    I've lost count of the times that they said go left and I went right! :rotfl:

    Happy anniversary!

    That's a lovely present, you'll have to post some photos up after your course :)

    was planning to go for a walk at lunchtime, but when we all gathered in the lobby it started to pour with rain :mad:
    Will go swimming after work though, to try and offset going out for dinner tonight. :o

    The exercise plan I'm hoping to stick to is:
    Monday: HBT
    Tuesday: Swim
    Wednesday: Pilates class
    Thursday: Zumba
    Friday: Swim, if not too knackered!

    Also try to fit in pilates at home to keep my back moving and strengthen core muscles. Plus walks at lunchtime with my colleagues and hopefully something with DH over the weekend. After which I may collapse in a small heap!

    It looks like a lot, but I don't do anything else with my evenings at the moment, and I really do have a lot of weight to lose. It's a nice mixture of toning and aerobic stuff, so I'm hoping to see a real difference if I can stick to it until the end of the 4 month challenge (mid-October), by which point it will hopefully be a habit :)

    back from swimming, just having a sit down before beautifying myself for the evening :rotfl: managed to do 30 lengths, even though my legs felt really tired, probably from Zumba last night!
    It's still raining pretty hard here, hope the weather brightens up for sailing tomorrow. :(

    Well done on all your exercise classes and plan Jules, it can be so hard to get motivated and it's great that your OH is joining in :). Makes it so much easier that way.

    I hope you had a lovely anniversary and the cupcake course sounds fab! It's our 3rd anniversary tomorrow and I have got OH a nice card, he should know it's our anniversary because it's on the calendar I had printed up for him at Xmas but I know he hasn't bought me a card :(.

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Afternoon diary :)
    not updated for a while, been enjoying my week off :D not much to report, went down to hamble for sailing at the weekend, which turned out to be a weekend of jobs before the big race next weekend and only 1 hour of sailing :mad: not as advertised and quite dull, plus I managed to twist my back :( felt a bit peeved, but it was nice to see DH dad and stepmum.

    came back on Monday, and have spent the last 2 days lounging about. been to the cinema with clubcard vouchers today, and off to pilates later. weighed in this morning, lost 3lb since last Monday :D
    Payday was yesterday, but DH's not until Friday so will leave my payments until next week once his money goes into the joint account.

    morning diary :)
    had a nice week off, lots of socialising, but in a DFW way with clubcard cinema vouchers etc.
    DH is doing the Round the Island race today, but the tracker doesn't seem to be working so I can't see how he's doing :(

    I'm off to London today to see Wicked with my best friend, so very excited!!! I look a bit like this :j:D:j

    hoping not to go too mad with the spending, but we're going to the Hummingbird Bakery in Soho for cupcakes, and then shopping, then out for dinner, then theatre and finishing with cocktails before we come home, so it will be quite spendy! it's our (belated) birthday presents to each other, so going to enjoy the day and not worry too much as I have budgetted for some spends.

    hope you all have a nice weekend.

    Sounds like a fab day, hope you enjoy it and don't worry about the cost too much, you need a blow out every now and then x
