    I need more of a quality sleep and more hours of it.
    My goal is no electronic devices 60 min before bed Monday - Friday this week:)
    This is going to be hard for me

    I like the no electronic devices idea. I might try that myself. My mini challenge (this week and for the forseeable) is to get to the gym at least 3 times a week. I have only just joined a brand new gym that opens tomorrow. I haven't been a gym member for some 6 or 7 years so I am a little nervous, as well as a little excited to get back into it!
    I had a tour around it on Thursday and some of the equipment is a little scary looking, but it's all top of the range stuff and the geek in me can't wait to give it all a go :)

    Great idea - I am off work until the 19th. And a little slow at getting started on this. I have a to do list of things that need to get done. A bathroom to paint, doors to paint, carrots and parsnips to dig....

    BUT ... I want to get 10,000 steps each day. I am not going to say, 10,000 steps for 5 or 6 or whatever # of days, because then I will wait to the end of my days off to get the steps in... so.... that is why I am aiming for 10,000 steps everyday. So before I get started on the day ... out the door and down the road with my wrist weights on and my faithful dog by my side!!

    Have a good week everyone!!

    Just devised a new exercise plan - 2 x step classes per week, 2 x 30 minute (new) exercise DVD, 1 x 45 minute (older) exercise DVD and 1 x 1 hour dancing. If I can keep this up I should mitigate the occasional over-runs on calories.

    I managed my goal of 3 visits to the gym, even though my old body ached and complained after the first two visits. (Think I need to do more stretches) So fingers crossed for more weight loss when I weigh in tomorrow.
