    Happy New Year to you too MCI :)

    Lordy it's been a long first day back at work and officially I don't finish for another hour (will probably sneak off at 5 o'clock though ;))

    Today I have:

    - spent no money
    - drunk water instead of coffee
    - eaten healthily
    - walked briskly for 45 minutes

    I have also played on the DIY health checkpoint machine we have at work and scared myself... I have a metabolic age of 57 years (it's my 42nd birthday later this month), a BMI of 32.2 and a fat mass of 37.4 kg :o:o:o On the bright side, my blood pressure and visceral fat rating (9) got green smiley faces on the computer printout :D:D

    Thanks MC - so far, so good :rotfl:Happy New Year to you too!

    Celeriac, apple & blue stilton soup for dinner - really yummy, probably due the addition of a splash of cider

    2 eggs again today (Miss B & Miss Q)

    Another brisk 45 minute walk this evening - this time with Mr MWC

    Oooohhh, soup sounds lovely :)

    Were the eggs egg shaped ;). It must be lovely and exciting every day wondering how many they've laid :T.
