I run outdoors, and go running at 6am before work. Last week it was between -3 and zero degrees centigrade on the days that I ran. That is between 26 and 32 degrees fahrenheit. I don't think anyone thought I looked silly. To be honest I was too busy trying to keep going and keep warm to care! I wear lots of layers so that…

For nice relaxing practice I like Elements am/pm yoga. There are two 30 minute sections, one for mornings and one for evenings.

Thanks.

01/12 - 20 mins running

1.5 miles run/walked this morning

Aiming for 100 miles this month. I know I went well over 100 last month but I am switching a lot of my miles from cycling to running and so they will be a little bit harder to mount up.

My yoga teacher blogged about doing this last week. I'm not sure that I'd manage the whole 108 though!

I started at 210lbs, and I did a lot of walking, cycling and swimming. I am now 168lbs and still walk, swim and cycle but have also started running. I also do yoga.

I want to maintain at 12st despite the many office parties, chocolates as presents from the children in my class and Christmas with the inlaws. I also want to keep going with my C25k programme.

2 miles walked today for a total of 153.5 miles this month. I am really pleased with my total, so a big thank you to Dinos and everyone on this thread for keeping me motivated! Ready for MYAC December now :bigsmile:

Yay a new thread for a new month! I found the November thread really motivating, looking forward to logging on this one to get me through Christmas.

I drink mainly water and fruit tea (which is about 4 calories per cup). I have the odd diet coke but try not to drink too much. When I want a coffee I go to Costa and have a Primo Skinny Cappuccino which has about 65 calories. A lot more calories than fruit tea, but it feels like a treat.

Did anyone accuse us of starving ourselves? <brushes ginger biscuit crumbs from around mouth> What did I miss?

The pudding that I am most drawn too is actually the cheese platter, but that is going to be a calorific nightmare isn't it? I do miss nice cheese though. Maybe if I have melon to start and then turkey (leaving the skin and trimmings behind and choosing boiled veg rather than roasted) I could treat myself to the cheese. At…

Mamgu and Nain, but I'm Welsh.

I am using the 60 second running plan first before doing the NHS C25k as I am asthmatic (and overweight) and I don't think I'll be able to keep up with the C25k straight away. The 60 second running plan takes 10 weeks, and builds up intensity more slowly - you are still doing intervals of walking in between the running on…

And yes please I would love to keep the journal going in December

8 miles added today (6 miles cycled, 2 miles walked)

Totally agree. I live close enough to work (just over a mile) to walk there and back every day, and I walk the children to school at the same time. If I go into town I usually catch the bus, and as the nearest bus stop is half a mile away I walk to that. People think I'm odd because I walk everywhere, but I think they're…

I have been rewarding myself with exercise related things. After losing the first stone I bought myself a new swimsuit and goggles and booked some Adult Improver swimming lessons to improve my stroke. After the second stone I bought myself a stationary bike as the weather was turning autumnal and so the cycling I'd been…

I tend to feel sick if I exercise within an hour or so of eating. I prefer to exercise in the morning before breakfast.

I can see a huge difference, you look fantastic! Well done.
