    24 flights of stairs done already, I'll do a few more before I go home and that'll do for today. Dinner is being cooked by OH so no idea what it'll be!

    Dragon, keep going luv!! Only 400 cals so far today, I probably ate that for brekkie! :D

  • Tara - I have a very funny visual image of you walking up and down the stairs at work for no apparent reason looking really pleased with yourself. Much to the bafflement of your colleagues - LOL! I'm very impressed though, how an earth do you manage so much stair walking? Do you get funny looks? Methinks our office with it's massive 2 floors is probably too small and anyway, I don't think I need to give people here any more reason to think I'm a bit strange :D

    Dragon - yummy, an omelette, I reckon you may have just sorted out dinner for me too! Glad you're upping you're calories intake. With regards to being more physical - firstly, don't knock the positive effects sex have. As well as releasing endorphins to make you happy, it is a form of exercise so enjoy! Secondly - when you're back to full strength, do you tend to walk or cycle much? Not sure how much a dodgy pelvis restricts you but guess it is a pain.

    poshstock & studentmidwife - well done on fantastic losses! really inspiring to hear about, makes us all think there's hope for us too!

    taffy - welcome to the weight and food obsessed madhouse!

    marmalade - there's plenty of days to be good yet so don't sweat the slip up!

    so i've been quite good with my eating, am using lazydaisy's calorie count website idea so having something else to obsess about now :p

    still aching from my davina dvd and walking/gym at the weekend so reckon i may give myself tonight off from exercise and go for a run tomorrow instead. will see how i feel on the drive home.

    talking of which, i'm going to sign off for the evening. catch up tomorrow Peeps!

    hugs,

    mmmmm Omelete, I really fancy one now you have mentioned it Dragon!!

    Tara - go you! You are going to reach your goal in no time at this rate!

    I've just done 35mins on the wii fit - jogging, boxing and some stretches. Will do some more during CSI later, maybe 30mins free step and 30 mins free jog. I'll see how I feel later! Got to do something to keep warm anyway as workmen have taken the old boiler away (and put it on the pavement outside the front door :confused:) so we have no heating or hot water again for tonight. Dinner will probably be steak and ale pie as OH has just text and asked if I can cook something that leaves him very little washing up as he is tired! I'll only have a small portion though.

    I walk with crutches (and only for short distances) because of the shattered ankle - beggars up the idea of cycling as well!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    I have been really good today and yesterday too :j

    I have also dusted off my exercise bike again and used that the last 2 days. I have a lovely romantic hotel booked for 1 night at the beginning of April for hubbys birthday and want to buy an outfit to wear in the restaurant in a smaller size :rolleyes:

    Good luck everyone :D

Lost loads of weight last spring on the Cambridge Diet but seem to have put a stone back on. I think the disappointment is stopping me trying again. Kick me up the !!!! someone!!!!
