Hi Little Ski,
What are pump classes? And what were you doing on a kids motorbike?

Karen,
I'm sure you can stick at the dieting, you've come such a long way already, and I bet you're enjoying being able to wear your 'smaller' clothes :D

I'm looking forward to the photo in 6 months time.

Ally, YOU don't HAVE to respond to every single post you know..... :roll:

Don't worry Tony, you will have a week's holiday from me soon when I'm ski-ing :D :D :D

Karen,
Losing all that weight is quite an achievement - well done :thumbup:

I think 1 Lb a week is quite a sensible amount to lose. When I'm really concentrating on dieting I can lose 2 Lbs a week, but it is very hard work, and I don't think I could do it for long. If you've got a lot of weight to lose I think it's better to only lose a small amount each week, and keep going, like you've done.

I find it very interesting reading about what we all eat, and I suppose it is part of getting fit for ski-ing, so it's not totally off the subject. This is what I generally eat:

Muesli for breakfast
Lunch and tea are both the same - 2 slices of toasted wholemeal bread made into a jaw breaking sandwich with philadelphia cheese and masses of salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, green peppers, spinage or whatever I have in my salad drawer in my fridge)
Supper is wholemeal pasta with veg, or brown rice/basmati rice with veg, jacket potato with veg, vegetable stew with lentils etc. And sometimes I vary it a bit with omelette etc. For pudding I usually have tinned fruit and yoghurt. And my husband gets ham, chicken, corned beef, fish etc. as well.

And I take multivitamins and minerals to make sure I get enough iron etc.

What makes me fat is going totally off the rails and eating cake, crisps, chocolate, a whole bag of pistachio nuts or bombay mix or something like that in addition to the healthy food I always eat.

So at least I know how to lose weight - I just have to cut out all the rubbish (easier said than done though). And, being tea-total, I don't have to worry about how many calories are in a glass of wine, or a pint of beer :D

Karen,
I've just bought some anti-fog lens cleaner in our local sports shop and it only cost a couple of quid. I will let you know how I got on with it when I get back.

factual wrote:Wow, can those times be right for this journey? I didn't realise that was possible, and a reasonably low price. It even makes Turin a reasonable ski airport for The 3 Valleys & Northern Alps - I hadn't assumed anything like that. Is that the high speed Paris train from Oulx? Does it have Chambery as a stop or is there a change?

Factual,
Type it in yourself on Raileurope.co.uk and see what comes up. That's what I got. I assume it's correct. You can also phone them to enquire. I haven't actually done this journey myself, but I've planned and booked several of my French train journeys using their website and so far all has gone like clockwork :D :D :D

Dave Mac,
I quite agree with you :D

Someone, give Trencher one star immediately :evil: :D

Actually Trencher, I find as long as I eat the same sort of food all the time I don't suffer from that particular problem :D

However, I have a real weakness for dried apricots, and I can eat a whole bagfull at a time, and if I do that, well .... watch out :shock:

It's amazing how fast the room will empty, even it was full of people :lol:

Ally

Far Queue,
Daft Vader is a good nickname. I like that :D

Thanks for the reassurance re wearing a helmet, as I will be trying mine out very soon. Maybe I should see if I could get a side mirror attached to it so that I can see any out of control skiers/boarders coming up behind me before they wipe me out :lol:

Back to getting fit for ski-ing - I only have 4 days left to diet and get fit :shock:

Ally

Now is the time to stop the diet and fitness regime. Eat properly and rest your body before you depart :D

Thanks Bandit,
I will have 2 days on the train to rest (and hog!) :D :D :D

Just as well my cheap new salopettes have elastic side pieces in the waist :lol:
