@BIWI I think that makes it even more impressive. It's one of the reasons I don't ask for sponsorship for my races as I enjoy them too much it feels unfair! So I am very impressed you stuck with it even though it wasn't your thing - I'm no good at doing that at all!
@colouringindoors you're so welcome - I've received such incredible support on these threads I'm just touched to be included in someone else's roll call.
I'm not sure about officially joining the next bootcamp as although I'm sticking with LC for the foreseeable, I go away with work on 31st for 2 weeks and it's going to be desperately hard as so much of my time and food will be out of my control. I have various strategies (learnt from these threads!) and I'm also going to find it very hard to check in on the threads due to being very very fine poor.
My 4 days in Rome were glorious - I indulged massively on the pasta / gelato / bread and did pay for it. Nothing to be gained apart from negativity if I step on the scales so haven't bothered with that - but I felt pretty shocking too - nauseous, bloated, abdo pain and just heavy and full. So it was very easy to start with a massive long fast yesterday with just dinner and again today. I'm feeling better already!
Meal plan done and shop ordered today so should be easy for the next week at least. Prepped a huge vat of coleslaw, made more vinaigrette, boiled a dozen eggs and I'm ready!!
Meal out on Sunday for DD birthday but haven't had a naked burger for a while so that's usually available in most places.
Decided not to do the strict reset as that doesn't work psychologically - plus I think my distance running means I empty stores quite quickly anyway. So I'm on BC light but making sure I try to limit the 'light' to 1 thing per day rather than all the things, all the time
