I bet your right chuffed love , I would be , once again well done . Think about me in the morning , I'm running to work for first time , may as well, we have shower & changing facilities , so it makes sense , it's not that far , about half n hrs walk , but quite hilly . . Watch it take me longer running lol .

Well I'm doing ok , not finding fast days all that difficult , but my problem is. When it's a feast day , I tend to eat a lot ! I'm going to keep up with it but be a bit more controlled on them days , so far I've lost about 2lb . Get the Chinese & start tomorrow .

That's good 2lb is great :) I'm not finding today difficult I have had a apple and a pear and I will be having a small sweet potato and some weight watcher tuna stuff which might be just over 500 I'm not sure lol I am worried about how much I'm going to eat tomorrow I have told myself I can have a Chinese tomorrow instead and a raisin bagel for brekkie since my next run isn't until Wednesday which will be my next fast lol
