    QOTD: I am going to plan all my meals to help me stick to my calorie allowance. I will walk to work and back three times a week and drink plenty of water.

    The candy is a temptation. I think I ate more of my son candy than he did.

    @ Monday's QOTD: I hope to change up my workouts a little bit...the past few weeks, I haven't gone to the gym (mainly worked out at home), so I am going to try incorporating the gym back into my workouts at least once a week...

    However, the next few weeks will be difficult as I am going to Ireland 5/12-5/19.... :D But, I will try to be on my best eating behavior while I am over there...

    This is the thread that got me started. On my "Low Days" I make sure that I Net between 1200 and 1300 on my "High Days" I Net between 1500 and 1600. Look it up on the threads, there are websites that will calculate how much you should be Netting.

    Question of the Day: What is your favorite fitness activity? Mine is dancing. Any kind. I am trying to get into Zumba, it is a little difficult, but I love to dance.

    Monday's question.... Limit eating crap and logging on the weekends...

    Tuesday's question..... My favorite activity is the elliptical watching a movie and listening to my ipod. The time just flies by. When my niece is in town running behind her is an exciting workout, lol.

    Question of the Day: What is your favorite fitness activity?

    I like to use the elliptical, but I don't have one. I really like my Dreadmill when I'm on it, but for some reason I have the hardest time talking myself onto it. I've always been a walker (treadmill), but I'm trying to work into running.

    QOTD Tuesday: I'd have to say my treadmill. Once I start it's hard for me to stop.

    My favorite activity is riding my bike. I have a trailer that my daughter can ride in that I pull behind my bike. Good workout, especially going up hills!

    My favorite fitness activity is anything cardio (elliptical, step classes, running, speed walking, stationary bike)! I love to sweat because the more I sweat the more motivated I get... :-)

    @Question of the Day response: I work long shifts from 7.30am to 6pm five days a week so I am tired and often lack motivation when getting home to do any activity other than eat and chill, so since starting DITR I have made a conscious step to start off going for at least one long walk (60mins+) a week just to kick start things and try to build up.

    Go ALL Diamonds we can so do it =)

    Tues QOTD - My favourite activity is pilates....it does not aggravate my knee (arthritis), it makes me feel so strong afterwards and I find it very "mind cleansing" - if that makes sense. My next favourite would be walking and biking with my family.

    How exciting! Have a blast! I found when I was on vacation I ate more than my than my daily goal (not a horrible amount though) and still loss due to all the walking and extra activity.

    Tuesday QOTD: I really enjoy using the resistance training machines at my gym. I was intimidated at first but now love when I get strong enough to add weight. And as the fat melts I away I am starting to see and feel muscles under there. Love it!
