Hi Katie, welcome! great job on going 10 days without diet soda. I think the most days I've gone was 3 and then I had a "sip" of my husbands and that derailed me altogether. I am going to try to go on a soda strike myself. Any tips?

Right so I'm being forced to go to a festival tomorrow until Sunday. We are camping although paid extra for it all to be set up for us and have blow up beds!!! So two nights sleeping in a tent and three days being at a hippy festival - haven't heard of any of the bands playing but it should be an interesting experience. My phrase these days is 'suck it up' so I have to keep repeating that to myself! There is a catch though that it's a prerequisite for everyone to where fake beards! Oh my oh my help me!!!
In terms of goals for Friday until Sunday I'm going to keep them simple.
1. Spinning tomorrow morning.
2. Water as much as possible (slightly dreading festival loos)!
3. Keep it healthy where I can - eat fruit instead of snacking on rubbish.
4. Walk a lot.
I'll check back in on Monday! Have a great weekend!0 -

Morning Everyone!
Leela- Glad to hear you had fun.
Yesterday felt like real progress I've drawn up a meal plan for 3 weeks hopefully a month worth by the end of today, so that food doesn't get too samey or go to waste and just to make sure I'm getting a balanced diet really.
On the fitness front today is week 5 day 3 of C25k which is a 20 minute run. Up to now I've been doing little interval sets of 5 or 8 minutes followed by a little walking before running again. I know a lot of people can just bash out 20 minutes but I can't remember the last time I could run for that long. I'm really nervous and exited to see how it goes. I'm meeting my friend in the park in an hour.
Sunday's goals:
1. Run
2. Water
3. Supermarket
4. Make the most of my last day of holiday.
5. Tidy up a bit
Hope you all have a lovely Sunday!
