Is anyone feeling all MOTIVATED on this lovely sunny MONDAY

[StealthPolarBear]

I am :o

Was thinking earlier about my portion sizes, so below is a transition of reducing my breakfast cereal through portion size of bowl. I started out with the extra large bowl, and now use the smallest one (or the slightly bigger one if I'm really hungry). I always fill my bowl so I need to feel like I'm getting a bowlful!

Stealth enjoy the week end to yourself

eighty sounds like a good work trip bar the lack of running.

Did a plyo workout today and lots of walking, but just ate chocolate I've earned it

Toe fluff how is your grandad now?
I hate the thought of camping and conversely I love the thought of two whole night and days to just please myself :o

Stealth. My thoughts exactly!

Hope your grandad feels better soon Toe.

Good idea with the bowl reducing Reastie, it's one for dh to try.

I've had a lovely day. I went to Chester with my mum and dd. We walked all around the wall and had I tasty lunch overlooking the river. I had fish cakes and no pudding but I did have a glass of wine. It was just so relaxing, sitting in a beautiful garden in a restaurant with the sun shining, after a good walk. :)

I hope everyone's ready for the weekend.

I'm going to a party tomorrow night and it's Great Gatsby themed. At least it will be classy. Last time I had to go as a 1980s children's tv character. Dh and I went as He-man and She-Ra! It was hysterical. .

What are you all up to? Will you be good?

Toe, how's your grandad?

Right, we NEED a photo of He-man and She-Ra!

Cinema tonight, so popcorn essential, and last minute free ticket to Derren Brown tomorrow night!

I'm full of good intentions. On my own this weekend so going to shred twice today and tomorrow and eat the salad I will make tonight.
That's the plan anyway...
Enjoy the party and derren brown, I'd love to see one of his shows

Sorry hair party and kato derren
For some reason I thought they were both hair - I did think it was a lot to cram into a weekend

I haven't got He-man but this is She-Ra!

Hmm, there's something about Derren Brown.

Oh and the scales showed the lowest I'd been in ages this morning (11s6) so I CANNOT blow it this weekend
Those are usually the words of doom...

You looked good :o (if slightly sheepish

Funnily enough I'm not keen on having my picture taken!

Well done on the scales. Stick a post-it on the fridge, snack cupboard, dangerzone for this weekend. It will help.

Hair I'm SO with you on something about Derren Brown , kato I'm v envious, I looked into going to one of his shows but too ££

Hair swit swoo lady she-ra, fab costume. What's the Gatsby themed costume plan?

Stealth woop re: weight reading

This week end I was planning on finishing some DIY I started during the week in the garden, but weather doesn't look promising, so not sure. However, workouts will DEFINITELY be involved. Got a massage tonight, bliss.

1920s style dress Reastie. It should be fun.

Well I've had a shit afternoon. Will someone give me a hug and tell me I'm not a shit mum pls. Don't care if you mean it, I just need hear it. :(

I will be having wine later!

Of course you're a fab Mum Hair . You give expert parenting advice on the radio, how could you not be fab. What happened?

What's happened hair?
I happen to think you're pretty fantastic and can't imagine your parenting would be any different

Hair, you are definitely not a shit mum!
if your parenting counts as "shit" mine would go off the poo scale
I'm free this evening if you want to talk it out over a drink ( or I don't mind which).

Mate, if there was ever a shit mum, it certainly wasn't you!

What's happened? X

mI'm free! But in durham, a bit inconveniently

My newspaper article is live here

Congratulations :o

Oh no the link to the e book doesn't work :(

Great article IMST!

Thanks everyone. I do appreciate it. My issue is here if you want to read it.

I didn't want to bring it to this thread but I needed a virtual hug.

book link that does work
Hair, I'll see if I can dig out an appropriate book for you (big surprise - I have a book on that!)
