Are you ready OB - 7 syns for half a mars bar, can't find the little thorntons eggs.
I am going to have a great weekend, then on Monday I am going to buy new running shoes and start jogging[msnscared]
It's years since I tried it but I am going to do it. Last time the weight dropped off me but I was a bit younger and not peeping at 40 in fact I probably didn'thavemuch to loose. I was never happy with my size but when I look at photos taken 10 years ago I can't believe I wasn't happy.
Have a great weekend everyone

Paula, if you are thinking about running here somes useful tips for you.........
The Total Beginner’s Quick Guide To Running
At some point early on, a beginner learns that 99.9 per cent of runners are pleasant, helpful people. This realisation usually dawns when a beginner meets a veteran at a race or on a training run, and the veteran starts sharing his or her enthusiasm for and knowledge of running. That’s how runners are. And that’s why, for this guide, we asked this question to a number of experienced runners of various ages: what do you know now that you wish you knew when you started? Whether you’re just starting out, or have been running for decades, you’ll learn something from their answers.
Every beginner asks at least a few of these questions at some point. Here are the answers:
How do I get started?
Start walking for an amount of time that feels comfortable - anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. Once you can walk for 30 minutes easily, sprinkle one- to two-minute running intervals into your walking. As time goes on, make the running intervals longer, until you are running for 30 minutes straight. Beginner schedules.
Is it normal to feel pain during running?
Some discomfort is normal as you add distance and intensity to your training. But real pain isn’t normal. If something feels so bad that you have to run with a limp or otherwise alter your stride, you’re probably injured. Stop running immediately, and take a few days off. If you’re not sure, try walking for a minute or two to see if the discomfort disappears. If it doesn’t disappear, consult your GP. More about injury.
Do I have to wear running shoes, or are other trainers fine?
Running doesn’t require much investment in gear and accessories, but you have to have a good pair of running shoes. Unlike all-round trainers, running shoes are designed to allow your foot to strike the ground properly, reducing the amount of shock that travels up your leg. They’re also made to fit your foot snugly, which reduces the slipping and sliding that can lead to blisters.
What’s the difference between running on a treadmill and running outside?
A treadmill ‘pulls’ the ground underneath your feet, and you don’t meet any wind resistance, which makes running somewhat easier. Many treadmills are padded, making them a good option if you’re carrying a few extra pounds or are injury-prone and want to decrease impact. To better simulate the effort of outdoor running, you can always set your treadmill at a one per cent incline.
Where should I run?
You can run anywhere that’s safe and enjoyable. The best running routes are scenic, well lit, and free of traffic. There also soft: choose trails or smooth grass rather than roads. Think of running as a way to explore new territory. Use your watch to gauge your distance, and set out on a new adventure each time you run. Talk to other runners about the routes they run. The more varied your routes, the easier running will feel. More about running surfaces.
I always feel out of breath when I run. Is something wrong?
Running causes you to breathe harder than usual, so some amount of huffing and puffing is normal. Most of that out-of-breath feeling diminishes as you become fitter. Concentrate on breathing from deep down in your belly, and if you have to, slow down or take walking breaks. If the breathlessness persists, ask your doctor about the possibility that you may have asthma.

Thanks Julie,I suppose that makes better sense than killing myself with an instant 30 run, not that I could do a thirty minute run I would have to be s[bad language filtered out]ed off the floor[msnembarrased]

It's my birthday today, 43 years young[msnwink]
One of my presents was new bathroom scales (which I asked for), the only problem is there is an 8lb difference between them and my old ones, I prefer the old ones. Peter and Jess have been on them and only show 1 or 2 lbs, but me 8lb[msnscared].
Healthy eating is going to go out of the window today. Have just been told where we are going and we have been there before, fantastic food and large portions, also after we are dropping the girls off at home and then going to a do at Peters work, buffet included[msneek]
Hope all you others have a better weekend food wise than me.
Happy birthday Sally[clap][clap][clap][clap][clap]
