    So you know I did 3 odd miles yesterday? Well today I did 2.64 miles according to my step counter-and that was just the school run.So in 2 days Ive done a total of 6.4 miles.So *if* were participating in the Eurovision challenge-where would I be?

    It's my weigh in day tomorrow,meeting is at 7pm.I treated myself to a pair of those ballet slipper type shoes,so they're easy to just slip on and off for the scales.I've had a good week and I've tracked everything and drank loads of liquid and am feeling generally quite excited-but nervous too.I want to have a sneaky peak but I know my scales are dodgy so I wont...but Im tempted.

    ETA: Lolly look see...we've done EXACTLY the same combined distance!

    We're in Bosnia & Herzigovina!!! On our way to Croatia! :beer: (If I counted it correctly!).

    Carry on like this and you'll be joining me for my 5 circuits! :j

    Wow, that's a great result! :j I don't know what most of those exercises are, but you've improved on almost everything!

    It will be interesting for you to compare your first fit test to your last, I bet there will be a huge difference!

    Unfortunately not,he's been with the same employer forever now-we're moving on to annual bonuses since things are picking up again,but we only get those once a year:D

    Lolly,MrP is trying to watch Harry Potter...and I just interrupted him with my giggling.I tried to explain the challenge to him and all he did was roll his eyes:pIm not meant to do all that distance-no wonder Im feeling so bloomin' sore today.Back home we had a tern for it "Eina Bliksem!"(Pronounced Ayna blixem) Ive never been able to describe my pain in english so that it feels quite as satisfying...

    It just hit me that I haven't done a meal plan for my second week yet and that starts tomorrow-best go do that.For week three,I want to start tomorrow and do one day every day,so that I only have to do 3 meals a day but I'll be left with 7 days worth by the end of the week.Does that make sense?

    If you want to join in this challenge it's not too late :)

    If you're neither North or South but would like to join I'll set up an inbetweeners team :)

    Thanks! Yeh, can't wait to compare them. Looking at this weeks one and comparing it to my first time, 1 or 2 of them are double or more than double with the rest being more. :) I always look at what the previous results were and then motivate myself and push myself on so that I can increase it. Works well most of the time, but as you can tell, 1 or 2 of them I just about got over as my legs were gone lol. There's only so much your body can go through before it starts protesting. :p

    Well done on your weight loss btw, hope you get another one next week. :)
