!)

Good news ... and fab news on the amount of exercise. I did have a thought (and you know how I like to share them!) ... are you keeping your pulse during training in the "fat-burning" zone? Might be worth checking with your trainer to make sure, as that will certainly make a difference. And then, if the weight is still on a plateau, you can be more certain that you are reducing fat, and increasing muscle :-)
Big hugs, and what a great achievement ... I mean to get a new photo on the right - noticeably different in the April one ...

@Wee_Ali Thanks for sharing! I am impressed by your knowledge of the 'fat-burning zone' (which for me is kinda like the Twighlight Zone but with more sweat). I do try and keep it low enough, but needing to up the distance means I 'go over' quite a lot of the time. No choice if I am going to get to 10k and beyond (possibly why the exercise is not having quite as much effect as I anticipated). Feeling fitter than I have done for years though!! xx
:-)
