Had a really busy week. Got in 1 bootcamp and a couple stretching days. Weight is steady. Feeling pretty tired this week. How was your week?

Pretty good - got in a few workouts and hikes despite a really tough allergy season (cedar fever).

Have cut 500 calories a day and lost about 3 pounds so far. Just doing the usual walking, treadmill, and yogalates with planks about every other day so I don't kill myself!

Steady week here except still in holiday mode - which means more wine than usual. Boys back at school today so no more excuses.

I don't weigh but wondering if that would make me more accountable....

Two hard gym sessions, two long walks, lots of incidental outdoor activity...

I'm trying to work in more cardio to be in better shape & hopefully whittle my waistline a little.

Not so good here. Got a new workout programme at the gym, which is good - pretty cut back with less weight and more concentration on getting form right, Have done once with the PT and did a bit on my own today. Walked 5km parkrun on sat with my daughters.

I am going to go to a physio on Thurs and hope that they'll give me the ok to start cycling to work and running again (I've had a knee issue) I feel like I've been doing vastly less exercise lately - but am still feeling pretty tired. Have put myself back on iron tablets.

The PT also suggested I keep a food diary for 2 weeks and he'd look at it. You'd think that would restrain me but sadly I've had a terrible time with overeating, PMT eating, stress eating, I want-to-bake eating etc etc!! Not surprisingly my weight is up a bit.

Hopeful for better things soon.

Two weeks post-vacation and I still can't hide the evidence of all the delicious yummies I consumed. Truffle pasta, so worth it.

I'm now back to my regularly scheduled workouts, having changed programs. Rather than focusing on heavy singles, I now do high-volume workouts, and more assistance work. It's tiring, but more gratifying.

Yesterday's workout involved:
10 triples of deadlifts @ 185, 60sec rest;
Squat triples @ 115lb, 135lb, 150lb;
3 Breathing squat triples @ 115lb (you exhale and inhale slowly at the bottom of the squat);
3 Sets of 15 Romanian deadlifts at 145lbs;
3 Sets of 10 leg presses @ 180lbs;
and 3 pull-ups.

I put off posting. Not a great week--sore muscles from overdoing it earlier. Up and down the same two pounds. Did something to my knee--this is the one that gives me trouble if I'm not careful. I have been keeping my food diary.

Warm weather and no predicted for later this week, so I'm going to work on getting some laps at the park across the street--walking that is. I've been sitting way too much lately.

I put off posting as well. I broke my baby toe last week. Walking and standing is painfull. I have been using my exercise bike but have not done any weights this week. My weight is slightly down .8 of lb.

Last week was not the best. PMS and a cold meant I was feeling generally crummy and not up for exercising (which is dumb, because it usually makes me feel better). But will do better this week!

I'm up to 4 to 5 times of yoga a week. 75 minute classes. LOVE it. Great classes with a ballerina too. Tough. SOOO good for my arms and wrists. Excellent for my head and heart.

We eat very well at the Cox Castle because nutrition, cooking, grocery shopping and food are a great passion of mine. The only time we are not as nutritious as I like to be is when we go on holiday, and in Dec when the stollen takes over.

Go Angie! Yoga is great, isn't it? My DH, my DD and I do 3 classes a week, an hour each class, but I want to do more. You're right that it's tough, though.

I just found this off topic part of the forum. I have joined weightwatchers since first starting to post again a month ago and have lost 4 kilos. I've got 11 to go. It's not hard until I go to a party or BBQ...mainly eating lots of fruit and veges. I live next to a park and try to do two laps a day which is about 5 -6 kms.
