well done allsinging! can't say i've been good this weekend.

but today's a new day! had a homemade fat free yoghurt with linseed, orange and mango mix this morning for breakfast, had a salad with smoked mackerel (not the lowest in calories i know, but very good for you) for lunch. and have brought in some special k chocolate snacks for the afternoon slump. not too bad i think?

...you're doing great jmd1983 love the idea of homemade yogurt is it easy to do?

[jmd1983]

haha reading back it does look like i actually made the yoghurt myself...but i didn't. i just b*y it in the supermarket! haha. but i b*y plain yoghurt and then put fresh fruit in and/or nuts and seeds and whiz it in the blender for a yummy, creamy, healthy and filling breakfast! :-)

My mum b*ght me a yoghurt maker which is really easy to use. Sadly I'm never at home (and conscious) for 5 hours at a time, so never make it (you have to take it out of the thing 5-7 hours after making it, else it goes sour I think). Mum has made it for me at my house (she's a very lovely lady!) and it's tasty - and I'm told healthier.

I tried a Body Pump class last night for the first (and last) time, I'm so stiff today. I thought the class was going to be like aerobics, so when we had to get the bars and weights out I was a bit surprised!! The instructor was really good and explained everything to us, but it was just a nightmare, I have no co-ordination and just ended up getting very frustrated!! I can see why it would help you lose weight and tone up, but its just not my cup of tea. I'm trying Pilates tonight and Spinning tomorrow, so hopefully I'll enjoy them more

I've been house bound today, my youngest was sick in the night, so no school today. .... and i'm afraid i lost an argument with the ginger nuts..(resist the urge please) half a packet later and hubby home its the gym tonight

keep up the good work guys

Had to cancel my spinning class cause I'm still so stiff from Bodypump a couple of days ago, 1 day I will try spinning

i am really struggling still. i feel very tired in the evenings and can't bring myself to get up off my lazy ass and do some exercise!

ah keep with the Body pump, it does get easier. I couldn't work out how to change the weights quick enough, but once you get the hang of it its fun.

As for Spin or RPM, I would be near enough crying after 5 mins! I hate it with a vengeance. For me, its Body Combat, and Body Pump with a bit of Body Balance if I can get out the house in time on a Saturday.vx

Hi Everyone how is everybody doing? Just started hill walking again and feel far better for it (and tired).
Has anyone one heard from TheycallmeMrGlass, he seems to have disappeared just concerned that he is OK as he was a really active member of this site and he's not posted for ages.

I started the week well, then went to a screening of Alice in wonderland at my mates company. All fine and dandy but unfortunnately there's a lovely bar on the ground floor and I ended up drinking! First alcohol in monthss, 3 drinks and I'm drunk I did avoid the chippy though. Congrats on starting the hill walking Diane, that's really good exercise for the legs.

I did manage a body combat today, still feeling the effects of the booze hehe
