DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Good morning girls, its a lovely morning here today. My OH and I are going on a bike ride this morning, it was going to be tomorrow, but not going to take any chances with the weather.

If you just keep moving, the finish line will show up sooner or later.

The world record holder for the 1,000-mile endurence run and a physical mastery "guru" was asked, how he had geared up mentally, for the equivalent of nearly 40 continuous marathons.

He had replied:

"I never ran 1,000 miles- I cant even conceive of runny 1,000 miles. All I did was run 1 mile a thousand times"

Do you believe you could lose one pound this week, by continuing to eat when you are hungry and stopping when you are full?

If you can, congratulations- you WILL reach your goal!

Good luck with the weekend girls, I hope you are doing something nice, and moving your body just that little bit more, "remember step by step".

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

What a fabulous post. Loved the bit about the thousand miles.
Have a lovely bike ride, I am glad you are having nice weather, the weather here in Cornwall is damp and grey. I have just taken a turn around the garden (it did not take long, its a very small garden!) and because of the damp weather the slugs have had a field day with my hollyhocks! I am now feeling quite murderous and decidely grumpy. OH went out with the boys last night, came home and snored all night, in fact he is still in bed snoring and I am getting even more grumpy and this time not with the slugs!

Anyway I will go now and have a nice fresh fruit salad and some yoghurt and try to think calming thoughts! ( I really do prefer waking up with PMK)

Happy days guys,
Honeybunny.

CAAAALLLLLLMMMMMM,

Honey I cant believe for one minute that you prefer waking up with PMK rather than your hunk on a rope!!

I know who I would choose!!

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Honeybunny, you have my sympathy - my OH does the kind of snoring that you get in cartoons - you know, where the drawers slide in and out? Now ES is away from home, he spends a lot of nights sleeping in that bedroom - his own choice, because he could see how exhausted I was getting as I'm a very light sleeper. He said he got tired of me poking him in the ribs! (if you get desperate, it's a useful technique!)

MJM, I like this post very much - it's what I keep trying to tell myself - a pound a week will add up, won't it.

Today I'm wearing a jersey tunic that I bought by mail order several months ago. It's quite clinging and I thought it looked dreadful, but never got around to sending it back - partly because I love the colour - the same blue as my eyes. I'm weaing it today and the bulges are definitely much less - I look quite trim, so the exercise is obviously doing good.

Enjoy your bike ride and he lovely weather - we've got the same as you honeybunny, but perhaps it'll cheer up later.

What a boost Val.

Its the best part for me too, getting back into clothes that you never thought would see the light of day again.

Well done you, getting trimmer, looking and feeling fab.

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Err yes, I have calmed down, instead of thinking of ways to murder him and dispose of the body under the patio, I have moved on to think of slow excruiciating torture, like taking the fuse out of the TV plug. It is the FA cup today!!

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Oh Spanishlady,
I was once where you are now, woke up with very very bad head, dry mouth, furry teeth and felt so sick. All day I hovered in that shadowey place between life and death. In fact I hope OH is there now but I hope you feel much better soon. For him, I would wish a long and protracted visit!!!!!

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Morning mjm, just up indeed!!!

I'm going to move from the computer chair to the settee and back again for most of the day today.

Is OH trying to stop his bum looking bigger than yours? Is that why he is taking forever to get ready?

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Is it too late to join your slimming club. I obviously wasn't around when you first started.
Do you have diet sheets and advice. I like the idea of doing it in a team.

Could I please join. I would be grateful if you could send me ANYTHING I need to know.

I dont know about you but I am ow desperate to lose a lot of weight. I made myself a promise that this year when I go on holidays I will have lost two stone. It hasn't worked. I obviously need the encouragement you give to each other.
thank you

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Great post mjm - and so true - better to lose a pound a week and do it gradually. Also, thinking of the pound that you would like to lose in the coming week is much more manageable than thinking about the total amount of weight that you need to lose.

Honey - you have my sympathy - my OH snores as well!

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Thats the spirit Spanish!!, I hope you feel much better now.

Not long back from my bike ride with OH, and we had a wonderful time, 12 miles along The Dee Side Way we went, the weather was good to us too, we had a little picnic which was great.

I am pleased to say I am a lot fitter than OH is, he will be nursing his Dingle Dangle for a while I think, I hope he doesnt need my assistance!!

Hi Patdock, if you read the "FLABULESS FORUMERS, To Clarify " thread, not sure what page its on now, maybe 4 or 5, it will give you all the info you need.

Valaber, what are you like? luckily he wasnt in the loo his normal 2 hours, so we set off sharper than I thought.

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Hi all the bit at a time sounds great, I am so worn out at the moment, hope to find some oomph to get going again. Spanish lady really feel for you, Thankfully, I don't get hangovers.

MJM, I will be able to weigh myself on Monday as we have had to cancel our trip as my OH has been advised it is unsafe for him to travel. His undergoing further tests and waiting for a transfusion, once it is deemed safe for him to have one.

Valaber, hope your knee is better soon,

Happy chipping away everyone!

Re: DAY 48,........ Bit By Bit.

Bally I'm so sorry about your holiday - a disappointment anyway, but even more so given the reason for cancelling. I hope you and your OH will be able to pamper yourselves a bit anyway, and that he will soon be well enough for the transfusion.

My love and prayers go with you.
