Quick catch up before I depart for the airport... oh my goodness me Bracken I can see why you have been feeling a little (a lot) out of sorts - all very stressful. I think I would have my head in the fridge by now! Stay strong, thinking of you.

It's very sad - my pedometer has died in the night! But is has served me well... I feel quite sad seriously it's just like when my scales gave up which I'd had for years and years and had been through so many ups and downs with me! So for the time being no more step counting but I will keep moving.

....I really should be packing however... Bracken I feel for you! When I was last in England, I put on my lipstick (I rarely wear make-up on my mountain top!) and I suddenly realised I had a small white mark on my bottom lip which the lipstick annoyingly did not cover. Didn't think much more about it, until nearly 2 months…

Well done LMV great results for February and achievable realistic goals for March. I'm in the UK for most of March, danger zone for me as there will be hot cross buns (which I'm addicted to) everywhere! Fortunately I have given up chocolate for Lent which I hope I will not break. This time, last year when I was home I ate…

Days 3 & 4 steps 6409 + 7279 = 30,246 I'm too busy working this week to shred and I haven't even salsacised instead I have had 2 high calorie burning (I hope) sessions shovelling snow... My friend is in Vienna this week so I haven't even trotted around the village which explains my low step count, plus I'm sat working. I'm…

Evening Non-Shredders! Didn't it - just show on the scales!!! Not a brilliant start to this week steps 8297 + 8261 = 16,558 intend to make time to salsacise tomorrow no matter what!

LMV - so sorry to read your sad news, I didn't see it last night we must have been posting at the same time. It really does make you sit up and think about life and appreciate good health which so many of us take for granted. Thinking of you.

I doubt I'm going to be able to exercise much this week as I'm so busy. However since it snowed overnight and all day today, I had a good work out with the snow shovel which I know is a calorie burner!

Good Evening Crackers! Well it's been a long time since I've had time to post on this thread but it feels like it's now or never, ever again! I have finished work for the evening and since I know I'm going to be busy for the rest of the week as I fly to the UK on Saturday it's got to be now.... I have recently been…

Days 6 & 7 Steps 6855 + 5035 total for week = 72,736 Well I managed to complete over 70,000 steps but I only did 2 shreds and 2 salsacises however it's been a busy working week. LMV - hope you have fully recovered and made your way up to York? BM - hope you are safely back in Wales and in good time for St. David's day.…

Day 5 completed. Sadly no time for Jillian and can't see her getting a look in again until Monday.... Did salsacise Steps 11,114 = 60,846 which I'm pleased with as that was just moving around the house carrying potatoes from one floor to the next. Be good Crackers!

LMV - the thought of you salsacising and doing it to music in your head with the husband present.... now that is dedication - I scream at the husband if he dares to open the door an inch whilst I'm throwing myself around the room! However I will confess I often find myself salscising around the kitchen from the fridge to…

Day 4 Busy, busy no shredding, no Rosemary and no mountain climbing so happy I'm ahead on the steps because I only did 7,722 today = 49,732

Day 3 Shredded Steps 15,663 = 42,010 Whilst working out with Jillian I thought there really should be a non negotiable clause for anybody who participates THEY WILL NO MATTER WHAT LOSE WEIGHT THAT WEEK!

I'm about to start work but I just had to say LMV - you cannot feel in the least bit disappointed with yourself, just reread your last posts and see how much you've crammed in to this past week; dinner party, eating out, birthday cake... and you didn't gain!!! So your discipline must be strong not weak, you are back in a…

Yes LMV 'Hell' did seem appropriate whilst shredding today!

I seem to be busy again - keep popping in and catching up on the posts but don't get time to comment... However I wish to close out after completing a week of 'exercise'. So after;- 4 days shredding 1 circuit training 5 salsacising sessions with Rosemary 90 minutes snow clearing 2 mini Everest climbs in snow which must…

Thank you BM!!! Well done LMV. I've been at work all day and evening and had no time for shredding or salsacising and my only stepping was up and down the staircases carrying heavy potatoes and then crushing them which was like a Jillian exercise, went on and on and on! Steps day 5 9,281 = 55,494. Intend to get back on…

Bracken - shocking news. Maybe you will be lucky and it was some bored teenagers and it will turn up somewhere... But it's so unfair. However stay strong.

Morning 'Shredders' - Oh I do like that expression LMV! Bracken I am so impressed - have I understood this correctly your truck is stolen and you then do 3 circuits of Jillian? I do hope it was the kick boxing and punching to vent your anger. Becks would so approve, I fear I would have headed straight for the fridge. LMV -…

Just about to start work so quick pop in to report Day 4 Salsacised Shredded - tomorrow is day 5 LMV so our stamina we should be about to see the difference!! Steps 11,192 = 46,213 Beautiful day today have made the most of it as I believe there is more snow on the way this weekend sob!

Day 3 Shredded Salsacised Steps 9133 = 35,021 Snow Clearing 90+ minutes Bracken if your snow clearing was anything like mine, you deserve every step your Fitbit registered.... I'd completely forgotten after a winter with no 'real snowfall' how totally knackering and exhausting digging a pathway out is!

LMV - we just crossed posts! Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow.

Very relieved LMV to wake up this morning and be able to kick the duvet off! Yes thighs were fine in fact everything in working order. Wasn't until I started day 2 of the shred and picked up my weights that I was aware of the 'burn' across my chest from that one exercise. Still not really surprising as I've done no weight…

Day 1 Banish Fat - 3 circuits Shred - level 1 Salsacise - 15 minute session Steps - 14,685 LMV/Bracken - I didn't intend to do 2 sessions of Jillian!! I was in the middle of my kick boxing session which I just love when I remembered I was meant to be doing the Shred today! So I put on the Shred straight after... Oh I still…

You'll no doubt hear me squealing!

Why not indeed!

I missed that comment! When were you thinking?!

Revised February Objectives Record steps daily on the exercise thread Start writing down what I'm eating 2 Jillian sessions a week Salsacise with Rosemary 5 times a week And get back to 9.9 by the end of the month.

Good Evening Crackers! I've had an idiotic 24 hours this week... 2 near sleepless nights in a row; the first one resulting in me letting a comment (which I now realise too late, my husband was simply 'remarking upon') really upset me. But because I was tired I didn't react instantly as I normally would and speak my mind,…
