    Thanks! Am going to try and do that as often as I can leading up to Christmas - busiest time of year at work for me so its not easy facing into a workout when I get home late! Plus it really woke me up yesterday - got so much work done (for once :D).

    Haven't logged in a while as I have been down the country (family bereavement) for the last week or so. Obviously haven't been able to do my workouts as a result. Now back at work and doing 15 hour days so workouts not going to happen this week either. Off down the country again Friday evening for Christmas..... GRRRRRRR! I really miss working out but just can't at the moment (can hardly type I'm so tired :( ) so I'll be back up and running next week sometime. Can't wait (which is a bit sad!! :o)

    Yeah!!!! I'm back - thankfully. Back to Dublin, back to work, back to healthy eating (although wasn't too bad) and back to workouts. Did TurboFire - Fire55EZ tonight and burned 464 calories - yipee. I literally was on fire and am still a very fetching shade of puce. Heart rate was through the roof during the HIIT intervals. Feel great now though and delighted to be back on schedule.

    Thanks! :):)

    I weighed myself this morning (a bit scared up to now) and have only put on 1.5 lbs since mid-Dec so happy days!! Not sure how that happened but hopefully my body won't decide to 'catch up' and put on a half stone overnight :D

    Looks like you're doing well too. Saw your post on the Paleo diet thing. Not sure as a veggie if I could manage it. I eat loads of veg and fruit anyway and could definitely do with cutting down the carbs even more. I have banned bread for January (instead of wine...:D) and hopefully that will drop a couple of pounds more. Its so hard to be good when its dark and cold and all you want to do is sit on the couch and snack!!!

    No I don't imagine vegetarianism & paleo go well together:D
    Well done on kicking the bread, I hardly ever have it anymore, it's pasta that find hard to give up as it is such an easy dinner....
    Good for you on the tiny gain too! I put on 5lbs :eek: but getting back on track asap & starting this paleo kick means I've lost it already :)

    Well done! Sounds like its working for you. Just had pasta by the way :-) - very yummy! I try and limit it to once a week. Not easy.....

    Turbo fire - Fire 45 finished - 376 calories. Very tired during it and kicks and jumps tough going. Been running around all day with the kids, shopping and housework and haven't eaten much so guess that's it. Off now for shower and snack before dinner!

    So have you seen the new beach body programme - body pump? say it'd be deadly. I have Insanity here but not really into that kind of cardio....esp the killer kind!
    Would you try Chalean Extreme when you're finished Turbo Fire?

    Just googled it. Looks good alright. I see that they include the bar and the weights in the pack - a bit odd?! Seems to be the opposite to Chalean Extreme ie low weights and high reps. Only released in Dec so might be a while before a 'cheaper' version is available! Yes the plan is to start Chalean after Turbo Fire. Going to do a hybrid so am looking around for Chalean at the moment. Was googling Insanity and P90x too but think they might be a bit hardcore at the mo :-) What's your plan?

    Ha Ha! Hopefully the neighbours won't get the wrong idea if they spot him measuring you :-). Best of luck with it. Let me know how you get on.
