    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.

    Hi Pap - Someonoe on the exercise thread in the arms got that game you were asking about to test (its her OHs job ;)) and wrote up this summary of it because I said you were asking about it:

    Becky - just thought I'd give you a quick summary of this DS walk with me thing (from a quick go yesterday).
    So it's basically a clip-on pedometer. It will record all your steps throughout the day. You can point it at the DS, press a button and it will show you what your activity level/number of steps was like during the day. A graph appears that shows white areas (no activity), blue (activity - in my case: cooking, a bit of housework) and red (heavier activity - we went for a walk).
    The DS can show you the information per day or per week.
    I wondered if it's targeted at children as well (not a bad idea I suppose..), as it's a bit childish in presentation. You can connect to your wii and download your mii onto the DS (IYSWIM???) - you can choose what your character wears, the DS asks how you're feeling and you get some hints and tips (so far, to eat healthy and go to bed early).

    Hope that helps with deciding to purchase :D

    Happy birthday Sammy :D

    You OK Bookie? We'll have none of this keeping quiet here :p

    I want to answer 'I'm fine' which is what I usually do! I'm actually coming to realise that I'm not and I think that might be quite a positive move! I will be ok though - just need to get sorted!

    It's fine to be not fine, but not always easy to admit it. Have a big hug :grouphug: and don't go quiet on us!

    If it starts raining in Yorkshire I apologise.
    It's my fault for risking hanging out the washing

    I txted Bunny - she swore at me and then wished me happy birthday :rotfl: thanks for all the birthday wishes...i feel quite speshul....

    Bookie - a pat on the back is deserved methinks...you are having a tough time through no fault of your own. That first step is always the hardest....

    Keep posting away....

    (I would seriously have lost my marbles if it wasn't for you lot - and I struggled at the weekend without my internet, sad maybe, but my OH is working quite hard at the minute so company is needed....)

    Oh, on many occasions :D In fact I make my OH come with me to the farm to get eggs, even when we don't need them, just in case he's there. Sad I know!

    Bookie, hope you feel better soon, sending big hugs your way, but don't know how to do the little picture of it, so sending you a santa instead :o:santa2: Hope he kind of cheers you up abit x
