34.26 miles of walking done this week. This would have been more but the weather has been so pants I got the bus a lot on Friday and Saturday!

953.79/546.21

I need to do 19.5 miles a week to hit my target by the end of the year.

Sea swim today estimated 500m, it was probably more but it was hard to tell with chop and waves. Hope to do a long run Monday after school drop off.

You must be doing pretty well pink, I worked out I need 3miles/5km a day running to hit my 1000 miles too. I haven't worked out exactly what I need daily til the end of the year, but I reckon I'm only slightly over target at this (almost halfway) point.

pinknsparkly · 13/06/2019 10:36

I need to seriously up my game.... Need to walk 3.75 miles every single day between now and the end of the year to hit my 1000 mile target Shock. However, I have set myself the rather ambitious target of doing all my miles as "deliberate" miles, recorded using RunKeeper. I'll still be happy if I hit my target using all steps recorded by my fitbit, which I'm on track for (but have a nominal target for my fitbit target of 1500 miles)

Only bonus of being wiped out is I’ve lost 4lbs 😂normally takes me 4wks not 36hrs to lose that!
Hope to go for a walk tomorrow as my strength returns. Then fingers crossed a short run on Monday.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 07/06/2019 19:00

Did 6.5 yesterday and 10 today, making 810/190

thenewaveragebear1983 · 07/06/2019 11:27

Tri oh no! Hope you feel better soon. Thanks

TriSkiRun99 · 07/06/2019 08:08

Still in bed sick, as D&V bug wiped me out yesterday just as I was feeling better from the cold Sad fed up now. Zero exercise for 8d now and it will be a couple more days before I’m up to anything.

TriSkiRun99 · 05/06/2019 16:07

Won the crown on Strava, all time fastest female on a segment near my house! Very chuffed, but also very aware that only runners will appreciate this!! Grin

Zero exercise for me as really struggling with this “cold/virus” had eldest DD off school 2days as well with it. Can’t even motivate myself to do some yoga, keep telling myself the olde mumsnet mantra “this too shall pass..” been reading up on all the healthy food and exercise I should be doing (whilst eating smarties Blush) grrrr hopefully I can get running again soon as not ran since Thursday last week.

Hi amy, I follow this plan:

Blood sugar diet and Fast800 thread 15 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/fasting_diet/3593022-blood-sugar-diet-and-fast800-thread-15

which is basically no bread, pasta, rice, grains, or sugar (or sugar in its many forms such as honey, maltose etc,) and as a result, fruit is limited to low fructose things like berries, apples etc. I do find though that limiting fruit actually really helps cut my cravings for other sugary things; I'm very fructose sensitive I think.

amysaurus87 · 03/06/2019 03:46

47.34 miles of walking done this week. Happy with that, I've walked into town 3 times this week as my little boy has had his settling sessions at nursery.

883.82/616.18

How does being sugar free work @thenewaverage do you still eat fruit and stuff or is it just processed sugar you avoid?
