Hi all. I had a really busy week at work so exercise wasn't great. Eating was good. Weight held steady.

How was your week?

Shedev, good job. Busyness can be a real spanner in the goal to keep healthy.

I am progressing well. Still no commitment to walk as the weather is so awful here (hot, humid) but food going really well. Down approx. 6 kg now and starting to see and feel the difference.

Busy time with MIL not the best, DS about to go on school camp (im going too) so trying to make sure I am looking after myself too.

I did moderately well on eating healthy and swam several times. I'm feeling good but hope to get more swimming in. Winter storm put a damper on things. I think I can make even more progress on healthier eating -- but again, I'm feeling good about maintaining. Weight is steady. I thought swimming 4-5 days a week since Jan 7 (except for 1 week) that I would have shed a few pounds...but not the case. A little bummed but okay with it.

Sounds like a steady week for all.

I had a big exercise week last week...with four very hard gym sessions and one walk and a bike ride, but was not as disciplined in the food area as I had been. Trying to be more consistent here.

Not such a great week results wise for me either, after a big starting loss last week - in fact I am up nearly a pound.

I have a few lapses from my no dairy and sugar, but overall intake is pretty low. I am looking forward to eating dairy again after this self imposed month is up - I haven't felt any better for cutting it out and I miss it.

I have decided I need to cut out rice cakes and snacks. I have also learnt that I am inclined to eat worse lunches on my (very busy) MOTG days than when I pack them for work.

Excercise wise I acheived my goals - one spin class, 3 jog/walk sessions and a pump class. Plus a bonus half of a body balance class. I think I am getting less tired from the increased exercise..

I'm in my usual range--maybe a little on the higher end of normal. I'm sans fosters for a few days so maybe I can get back on track! Good luck to everyone!

I am continuing to do well with my Yoga practice. I am going 6 times a week. Love the studio near where we are staying in Florida. Not walking enough though because doggie does not want to walk here. Have to figure something out.

Eating is fine. So much easier to eat fresh fruit and vegetables here than in the frozen north.

Good week until the weekend, with exercising on schedule, but sitting too much. Didn't eat that much, but it was what I ate--red meat, white carbs and salt. Anyway, I'm back on track for this week.

I am retired my pair of larger size denim trousers bought in a panic last year. Thank goodness for yoga pants to wear at home.

Other than breaking my ankle on my third day of skiing, last week was great! LOL

Today I had a session with Trainer Dave and since I won't be able to do the group exercise classes for the next six weeks, and tap class is also off the table, I'll be doing three sessions a week with Trainer Dave until Das Boot comes off. Hopefully that will keep me from going totally to pot while I heal up. And I'll need to keep a close eye on my eating to make up for the reduced activity.

I've finally hit my groove with eating I think - at first reducing it to a reasonable amount was hard. Then I went overboard and sent my body in to starvation mode. Now I think I've hit my pace, and am steadily losing. 12 pounds left of the original 27 I'd like to lose (I'm 15 pounds down from Jan 1).

I'm starting to add strength training in to my day, and still aiming for a half hour of actual "exercise". But playing with the idea of sneaking in strength more slyly. This week I'm trying out the idea of doing 15 push ups on the bathroom sink every time I use the restroom. So far, I'm only remembering 50% of the time, but it's still more push ups than I used to do in a given day, so it's a partial win.

Great job on the food, Deb.

AM, you are building muscle by swimming.

Kiwigal, great job on the exercise.

Anne, can you pack a lunch on your stay at home days?

Kellygirl, good luck to you too.'s

Staysfit, I'm glad you love the yoga studio.

Ms.Maven, yeah for throwing out the big pants.

MsMary, oh no, so sorry about your ankle.

Amiable, great way to sneak in exercise.

Last week was great, I went to the gym twice, dog walked at kennels (so at least 4 20 minute walks each visit) 5 days and spent a day decorating. This week however is not looking so good. I've got an ear infection so not feeling up to exercise, can't even face walking to work. Am also on antibiotics for the ear and I can't stop eating!! Today I had breakfast and lunch as normal then it went fast downhill from there. The girl I work with bought me in some Snaps http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smiths.....B004OW2CZG because she knows I love them and aren't feeling well, so I polished them off during my break plus a piece of fruit cake from the charity cake box in the staff room, then an apple. Got home and ate my tea followed by a cream eclair and a bag of crisps!! And I'm just contemplating some weetabix if I can drag myself out of bed!! X
