Crusty roll, a thick layer of cold, unsalted butter, a slice of cheddar cheese and a topping of salt and vinegar crisps.
That's culinary perfection, right there.
I haven't eaten bread for two weeks. Or spuds. Or pasta. Or rice.

I lost 3lbs in the first week and now I'm stuck. Nothing moving. It's infuriating.
Yesterday I walked from Whitstable to Herne Bay, then turned round and walked back again. About 12 miles. Sat and ordered my lobster with garlic butter and salad. Without chips.
Lobster. Without. Chips.
It goes like that. I was stuck on the same weight for a week and starting to despair and then suddenly one day I weighed myself and I'd dropped 4lbs. I don't know how it works, but it does.

Sounds good. I walked from Beckenham to Nunhead via Crystal Palace. Also 12 miles.
Nice. I did 11 miles around the Shoreham valley on Saturday. I also ran 5 miles on Saturday.
Still 79.4kg.
When you do your 5k on that machine, what speed/incline do you have it set to?Nice. I did 11 miles around the Shoreham valley on Saturday. I also ran 5 miles on Saturday.

Incline is always set at 1%, but speed varies, dunnit. Depends on form and how I'm feeling. Currently I'm struggling to get through 5k at 6.5 mph, I guess due to the lack of carbs - or it could be psychological, I suppose.
Under normal circumstances I use 7.2 mph which is a 26 minute 5k. Any faster than that and I start to ping hamstrings or suffer with gnee.
Yes, I'm at 6.6mph, which basically means 5k is done and dusted inside half an hour. Changing the incline sounds like a good idea in theory, but when you're doing it, it's really the last thing you want. G uses it quite a lot for her girly walking workouts, though.
My only - very minor - criticism of the machine is that its speakers are a bit pathetic, which means that unless you're listening to music, you can't make out your audiobook or podcast over the noise of the treadmill and the fan. I've gone back to using earphones, tbh.
That's the Darent isn't it? Did that last year, I think. Most agreeable.Nice. I did 11 miles around the Shoreham valley on Saturday. I also ran 5 miles on Saturday.

Yes, it's all very pleasant round there. Shoreham is a lovely villaga and there are nice stretches of the river to walk alongside.
