Storm

El - as you're in Scotland then I'll let you off this weekend however... I'm planning on walking the Great Glen Way from Fort William to Inverness in September (hoping many of the midges will have gone by then) taking in Loch Ness (finger's crossed for monsters) and if I've got any energy left climbing Ben Nevis! 76 miles over a week - hence thinking that I've got to start walking most weekends to build my stamina up!

Ive done the 5 sisters (3 of them are munros) of Kintail up near the Kyle of Lochalsh. All in one day. Hey Ive never been on this thread before. Hi elan.

Hi El,

meringue nests when craving something really sweet, only 50 calories per nest!

Hi El, I am so so sorry to read that you didn't get the job. Have you called them to ask for feedback yet?

However, I am a great believer in things happening for a reason, fate and all that, so it is not meant to be and you know that there is something better out there for you - this is just a message telling you to look elsewhere.

Your "mission statement" for the 101 day challenge is brilliant - puts my "I will get on top of my housework" to shame

Morning

It's good that you got some feed back. My couisin did very well last night, she's put on 2 stone since she last tried going, but is motivated to get rid of it all this time. I put on 1/2 a pound, so it could have been worse!!

Good luck with the house work and remember you want to do an hours worth later!

elantan

thanks lucy does your cousin feel very positive just now? how is she aiming on losing it ? what have you done did you go to a gym?

Lucy1982_2

We are doing slimming world. So healthy eating. I don't go to the gym, they are all really expensive around here. But I love my exercise DVD, Davina McCall workouts, I have the box set so it includes both of her DVD's so I do one a week.

But my cousin is feeling good, she know's she's got to do it especially if she wants Babies (which she is desperate for!)

elantan

good for her i remember now you saying about the gym sorry i forgot do you like the davina mcCall dvd's? thinking about getting something else for work i use pilates well actually it's yogalates if that makes any sense

You all dressed now?

I'm doing SW world too and am trapped in a gym contract til Aug...but I won't start that one here!!

After reading your inspirational challenge last night I have dug out my pedometer and plan to use it today (am off up Beacon Fell for a picnic but with kids so v slow!) and for the next week to see what my ave is and then raise it too. Brilliant idea
