Emmy - massive yoyo-ing on the calorie front lol. I went about 1400 calories over budget two days in a row. This was mostly because I was not running on either day (one day intentionally one day unintentionally). I have come to realise that I have remained a big eater but am just running enough to keep it in check.
Today I spent all morning not eating because i was about to go on a run any minute, but the calls kept coming. I eventually didn't get out until 1pm, still having not eaten but not feeling hungry because i had drunk water and was stuffed silly from last night (mouth watering thinking about the pudding). I ran an extra couple of miles to burn off some extra calories and came home at 2.30pm and decided to have breakfast instead of lunch (porrdige). Consequently I am well under budget today and not even feeling very hungry. It is 7pm so I will try to have a modest dinner of a baked potato and beans (ok yes there will be cheese in there stop staring at me baaahhhhhh).. and then go to bed on time so i don't get trapped by the 1.5 thorntons cakes that are currently sitting downstairs.
That's the plan. I would put my money on there being a 'Oh my god I ate half a chocolate cake' post in a couple of hours 
Did 10 miles today instead of 8. I have definitely turned a corner in my fitness and runs. I run 10 miles at 10-10:30 m/m without it feeling like a big effort. I do not feel wiped out when i get home. Given a choice of running 5 miles at fast pace or 10 miles at a slower pace I would definitely find the later FAR easier and in fact look forward to the slow run as a mind clearing exercise. I think at some point I do need to add a 5th day of running in. I have not been doing the optional runs. I think I will make this a hill repeats, strides, or fartlek day. Not yet though..
