    Woo Friday!
    I have to say I've been very bad this week with my exercise (Food has been pretty good!). I haven't been able to make it to the gym, and getting up in the morning is almost impossible due to the fact I'm always exhausted. When I say exhausted it's not just I can't be bothered to get out of bed, its a thing of getting up and then almost falling asleep over breakfast! That said I have done half an hours walking at lunch time, which is better than sitting and stuffing my face with vending machine treats!
    I am away for a few days over the weekend. Taken some time off work and getting out of town for a few days as my boyfriend and I have both had stressful few weeks at work and needs to get away from it all! So a few treats are in order, but lots of walking in order. I am hoping I will come back refreshed and ready to go again.

    Well, I of course was not so good this weekend but had a good time. I probably didn't eat as bad and drink as much as past camping weekends but I still was bad. We did some walking and bike riding around the campground but I know it wasn't nearly enough.
    I'm starting the 2nd phase of ChaLEAN Extreme today. It focuses more on less reps with heavier weights, I think I will like that.

    Have a good day everyone!

    I don't have kids so that makes it easier to find the time. I should never have any excuses for not exercising when I see all of you with kids or just a lot more going on fitting it in.

    Hello everyone.
    Back from my break and yes I did put on a bit of weight. I am surprised as I thought it would be more. I ate a serious amount of bad food. That said we did do a fair bit of walking.
    My favorite thing having more for breakfast than just weetabix. I had white toast and butter! I've not had white toast in an age, so I definitely appreciated it.
    After 2 days of eating whatever we wanted (and yes it was mostly rubbish - cheesy chips, curry etc) I have to admit we both felt greasy and we did not want to eat like that anymore.
    So the healthy eating I think is defiantly embedded into our system now.

    morning very happy hump day

    140days logging today woohoo i might not be losing the weight but im not quitting either thats a huge step for me

    cdpm we all gain when we go away its because we relax and eat all the stuff we usually avoid its part of what going away is taking a break from everything i definately wont be eating healthy when i go away in 4 weeks and 5 days not that im counting or anything lol its a hotel breakfast so toasts butter marmelades/jams and then cooked meal so whole yards except the meat and restaurants every night im there italian indian and chinese over the 3 days as well as any junk we see and eat in the day i may end up back at my starting weight but it will have been sooo worth it lol

    Great job Bjshooter!

    Monkeysmum, I think we live a little too far from each other for you to loan your kids out to me lol.

    I'm feeling good today. I think all the excess bloat from the weekend is finally off. I got in a good TurboFire workout last night with a good calorie burn. I also signed up to be a Beach Body coach so I'm hoping it will help be stay on track by motivating others and them motivating me. If any of you are members of teambeachbody.com, look for me so we can be buddies. My screen name is littlefieldsy.

    So far I've eaten pretty good this week, just gotta keep it up!

    nelski you may be right im not sure child services agree with airmailing kids they may think its slightly cruel lol i am hoping once i get back into the school run routine i can start to fit workouts in again at the minute ive all on staying awake its tiring me out trying to fit in school stuff and house stuff and life i need more hours in the day or maybe and extra day in the week

    Good morning. Yayyy for Friday!
    I'm down a pound so that's a good start. :)

    This weekend plans are: visit friends to meet their new baby tonight, farmers market tomorrow morning, going out to dinner tomorrow night. I have workouts scheduled for after work today and some time tomorrow too. Other than that I think I just need to get some cleaning done and grocery shopping. It's supposed to be rainy for a couple days so looks like no outdoor fun.

    Ergh! Today I'm not feeling great. I have had a good day at work and have been watching what I've been eating, but I have felt fat and bloated and sluggish all day which has put a massive dampener on my motivation. So tonight I have decided to get into comfy clothes and with a cheeky end of week glass of wine, get on the job hunt. I have managed to find the 'perfect' job, it's quite frustrating trying to apply to it without my other half at home to give it a check over for any spelling or silly grammar mistakes!
    Back on topic, I am hoping that I will be feeling less bloated and fat tomorrow so that I can get stuck into the gym again. I've had a break for too long and I don't want to extend that break any longer!!

    This weekend is shaping up to be a 'sort your life out' weekend. I am still working on my CV as I want to nail this job application. I also received in the post today my mum's used copy of Womens fitness (She buys them, reads them, passes it around at work, then posts it to me!). This issue seems to address all the problems I'm currently having my weight loss, so it's been a mega boost of confidence.
    That combined with the fact my parents are visiting for a week next week and I haven't actually lost any weight or inches since I last saw them, I need to do everything I can this week to get my bum in gear again! I'm not hoping to lose a drastic amount, just use their visit as an incentive to get going again.
