Yeah, I've had a look. I think digestives are pretty close, although they look a little thicker. So do you sandwich up the marshmallows and some chocolate, wrap it in foil and put it in the coals? ......... I can't believe I'm looking forward to something that in reality, I'll probably have one bite of!

I have a mate who gets fantastic results using TRX. I've been thinking about getting a set for when I can't get to the gym (ie because of shift work, or the kids schedule). I think you can't go wrong with anything using your own body weight in resistance training. Having said that, finding something you enjoy so you'll keep doing it is the key.

I have a tablespoon or two of brown rice with some stuff. I could go with out it, but I like the texture difference with some of the stuff I have it with.

Thanks Kelli. You too. Have a great Easter everyone. First Easter in a long time I won't have a tummy ache from chocolate overdose!!

Teaching, a bit like law enforcement, is often a thankless job. I'm on the board of my kids school and there always seems to be something new we're expecting of them. I think teachers do a terrific job. I had a career change a lot of years ago. I worked for a bank and wanted to check out of the corporate lifestyle, for a number of reasons. Primary school teaching was on my short list. I hope things get easier at work. I'm sure they will as soon as you get your energy back, the national curriculum gets sorted out and we find a cure for helicopter parents!

There are a lot of fantastic, supportive people on this forum. It makes me feel good coming here. Thanks - I might just take you up on that!

You look great. Obviously can't wipe that well earned smile off your face either!

I don't think anything is set in stone. Mind you, if your getting 30 grams at every meal I think everyone would be happy

I think I had a soda at around 2 months. I had it out of a glass (ie not out of a bottle or a can) so it wasn't as gassy. You can't really have that much and you have to drink it slow. My Dr was fine with it, but I'd follow what ever your Dr recommends. That's what you pay them the big bucks for!

You're a machine Fiddleman. I don't know how you fit it all in! Lots of good looking girls do yoga. Maybe I'll have to have another look at my schedule ...............

I agree with Mark. 30gms in one sitting was bandied about for ages, but not everyone agrees now. One thing I would try and do is spread your Protein. So don't have 100% of your protein requirements for the day in one meal and think your done. You should try and have a protein focus at every meal. That way your body will be utilising it all day, especially if it's coming from food.

I found that my tastes changed and kept changing early on. I'd recommend not buying too much of any particular type of anything. Early on the flavour or texture might put you off. So I'd say get a good variety of liquids that you might like. Once you know what you like you can always stock up. Good luck! Deano

You guys have me googling for an Australian substitute for grahams crackers for our camping trip. Consider yourselves enablers. I hope you're happy.

YOU'VE DONE AMAZINGLY WELL, SHAKE IT OFF AND KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!!

Now do me! Now do me!

Sometimes I think we're reading from the same page of the same book! OP I think it's ok to have a feeling of mourning about this. We've all had friendships / relationships that were bad for us and we knew we had to end it. Doesn't mean that we don't at times miss that person, and mourn the end of the relationship. You haven't made a huge mistake. Soon you'll realise that the pros certainly outweigh the cons! Deano

Good work! Deano

Cant get them here. Just bought 3 bottles of sweet tea on ebay from over there.

Mind you, we're now making s'mores on this trip ........

I suppose you could substitute the sultana's with peanut butter cups

That looks gross!! I think that's an English thing, canned d**k. Spotted d**k here is damper with sultana's. It's awesome. I make this recipe and add sultana's. We either cook it in a camp oven or the kids cover the end of a stick with the batter and cook it over a camp fire. It makes a little cup that they fill with butter and golden syrup. It's pretty good!

We usually have spotted d**k when we're camping .........

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S'more Sounds fantastic .......... but you have a national day for them????

Better or worse than Peanut Butter cups??? NB - this thread has been hijacked deliberately because it needed it badly
