Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left. It is an act, not a word.
It's bang wrong, at a time when so many of us are unfit, or leading unhealthy lives, maybe sat in front of computers or TV all day, & eating bad food, that Councils want to charge for healthy outdoor pursuits.
All the other Parkruns are continuing to run as usual. Last Saturday they had their highest ever attendance due to the publicity. Not a single runner paid a penny.
100 miles in a week challenge? Four full marathons? Eight half marathons?
If it's a running thing.......forget it.
If it's an all walking, or mainly walking thing, and if all goes well I see no reason why you couldn't attempt it sometime later this year. But I'd say now is way too early, you're probably best off keeping that one on ice.
"After a cash in the HT tournament (can you believe they made us pay to enter that btw??????)"
I know, outrageous, eh?
I'd like to ask you a question. Not a criticism or dig, but I'm curious why & what 6 question marks denotes. Serious question.
I see it a lot these days, & it puzzles me more than it should, I suppose.
Same thing goes for multiple exclamation marks, God knows why people do that. I suppose they think we can't read or comprehend the written word with any degree of competence.
We even see Forum threads with multiple exclamation & question marks. What is THAT about?
the one that intrigues me is the abbreviation of world wide web to www.
this triples the syllables from 3 to 9.
As to the lack of emoticons on a Internet Forum in 2016, could not agree more. I'm on that case, believe me I'm on it.
See how well it reads without all that nonsense....
"No smileys?
On a forum?
In 2016?
Really?"
Would you not think a normal adult could work out where the emphasis there is?
It's almost like that "does he take sugar?".
Jeez, I don't like being patronised, or spoken to condescendingly.
40.25lbs is massive, I'm pretty sure you'll get over the line this week, but huge respect no matter what the final weigh-in says.
Congrats on that first mile of continuous running too. The first of many I suspect.
Doh
Winning poker players have losing nights from time to time. It's no different with dieting, & the vagaries of daily weigh-ins.
A slice or two of toast would not have added any measurable weight.
Everyday "bathroom scales" can be affected by all sorts, too, including atmospheric/barometric pressure.
Here, have a peruse of this....

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
But you did NOT lose 2lbs this morning, it does not & cannot work like that, that's down to the inaccuracies of the scales we use.
You lose weight slowly & surely, & it really does not go up & down by 2lbs on a daily basis, it's just that is what those scales tell us.
Keep doing what you are doing, & you'll be fine.
In fact, I like what ya do, when you do what ya do, as Salt 'N Pepa might well have said.
^^^^
Great stuff.
My "rule" as to scale variance is that I don't accept the reading until I see it on 3 consecutive days. That's always been my rule, & I do the diet thing every year, & have done for over 30 years now. I pile weight on easily, & then take it off. Ridic, really.
Don't want to hijack your Diary, but as it's fast becoming The Diet Diary, & only you & me are currently hard dieting, it looks like, by happy coincidence we'll both reach our target weight within days of each other.
I was looking to drop 2.5 stones, & I'm currently 0.25 lbs shy of that number, so, allowing for 3 consecutive days, I'll get there roughly at the same time as you, all being well.
It's really not THAT hard, but it does require tremendous self-discipline, & I congratulate you on doing so well.
Nearly there now, the last part is downhill, with the wind behind us.
I plan to carry on for another month, then BOOMIO, it's back to bad food, yay.
"Not to sound rude but I'd imagine the weight is harder to shift as you get older?"
Absolutely correct, & to make it worse, it's easier to put it on at my age, too, so a bit of a double whammy there.
It takes me far longer to lose weight these days than it used to.
One thing I will continue once I am off-diet mode is continue my daily walks. That will at least give me some calorie headroom.
"I am looking forward to eating toast again though. So much love for the glorious hunger quashing qualities of brown toast"
Oh my, we are kindred spirits. Thickly buttered toast - very thickly buttered - is one of my biggest weaknesses.
Another way in which we are very similar. But scary that, as we actually disagree on so many other things.
I'm as bad as you with Bankroll, I am playing off an account balance of £2,700, but I never play above £11 games. I think you are quite similar in that respect.
It would really upset me if I knocked that in, having run it all the way up from £200.
Nits rule.
