    Well done on the eating and fitness. :j You’ll have lost more than 1lb at this rate when you go for your weigh-in

    P.S. Dont forget that you have to fit in at least an hour’s ice skating this week.

    Thanks Beanie xx

    SSG :rotfl:

    Actually I did use to ice skate regularly when I was younger, nothing fantastic but I enjoyed it. No chance whatsoever of resurrecting this activity though :)

    SA you are an inspiration. I've planned next weeks meals after your impressive list.
    Have you bought your ice skates yet- I've only ever been ice skating once when I first started going out with dh when I was 19....I went over on my backside - a skater jumped over me :eek::eek: whilst I was on the floor. 3 months of work with a fracture in the base of my spine.....I've never had the urge to go again can't think why :rotfl:

    Pretty impressed that you can ice skate though - always wanted to do it as a kid but no ice rink near where I lived. Now I’m afraid the time has passed.........:)

    All the meals have been lovely so far. The soup was a WW recipe I hadn't tried before and it's gorgeous.

    I'm not doing an AFD today, I've been resisting the bit of wine in the fridge left over from the weekend, just enough for a glass, but tonight I've got enough points left to enjoy it while I'm watching Girlfriends :)

    Went to the gym at lunchtime 2/3 sessions so far this week :)

    Can't believe I've got a sore throat and the snuffles again, only just got rid of the last cold. I blame it on Mr SA coughing and sneezing all over.

    Despite the sore throat, I'm feeling much more positive now after the slight technical hitch last week :)
