Well done on another pound gone Mrs. The red day plan looks good too 
Hi Capricorn!!! Just popping in to say well done on another pund off!
I lost 3 this week but that's only because I was such a pig over Xmas and New Year that I put on almost half a stone!
I'm off to London for 2 days training this week so goodness only knows what that'll do my weight!!
Take care, lots of love, Trace xxx

Good evening all
It bloomin cold here again
.....
Thanks for the congratulations folks -its another step in the right direction, so Im happy.... I expected it to slow down well before now so as far as Im concerned "off is off"
Lesley- :cross: for your weigh in tomorrow, Im sure you will do fine
elb-I swear that getting organised has been the biggest help for me (ok Im perhaps a bit OCD about it) -But you work don't you? so I would imagine it should make life a lot easier on you -knowing that you are coming home to XYZ rather than getting home thinking "what can I put together?" then "oh b*gger have I took it out of the freezer?" etc.... hope it works for you..... I love meal planning..Im a sad sac :silly:
JJ -nice to see you back -hope you are having a good week,,,
Niknaks,,,, hubby has noticed my confidence increasing now I can actually go to my wardrobe and put something on that doesn't make me look and feel like a bag of poop tied in the middle -god knows what he will have to deal with when I hit target
Trace -:happy036n your loss!!! Hope you have a good time in london ...and don't stress yourself out, its only 2 days and you know you can pull it back :clap:
Giblet -nice to see you back too.... get posting, you know you want too
well I have settled on this weeks main meals ...and we have - in no particular order:- AND as far as Im aware it means I "shouldn't" need to do any shopping this week :happy036:
I have the chicken breasts out of the freezer for no.1 tomorrow, the beef out to defrost for the Irish stew on Tuesday, then I will use the other half of the chicken breasts on Wednesday-now THAT IS organised
right I will get off again... hope everyone is well....

Nikki -you will soon find your mojo again... once you get back into the swing of it, it will be like you were never away... pinkies crossed for a good week for you
Hi valerie
I can't cope with being unorganised -strange thing is once you start it makes it so much easier, I love knowing at least roughly what Im going to have each evening for dinner and it works out much cheaper if I meal plan too
How are you this week anyway?
Well folks my ea sports II game has just arrived and hubby has set it up .. I also got my raiser for the board and the 1kg weights ... I had a look at one of the step routines and OMG it has steps on I don't know -something called the "L step" for a start ... so I WILL be taking the raiser off the board and NOT using the weights whilst I get used to it
-if you hear thunder later or see a news flash about earthquakes in Germany it will be yours truely falling a*se over t*t out of the patio doors
wish me luck folks -Im going in..... oh and if Im not here tomorow its will be because Im in traction
- have a good evening all..
oh and the Irish beef stew was yummy

Good morning all
Gail -I have the ea sports personal trainer and "more workouts" discs which I love -but it was the ea sports II that came yesterday -the one with a leg strap and arm strap that counts your heart rate and its cordless (so no more whiplash)..
I did the workout the trainer picked for me this morning and chose the medium effort option.... well what can I say apart from -it was only 25mins and burnt about 125cals but core blimey did I feel it -you use resistance bands n stuff .. it looks like it could be good :cross:...
I have picked the 3 week start up challenge -you do 4 sessions a week and then Im hoping to use the other ea sports game to do the step and boxing with the step raiser and dumbells inbetween ...lets see if I can keep this up
....
Well folks Im on another red day and it should look like this:-
-I really need to get back into the routine of having brekkie -I seem to have lost it whilst hubby was off work ..
The lemon and 5 spice chicken is supposed to be done with chicken thighs but I don't like them , so I sliced the breasts up last night and put it in the marinade then later I will ad it to a stir fry mmmmmmm. I will share the recipe if its a goody
right I had better get off and get lunch and then on with some more sorting -have a great day everyone

Good evening all
Thanks for the comments on the trek folks....
Nikki -I know, I have eyeballed these kind of challenges before but knew I wasn't fit enough and even though Im still not -I now have enough faith in myself to KNOW I can get light enough and fit enough to do it -all be it with ample amounts of huffing n puffing
JJ -Im focusing on the hotel night and shopping at the moment - Just need to get fit enough to make it enjoyable rather than torture 
Netty-neil, Im hoping that it will keep me on the wagon -if this doesn't then nothing will, will it :fingerscrossed:
Well folks my "biggest loser" game arrived home with hubby -its this one :-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Biggest..._2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1294949898&sr=1-2
I have set it up and done 1x20 min moderate workout... and gawd did I feel it.... Im planning on mixing that plan up with the ea sport II one and if THAT doesn't help "shed the wobble" and get me fit -then there is something wrong..
By the way, am I the only one who has feet that don't seem to like leaving the floor ? :giggle:
I have been sat this evening making earrings to sell and it keeps my head out of the fridge..
Right I had better get off -have a lovely night all and keep up the good work!!

Capricorn,
I am soooo delighted for you about your trip. Very exciting. I'm sure it will keep you focused and committed (not that you seem to need that from your diary !!!).
I haven't been on the EA active since just after I bought it *eek* but hoping to do some more over the weekend and also go out running (fingers crossed !!!). Let us know how you get on with the biggest loser and how it compares to the EA active (using you as our online 'guinea pig' !!!).
