Well done! I'll find out tomorrow if I've lost anything this week, after two ice cream mishaps, but I'm not too bothered as I can see that I'm slimming down even if the scales aren't changing.

Ice cream is my weak point. I try really hard not to buy it, but other people persuade me - friends come over and bring it with them, or suggest we pop to the shop and buy some. This particular tub was given to me as a thank you for letting the welfare team store 30 litres (30!) in my freezer. I didn't eat any of them while they were being stored, and only a tiny amount at the actual event, but then they gave me almost two litres of what is actually really cheap nasty ice cream and I just can't resist it. Ugh. I don't even like it that much. I'd throw it away if I weren't so opposed to wasting food. Perhaps a friend will take it off me, what's left of it.

See, if mint chocolate chip tasted that bad, I'd have to put Hershey's syrup on it to make it taste better. I too stored the 3 large tubs of ice cream which were served at the picnic and again Monday night. My neighbor invited me to partake, but I was stronger than the ice cream while it was in my care. I find that one dietary binge, one mishap, doesn't have much impact on weight. But four in five days should have interrupted the downward trend. Still, the C25K program apparently is making us more conscious of what we're ingesting, and that and moving about are enough to show up on the scales. Good work, ladies!

Barmymoo:
I was already fairly concious of what I ate because I started using MFP (a calorie tracker) at New Year, but it's not consistent and some days I'm perfectly aware that I'm over my calories and I still eat the ice cream. I'm paying for it now with a horrible stomach ache.

The key to healthy eating is in the shopping basket. If you don't buy ice cream in the first place, it won't there to tempt you. That way, you only have to be strong once at the supermarket, rather than every time you open the fridge door. :police:

I try that, but then I just get sad when there's no sweet/salty junk in the house when I want it, and just end up grazing while looking for a substitute.

I did week 2 day 2 tonight, more or less. I have no distance/pace data because Stupid Reasons.
(click to show/hide)I've been using an app on my iPhone to time the intervals, but my phone died today and I can't find the charging cord. (I may have left it at my father-in-law's after babysitting, but I swear I put it in my bag but it's not there now.) So I borrowed my husband's phone, which is a Droid something-or-other, and installed a different, free app. But then it wanted me to install some language thing, and change the GPS permissions, and then he uses I<3Radio instead of Pandora and that had issues starting for some reason, and the dog finally gave up on ever leaving and laid down to wait. But finally we left, but I didn't go my regular warm-up route because I noticed that the work truck my husband drove home today had the lights on so I went over that way to check. And then the app volume was really low compared to the music and I couldn't find a way to change them independently, so I was relying on the vibrate to tell when to change intervals, but then something went wrong with that. I think it must have done a "halfway" buzz in the middle of a walking interval because I was running and then it buzzed and said it was time to start running. So I skipped that and went to the next walking bit. But we walked and ran a little bit extra at the end just in case.And it was stupid and the moral of the story is the Droid whatever-it-is sucks and I hate the touchscreen and the navigation and I want my charging cord back so I can just use my phone and the programs I've gotten figured out.

And something is up with my feet/shoes, in that my feet hurt and I think it's the fact that I'm wearing $30 shoes from Target that I ordered without getting to try them on. It almost seems like if I could get the tension on the laces just right it would be ok, but really I just think the arch support is in not quite the right place.
