I took advantage of the 3 for 2 in Boots and bought myself some more Soap & Glory (I love the serum in the silver tube, had to wretch open the tube today to get the last dregs out with a cotton bud so I knew I needed more)

At the moment I'm trying to keep away from people with colds and flu , I cannot afford to catch anything at the moment.

Tomorrow I think I'll do a complete spoiley day - wax, exfoliate, hair mask, face mask, file my nails .

Need to get my haircut too if possible.

I picked up the boots Christmas catalog yesterday and I can't see a giant soap and glory gift set this year!

Whaaaaaaat. I always buy DD be for her birthday which is just after Christmas.

False alarm I posted on the Christmas topic about the lack of big soap & glory and someone found it on the website.

Oh, so that's where you were!
Hello! I had no idea :)
Missed you Helga! How's the toddling going?

Hi kia!!!

Toddling is progressing. She can walk on her own but still prefers to be holding hands. She has decided sleep is for the weak though!

So I'd just gotten in from a lovely long dog walk. I got DD down to sleep and was going to have a lovely shower and body brush and moisturise. I was just walking into the bathroom when the dog came in after rolling in fox poo. So into the bath he had to go.

I did get my shower after but I didn't want to hang around in a bathroom that smells faintly of fox poo. The glamour of country living!

I just did day 1 of the shred!!! My legs are feeling very wobbly right now!

Went for a shower after and did a quick body brush and moisturised after. Feeling good!

Well done helga the shred is hardcore!

I ran today - longest ever - 6.07 miles

Keeping up with the moisturising. Mixed results on the cutting down on caffeine thing - not helped by there being loads of crap at work which means I started at 7.30 today, yesterday and Friday... and I have an hour's commute so been a bit knackered. Acute crap phase should be over now though so am back on that wagon. Also got a bit slack at my press ups so have kicked myself up the bum and WILL do them every day.

Christmas is getting very close now! I've even ordered a couple of Christmas presents.

I didn't shred yesterday, I was too sore! Thighs are still aching, sitting down and standing up is painful but I will do it this evening.

edith I've regressed on cutting down caffeine too. I'm back having a big mug of tea first thing and 2 cups of coffee. Need to stock up on herbal tea again.

How are you feeling now helga? Hope not too sore!

I had a better day on the caffeine front today. Had to go to meeting and snoozed on the train there and back - feel so much better for it! Going to bed in a few minutes too for an early night. Just 3 cups of tea today. Will aim for just 2 tomorrow...

I ran today as well - feeling good for it.

Keep going everyone!

Hmmmm, cup of tea and a can of coke

But on the bright side I have lost the 2 lbs I gained in my fat hormonal week plus another. Now 10 st 7 lbs

I read that as a gramme of coke. Can of coke not looking so bad...

meant gram of course!

75 days to go

Haha Orangey! Definitely just the Coca Cola!

Ran this morning, 5k and a new thing has arrived in my life - a chin up bar!!! Can't actually do a chin up but starting with jump chin ups - jump up and control descent to build up some muscles. Upper body strength will happen!

Sorry I missed yesterday!

It took 3 days before I felt recovered from the shred! Haven't had the chance to do it since. I just feel wrecked after putting DD down and I want is a cup of tea and half a pack of biscuits.

Am failing with fast days as well

edith that chin up bar sounds cool! I'm currently drinking a glass of full fat coke and had an iced coffee drink earlier - sigh!
