    It's nice to have someone posting on this board!

    It's pretty cold in Christchurch today, but at least it's not so windy and it's fine.

    @nicnz I can't even contemplate going to a fitness class let alone teaching one. Good on you for getting to that stage!

    @caj45 Congratulations on making so many changes. My stress levels have gone down too since I've been on track and exercising.

    @malika1976 - thanks :-) First class is out of the way now.. onwards & upwards!
    Only a couple days to go until #JunkFreeJune .... anyone taking part? It's gonna be a hell of a challenge to stick to it all month.. biscuits/muffins etc will be missed, going to have to look for alternatives for my sweet treats.

    I hadn't heard of it but would be keen to give it a go. Might be a way to communicate that I don't want to eat junk food. At the moment refusing food at work is awkward.

    @traceymarie1987 ... Flu/colds are awful, glad you are recovering =)

    Day 4 of #junkfreejune, so far so good - not had a single biscuit or muffin yet. This is kinda good timing as i discovered put on a couple kg over last few months :worried:

    Feeling rather tired today, hopefully will survive teaching class tonight ;)

    Know the feeling! - yoghurt usually works for me as something sweet after dinner, but it's so easy to go through a 500g/1L container in a very short frame of time

    oh gosh I know the feeling of going through yoghurt like nobodys business! and omg have you tried the puhoi valley yoghurt range? #DROOL! I usually make my own yoghurt I brought some greek flavors today and a plain 1 litre greek yoghurt but fresh and fruity only because it was on special for $2 lol. Making it I tell myself is the healthier alternative Im not entirely sure of this but it does seem to have less sugar than my fav. Puhoi valley yoghurt lol.
    Good luck with the junk free july that's an awesome thing your doing there. If u get major biscuit cravings would you consider a protein cookie to be a healthy alternative? you buy them from the supplememts section in the supermarket if youd do them for july. :)
    Anywho cheeking in today I am also tired lets blame this one on winter yea haha!. Legs and most my body are super stiff from circuit training the past two days keep in mind until two days ago I was a circuit training virg. Hence y im prob stiff not done many steps on fit bit yet I might have to hit the gym later tonight and go for a run? Super stiff legs though even walkings abit of a mish. Im sure I'll figure it out

    Oh yes, i have tried the puhoi valley yoghurt range. A bit too creamy to eat lots at once (probably a good thing!), but is very delish, as I'm so used to either lite greek style or unsweetened.
