Thanks for the advice all :o) I need to start cooking more as I used to cook a lot at home and could bring that stuff into the office. Just out of the habit and been walking to the supermarket and not knowing what to buy when I get there lol. Was looking at the recipe board earlier and there are some great things on there…

I can completly relate to what your saying. With everything going on with me I fall off the wagon way too easily. I'm great while i'm at work. force myself to go to the gym in the evenings when I am not working late. But then am soo busy in the evenings (Read Twin's one of which is disabled and usually logging into work…

This board needs a thanks button :o) Just tried some mixed Veg, Pasta and Salmon. I was ok but the Mixed Veg was seriously blanned :( Like the idea of Cous Cous. Need to remember some of that next week. A colleague bought a huge Jar of Ainsley Harriots stuff but think I will start off with a smaller jar. The beauty is to…

On a street corner in the red light district. Seriously!!!!! Well ok Semi-seriously. I saw her 3 rows back 2 seats to the left in the lecture theatre at Uni. We both ended up on the debating society (Not through choice). I told a friend I had seen the girl I was going to marry. 15 weeks later I had not made my move and me…

I always wanted to do something in Computers. I got GCSE's in IT. BTEC National in IT and a Degree (BSc Hons) in Business IT. But I failed 1 exam in my Degree which was in Database's. My Database Teacher told me to never do anything in database's. 3 Weeks later I got a job as an Oracle Database Administrator lol. I am…

Know what you mean. Also Bloody Grockles. "Grockles" - Term used on South Coast England (Dorset for me where I grew up) to describe holiday makers/tourists usually heard being shouted from the car by me when a Grockle is lost.

Beach!!!! Grew up in the english countryside 10 miles away from the beach. Now live in the city and hate it. I feel claustraphobic being in the middle of the country (UK country not countryside) and having to drive 2 hours to the nearest beach when I used to finish work and drive 10 minutes to sit on the beach at midnight…

Punch a couple of holes in the floor then you can run in the car to power it Fred Flintstone Style. Cheap to run, good for the environment and a good work out to. Lol.

Thanks Scott. Really annoyed at myself as it was stupid thing to do. Didn't notice the bruises until last night. Might give it to the weekend and see how I am. Just gutted I have missed all this time in the gym when I was really getting into it.

Welcome to MFP. I can totally relate to the not having time. I am a father of twins who are 4 years old. Time is definatly the premium. I managed to work out twice a week at the gym thanks to my lovely wife taking excellent care of the girls and giving me those couple of hours. It lasted 2 months and then stopped. But that…

Thats my November 5lbs down goal reached. Weigh in yesterday was 80.4kg or 12st 9lbs. 5lbs lost in November. With a bit of luck I might make it 7 before the end of the month. SW - 13 st (182lbs) CW - 12st 9lbs (177lbs) GW 30th nov - 12st 9lbs GW by 24th may - 10st 2lbs.

Bad week this week for diary. Lots of personal things that just meant I did not eat well in the evenings. And a trip away at the weekend. That said I lost 0.1kg at weigh in this morning. Didn't change the poundage but I think I have actually lost just got a water retention problem. Should be a bumper week this week. So my…

Thanks for the chuckle Martha :o) Got visions of you looking out to see doing a plank, Or should that be looking like a plank. Lol. I miss the beach. Having grown up in Bournemouth I wish I still lived down there as I could see myself going for a run every morning. Maybe one day it will become a reality again. Either that…

Thanks Martha. Off to get myself a Jacket spud and some lemsips. Get through the rest of the day and I reckon in bed by 9pm (Thats early for me). Aim to start walking again on Wednesday for my lunch. (2 miles). Also aiming to sign up to the new gym next Monday :o) Know where I am signing up just don't want to overlap my…

Could do with a Kick up the ...... Although I am feeling knackered, achey and generally under the weather. Not been right all weekend with some kind of cold. Might have a couple of early nights. Keep the diet in check and hope the energy levels return :o(

2lbs down this week :o) SW - 13 st (182lbs) CW - 12st 12lbs (180lbs) GW 30th nov - 12st 9lbs GW by 24th may - 10st 2lbs. 3lbs to go in November.

I can understand your frustrations. I have twins and they are like chalk and cheese. I would drop them off at Nursery and M would get all tearful and run back to me for a cuddle but E would just go straight in and sit down for breakfast. The Nursery staff were great. We would take M's teddy with her and the first day I…

Well I am getting back on it slowly. Had a good week for food although this morning I had a cheeky Sausage and Bacon baguette. (Company pays for them on Friday morning so that don't count does it? lol) Managed 20 minutes on exercise bike and 20 minutes to swim 10 laps (250 meters) last night. Stomuch is killing today. But…

would you believe I listen to Most of the soundtrack to top gun. Dangerzone really gets me moving. also into the Metal a fair bit. Metallica, Maiden, Mammoth etc. If I have the bandwidth on my Iphone I also have a cheeky way of listening to Las Vegas radio KLUC. Usually the morning show by the time I am in the gym due to…

Had a look on Amazon and they are anything from £6 to £25. Will see what people think :o)

I would be happy to donate my body for lab experiments if this was the experiments we were doing lol. does MFP show calories burned on a mechanical bull? Should be about the same? lol This thread has had me giggling at my desk.

Our local pools are terrible, Council rung places that were built in the 80's. I can't get into the PAYG gym round the corner from me as they are block booked for swimming lessons in the evening. Pretty useless. Got a trial tonight at a local gym so going to use that to test my back out and see if it can handle a decent…

I'll do this one. I am trying to start up the exercise again so this will give me an added boost. SW - 13St 0lbs (182lbs for the americans in the house) - Weighed this morning GW - 12st 9lbs (177lbs) - By November 30th Overal GW - 10St 2lbs (142lbs) - Sometime before May 24th And a 6 pack. I will update when I can but my…

Didn't manage to get the leg raises done last night. Felt that twinge when I got home from the office so decided to not set myself back another week by pulling the muscle and see how I am tonight. Will look at starting the core exercises slowly this week and go from there. Slowly slowly catchy monkey as they say. Or maybe…

Good luck getting back on it JasonDeem. I'm coming off my back injury now. Went for a swim with the kids yesterday for an hour and I can still move and not seize up so that is a bonus from last week.Couldn't stand up from my desk most of last week without being doubled up. Today I got a small twinge. So no pain which is a…

Most definatly not alone. I am the same. Doc's can only give neoproxen and tell me to go to the physio. Did the same last year and it made a difference but I still don't know what triggers it. I can do months of throwing my 4 year olds around. Lifting them. playing in the pools. Heck I even went on space mountain and star…

Thanks LooseWheel. Sadly the winter has come to the UK.But that ain't going to stop me. I swim all year around :o)

Thanks UKaryote. Its really gone bad again today. Strange thing is i did not do anything taxing yesterday. Will let it settle down with the anti-inflammatory;s and then start with the swimming gently. I take my girls swimming every Sunday (Luckily its half term this week) and that is mostly walking in the pool for about 30…

Thanks all. I got a referal through the Doc's for physio. So when that eventually comes through I will go to that. Sadly my private medical don't kick in for another 2 months and I think they excluded my back trouble as well so I got to wait for the good old NHS here in the UK. When I get back to the gym I will have a chat…
