    I'm doing a balanced carb, protein and lots of veggies meal plan. You have a small portion of carbohydrate for breakfast and lunch (e.g. 1 slice of toast, 1 pitta bread, 3 small potatoes), along with a portion of protein (e.g. lean chicken, turkey - size of your fist or palm open flat, or one egg - boiled/poached/omelette) and then as much vegetables as you like. Sounds mad but it's really difficult to each too many vegetables (steamed/raw/stir-fry in spray oil). Even if you eat like a whole broccoli and some onions and carrots, it's about 150/200 calories which is nothing compared to a piece of cake or 3 (yes, just THREE) biscuits. Then for dinner, the same proportions but I try to avoid the carbs if possible. Usually I can't, as I love carbs, but I think the portion control helps anyway as I am a carb monster otherwise. For fruit, I will have one or two pieces a day. Not too much as the fruit I like is pretty high in sugar (mangos, pineapple).

    Goal for the week is to stick to the food plan!

    My goal for the week was to be more active!

    Started well over the weekend. Saturday spent an hour and half at dog agility training, where me and Zac (my little doggy) tore up the course.

    Sunday myself, the fiance and Zac headed down to the beach and played football for about 2 hours. I know we must have been working hard because even though it was grey and cloudy I only had a little vest top on and wasn't cold. Also Zac got so worn out he hid under the pier for a nap!

    I'm back to work today but have already stuck to my active goal by walking to the shop at lunchtime instead of driving (even though it's raining!) so I'm off to a good start and just need to keep it up for the rest of the week. Any weight loss at the end will be great!

    Hey everyone!

    My goal for this week is to get through the first week of c25k and get through one set of level one of 30DS. So far I've made it halfway through the cardio. :) I also hope to lose either a pound or an inch off my hips.

    So I accomplishes one of my goals for the week! Not only did I get through the first set but I got through the whole first day of 30 day shred! So proud! Now, onto c25k. :)

    Well done you! I really enjoyed 30DS when I did it and I can't sing the praises of C25K enough. I started that program last year with the idea of becoming a light jogger. I've now competed in loads of 10ks a few half marathons and am now training for the London Marathon next year. I remember the first time you had to do a non stop 20 min run and thinking I would never be able to do it but the program builds you up so gently that it was a breeze!

    Good luck and let us know how you get on!

    ok so I'm having a rough start

    I went out and bought all this healthy food on Friday and I was soooo excited.

    Friday night the entire region was hit with this ridiculous storm that had trees and power lines down everywhere. So basically I lost power for 2.5 - 3 days and all of my food went bad. I couldn't go to the gym as it was literally 100 degrees with no power and I was more concerned with the near apocalyptic state that the area was in than the gym.

    Starting from Scratch!!

    I have to:

    1st: clean my house (especially the refrigerator)
    2nd: Buy more food and stock up on my exhausted emergency supplies
    3rd: GET TO THE GYM!!!!

    I’m determined to get back on track! (>.<) <- my game face lol

    Thank you! C25k didn't go so well this week. I learned two things: 1. Don't run after just eating or you will get the worst side stitch ever which will hurt for days and 2. Don't run on the sidewalk, try running on the grass so it'll be easier on the knees and you won't be out for days for that. Lol I'm learning as I go.

    I'm going to go weight right now to see if I made my weight/measurement goal.
