*Tied to the house Thurs...Daily Chat Thread 7th Jan 10**

Been up since 3.30 watched final episode of Red Dahlia and I am now doing my ironing and watching Vinnie Jones cooking in the Big Brother kitchen...he seems quite domesticated.

Just thought I would add my tuppence about the exercise on biggest loser.

My DD1 made me do a 5k a couple of years ago and I thought I was quite fit...I could hardly walk for two days....

Now (even though I find it tough while I am running) I hardly ever have a big problem with recovery. Your body really quite quickly adapts and it is literally teaching your mind that your body doesn't really hurt that much...its teaching your mind that you will not die from a little pain.

Don't forget these are big people and while they may exercise for 5 hours a day I think in the first week or so its just moving and not 'intense' exercise. It might look intense cos they are actually just moving for the first time in years.

I appreciate they don't show those bits as much as they perhaps should do.....

mind over matter....should practise what I preach really...:rotfl:

  • Morning :) went to bed early, but woke up around 2am and been up & about in the quiet house with a cat in toe (who is now asleep next to me on the sofa).

    Been filling out my grocery spreadsheet, making a cat blanket to donate out of some left over yarn. I can't do any more on the blanket as the above cat is asleep on it...

    I can't imagine vinnie jones cooking, is he wearing an apron too?

    He is a surprisingly nice man...

    I don't think he has been to bed...it seems big brother has been keeping them up. He is now asleep in a chair in the garden!

  • In the garden? Isn't it COLD??? or is he so hard that he doesn't need heating?

    (In case you haven't guessed, I don't have a telly...)

    (well, I do, but I vowed not to switch it on!)

    (yes, it was a stupid thing to vow)
  • morning all - well Sammy and Pink

    We are in today (as yesterday) so annoyed about it. no doubt it will snow again later thus the whole getting sent home thing is a possibility. My boss is a tit.

    Morning all

    Both DD's schools are closed which is fab - they both have to travel around 8 miles on buses to get there and I hate them being that far out when it's snowy. Will dig out the sledges later and take them for some fun on the hills.

    Our 8th wedding anniversary today - was a stupidly warm day. Had planned to take DH out for breakfast but I really don't fancy trying to push his chair through the snow.
