Hi all,
Sorry, just not had time to catch up much the last few days. Busy with work, xmas, the usual stuff. Food needs took a bit of a back seat. The gain i had last week lingered and i was 3lb up at WI on Wed. Not too bothered though, scales have dropped since then. Will just plod on, still doing 1200 this week, and enjoying the meals. The odd 'cheat' but nothing catastrophic.
Good on you Mel for having the intergrity to stand by your beliefs and stand up against the bad practice within your work place. Can't be easy. Must be kind of nice to not have to work though, almost makes it a bit easier to be so bold...Unfortunately i have to work, and the NHS is rife with internal politics which you tend not to put yourself up against if you want to continue working! I do a fair bit of challenging, but still within limits. Sad, but true fact of many peoples work i suppose. Hope you cope ok with the change in life, must take some getting used to.
Pol, sorry your girlfriend is off for 6mths, must be tough on you both. Don't blame you for the indulgences... hope stomach feeling normal again and your back allowed a fair old crack at the xmas shopping. Sorry iforgot to answer your query,- i have the windsor pilates dvd's- about 10 of them. My mother got them from a shopping channel, got a ring and a resistance band too. It came as a programme, and they sent a new dvd every month or so till she cancelled them. They are really good, not too hard and supposed to be great for strengthening core muscles which ultimately support the back too. It doesn't feel too difficult to do, but you can feel the effect in a few days- i have to confess, its gone out the window at the moment, but i did enjoy it.
Hope everyone is doing ok, back in work next few nights, so will catch up again when can. xx
