Warning, high calorie content

So the Magic Plan clearly says to have a treat at the end of each week. So, after completing all three runs of week 1, I decided a cream bun was perfectly acceptable.

Calories burnt while running - 1138

Calories in cream bun - 274

I could have a few more 🤣 YUM YUM YUM

“Enough’s as good as a feast”, my old mum used to say 😁

That looks yummy A bit of cake is a goodly post run treat, if you’re running far enough that is 👍

It sure is, thank you :) I am going for cuddles very soon and cannot wait. He was a big inspiration in me losing weight, starting running and stopping smoking as I want to be around to see him have children of his own :)

And you deserve it. I've just had a homemade spiced apple muffin, didn't last long enough to take photo.

That looks delicious and well done on completing week 1.

I’m on my second attempt at the magic plan due to injury and have just completed week 2 which I did twice.

I had totally forgotten about the treats but have just bought myself two long sleeve running tops and the other week a chest torch so now I don’t feel so bad because I worked for them! Thanks for that reminder. 😊 Happy running.

How's the chest torch going? Have you got used to it bouncing around our have you found a way to stop that happening?

Oops, my mistake. It was someone else that posted about buying a body torch and it bouncing around.

But either way, how do you find it?

in reply to Bike_and_Run

I must say I really like it and definitely prefer it to a head torch. I hardly feel I’m wearing it and the light distribution is great. I can definitely be seen and it has a triangle on your back which is also really useful.

I’ve just bought one and I love it too. Mine doesn’t bounce around and I feel so much safer with it on (and I can see where I’m going!)
