    Debt-free and Proud!
    I had a giant takeaway pizza and a couple of glasses of wine during the opening ceremony :eek: Hopefully the box being full of fit people being active will shame me into exercising more!

    Hi all,

    Another sunny day here so just finished the housework and will continue with the fence painting :o there is alot to do!!

    I didnt go swimming last night I was shattered- late night Thursday night plus plenty of fence painting yesterday!! Am hoping to get there in the morning

    Not sure what Im eating today although we are going out for tea :o- well we have got a long weekend off work so need to enjoy it- ill update later

    Im thinking of advertising a 'free' exercise class in the local paper: "great free exercise class, tones all areas including those dreaded bingo wings the only equipment you need is a paint brush" :rotfl:Do you think they would be disappointed when they arrived and realised it was fence painting?:rotfl:

    Have a good day all :D

    I spread the cheese onto the ham as it was quite soft and then rolled the ham up.

    Just back from the couch to 5K week 4 run and it is much tougher - 3 mins run, 90 secs walk, 5 min run repeat, repeat.......
    You feel like you're just getting your breath back and you have to start again. I managed it though and even tagged on a few extra mins run after a litte walk at the end:j (won't be doing many of these star jumps today now!!)

    I did have a little treat or two last night to celebrate the Olympics - a small packet of Tooty Frooties and a Dime bar. I did loads of exercise yesterday though so hopefully it won't matter.

    After a shower and some lunch and a little watch of the sport I'll take the dog out for his second walk (the longer one) - I'm thinking an hour or so up the canal towpath for a change.

    Had a cereal bar and banana for breakfast/brunch, will have a quorn ham roll and some grapes for lunch and probably a potato bake for tea.

    Off to log it all on myfitnesspal.
    Have a good day - and remember watching the Olypics does not count as exercise (more's the pity!):rotfl:
