    Well done INOD on all counts you're off to a great start. I hope you manage a walk after your long drive to "unkink".
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    You're doing great! :)


    Hope you manage to sort out a suitable dance class - nothing better when exercising than finding a form of it that you actually love!

  • No exercise today, too tired when I got home via mother's. Am staying pretty much where I need to re the sugar which is good. Realised in the nick of time today that I'd forgotten to pay my credit card. Today I am grateful for

  • Got a !!!!! of a day approaching followed by an evening of corporate entertaining with a quick change in between. This is a potential danger zone for me as it's so easy to grab chocolate when running between things. Also, think I may need to work the weekend to get cleared up pre holiday from hell with mother. Anyhow, up and at em. Take care peeps.

    Hope today isn't as hellish as you thought it would be.


    Try grabbing a banana on the run between day and evening.


    Sorry to hear about the impending holiday from hell with mother - tell her you have to disappear periodically due to medically essential exercise (who could argue with that reason!!!).


    Hugs x
