The frozen ground was good on this bit of the path which is otherwise a mire of mud. Bloody farmer fenced it off and now you can barely slip and slide your way to the other side (unless it is frozen like today|).
|These horse can sometimes be a bit frisky and inquisitive. When they first get let into the fields they go a bit crazy and crowd around the stile and scare the dogs. Today they were supremely unmoved and remained picturesquely at a distance.
The pretty village of Bradda hiding the haze.
Anyway off into Sheffield for a dental x-ray and some Christmas shopping which all went very well (lots of steps). Driving home was just gorgeous - I stopped at the Ladybower Reservoir to admire the view. Magical.
So, scores on the doors at the coal face of dieting?? Not bad Rodders, not bad. I had a horribly inflated starting weight after my 2 weekends of excess (and TOTM) so the 6 lbs off is probably a bit flattering but hey, I'll take it! It'll be back to slow and steady next week.
I was pleased that I managed to properly log my calories for 6 days out of 7. I know that Saturday was well over my calorie target as I had 2 pints of Belgian Blue and a glass of red as well as a cooked brunch and supper of slow cooked ox cheek with mash and veggies and apple pie for dessert!! However, it was a treat day and I didn't have anything else!
Also I was pleased that I managed to stop the rot straight away on Sunday with a run first thing. So, I'm still positive about the Fitbit inspired stepping and calorie counting.
My steps are improving. In my first full week I managed 71k but last week it was up to 92k and I hit 10k every single day. Likewise Active Minutes - first week 232, second week 409.
So there are 2 targets to aim for in week 3!
