    Hola MFPeeps! :smile:

    I wasn’t at work yesterday I had twoooooo interviews, yikes! Glad that’s over! Phew! I’m in a good mood today because I have done the 30 Day Shred 3 days in a row…even though my whole body hurts haha, there really is no excuse, it takes only 20 minutes! Dread to think what’s coming to me on Workout 2 though….ahem!!!

    Very hot in my office today, sweaty betty (haha sorry that’s gross) I’m not really, I have an aircon above me….really starting to feel like SUMMER though WOO HOO! :glasses:

    Have a good day! :heart:

    Hey all, not been on much recently, having a few issues at the moment, what with one family member being very ill and not looking like they will make it through the week. :frown:

    Plus due to some issues, I've fallen off the wagon a bit and not been going the gym as much. Still, I've climbed back on now and starting to go as from tonight. Also sorted out a weekly football game aswell, so that will add to my exercise, which I'm made up about as I used to play in a team but I've not played for a while.

    Hope everyone is doing okay. :smile: Welcome to all the newbies who have joined the group in my absence and a big hello to all my friends who are still posting regularly. :happy:

    I'm on wind down now till Thursday afternoon as I finish work then and don't go back till next Wednesday so really looking forward to the break off!

    Take care all

    Lee.

    Oh Lee I'm so sorry :frown: Hope you're ok and if you want a chat I'm all ears :flowerforyou: Hope you managed to get to the gym last night? Sometimes the gym helps me massively if I'm having a rough time xxx

    Thanks Sparkles, appreciate it. :smile: I'm doing okay, it's my nan i'm worried about. She's already lost a few family recently, she loses another it will hit her very hard. :frown:

    Yeah, did get to the gym, had a great workout and felt a lot better for it. Had Heroes on my iPod so it kept me busy for a couple of hours, otherwise I probably would have only lasted 15 minutes there if I was constantly clock watching.

    Hope you are okay! :heart: I've just seen your Just Giving page, I get paid soon so I'll make sure I chuck some sponsor money your way. :smile:

    Aww thanks hun :flowerforyou:

Have you done a 10k? Ok that's it I am gonna sign up for it tomorrow! C'est ça! I'm running for the disabled school my brother goes to, it's a Charity run thing, Independance House! Xxx

    Hi everybody,

    Hope all is well. I have not wrote on hear for a while as I was going through a negative spell :grumble: :grumble: and didnt want to drag you all down!!! The good news is I seem to have turned a corner and the scales have started to move again, I was 10.11 for about 3 maybe 4 weeks which was really disheartening as I felt I was doing everything right. In the last couple of weeks I have up'ed the exercise as got the Manchester 10k in 2 ish weeks, have also started to eat more. This morning, the scales said......10.9 1/4, so am delighted!! My official weigh in is tomorrow and I am keeping everything crossed for it to say 10.9, which will be a 2 lb loss.... this will also be the first time I have been 10 and a single digit for I honestly dont know how long!!!

    So I feel like I have got my mojo back!!! 10. 7 is in sight which would be fan bloody tastic!!!! :love: :love:

    KP. Hope things are good with you. :flowerforyou:

    Sparklepants and Mimi - Good luck with your runs!! :noway: :noway: Am giving serious consideration to putting in for a half marathon after the Manchester 10k as find having a set goal really helps keep me on track. I did the 10k last year, and pretty much didnt run again for the rest of the year!! ha!! So think I need to set something up to aim for!! :ohwell: :ohwell:

    Lee. Keep your chin up..... what doesnt break us, makes us stronger!! :frown:

    Oooh!! Fab PP!! That's such a fantastic feeling!!! Well done for sticking with it!! The amount of times I've not seen a change on the scales and just given up is ermmm...lots!! :embarassed: Good luck with tomorrow!!!!

    Ooooh yes do it! Put in for a half marathon!! Then we can all poke each other if we aren't training :laugh:

    Lee/KP - Hope you're both doing ok.

    Mimi/Sparkle - Good luck on your runs. I'll try and sponsor you in a few eeks when I have a bit of spare cash. Feel free to remind me.

    Plnatpot - Well done on the loss, glad you're feeling a bit more positive.

    I've got a tricky weekend coming up (again). Straight after work I'm off to my mum's. No doubt there'll be wine and pasta! We're then travelling up to York for a wedding on Friday. We're also staying Saturday to do some sightseeing. I'm hoping that I won't do too badly as I'm a bit broke at the mo, so won't have the cash for wine (my HUUUUGE downfall) and I can keep the food in moderation!! I have asked my brother to go for a run with me on Friday morning, so maybe I'll actually be dead and won't have to worry about eating too much!! He's super fit, and knowing him, he'll run in his really heavy fireman's boots!

    Hope you all have lovely, well behaved weekends!
