Morning Crackers, Just a very quick pop in as I'm packing for my trip home, I'm back on the 18th - hopefully carrying no excess luggage on me! I've managed to maintain my new pre-Christmas weight with walking and maxing so I'm looking forward to a 'few' well deserved treats, with my Mother on our overnight visit to Bath…

LMV - so sorry to hear your sad news. Stay strong.
-
Afternoon Crackers, BM - how lovely to hear from you although I'm sorry to hear about your Father, all very worrying when you are so far away. When are you next due home February? The max is a workout DVD 'Lorraine living to the max' as in Lorraine Kelly and her fitness trainer Maxine Jones, who she credits for her 2 stone…

Evening Crackers, Bracken - I had just finished painting the second coat of Hague Blue, my nephew had popped in and admired the colour and then I read your post and just had to laugh - in fact it made my day! I hope you like it as much as I do once you start painting. If you need any help with the painting I can always pop…

9999 steps! No max and no walking.....

Evening Crackers, My whole day was messed up yesterday by a television man! Husband bought a new TV for his office forgetting the old one, was 'tied up' - bolted to some monitoring system which can see what he is watching. Do not ask why as there is no answer! My husband just agreed... To me it is utter madness as his…

There do not appear to be another hours in the day.... hope to return - sooner rather than later!
-
Evening/Morning Crackers, LMV - I do hope that you are feeling better today? Well your weekend certainly sounded busy, my own has been busy, busy too but mostly all work and no play! It did occur to me if I were to have my colours done and I was told navy, grey or pink were not for me - I'd have absolutely nothing to wear!…
-
Afternoon Crackers, A quick check in - hope to return this evening. Just wanted to log my steps; Friday 11,069 and I did indeed max! Saturday 8,217 sat down working mostly, Sunday 10,203 worked and hiked up mini Everest. Rewarded myself with a Brownie - fortunately as it had been defrosted from the freezer and I froze them…
-
LMV - you have been busy. Yesterday I was working so no max and I managed just 7,786 steps. I'm also working today but I did spend 30 minutes this morning raking leaves where the snow has melted in the sunshine and I can feel my new toned muscle/bits (!) around the waist, from that exercise in the squat section! I'm hoping…
-
Evening Crackers, Just to quickly report in, I have maxed so that is my 3 for the week done and I have walked with the friend 13,753 steps in total which is just as well I'm over, as I've a busy 'work' day tomorrow and no walking time. Well done LMV - is the husband doing his bit on the bike too? Be good Crackers!
-
Evening Crackers, LMV you deserve to have lost 1.5lbs with all the exercise you have put in this week! Absolutely brilliant! My daughter had her first ever spin class today and for some reason, cannot think why, you sprang to mind! She loved it, so I'm glad you are enjoying your bike sessions too. My maxing week goes from…

WOW!!!!! A bit better - fantastic!!
-
Good Morning Crackers, I'm very pleased to report I had a productive day yesterday. I painted my second wooden panelled wall on the floor above the first, in Hague Blue. The husband was away for the day in rainy Salzburg at a catering fair, I didn't tell him my plans for the day hee hee! One of my sister-in-laws last week…
-
Evening/Morning Crackers, I've had a sluggish day today, I haven't left the house and I haven't maxed. I have worked so the fingers have had a good work out. Steps a poor 5,909. Tomorrow the husband is away for the day so I must make the effort to move - that could be easily solved as I fear there is fresh snow in the…
-
Well fortunately I didn't make them because I'd happily be getting them out of the freezer right now to cook!!! Steps 10,331
-
Just realised looking at this I have done my 3 max sessions for this week. Yay!
-
Evening/Morning Crackers, Well I intended to max yesterday but the afternoon somehow vanished and then I was working again in the evening. Perhaps it was just as well as this morning I awoke no longer thinking I was the tin man. I haven't been posting my steps I believe Tuesday (as that is the figure scribbled down) was…
-
Afternoon Crackers, Well I was literally snowed under yesterday and didn't get the opportunity to post as we were working very late. The husband went off in the middle of our shift, in the evening to lay out a buffet and told me he'd be an hour, 2.5 hours later he returned having totally messed up my plans. I have a…
-
Morning Crackers, LMV - I too have maxed tonight. I waited until the heating had gone off! That was my first for this week, section 1. Depending how much snow I have to shovel tomorrow, I hoping to max again as I'm not walking with my friend. Bracken - have you got an exercise plan that you intend to do over the winter…
-
Good Evening/Morning Crackers, I'm still not getting to my bed any earlier but I'm determined to post! Busy day yesterday making schlipfkrapfen with the husband. Then after a late lunch even though it was damp and miserable I was persuaded to still go for a walk to get some fresh air.... So with our umbrellas we trundled…
-
Evening/Morning Crackers, LMV - hope you have been feeling better as the day progressed. How's the knitting going? Well for me it has been a day of potatoes... I haven't walked and I haven't exercised except to squash potatoes. My friend returned this evening and popped in on her way back from the train station for a cup…
-
Evening Crackers, Getting up early for the chimney sweep does not agree with me. I ended up having a very lazy day with no motivation to do anything. My friend has been in Vienna visiting her parents this week so no daily walks but in any case we would have needed gas masks with all the muck spraying, which is a shame as…
-
Evening Crackers, Oh LMV how very amusing! I too have done a max today, I did section 3. Have you looked at the bonus yet?! The only part of me that I have not measured is my arms which I'm thinking I should do, as the warm up involves a lot of arm swinging which I'm hoping is doing something to improve them whilst warming…
-
Good Evening Crackers, BM - good to have you back with us again. but I'm so sorry to hear of your latest health worries and concerns. The waiting game is the worst as the imagination can go into over drive. Hopefully now you can have some peace of mind but keep those knitting needles clicking! I have to say your news…
-
Good Evening Crackers, I will be brief as I have a house full of guests... Well Bracken you certainly have your hands full but your exercise room will be perfect for the winter months ahead. Our basement this morning one of the rooms is looking more like a grocery store with vegetables all lined up, rescued before the…
-
Good Evening Crackers, Well what a difference a day can make... blue skies and sunshine whoopee! Lifted my mood even though I spent most of it cleaning. All Saints Day has the build up you get at Christmas when the house has to be spotless and the husband thought it would be a good idea to clean the oven?!! Really?! Anyway…
-
Good Evening Crackers, LMV - I love your fighting spirit! I was slightly concerned when I read the line 'I fully intend to keep using it' thinking gosh how bad is it, until I read on. And great news about the exercise bike. Well it didn't snow today but boy was it windy. There will be plenty of leaves for raking tomorrow.…
-
Good Evening Crackers, Welcome back Bracken how lovely to see you here again! Well LMV when I read the post that mentioned the physio because of your knee, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets and you've been doing the MAX!!! No wonder she wasn't best pleased with you with all that knee action, 'bend your knees…
-
Evening Crackers, LMV - how I regretted exercising late last night! What I forgot to mention, was that whilst waiting impatiently for the husband to start our shift, I somehow managed to scoff my way mindlessly through half an XXL packet of pomme bear crisps. All calorie accounted for but when I got up to go to bed - after…
