Whilst perusing the freezers in the supermarket the other day, I spotted some tiny wee lollies. Now I am a sucker for anything mini, so picked them up.
Mini fab!! Just as yummy as the full size and only 47 calories.
Mini twister! This one is 45 calories.
You get a few different flavours of each in the boxes. I think these are great if you are trying to eat healthier, as you get a lovely treat without the amount of calories in a full sized lolly. I got some mini milks too, but they are not as fun as they have always been mini!
What do you have for a little treat?

Getting back out there and my Lidl compression socks
I talked before about the knee pain I got when I started running. I think I didn't have enough rest and that made it worse. So, I had a word with myself, and properly rested. This seems to have done the trick, as I have managed runs and gym sessions since with no pain. Once that hurdle was dealt with, of course I came down with a horrible cold. I didn't do any exercise when it was at it's worst, but the eased back in with a gym session. I managed the bike, cross trainer, and did intervals on the treadmill. The ones in my gym have a handy feature where you can set a slow speed and a fast speed, and change between them at the touch of a button. This is great as no panicking when you start to tire out and want to slow down. I managed 15 mins of alternate walking and running. I find I can run for longer continuos periods on the treadmill than I can outside. Does anyone else find this?
Today I went out for a run, trying to get back into my Zombies 5k training plan. I did week 3 run 2, and was pretty knackered. I still enjoyed it though. I think the knee injury has made me appreciate running, and only fuelled my desire to run.
When shopping for bargains in Lidl the other day (£3 rump steak, yum), I spotted these-
Compression socks for £2.99! Since getting into running I have read lots about compression socks but wasn't sure if I really needed them. They are supposed to help with muscle pain during and after running. I don't think i'll be wearing these bad boys out though! I have them on just now, and they do feel nice, like a little leg hug. I spose time will tell if they actually help. My favourite thing about them though? This-
Just in case you forget what you are doing, or have been doing. Good old Lidl. Also, they look super cool-
