    Happy sunday everyone!

    Still bright and warm here, it reached 29C yesterday so I was boiling. I've never been a fan off exceptionally hot weather so I'm willing the rain to come!

    Lost 1lb since yesterday so already a great start to the week in my eyes, bring on the next few days.

    Have a great day all x

    Definitely shouldn't have to!

    Well I've had a lovely day walking through Hyde Park and had half hour on the paddleboats (pedaling the whole time). Paddleboating was in the database which I was surprised at haha not sure it would be such a good burn if you just rested half the time like some people seemed to be. If you haven't done it before, the pedaling bit is quite a bit harder than it looks, lots of resistance! Then finished up with lunch at the pub. Hubby is cooking a roast for dinner so looking forward to that :)

    How was everybody else's Sunday?

    Hope everyone had a good w'end, and everyone is enjoying the lovely weather, Just wish it'd cool down at night time so I can get some sleep. Am hoping its here for a bit longer, as we're meant to be getting SNOW at the end of the month (so they say)

    Hi everyone,

    Had a lazy day today, feeling a bit delicate after being out last night. Done plenty dancing to burn off some of the calories from the alcohol which will hopefully limit the damage but looking forward to getting back to the gym after work tomorrow!

    Going to attempt to make lentil soup for the first time this week - planned to have it for dinner for two days so hoping it works out!

    That sounds delicious :) I am so lucky that hubby will at least try everything and generally eats most things - would make this so much harder I imagine!!

    Yes, I haven't been sleeping well either. You are all going to hate me but I'm wishing for the winter to arrive... LOVE the cold (as long as it's sunny haha).

    Hey gang!
    Hard weekend for me, away at the in-laws so lots of food with mysterious/ high content and being honest a bit of 'ah stuff it' snuck in today too. No exercise either :grumble: I am just going to be super-strict tomorrow and kick my butt with exercise and hope it comes out in the wash at weigh-in Tues - I was fine up till Sat, even Sat night so its only really the last 24 hours that went pear-shaped. I would love to get to 2 weeks successfully maintained though!

    My goals for October are:
    maintain for the month
    finish the 200 squat challenge
    Do better with the 100 push-up challenge (I ought to finish it really but am in week 4 and really struggling now)
    Do JM's 6 week 6 pack at least 5 times per week (its my new DVD)

    Morning,
    well I managed to get 3 hrs sleep, so am not in a good mood, and I've gotta get me boys ready for school & college, while my OH get himself ready for a day at the golf course, lucky him, he's got the week off. It's my last day at the gym this morning, so going to do a Biggest Lose Last Chance Workout kinda thing, no idea wot to do, part from Cardio, Weights, Cardio Weights, etc...

    Morning All, Manic start to Monday Morning. My phone went flat overnight so the alarm didn't go off. Leapt out of bed at 6.30 and still managed to get OH on the 6.50 train for Kings X and that included getting behind a tractor on the country lanes. Chilling out with a pot of coffee now and planning my day. After four days at work need to do some shopping, cleaning, catch up with the washing, walk the dogs, hopefully fit in some swimming. Busy day ahead. OH has come back from his boys week away looking very chubby and avoiding the scales LOL so healthy eating all round then :happy: Have a good Monday everyone

    Morning all,

    I will be starting C25K today, just thinking of a route to take. I have the week off so hoping to really concentrate on getting the exercise in as I have no excuse.

    Have a good day
