Just did my first half with a stomach bug/ virus ... I was set for 1 hr 50 but got 2 hrs 14, mixed feelings!!

Grill the meat and then put some halloumi on and enjoy the flavour. Soooooo good!

Give it some time and take it slow, you need to get used to the impact. Your legs and joints will condition themselves if you build up slowly. Muscle attachments typically become inflamed if you aren't used to it (mine still do from time to time if I do a lot of running). Strength exercises can help if you know what muscle…

Friday nights are the time my partner and I drink and get a takeaway (usually a curry). I need a time of the week to let go and enjoy myself. Why not treat yourself if you have a healthy lifestyle generally!

After I had my gall bladder removed I felt a little odd for a month so I switched to having only egg white but I used to mix in a couple of table spoons of 0.2% fat cottage cheese with onion and chives. It was really really tasty with salad. Very healthy. It didn't last long I use 3 whole eggs, veg and a little cheese (I…

Nutella ^_^

Hearing this makes me think I should ask him to do more cleaning of high fixtures!But yeah stuff like changing lightbulbs in awkward places.

I've been in relationships with people who were taller and shorter and those relationships were not based on height. But the person I'm marrying and fathered my children is 6'4''. In all honesty, yes I like that he is so tall for many reasons. One reason being that I'm 5'7'' and he can reach a whole bunch of stuff that I…

There are loads and loads of gluten free replacements for pasta and bread. You can even buy gluten free pitta bread, rolls and muffins, cakes... The list is endless but it's trial and error till you find the ones you like. I can really recommend hienz gluten free pasta. Rice and potatoes are safe. Most things that are…

Huge gamer. ATM playing kill zone and battlefield 4 on ps4. Hated the latest COD. Favourite games ever are Mass Effect series. Really liked far cry and the last of us. There's just too much.

I have to wear socks to bed too! I can't sleep without them now :/

I don't know, I think I'm totally film desensitised :/ I guess anything which shows/ suggests harm to a child upsets me awfully. Id like to give an example but I think I've blocked any reference out...

^_^ tee hee maybe some of them! Bet I can do more press-ups at least lol.

I used to beat boys at arm wrestling in secondary school so yeah I guess so. I don't think I could do it now.

Heisenberg :(

Saw a nice looking 'salad' of grilled portobello mushrooms, caramelised onions and goats cheese ( I think there were some other grilled vegetables too).

It's an iconic burger but I quite like making my own since adapting Hestons method. Nothing better than freshly made with extra lean meat and freshly prepared toppings of choice. I want a burger now...

Eat it all yum yum

Possibly something to do with over/under pronation. I definitely second a good running shoe and gait analysis.

As a runner and a dog owner I trained my dog to never jump up on people. If I'm running and a dog runs at me I run at the dog and they always get out of my way . In dog understanding it's a sign of dominance. I never have a problem...

The comparison between the livers is also quite shocking.

I can't wait for it. In the UK we can only download a day later :( so I'm not going online from the 13th until I can watch it on the 14th!!

I was eating very little calories and exercising about as much. I stopped losing and was totally disheartened. But I upped my daily intake to no less than 1800. Usually it's a little more. I felt stronger and was able to cope with all the running and intense strength training better. Best of all I lost a kg after 2 weeks…

I couldn't run if I didn't enjoy carbs, of that I'm convinced.

Run 3-4 times a week, one long, one fast, 2 easy. Strength/ circuits 2/3 times a week (1 hour). Walking with very heavy double buggy 60-90 mins a day (got to walk that dog!)

I quit cold turkey and never looked back. I think I exchanged one addiction for another! However, not upset as exercise is a much healthier addiction! Good luck, you got this!

We used to have one and grill sausages . A huge amount of fat used to come out of them. Definitely getting another after our house move!

It sounds like you might have tried to fast, too long, too soon. I did this a few months back and pulled something in my hip/ back which lead to the same cramping and pain. I pushed myself to keep increasing distances after that. I could barely walk after each run and I knew it wasn't right. I had to bring the distance…

Well said!

I haven't ever listened to BMI as I don't really agree with it either. It's inferring that to be healthy you must slide neatly into a normal weight distribution. As a biologist the biology and anthropology is much appreciated!
