Sue, you love green tea… stop pretending Re: Ella on your back whilst planking (also a word)… if you let your core muscles ‘go’, then bad. If you pulled your belly button through to spine & pelvic floor up for all you were worth, AND breathed deep, then all good. Now go eat an avocado & then plank some more.

arrgh Wendy you made me sound really virtuous. I’m always out drinking coffee, usually lattes as sadly it’s just not the same if black or, worse, herbal tea. I was just being mindlessly bitchy and self critical of myself more than all those others. If you’re not keen, like Wendy, it is really hard to get motivated and the only way I can get motivated is to think it’s not going to last very long.
Incidentally, you also don’t get fat eating avocados – no really, it turned my world upside down.
PS Ella sat on my bum whilst I ‘planked’ yesterday – good or bad for the spine…? Seemed to work muscles better! And yes, I said planked.

Hi Harriet, You’d have to eat an awful lot… Sue is a rebel (most of us women are) so believe me, she’s tried, just to prove me wrong. And if you did manage to overindulge at least you’d be an extremely HEALTHY fat brazil nut-eater! Complete protein, antioxidants, zinc for your metabolism (which of course means you can eat even more…)

Are you sure no one ever got fat eating Brazil nuts? I could eat a lot of them!
But yes you are right less coffee more sit ups…. not quite so much fun though
