    Very nice, MWC, thank you :) and oh good heavens, toning the saggy bits would be so lovely!

    I drink so much water (otherwise my eye that has had 2 ops on it starts to complain) - up to 4l a day- that extended periods of time in the car would be 'interesting'!

    :rotfl:

    I have a 25 mile commute each way and I don't start drinking until I'm halfway there and I know how bad the traffic is!

    Excellent weight loss and mortgage reducing!

    Am liking the idea of forming a new good habit each month. I best think of 3 to introduce quickly so I can catch up! I did however start doing shred again in Feb (still doing it in March) so maybe I only need to think of 2 more!

    I don't have a cuppa at work after about 3pm for that reason :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Today has been a good day :D

    I body brushed!
    I drank 1.5L water!
    I stuck to my diet!
    I walked 13,000+ steps!
    And I got notification of a 1. 4% pay rise, an 11% cash bonus and a 3.5% LTI shares bonus :T

    I weigh the same today as I did when I started my current job in January 2010 - I feel so much fatter :(

    So I went for a 5 mile walk this evening and now I'm off to bed before I eat anything else!

    MWC, those are good results - great financial increases, and fitness/weight! Hope you slept well, as well :)
