Good mass mate and shape look really good once the pounds start dropping off you!!

blimmin 'eck!...you need to put sox on your feet or you will get a cold!....consider yourself told...lolol...well, you did say I could!....serve you right...lolol....enormous back.....that's clearly my technical knowledge outed now...lol.....really, good luck....errrm...I always look a the little screen too...are you not supposed to?.....lol..

Too late me got blocked nose and runny eye keep sneezing, feel like poo.

Nothing wrong with looking at the small screen, but i had not hit the pose but because she was just looking at the screen she could not tell, and just clicked away.

aaah...I see....well your GF did much better than me, the other week I actually put my eye up to the screeen...(WTF?)...yes I did....lol.....and couldn't understand why I couldn't see my friends through the other side....ahem......what can I say....didn't hear the last of it all berluddy night!....haha.....when you say you walk fast in the morning, do you mean on the treadmill with an incline or flat walk outside?....I tend to go on the tread and lift the incline every 4 mins until I get to the top and then go back down again...sorry for question...hope you don't mind....I pwomise not to stalk you...or anyone else for that matter...just a bit keen to learn....

That made me laugh (trying to look throught the lcd screen) you really are something else, bet you have lots of friends, you are funny, do your friends call you special please dont take it the wrong way you just make me laugh.
I walk outside at a steady pace keeping it constant my route takes me 45 min and has some inclines but not many mostly flat, its a bit cold in the wind as it blows off the sea but i am looking foward to early mornings when its warmer and the sun is rising best part of the day, guess we are all a little bit crazy,

I don't mind if you laff at me...I do know I appear to have a bit of a "screw" loose...i seem to have a talent for getting into scrapes..(sigh).. and the more  I try not to worse it gets....oh well....prolly wouldn't help to know I is blonde!!!!...lolololol...as for walking by the sea, that's what I do at the weekends when I have time...really early about 5 ish along the south coast...I love it, don't mind the bad weather either, but yes, I'm also longing for some warmer weather now...during the week its the local park , or the treads when its dark so I don't get mugged by some nutter!....thanks for your advice...I'm working my way through the blokes journals and know I can't add anything helpful but some of the tips and stuff help me, that's why I'm reading them....I'm really not on a mission to p...s everyone off....or am I?....kidding!!..lolol

Thanks for your kind comments in my journal, you got a boy of 3 then, hectic aren't they? Mine's a complete nutter, well different to my daughter who's lovely but turning into a madam already. You just got the one?

walking this morning was done in the rain not bad considering its winter/ spring, 7 days so far and only 1 in the rain,
Note to ones self put the lid on the mixer before turning on as linseeds go every where, there are a lot of little seed in one tablespoon, had to get the hoover out

boy of three hey?...my friend has a 4 yr old and he regularly launches himself onto my stomach when I stay there and prises my eyeballs open to "see if I am awake" to play fire engines!!!!!...gaaaaaaaaah!....why oh why did I start that game I'll never know.....lol......linseeds Scrubby?  i get mine ready ground....is it better to buy whole and grind them yourself then?...

Well i say 3 but he will be 4 in april, and is as mad as a sack full of monkeys, wakes up just after 6am and thinks everyone has to be awake, want to watch dvd on tv, everything he wears has to have a picture of ben ten, bob the builder,lighten mcqueen the red car from the film cars, on it, and yesterday when i was getting ready to go to the gym, i was bending down doing up my trainers, he walked past slaped me in the face and said smack up the chops, what could i say, you got to love him, he is so funny,

i brought the whole seeds as i got a big bag from the health food shop, and if you put them into the blender on there own then they get ground up, cant get any fresher than that.
