    :TAll the best Lou for tonight, and well done for doing all that walking :T

    Well you inspired me to walk to work this morning, for the first time. I have to confess though, it was a bit of a disaster.

    I work right out in the country, 4.5 miles from where I live, and decided to take the cross country route. Started off feeling very proud of myself, it was a gorgeous sunny morning, birds were singing, I was admiring the flowers.

    Somehow, I managed to take a wrong turning, got completely lost. It then started pouring with rain and I realised I was late for work and couldn't find a way off this path, that i'd been on for ages.

    Eventually, I spotted a road, hitched up my skirt, scrambled through the hedgerows, phoned my boss, and asked him to come and find me. How professional.

    On a positive side. I have stuck to the eating plan again, even though the temptation to open a bottle of wine this evening has been very strong.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    Well done for sticking to the plan despite your adventure Scrooge:D

    No loss for me this week:( I guess Friday nights takeaway and that cheesecake is staying with me.

    Never mind, onwards and downwards. No walking for me today either as my ankle is hurting and I still have blisters:mad:

    I am going to get some blister plasters tomorrow, some heel grips for my new trainers and an ankle support bandage...........:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Thank you Whatawit*, I got the books. I still think you are fantastically generous. I am going to read them on Saturday and meal plan!!

    I am really excited about the diet thing tho. so tired at work its hilarious!


    Hello all by the way xxxxxx

    *I refuse to call Whatawit whatatwit - since you are clearly NOT a twit! xxx

    I went for my first weigh in - and I weighed 4 pounds more than my scales at home say :o :mad:

    I had lost 3 pounds last week before I started doing anything properly but now feel that has been wiped out (I know technically I wa even heavier to start with but still :mad:).

    So I've been told I need to lose a stone but I'm going to stick to my 21 pound target. Feeling ready to tackle the fat mountain!

    Hey everyone - its hit me today what bad habits I have unthinkingly got into in just a matter of months. Yesterday I unthinkingly ate 2 sausages which were left overs (and ruined my syns total) and today I walked in the kitchen after a gymn session (:A) and as I was talking to my OH I ate 2 milky ways which I had bought for my son!? Whats that about? I must have been doing this kind of random scoffing every day! NO WONDER MY WEIGHT HAS GONE UP!!!

    Right - tomorrow I will GET A GRIP

    Rant over - sorry all
    Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side
