Just lurking Bitey?? How is BiteyBach doing?

Bugs step away from Google....

Exercise makes me happy. It makes me less stressed. Sometimes I really have to make myself do it but I always feel better afterwards. You should take it easy though Bugs. P'raps just getting out for a walk? Saying that it's binning it down here.....

Wank. Bold fail.

In a spooky parallel, i am googling "did i cause my ectopic". While thinking i should really go and do some exercise. It is so cold and grey outside that it feels quite difficult to get out and be active, for some reason.

I know it is insane, but I think it anyway. Bah.

I think I am just stressed about the move, wishing I weren't on my own and generally prey to anxiety and misery as a result.

It will all be over soon though. And then I can do daily sechs like everyone else (ahem).

Daily?! no chance unless MSB's libido goes through the roof actually I am tempted to lure him to bed for sff while my Dad is having a train ride with my sister, bil and dnephew. Choo Choo!
Now baubs and poley. Stop it. Now. no way it's your fault. You are luffly. Now step away from the Google.

[duct tapes bugs & Northey's hands behind their backs] Stop it! Google is the root of all evil!

Well, I located my missing file, and didn't make too much mess in the process! I also did my weeding, well most of it.

I'm going to sit down with a nice cup of tea before contemplating doing some more work. We got a very cool interactive CD-ROM with our learning packs so that's helping the veterinary language sink in, a bit!

I've decided that I am going to resume Shredding as of tomorrow. A good 12 days of shredding before Christmas shuld tighten up the wobbly bits and get me looking fabulous for Crimbo. I have a lovely LK Bennett dress (this one in Magenta) that I bought to wear to Ascot earlier in the year that I am going to crack out for Christmas Day. I shall be the hostess with the mostess!

Wowza that dress is stunning! Is that shredding of the 30 day variety? I have been wrung utter crap this week. I may start my healthy diet again tomorrow....

Oh yes. Jillian will have me gargling my own heart at 7am tomorrow!

Ouch!

Bugs The 30 Day Shred is a DVD workout. There are 3 levels and the theory is you do each one for 10 days. It is presented by a very annoying American fitness-freak called Jillian-Something. She did/does "Biggest Loser" in the USA.

If I'm honest I've never made it to level 3! I find it is easier to do Level 1 until you can do it without collapsing () and then move on to Level 2. The workouts are 20mins long (in reality about 25 mins by the time you've done the warm up and cool down) and consist of 3 x 3 min strength, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs circuits.

There are lots of MNers shredding, so you can usually find someone who is at the same level as you to help keep you motivated. I got mine from Amazon

It does work though: when I've been on it for a week or so I definitely notice my wobbly bits tightening up and you can feel the workouts getting easier atfer a few days. Of course, the first time I did it I thought I was going to die and couldn't walk properly for a few days!

Gorgeous dress, supercave. I need a pre-Christmas trim as well, but am finding it hard what with move stress (I'll shut up whining about the move soon, I promise). But I thought I might try cutting out carbs for a week so at least my stomach looks flat on Christmas Day. Even if the actual Christmas food fest will bloat me into a sleepy zeppelin.

is it cos I'm cool?!
my sister is a shredder. It sounds painful. I shall continue to Curves myself instead.

Afternoon BESHes. I was meant to go for a nice long walk this afternoon but it was pissing down so we lit the fire instead and have spent the afternoon writing Christmas cards and watching cheesy films. Much better.

Quit all Inappropriate Googling, BESHes. No Good Can Come Of It.

God I'm cold.

dor that sounds luffly.
rie are you in an old house?
I am suddenly aware of how fortunate we are to be at my Dad's. It's absolutely hammering down and has been all afternoon. But we're secure and safe under a blanket on the sofa. We are blessed. I am blubbering wreck :)

Quick, quick, get to your teleboxes. Elf is on channel 4 in 10 minutes!
