Nice workouts there and a bonus getting the gym workout Happy Thanksgiving!

I have to say, and I know it's cliche, but I think the weather has something to do with some of it. If your weather is like ours, you're in London right? I am having to force myself to do much in the way of exercise as rainy/gloomy weather makes me want to curl up on the sofa with a good book or movie, a cup of tea or hot chocolate and biscuits. Can't have the biscuits they = lbs on and not off. Maybe if you are watching movies you could watch one that inspires you just to get your get and go back so to speak

Did you say no cheese is easy?! Man I love cheese! That sounds like a delish meal must try it sometime. Nice blood test results must be nice to know you are healthy inside and out, way to go! Have a great trip and thanksgiving

50 pushups in a row, I want to get to that stage, heck I want to get to 10 lol. I swear I could do it once

Kishi is a beast all round (in the most positive sense lol) I take it the fitting everything in was so you could take a day off today? Have a great thanksgiving!

Ha ha The Horror lol Have a great thanksgiving

Have a great thanksgiving today (had to google it lol) enjoy!

Sounds like you've had a busy week. You'll get used to soon no doubt and be back on track with the workouts

Hey GTTG looks like you are rocking this challenge, way to go man! Just had a look at your website - WOW that is amazing, and that doesn't sum it up enough! I am going to save it for a read later, have to check out some other threads first

Thanks for all the positivity - you guys ALL ROCK and I am most proud to be part of the Monks with all of you! Alas bad news today, my shiny new toy has gone missing - it was apparently delivered last night but it wasn't and there was no missed delivery card put through the door. Really miffed, really, really miffed (Hubby just phoned as I was typing this, contacted Amazon and they are investigating the delivery company, laptop will be here Saturday.) Update for last night 2 Mind - Meditate for 15 minutes 3 times a week (+2 WIS) 30 minutes done - I checked the clock ;p Off to check out all your posts now x

1 Fitness - Exercise for 30 minutes 3 times a week (+3 STR +3 STA +2CHA) 30 minutes Pilates done today, no walking had to wait in for boiler man plus it was peeing it down! 3 Life - De-clutter Craft Room/Cloakroom area (+3 WIS) Magazines gone through and pages marked for cutting out and filing - had just over a years worth of magazines! Positive side of this is that every single magazine has stuff that will be useful which shows I am not wasting my money on them On a side note, my laptop has been dispatched so hoping it will be here soon *does happy dance

Sounds like you are doing a great job! Keep it up

Beautiful, glad you managed to relax x

Thanks and thanks, I'll try that Lol I forget sometimes that there is a language difference http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pants pants adjective. British slang. Not good; total crap; nonsense; rubbish; bad "The first half of the movie was pants but I stayed until the end and it was actually a great film." Ha yes I know I can check the clock but I was mega tired last night so failed lol

Glad it went as well as it could for you. You are doing really well staying focused and adapting, keep it up you can do it!

You guys are all putting me to shame with your exercise routines, my energy levels are pants. Thanks for the encouragement Update from last night, just a quicky but said I had to get better at tracking my meditation and where better than here Minimum 15 minutes done last night, didn't check the clock after as I started at 10.40 and was tired so just unplugged and went to sleep. Quick question if anyone can help? I downloaded the guided meditations recommended by Jedi_Mind but they won't sync onto my ipod, not sure why or what to do about it? They are in a separate section in my iTunes under iTunes U and I can listen to them on the laptop but that's not much help unless I do my meditation downstairs before going to bed, which I suppose I should be doing maybe? Anyway if anyone has any suggestions they'd be much appreciated, thanks x

Thanks for the page link, bookmarked I know what you mean keeping up with the community, I am reading everyone's post but haven't commented on all, sometimes the updates are over my head and I don't know what to say lol. I try and check in once a day but there are quite a few monks now!

You are killing this challenge Chanda!

Yay for the new move!
