ooh thanks for the above mr G! you rock.

Today I walked to the cinema, i got the bus home though as it was raining! I noticed the walk wasn't as bad as it used to be!

I'm going to a festival at the weekend so lots more dancing and walking coming my way too!

I've also started to use the nike app on my iphone that tracks the walking etc and plays songs from my phone. This might be a cool little toy that will make me find something fun in walking because i flipping hate it.

Thanks Glassy, that chart looks brill. i plan to look around for the scales on Friday when i'm out shopping. Those measurments are cool, i'll do them too. I have been mega busy these last few weeks, much stress at work, daughters birthday weekend and my sisters wedding at the end of this week but after Sunday on holiday from work for a fortnight - perfect time to kick start my new fitness regime :j

Did you manage to stay away from fattening things on your birthday??

Well done with the walks! Can I pursuade you to install Runkeeper for your Iphone? Then you can be part of my street team and we can encourage each other. Runkeeper is very popular and can be linked with facebook and does exactly what the Nike app does but more and better. Of course, its also free :)

Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.

No, I never tried to stay away from it either :twisted: You see, we all need our comfort days as a reward treat, dont we. Sundays were always my reward days because its the days I play cricket and so have the customary pint of beer with the lads and the "teas" (which is the cricket term for mid afternoon eateries including sandwhiches and cakes). Still, the reward days must be in moderation, no excessiveness. But being my birthday and had just completed 75km of running for the whole week, I knew I can indulge on my mother's delicious home baked cake...and indulged, I did ;)

i think i'll stick with the nike app for now, a few of my friends is using it too so. i'll look at the other one though.

if you have twitter i'll be updating that with my "run" info. (walk)

i'm actually wanting to watch the tennis so i'm going to do my walk/jog at home using the wii and my nike app. LOL this should be fun!

Well day three for me and I've fallen totally off the wagon so to speak. After my visit to the Dr I've been told I'm being referred for a Colonoscopy, and I won't be able to eat solids for 3 days 8O. Well apart from being terrified of the procedure, I'm eating like a loon, trying to compensate for this :oops:

Hopefully I'll calm down tomorrow and eat properly
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

I'm sure that you'll be ok and they'll take good care of you. Maybe there is some lovely soups you can eat, i make a delish tomatoe one with garlic, plum tomatoes, fresh basil and some veggie stock. On the up side You'll lose weight ;)

I had too many vinos last night and needed stodge today so wolfed down 2 pasties out of Greggs and a rum truffle :blink:

How is everyone doing? Remembering your goals? Reciting them daily? Watching what you eat? Rewarding your self on your seventh day?

Dont forget our progress project. Participants, have you all got your measurments? Even measuring your waist will be enough if you dont have weighing scales or body fat scales. A tape measure is all you need. And if you dont have one of those, than this link will give you no more excuses as these people will send you a tape measure for FREE! Thanks to Tilly who actually posted this up in the Bargains Board-Freebies thread :)
