Oooh berries! I have frozen blueberries in the freezer, would they work ok? I always baulk at the ridiculously priced tiny fresh punnets in my grocer. I personally am not a porridge fan - but love the pancakes. It serves 2 btw!

yep, frozen is fine! fresh ones hold themselves together better and have a better flavour but frozen is what we use too in the off season. have you got room for some bushes? we have 4 blueberry bushes, but have a pretty large edible garden. they haven't produced so well for the last two years but i think it might be all the moving around we've done as before that we'd had them probably about 6-7 years and they have been prolific every year. either that or they're feeling a bit root bound... should probably plan them out now but haven't got around to it.
just like frozen fruit is great in say muffins - frozen apples and fresh cranberries.... yum! and then you can put in just a fraction of the sugar (as well as).

Damn you mother leaving Maltesers here for the kidsI have no self control although I have only had one little handful not the whole pack!
Did my day 1 of 30 day shred yesterday and my arm is sore so I think I will do it again tonight minus weights and push ups. I WILL do it tonight once kids go to bed though!
How is everyone else travelling today - cold, wet, windy and Earthquakey here in old Melbourne town - allI want to do is stay on this couch and stay warm! Awful weather.

well, again i was too scared to weigh in as i feel im not in for any losses....will do it tomorrow. although i feel i had a bad day today food wise. well....im thinking of getting that 30 day shred dvd, tanstar...sounds interesting, is it really hard!? easy to follow....are they really cheesy, i hate cheesy work out vids...need the motivation and guidance to do some effective hardcore workouts! mmm, tommorow starts a new food week....

hmm. know the feeling of no self control... had a sliver of banana cake and then had pasta with my dinner instead of without... it didn't even add anything to the dish! was just needless crap taking up room on my plate and now some of it in my tum, on my hips, bum, thighs, bat wings etc. damn it! and now just feel depressed and guilty.
i looked up the 30 day shred thing and thought it looked quite like what i do in pilates except with weights and no rolling lol. tanstar maybe try without weights or substitute the weights for a can of beans in each hand cos you don't want to get all biceppy, just toned. that's what my pilates book by lesley ackland said... she said nothing over 1 kg each (pref less). i do a pilates class once a week and try to do a pilates workout several times a week on the days i don't go for a walk, or on days like today that i only went for a short walk (and ate terrible needless processed carbs...).
lol apparently we had an earthquake here but i didn't notice... i hate them anyway. they are just too scary. i can't even think what it would be like in christchurch.
just adding in that i measured my waist this morning (may have since severely damaged this but hey) and happy happy! was 80.5cm (with the whole breathe in thing... does everyone do that?) down from 83! woohoo!

Nah it's not cheesy at all, based on muscle confusion - 3 rounds of a circuit with cardio, strength and abs. I like it because it is fast and she pushes you hard - like if you want a break take no more than 5 seconds, and if you feel like you are going to die that's ok because you need to work hard to get good results. She is tough but it's good. I am super sore still today so will yoga it up tonight I think and back to it tomorrow. Livvy - yay for your measurement!!

Livvy - way to go with the waist measurement - that's awsome. I don't get the breathe in thing tho? i just measure mine while I'm standing still normally IYKWIM.
AFM so frickin' cold today I haven't done a thing. Off to try a new zumba DVD. I so so so so so SO don't feel like doing anything. Shall report back to prove i'm honest cos nothing else will make me do this otherwise lol!
EDIT: 40 mins of new zumba DVD done (but it just got annoying cos I'm unco) so finished with 20 mins on the bike. YAH!
