    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    We kept ours but cut it back to minumum plus sports channels so Hubbles can watch southern hemisphere rugby. If it were down to me the TV would be Freecycled, end of story:p

    My gym membership is about to be cancelled as I can only really use the pool and the treadmill at the moment. Once its cancelled I will be walking to a local council pool and taking a swim and walking back:A

    Hubbles is keeping his though and I'll rejoin next April - it is something we both love using and it keeps us healthy...

    I took a 'holiday' from mine when I had Chloe - had to cos I had SPD and couldn't walk never mind use the gym.. But neither of us smoke or drink and its been the saving of me.

    As for sky, I would happily get rid but I do love my sky+ box... Invaluable with a baby, otherwise what else would you watch in the middle of the night...

    I managed to cancel movies and sports without anyone noticing for a good six months. Amazing eh!

    We are building up a gym in our garage, already have free weights and a big multi purpose machine, just need some cardio equipment in there now!

    In fact I can almost directly blame the Bean on increased libido caused by the endorphins I generated doing all that training before the 10k in May...




    cancel sky sports - I'd be lynched!!!

    You could always save some cash by going for a run around the block as a warm up instead of getting a treadmill

    I don't use it as a warm up, it's my actual workout!

    I used to go running all the time but as it gets dark hubby won't let me out for running!

    I've tried running with someone else but I have to have my music blasting on the MP3 with the beat EXACTLY in time with my running.

    When I was a gym member I would do 35 mins at a time on the treadmill.
