    Can't have chocolate :( No wonder I'm not up to any exercise regularly, I'm on about 1200 a day average - that's dangerous.

    it really was the power of positive thinking from you lot!

    Just before the lesson I went to the loo and imagined that all of you were sitting in the pub in Manc cheering me on:o:o and I thought about what a prat he is and how he has totally been sucked in by management to play their game and not his (which was once quite cool)

    I focussed on a picture at the back of my room (he hadn't shown up) and just started the lesson and once he arrived (after me seeing him outside and reminding him:mad:) each time I got nervous I looked at my picture and decided that I could do this the kids were happy snd enjoying the lesson and he could jump if he didn't like it.


    He said it was fantastic lesson, excellent SEN resources and very positive lesson with a great ending (a game)

    Its one step in the right direction. I feel so relieved and am very grateful to all of you and your very kind words last night.

    thank you xxxxxxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Well done Buffy, we all knew you could do it :T

    Just let us know when next week, and we'll be here with more positive thoughts xx
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    Are bananas high in calories? I think we have bananas. I'm not even hungry and I don't lose weight so this is bugging me now.

    I think a normal sized banana is about 100 calories, but its got potassium etc in as well so all good :D

    (thats quite a lot for fruit though ;))

    Cool, that's a start and found a fruit bar too ... 400 to go. Anyone know how calories should be divided up through the day roughly? Like 25% breakfast, 30% dinner etc?
