BinkyBonk needs to lose weight...

Can I ask you where you got the figure from for the 1 mile walk - I went onto the website when I first started doing them and it says approx 100 per mile.- it is a little more if you use the boosters like the hand and ankle weights etc. Calorie burn per Mile? | Walk at Home

I just use MFP and it calculates everything for me, not too worried if it is out by a bit as it is still exercise :)

Didn't want you to eat any of them back using MFP - was told at the gym that they over calculate on quite a bit of their exercise calculations.

  1. Commitment fees (back fees) are payable if a member misses a week. Exceptions to this are:
    1. Shift Workers – provided the shift worker notifies the Consultant, in advance, of which weeks they cannot attend because they have to work. If the shift worker misses weeks for other reasons eg social events, then they must pay for the missed weeks.
    2. Holiday and Illness – in a period of any one year, 6 weeks in total are allowed to be missed without charge, for holidays and illness providing: a) in the case of holidays, the member notifies the Consultant in advance;
    3. Shift Workers – provided the shift worker notifies the Consultant, in advance, of which weeks they cannot attend because they have to work. If the shift worker misses weeks for other reasons eg social events, then they must pay for the missed weeks.
      • in the case of holidays, the member notifies the Consultant in advance;
      • in the case of illness, the member is genuinely unfit to attend and notifies the Consultant as soon as possible. In the case of hospitalisation they would automatically be exempt from back fees, for that week.
 
Well our consultant was speaking about this today in class =) And she said that if you know you cannot come next week , let her know and she will make notice of that and you dont have to pay for the week you missed, but if you missing week and not telling her you will be charged for missing weeks too. I cant really see big problem here unless you planing not to keep going in class. Its same as gym pass, isnt it ? you pay for month and if you dont go , you still have to pay for it.
For me it havent been a problem, I love the program - its working for me , I love my consultant, shes amazing and my class is so lovely , friendly and I get great tips there. 4.95 is not much to pay for that in a week. =)

Thank you Moo, I think I will ring and check, because I nanny so can't know if I can attend it or not until week before, I am hoping to only miss one a month at most but don't want to be paying £5 a month for not attending if that makes sense, as I don't have a lot of money at the minute x

Everyone says it is a good plan and I am hoping to meet new friends there as I get a bit lonely here sometimes x

This was a problem at the class I went to - some people would just not turn up then moan when they had to pay it, making lots of excuses like they missed the bus, overslept, had a headache etc and so she put up a copy of the rules so there would be no misunderstanding.
 
We had a lovely night last night with our friends, we went to Za Za Bazaar and I am scared to even guess the calories consumed, I am so rubbish at being good :(

Today I haven't been too bad and we have had a relaxing day as I have a twelve hour shift tomorrow, going to be tough after two weeks off me thinks :/

Currently sat watching Die hard 4 with a cup of tea :)

I am going to try really hard to eat well, I really enjoy eating fruit and veg just seem to reach for the wrong foods, I really want to start being stronger and making the right choices as I want to get to my goal weight x
 
This is from my friend Barbette who is a SW devotee - it is on my diary but thought I would tell you about it. -----

The extra easy plan is the same just simplified, fruit and veg are either speed or not no more of this super speed and super free and they have introduced a new symbol P for protien. So you would have a plate 1/3 speed, 1/3 protein and 1/3 free. They have got rid of success express and introduced extra easy SP, on SP days you only mainly eat speed and protein, normal amount of syns and a slight amount of free, 2 healthy B's and 1 healthy A. If you end up eating more free food you just turn it into a EE. some of the syns have changed, mainly takeaways and alcohol, some of the fruit are not speed anymore and some veg are. Not a massive change, they no longer have original and green days in the books and the syn value for those days are online now.

I think this plan would be the healthiest for me as you can still eat different foods, just in moderation, it all depends what time I finish work this Wednesday now eeek x

So you are planing to join SW class ? ;) I hope you will find all you looking for in there. Good luck and have fun. Smiles :)
 
You weigh in today binks?

I came out of bond street station earlier and could smell the most AMAZING aroma of hot chocolate. There was a kiosk outside the station:

It was incredible the stuff coming out of there!! An ice cream dessert on with a hot chocolate flavoured gooey melting sauce with cakey gooey brownie bits in it. I nearly mounted the counter
 
How was your 12 he shift sweetie? X
 
Forgot to add - my first thought was of you of course when I smelt the hot chocolate :)
