    Oh. Confession time. The scale was down 1 this morning (it was legitimate, I didn't have to reset the scale again!). I was very happy as I haven't seen 147 in many, many years. So I then proceeded to eat multiple cookies this afternoon, and had ice cream with the fam after my son's soccer game. So now, why do I do this to myself? I knew I shouldn't eat the cookies, and I kept going back and getting more. And after the cookie debacle, why did I still eat the ice cream??? No wonder the scale laughs at me.

    Hmmm not expecting Monday's weigh in to be anything too great- I have had a very naughty week as it was my wedding anniversary on Monday. Mon & Tues I ate LOADS as in 2000-3000 cals each day and minimal exercise. Then the last two days I have probably eaten maintenance- parents visited today and brought food. It has been a four day food fest basically!

    However I am back in the game as of tomorrow so hoping the damage won't be too great come Monday- who knows :(

    I'm a pretty versatile eater already, in fact I just had my first pluot (a combination plum and apricot). Any suggestions on an unusual food to try?

    I'm still doing c25k and I also picked up biking. I used to bike up and down the road all the time when I was a kid, but never for exercise. I went around the circle of our neighborhood and cycled about 3 miles. I think I've found my new fav exercise :)

    I tied Roti (an Indian flatbread). You use is as a wrap to eat assorted veggies and meats. I also learned how to do globe jumps. Bassically a deep squat jump that you do 4 of to create a circle

    New food - Well I did have lemon Sole at Friends Hen Night and never eaten that before so guess it's new (never had white chocolate cheesecake before either but I guess that wasn't the ideal )

    New Exercise: My friend has moved to Caerphilly to live no matter which way I walk with dog I end up having to go up a mountain, so I guess you can add hill walking to my exercise. Got lost the other day in pouring rain and was out for nearly 2 hrs trying to find my way back up the mountain through the woods ;o(

    What is your goal?

    I am aiming for 152-151 but the rate I'm going I don't think it's realistic. I just weighed in and I've put on! arrrrrrrrgh! Hoping this coming week is a lot better!

    Damn! I was so hoping to get to my first goal of 147. Only had one day over my calories and doing 30 Day Shred every day. Maybe I shouldn't have increased my calories from 1200 to 1300 or maybe it's muscle.

    Only a 1lb this week - I'm tempted to blame TOM, but I'm not sure how it actually affects me (other than feeling bloated and crampy etc) as I haven't been logging for long enough.

    Hope everyones had a good week.

    I am happy I didnt gain, but a little bummed i didn't lose anything!

    as for the challenge:
    Firstly, try a new food or one that you think you hate.
    I tried fish this week, really thought i'd hate it, but i really liked it. i made parmesan crusted tilapia and it wasn't too "fishy" as I feared!
    Secondly, try a new kind of exercise or one that you think you hate.
    I have been wanting to try C25K, but am afraid to even try it and think I will hate it...maybe this is the motivation I need to attempt it and get rid of those last few pounds to make my goal!!
