Thanks for visiting. I hope that everyone has a great Tuesday.

I dont know whether you know Janice (Abbagirl) - but she also swears by the calming effect of the treadmill. There is something so theraputic about a nice long walk that means that things can be thought about and analysed.
My challenge quota of boiled cabbage is eaten - but not to worry - I will have some tonight for fun but will not bother measuring! We are having another roast chicken so I always like a good selection of vegetables on my plate.

I know that you will do well with the challenge. If the exercise for the challenge is shared equally I think it means that everyone does something like 4 hours 17 minutes. I know how long you spend at the gym - you can do that without even trying. I cannot imagine that your team will have any difficulties with the challenge. I have only seen Amy about the various diaries but have been looking in on young Shannon since he joined at the start of the year. He is pretty consistent with going out walking / jogging and should get that in without any effort at all. Part of him fancies joining a gym - but he needs a bit of encouragement. He considered one but had second thoughts.
I suspect that you will all get through the cabbage without even trying to. Eating is something that few of us on the forum have ever had much problem with. Tell us that it is healthy and low calorie and our newly-found food conscience doesn't hold us back.
I strongly suspect that you are going to be like me with weightloss being the big challenge questionmark each week. We can only do our best - keep up the exercise and keep firm control on our food and hope for the best.

I popped into your diary straight away as soon as I saw your ticker. You must be so delighted to have been able to move your ticker to show that you have
LOST 50 POUNDS.
That is such a great milestone.
I wish that I was hovering above my goal weight like you are.

Believe me - after working with that lad - I certainly gained an appreciation of Belgian chocolate. I certainly know why you lived there. I am sure that it will not surprise you to know that we gave that lad another contract after he had left and worked somewhere else for a while. We needed someone new for the team and the idea of re-hiring him was irresistable.
I am going to leave off the soup now for a few days and see if my weight improves. I want to be losing some weight this week.
Oh yes - it rained. The forecasters had all been agreeing that the bad weather was on its way - but you know what it is - part of you hopes that they are all wrong. Just listening to it in the early hours - you knew that they were right. I had an extra phone call from my mother in the morning telling me not to go out walking. I decided to go just the same. It is easier to go than be annoyed with myself for not going. One of the women at my keep fit class said that her sister had phoned and told her not to go out in it in order to go to the class - and she only lives 5 minutes away!
I got drenched. I did a pretty constant impression of a drowned rat and went through quite a lot of clothes because I kept having to change after walks.
The forecasters cannot all agree on what is happening with the weather today. Naturally you hope that the one saying the least amount of rain is right. Only time will tell.
I mentioned to Cerella that yesterday's weather has taken out the big satellite dish. Hubby is therefore less than happy. The little Sky dish is ok though - so my normal television is unaffected. The big dish is motorised - so it isnt that it has just been knocked out of alignment - hubby thinks that one of the cables may have been stretched / damaged by the high winds. I must admit that I would have been a lot more concerned if it had been the Sky dish.
Hubby has started to look at treadmills again - the idea being that we could have one in the living room instead of one of the two settees. It certainly would make our living room very non-standard. The fact is that we have very few visitors so rarely need more than one settee and a treadmill could be very useful. It would be great if hubby did more walking so I am not inclined to dismiss the idea as readily as I would have at one time. I think that yesterday's weather is possibly influencing me a little too.
Take care
