Hmm - remarkable lack of Phd on the list so far... :rotfl:

But it's actually quite reassuring to see that I am doing *something*! :rotfl:

What is the PhD Daffy?

And that was a great idea to write list of what you have done! Very positive reinforcement!

Ok, more updating...

* ate lunch :rotfl:
* cleared last of our stuff out of van

But now that bliddy Shred dvd has just arrived in the post! :eek: So I have to drop everything and do it! :rotfl: just to check if it's really as bad as they say... :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

Ok (do apologise for all the wittering on today, it's motivating me though!)

Thought I'd keep a bit of a record... So

Start of Shred:
Weight: 11 st 12 Oops, just noticed this should be TEN stone 12!!
Bust: 36in (although that's in a very squashed in sports bra - might have to do again in normal bra:p)
Waist 33in
Backside/hips: 41in

Are you meant to measure thighs too? Why not, since I've got the tape measure out :rotfl:
Thighs: 24in (good grief, did people really have waists as small as my thighs??! :eek:) :rotfl:

Right then, it's been put off for long enough, got me shorts and trainers on, got me tins of value kidney beans instead of weights, and we're laughing! ( well, you all might be :rotfl:)

Karmacat

Good luck kiddo! I'm going to measure me later on (I might not have the guts to tell the results, tho ) off now into town - seen a deal thats on in the newsletteras well, £14 for a breadmaker, but its out of stock over the whole country. Hey ho. Big sale on at M&S too - now that my house move is so near, I might just buy a few new things.... I've just thrown out 4 pairs of jeans, too many holes in them, yuck. See you later xx

Cheery_Daff

Good luck Karma! :j

Well, I shreded, but measurements still exactly the same...

Actually quite good fun (although I did say 'oh no, not again!' at least once...). Had to pause the darn thing twice, first cos the phone rang (wasn't van man though), and second becuase Mr Daffs came home :eek: And while he knows I'm doing it, it's not the same as actually *watching* me doing it! :eek:

Anyway, day one done, back into the rest of the day now! Just having a cup of tea to restore normality... :rotfl:

taka

Are you still able to move?

Cheery_Daff

Yep, can still move, just walked to the post office and back in fact!

Which obviously means I didn't do it properly! :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

And yet *more* updating!

* did day 1 of Shred :eek::eek::eek:
* went to post office to post letter
* LOTS MORE clearing out and tidying of attic

So, here we are at 5pm and I've done quite a bit, although no PhD :eek::eek: I'm giving the attic another hour at the most, to get it back reasonably ship shape, but I'm very pleased with what I've done today :j

Just about to give up on the first silly van man and ring the second one who said he could be here in ten mins :eek:

This evening, mr Daffs is off out, so I'll be doing a couple of hours of PhD, then perhaps a small run (although perhaps not...), a bit of transcribing, a nice bath, and a bit of knitting :j:j (oops, that sounded scarily like a list! Best stop thinking about it quick!) :rotfl:
