Hope you'll be feeling better soon, Val! Wishing you a :new_year:
DS, DDIL and baby granddaughter left today
after spending 5 days with us - on Sunday I had 20 people here (which included 2 babies and 3 young children) most of whom stayed for the buffet meal. Glad to say there was more than enough food and drink but it's a long time since I've entertained so many! It will take me a day or two to get back to 'normal' - all good intentions for the new year as regards food and fitness!

Hi Val x
I wondered if that was you on your avatar! Good for you for getting stuck in lol!
I totally relate to what you said about food and Christmas! I was miserable with the food too...but you kinda HAVE to keep shovelling it down you don't you???
And I feel like a different person now I'm back on plan! You obviously feel the same way! I'm sure it WILL last hunni...you sound really motivated to me xxx

Glad to hear your back on track. My first week has been very focused and I'm feeling determined. I'm hungry (even tho I shouldn't be) but staying on track. I ate loads over Xmas and new year but managed to go running every other day. New years resolution is to focus on body magic! Was a bit disappointed to go to WI yesterday and find their scales suggest I'm 2lb heavier than home scales. Booooo!

Hey Val, what a timely reminder of why you're doing this and how far you've come. Good for you! I look at pics of me now at 19 stone and wonder how the hell it got so bad and how I will never go back there. It's very motivating to see how far you've come so good for you for getting positive again and making such a difference to your life. Climbing wall indeed! You're a star!

I've been back to basics over the past couple of days and superfree-ing like a nutter. Struggling a bit but hanging in there. We will get there in the end.

Hi Val
What was over the other side of the wall?? No way I would climb that unless there was a Twix or two awaiting me.

hi pomooky have to confess i was egged on by my son in law, was only going to go to the top he said i wouldn't be able to climb over & come back down the other side so had to show him there was life left in the old girl lol felt exhilarated afterwards i was sure my back was going to hurt as it was playing up as we were walking round but the stretching seemed to help it. hope u have a good week love val xx:banana dancer:
