SINFIN STARS

Hi Everybody

Another week of classes has passed already, how time flies!! I have managed to keep up my exercise, my heel has been on and off, so I have taken back to the bike! I stayed the same this week, I am a little surprised, but you never can tell what the scales are going to say!!

The important news this week is that the Sinfin class lost an incredible 10lbs between them. Everybody had really tried hard to increase their activity levels and what is so great is everyone encourages each other, there is a real sense of teamwork there.

As promised I have written the recipe for the delicious Chocolate and Banana slice, so I hope you have a go at baking it!!

WELCOME SINFIN !

HELLO TEAM MATES !

We welcomed Sinfin this week, it was fab!! The class all worked really hard in the exercise section and looked a little red at the end!! I managed to do all of the Toton class for the first time at last! I think my heel is on the mend......great!!! I lost an important 2lbs this week, I feel I have turned a corner now, I do actually feel I little bit lighter, it's a good feeling.

I made a lovely fresh tasting and zesty , manderin bread pudding at only 100 calories a ramekin dish, it's a great value treat.

At the first Sinfin class some ladies were quite upset with their measurements, but the good thing is that they have made the hardest step by coming to class and literally faced the music. They all will ,of course, go onwards to success from this point.... so well done, you have been very brave!!

We are going to look at a venue in Mackworth for our next class, so if anybody has contacts, me and Rach would be grateful if you could let us know.

Well enjoy the rest of the week-end, we look forward to seeing you at class in the week.

SUCCESSFUL WEEK

Hi There!

Hope you are having a good week and enjoying the sunshine they promised us at last!! Good news; this week our greatest loser has lost 9lbs in three weeks. Our loser reported that she had made some changes been increasing water intake, increased exercise, but still stuck to the frosties for breakfast, I may of convinced her to try Weetabix this week...... we''ll see!! The Toton class are doing very well... and they all did their homework this week, I was very impressed, well done everyone! I joined in the exercise as well at Mickleover and Toton, my achilles heel seems to be on the mend, Rach... you can go off people you know, making me work that hard, I have achie bits today, I know, I know, you think that's good, I have found bits I have forgotten that I had. OK!! The Sinfin class starts on Monday at the Sinfin Enterprise Community Centre (see 25th May below for details) We have had 10 enquiries so far, so we are hoping to have a vibrant and atmospheric session! Look forward to meeting you next week, bye for now Vicki and Rach xx
