Apparently it is an excuse to clear the cupboards of all goodies before fasting for lent

PMSL!! so you should!

Tis a religious thing then? Just wondered coz i wonder how many people realise it it not just a "pancake day"  but has a religeous background? ( soz for any spellink mistakes)

See what you did! I just made and wolfed a hundredweight of PeppaPig pancakes! ( never ever made pancakes before either )

Slinki, did you toss them?  I tossed *puffs chest out proudly*

Summer, I was so ashamed after gorging myself on 1/2 a pancake I had to weigh myself, it was good news, but I'm back strictly back on the leaves today.  After I had eaten the pancake, Mr C even asked me if I was going to go and make myself sick as he knows how strict I am being 

Cinds, I wouldn't worry, I'm on a diet too and I ate 4 1/2 with various sugary fillings

*faints*

Good luck with the dieting Saz 

I think I'm gonna need it Going swimming tonight though

Excellent, I've been doing loads of swimming, I go 3 or 4 times a week.  

We had converted our garage a couple of years ago to a home office, but I've since moved back to our factory offices, so we're putting a treadmill and rowing machine in there so we can exercise in the comfort of our own home.  Hopefully, when the weather improves I'll find the enthusiasm in me to start cycling to work again too.  I'm determined to be in shape for my forties. 

Initially I thought it was something to do with the Jews.  They were fleeing somewhere, set up camp for the night and all they could make out of what they had was leavened bread?  But I'm thinking that must be Old Testament and Lent and Easter is in the New Testament...so maybe it's something to do with filling up before the 40 days and 40 nights of fasting that Lent brings?

  I made Peppa Pig pancakes too

pfft, you're in shape already -mentalist 3-4 times is impressive though, I'm going 1-2 and to the gym once, oh and yoga on a Friday lunch time. I'm loving yoga... it's exercising muscles I didn't know I had

Honestly I wasn't.  I'd put *coughs* a few pounds on, but they've all gone plus a few extra.  I'll be happy if I can lose at least another 10lbs.  I might give yoga a look.  I quite fancy giving Zumba a go to, it looks like fun.

*realises that pancake thread has been hijacked by diet and fitness*

(Disclaimer: I will be eating pancakes whilst partaking in all of the above activities)

It's ok Cinds, I have the pancake consumption covered I can talk fillings if it looks like we're too OT

My brother's gf does Zumba, she seems to be really enjoying it - no classes at my gym 10lbs is a good target, when are you aiming for? I want to lose about 4-6, but they're stubborn

Next week 


Not really, maybe another month or so.  As long as it's gone by August, I'll be happy.

I do yoga, I loooooove it!

I'm rubbish at the balance things - can do most of the stretchy things no problem, but anything involving standing on one leg

I was wondering last night, do people have pancakes as their dinner... or have their usual dinner then pancakes afterwards? Cos some people said they had 2 and I felt like a right porker

Saz, I went to go swimming last night, when I go there the pool was empty.  Just glad I noticed before I did an elegant dive in 

Whaaa? Did no one tell you/no signs?

Well it's one of those places where you've paid a membership so just wander in.  

(I had really noticed no water in the pool before I even got to the changing rooms, but I liked the mental image of me diving in to an empty pool)

I'm disappointed... I was imagining you in your cossie at the side of an empty pool looking all forlorn

I did, yep.. mostly onto  the floor though

Hello there   How the hell are ya?

Not so much a flounce, more of a bored sigh and quick click of the deactivate button. 

Hope you're OK?
