Diary of a Maintainer

[Laura_carlburgess]

I'm afraid of Zumba! I have no coordination!

Lauara, if you're worried about the over synning, have a go at success express which should solve the issue.

Neither have I...these hips were not meant for dancing haha

What's that again? I always get confused on the concept of it? X

 

[Shrimpy]

It's like extra easy..

You eat 3 meals a day- in those you have 2/3 superfree and 1/3 free (either green, red or both)
All snacks must be superfree, HEx or Syns.
You get 2 Bs and 1-2As
Take syns at the highest value.

Enjoy crazy losses!

[Laura_carlburgess]

What do you think of the 30DS? It hurts doesn't it?!!?

To be honest I am ok at the moment but that's possibly due to the twice weekly aerobics...I did say that my instructor was hardcore haha. But I might get into that lull in a few days time as I do try to exercise about 4 times a week...7 days a week over 30 days? Hmmm not so sure haha. I may go onto level two after 5 days...but we shall see as I have got to be up about 5.30-5.45pm to do it tomorrow as it's a work day for me x
